Controlling the Test Set and Making Measurements

Calibrating the Test System

Figure 2-3

Calibrating the Test System

For the best accuracy perform a full two-port calibration between the 
test set PORT 1 and PORT 3, and again between PORT 1 and PORT 5. 
Save the calibrations as instrument states. Refer to the network 
analyzer user’s guide for information on calibrations and saving 
instrument states.

CAUTION

When performing a full two-port calibration and making subsequent 
measurements, you must use the transfer switch internal to the 
8753D/E analyzer to change the RF signal path direction. Do not use 
the test set to change the RF signal path direction when you are 
entering a full two-port calibration. Doing so will render the calibration 
invalid.

NOTE

The SelfCal feature (described in the 87050E /87075C User’s and 
Service Guide) is not available when using the Option H08 with the 
8753D/E analyzer.

Making Measurements

The following examples assume that you are using a parallel port 
connection with an 8753D/E, with the test set’s parallel address set to 
“0”. See 

“Setting the Test Set Address Switch” on page 17

 for 

information on setting the test set’s address.
