Advantages of automatic calibration

Automatic calibration is faster and more secure than manual calibration, because:

●

There is no need to connect several standards manually. The number of connec-

tions to be performed quickly increases with the number of ports.

●

Invalid calibrations due to operator errors (e.g. wrong standards or improper con-

nections) are almost excluded.

●

No need to handle calibration kit data.

●

The internal standards do not wear out because they are switched electronically.

Limitations of automatic calibration

Calibration units do not contain characterized Through standards, so calibration type

TRL is not available.

9.5.5.1 Connecting the calibration unit

The calibration units provide the following connectors:

●

USB type B connector at the rear, which is used to power-supply and control the

unit. A USB cable for connection to the network analyzer is provided with the cali-

bration unit.

●

RF connectors, which are connected to the test ports. For all Rohde & Schwarz

calibration units except a customized R&S ZN-Z51, the connector types are equal

for all ports.

To connect the unit,

1. Switch on and power up your network analyzer.
