from one frequency point to the next. The R&S ZVA automatically establishes an appropriate frequency
grid for the Unknown Through calibration sweep, depending on the active sweep type:
If a frequency sweep (Lin Frequency, Log Frequency, Segmented Frequency) is active, additional
frequency points are inserted between the sweep points of the calibrated channel.
If a sweep type with constant frequency (Power, Time, CW Mode) is active, additional frequency
points are inserted over a 2 GHz-wide frequency range centered around the CW frequency. If the
CW frequency is too close to the upper/lower frequency limit of the analyzer, the frequency range
is cut in half (e.g. 0.5 GHz to 1.5 GHz, if the CW frequency is 0.5 GHz). A message dialog of the
following type appears.
The additional frequency points are used for the calibration only and do not overwrite the channel settings.
Should any of the components in your test setup not be designed for the required frequency range
(causing a faulty delay or transmission phase and thus an inaccurate calibration), you can still proceed to
the next dialog (Measure Standards), perform the necessary calibration sweeps for the UOSM calibration,
press Next, and enter the delay manually.
