Creating and Applying
the User Flatness
Correction Array
The following examples demonstrate the user atness correction
feature:
1. Using an HP/Agilent 437B p o w er meter to automatically en ter
correction data for a sw ept 4 to 10 GHz measuremen t.
2. Manually en tering correction data for a stepp ed (List Mo de)
measuremen t.
3. Making sw ept mm-w a v e measuremen ts, automatically en tering
correction data for an arbitrary list of correction frequencies.
4. Making scalar analysis measuremen ts with automatically-entered
correction data that comp ensates for p o w er v ariations at the
output of a directional bridge.
Eac h example illustrates ho w to set up correction tables for a
dieren t measuremen t requiremen t. Mo dify the instrumen t setups
sho wn to suit y our particular needs. Completed correction tables
may b e easily edited if more correction data is required for y our
measuremen t. Additional correction frequencies may b e added
b y using the auto ll feature or b y en tering correction frequencies
individually . The auto ll feature adds but do es not delete correction
frequencies.
There are t w o basic fron t-panel metho ds of creating a atness
correction array . The rst and quic k est metho d is to use an
HP/Agilent 437B p o w er meter. Refer to Figure 1-18 for the setup.
The second metho d is just as accurate, but requires a little more
in teraction b et w een the op erator and the instrumen ts. Figure 1-19
sho ws the setup for the second metho d.
