Step 6.

Perform Source and Receiver Calibration Adjustments

The following adjustments must be made due to the change in the full frequency range of the
analyzer.

Source Calibration Adjustment

The source calibration is used to adjust your network analyzer for a flat source power across
its full frequency range. The differences between Port 1 and Port 2 are negligible; therefore, a
Port 2 adjustment is not required.

1. Connect the equipment as shown in

Figure 7

. Connect a GPIB cable between the network

analyzer and the power meter.
