10. UNCORRECTED SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEST
Description
This test checks the directivity, source match, load match, transmission tracking, and
reflection tracking which are the key S-parameter measurement hardware characteristics.
These characteristics are tested using the Agilent 85032F (Up to 8.5 GHz Options) or
Agilent 85052D (Over 8.5 GHz Options) Calibration Kit with segment points for a
specified frequency range. After a full two-port (2-port of Options) or a full four-port
(4-port of Options) calibration is performed for each test port VBA test programs are
executes to output the directivity, source match, load match, transmission tracking and
reflection data to the display.
