Calibrating for Increased Measurement Accuracy
Full Two-Port Error Correction (ES Analyzers Only)
Full Two-Port Error Correction (ES Analyzers Only)
• removes directivity errors of the test setup in forward and reverse directions
• removes source match errors of the test setup in forward and reverse directions
• removes load match errors of the test setup in forward and reverse directions
• removes isolation errors of the test setup in forward and reverse directions (optional)
• removes frequency response of the test setup in forward and reverse directions
NOTE This is the most accurate error-correction procedure. Since the analyzer takes both forward
and reverse sweeps to update one measurement trace, this procedure takes more time than
the other correction procedures.
1. Set any measurement parameters that you want for the device measurement: power, format, number of
points, or IF bandwidth.
2. To access the measurement correction menus, press:
3. If your calibration kit is different than the kit specified under the softkey, press:
(select your type of kit)
If your type of calibration kit is not listed in the displayed menu, refer to "Modifying Calibration Kits" on
page 7-57.
4. To select the correction type, press:
5. Connect a shielded open circuit to PORT 1.
NOTE Include any adapters that you will have in the device measurement. That is, connect the
standard to the particular connector where you will connect your DUT.
