RFP1: Full Reflection – Port 1
Full Reflection – Port 1
calibration is used to correct for
all errors when making reflection
measurements at port 1 (for
example, Return Loss, VSWR,
Cable Loss, or DTF).
This cal type requires three
connections to Port 1: Open,
Short, Load
2PFP: 1-Path 2-Port – Fwd Path
1-Path 2-Port – Fwd Path
calibration is used to correct for
all errors when making reflection
measurements at port 1 and
transmission measurements
between ports 1 and 2.
This cal type requires four
connections to Port 1: Open,
Short, Load, Thru (between
Port 1 and 2). The Isolation step,
using a load connection on each
port, is optional. If used, it will
improve the dynamic range
performance of the Thru
measurement.
RRP1: Reflection Response – Port 1
Reflection Response –
Port 1calibration is a quick
method used to correct for some
errors when making reflection
measurements at port 1.
This cal type requires one
connection to Port 1: Open or
Short. The load connection is
optional, but if used, will improve
the effectiveness of this
calibration.
