VVM (Vector Voltmeter) Mode – Option 308 129
VVM Calibration
In VVM Mode, calibration is performed in the same manner as in CAT and NA
Modes. In summary, a Preset Cal is sufficient when the DUT is connected
directly to the FieldFox RF Out test port. When using an adapter or jumper cable
to connect the DUT, first perform a QuickCal + Load or OSL Cal before making
measurements. Learn more about these FieldFox calibrations on page 53.
To make an accurate measurement, set Zero OFF before calibrating.
