ME7838D System Verification Procedure
The broadband system verification procedure is described below. The procedure assumes that the Broadband
VNA System Performance Verification Software has been installed to an External Personal Computer with
National Instruments GPIB interface running Microsoft Windows Operating System.
Equipment Required
•
Personal Computer:
•
Microsoft Windows Operating System
•
National Instruments GPIB interface
•
GPIB interface cable
•
Anritsu 3659 0.8 mm Connector Calibration / Verification Kit
Special Precautions
When performing the procedures in this chapter, observe the following precautions:
•
Minimize vibration and movement of the system and attached components.
•
Clean and check pin depth and condition of all adapters and calibration components.
Procedure
1.
Using the GPIB interface cable to connect the external computer to the MS4647B rear panel system
GPIB connector. It is the upper GPIB port labeled
IEEE488.2 GPIB
.
2.
Dismount both MA25300A Millimeter-Wave modules from the probe station, if required.
3.
Place both modules on a leveled surface so that both test ports are facing each other.
4.
Install the 0.8 mm female to female adapter from the 3659 Calibration / Verification Kit on the Port 1
MA25300A Millimeter-Wave Module. This converts Port 1 from a male test port to a female test port.
5.
Install the 0.8 mm male to female adapter from the 3659 Calibration / Verification Kit on the Port 2
MA25300A Millimeter-Wave Module.
6.
Run the Anritsu 0.8 mm Connector ME7838D/G VNA System Performance Verification Software on the
PC.
7.
Follow the directions displayed on the computer to perform calibration.
8.
Follow the directions displayed on the computer to perform measurement of the verification standards.
Note
The
3659 0.8 mm Calibration / Verification Kit and System Performance Verification Software
User Guide – 10410-00327
explains in detail the Personal Computer requirements and procedures
to be used for the installation and operation of the verification software on the PC.
