Learning to Make Transmission Measurements
Step 2. Make an error-correction (measurement calibration)
1. Connect a "thru" between the measurement cables, as shown in Figure 2-3. Include all
the adapters that you will use in your device measurement.
If noise reduction techniques are needed for the measurement, the instrument's
settings (reduced IF BW, and /or averaging) should be done prior to any
error-correction.

2. Press the following keys to make a transmission response calibration:
Cal, CALIBRATE MENU, RESPONSE, THRU
3. To save the error-correction (measurement calibration), press:
Save/Recall, SELECT DISK
4. Next, choose from the following options:
■ Choose
INTERNAL MEMORY if you want to save the calibration results and instrument
state to the analyzer's memory.
■ Choose
INTERNAL DISK if you want to save the calibration results and instrument state
to the disk that is in the analyzer's internal disk drive.
■ Choose
EXTERNAL DISK if you want to save the calibration results and instrument state
to the disk that is in an (optional) external disk drive that is configured to the
analyzer.
5. Press
RETURN, SAVE STATE to save the error-correction (measurement calibration).
NOTE Example procedures for all types of error-corrections (measurement
calibrations) are located in the "Optimizing Measurement Results"
chapter in the HP 8753E Network Analyzer User's Guide. For
information on the analyzer operation during an error-correction
(measurement calibration), refer to the "Application and Operation
Concepts" chapter in the user's guide.
