System Verification
The performance of the network analyzer is specified in two ways: system
specifications, and instrument specifications. It is the end users'
responsibility to determine which set of specifications is applicable to their
use of the E5071C.
A network analyzer measurement “system” includes the analyzer,
calibration kit, test cables, and any necessary adapters. The system
verification software in the E5071C is used to verify the system’s
conformance to the “system” specifications. A “pass” result demonstrates
that the analyzer, test cables, and adapters, perform correctly as a
system. It DOES NOT demonstrate that any one component performs
according to its individual specifications. A change to any part of this
measurement system requires a re-verification of the system.
Instrument specifications specify the network analyzer’s uncorrected
measurement port characteristics and its output and input behavior. The
E5071C performance tests are used to verify the analyzer’s conformance to
“instrument” specifications.
The System Verification utility verifies the E5071C's system specifications
by automatically measuring the magnitude and phase for all four S-
parameters for each verification device, and comparing the values against
the following:
• Factory measured data from files on the verification disk
• Limit lines based on the measurement uncertainty
System Verification requires the use of a Calibration Kit and Verification Kit
which has been certified within the past 12 months by Agilent. System
Verification can NOT be used to perform this kit certification.
