Determine if a Calibration is Necessary
This section shows you how to determine if your measurement system
requires a user-dehned calibration.
When a Calibration Is Not Necessary
l Your test doesn’t require the best accuracy possible.
l Your test device is connected directly to the reflection port with no adapters
or intervening cables.
l Your test device impedance matches the impedance of the analyzer.
If your test setup meets these conditions, you do not need to perform any
additional calibrations, however without a user-calibration, the analyzer is not
guaranteed to meet its published measurement port specifications.
When a Calibration Is Necessary
l You want the best accuracy possible.
l You are adapting to a different connector type or impedance.
l You are connecting a cable between the test device and the analyzer test
ports.
l You are measuring a narrowband or electrically long device.
l You are connecting any attenuator or other such device on the input or
output of the test device.
