Error Term Data
The error term descriptions in this section include the following information:
• a table of the error terms
• typical plots of results
• significance of each error term
• guidelines to interpret each error term

shown with each description are typical of a working system following a full 2-port
calibration as performed in “Performing Measurement Calibration” on page A-4.
IMPORTANT Data are listed here as a convenience only. Detailed instrument specifications
are listed in the embedded help in the network analyzer.
If Error Terms Seem Worse than Expected
To verify that the system still conforms to specifications, perform a system verification.
