Calibration VECTOR MOD
In order to obtain accurate and reproducible measurements, the I/Q modulator has to be calibrated. To
do this the internal calibration routine VECTOR MOD is used for adjusting the residual carrier, I/Q
imbalance and quadrature offset of the modulator. Calibration should be carried out prior to the
measurement but after a warm-up time of approx. 1 h or in the case of temperature changes of more
than 5° C.
