Overview
In THRU response calibration, calibration data are measured by connecting
a THRU standard to the desired test port. This calibration effectively
eliminates the frequency response transmission tracking error from the
test setup in a transmission test using that port.
2-Port error model (THRU response)
It is also possible to carry out an isolation calibration using a LOAD
standard in the process of THRU response calibration. An isolation
calibration will eliminate isolation error (crosstalk error) from the test
setup in a transmission test using that port.
2-Port Error model (THRU response + isolation)
1. System Z0 should be changed to 1 ohm before calibration when
using waveguide calibration kit and measuring waveguide
devices.
Procedure
1. Press Channel Next/Channel Prev keys to select the channel for which
you want to perform the calibration.
2. Press Cal key.
3. Click Calibrate > Response (Thru) > Select Ports.
