Gamma Correction
The Gamma Correction feature enables you to correct for the impedance 
mismatch between the Device-Under-Test (DUT) and the power sensor via Single 
Point Gamma Correction or Table-Based Gamma Correction. For Single Point 
Gamma Correction, the DUT Gamma you provide will be applied to measurement 
correction across all frequencies in the sensor operating range. For Table-Based 
Gamma Correction, you may provide a list of Gamma values for the desired 
measurement frequencies. The programming sequence examples below describe 
some simple commands to accomplish the following:
– Enter the Single Point Gamma
– Turn on Single Point Gamma Correction
The examples below describe some simple commands to accomplish the 
following:
– Create a Gamma table
– Assign a Gamma magnitude-phase pair of values for a frequency value
– Turn on Table-Based Gamma Correction
-> SENS:CORR:SGAM:MAGN 0.2  // Sets DUT Gamma magnitude to 0.2
-> SENS:CORR:SGAM:PHAS –45  //
Sets DUT Gamma phase to –45
o
-> SENS:CORR:SGAM:STAT ON  // Turns on Single Point Gamma 
Correction
-> SENS:CORR:SGAM? // Queries the DUT Gamma currently 
being used for measurement correction
-> 
MEM:TABL:SEL “Gamma1”  // Selects the Gamma table named 
“Gamma1”
-> 
MEM:TABL:FREQ 50MHz // Inputs a frequency of 50 MHz into the 
selected table
-> 
MEM:TABL:SGAM 0.1,150  // Inputs the DUT Gamma 
magnitude-phase pair values; 0.1 for 
magnitude, and 150
o
 for phase
