3-10 ME7838G 0.8 mm Coaxial System Verification Procedure
The 0.8 mm coaxial system verification procedure is described below. The procedure assumes that the 0.8 mm
Connector 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
•
Anritsu 33.8G50 0.8 mm male to MA25400A Adapters (Qty 2)
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 MA25400A Millimeter-Wave modules from the probe station, if required.
3.
Un-install the wafer probes from both modules and then install 33.8G50 Adapters to both modules. This
converts the test port of both modules to 0.8 mm male coaxial connector.
4.
Place both modules on a leveled surface so that both test ports are facing each other.
5.
Install the 0.8 mm female to female adapter from the 3659 Calibration / Verification Kit on the Port 1
MA25400A Millimeter-Wave Module. This converts Port 1 from a male test port to a female test port.
6.
Install the 0.8 mm male to female adapter from the 3659 Calibration / Verification Kit on the Port 2
MA25400A Millimeter-Wave Module.
7.
Run the Anritsu 0.8 mm Connector ME7838D/G VNA System Performance Verification Software on the
PC.
8.
Follow the directions displayed on the computer to perform calibration.
9.
Follow the directions displayed on the computer to perform measurement of the verification standards.
Note
Do not connect to the lower GPIB port labeled
Dedicated GPIB
.
Note
If the heatsink has been separated from the module while installing to the probe station, install the
module onto its original heatsink.
