Calibration Choices
To choose the appropriate calibration method suited to your type of
measurement, follow these steps:
1. Set up the analyzer for your measurement:
• Select or .
• Enter operating parameters other than the default.
2. When performing a one-port reflection calibration or an enhanced
response calibration, you must select a calibration kit to match the
port at your calibration reference plane. Refer to
“The Calibration
Reference Plane” on page 6-5 and “Calibration Kits” on page 6-16 .
3. Press the key to bring up the calibration choices for the type of
measurement you selected in step 1.
See Table 6-1 and Figure 6-4 on the following pages for the types of
calibrations available for each type of measurement. Later sections in
this chapter discuss these different types of calibrations, organized by
measurement type. There is also a discussion of a type of calibration
called normalization.
