Making Measurements
Measuring Reflection Response
NOTE
By convention, cal kit labels in the analyzer indicate the sex of the port
with which they are used. For example, the default cal kit for the
analyzer is type-N female because the front panel RF ports are female
(the calibration standards, in turn, have male connectors).
NOTE
If you are going to be using calibration standards other than the default
(female type-N), you must select the connector type by pressing
and then selecting the appropriate type.
Chapter 6 provides detail about when this calibration is necessary. If you
wish to perform a one-port reflection calibration on your instrument for a
reflection response measurement, execute the following steps:
1. Press .
2. The instrument will prompt you to connect three standards (open,
short and load) and measure them. See Figure 3-14 .
Figure 3-14 Open, Short, Load Connections
3. Press after connecting each standard.
4. The analyzer will measure each standard and then calculate new
calibration coefficients. The message "
Calibration complete.
"
will appear for a few seconds when the analyzer is done calculating
the new error correction array.
