2-3 Transmission Dynamic Range Chapter 2 — Vector Network Analyzer Verification
2-2 PN: 10580-00324 Rev. N S412E MM
2-3 Transmission Dynamic Range
The following test is used to verify the transmission dynamic range of the vector network analyzer.
The procedures are automated by using the LMR Master Instrument Test software, CDROM part number
2300-535, in conjunction with the equipment listed in the Equipment Required section below.
The software guides the user to perform multiple full 12 Term calibrations on the LMR Master for specific
frequency bands using the appropriate calibration tees, measure the noise floor, and calculate the
Transmission Dynamic Range.
Equipment Required
• Calibration Tee, N male, Anritsu Model OSLN50-1
• Calibration Tee, N female, Anritsu Model OSLNF50-1
• RF Coaxial Cable, Anritsu Model 15NN50-1.5C
• USB Mini-B male to USB Type A male Cable, Anritsu part number 3-2000-1498
• Personal Computer with Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 7 Operating System, USB port and
National Instrument VISA software 4.4.1 or later
• Test Software CD, Anritsu part number 2300-535.
Procedure
1. Install the software from Test Software CD 2300-535.
2. Open the VNA Instrument Test Verification software.
3. Choose Verify System.
4. Choose Begin VNA Verification.
5. Follow the directions under the USB Interface Protocol.
6. After choosing Check VNA Connection, choose Next.
7. Enter the Operator’s name.
8. Choose Transmission_Reflection_Measurement.
9. Choose S412E_Series_N-CalKit_Verification.
10. Choose Manual Calibration and enter the serial numbers of the Male and Female OSL calibration tees.
11. Choose Next > (Begin Measurements).
12. Allow the software to create the file path for the test results if not already created.
13. In the Tests section two tests should be selected: VNA Calibration and Transmission Dynamic Range (RMS).
14. Choose Start VNA Measurements.
15. Follow the directions on the screen until both the VNA Calibration and the Transmission Dynamic Range
(RMS) tests are complete.
16. Go to the directory on the PC where the test data was saved. The default path is:
C:\Anritsu VNA Verification\VNA_Reports\S412E_unit_serial_number.
17. Print the test results reported by the software and attach it to the test record in Appendix A.
