External Instrument Calibration

Keysight E6960A User Guide and Method of Implementation

Introduction 

All instruments must be calibrated prior to running the Compliance tests. The 

compliance application software guides you in calibrating the AWG and the ENA.

Calibrating the AWG

Before running disturbing signal tests, the AWG must be calibrated. Connect the 

equipment as shown in Figure 1-9 on page 29.

NOTE

The AWG Disturbing Signal Source must be Configured before attempting to 

Calibrate it. If the system is not physically configured to perform the calibration, 

the application prompts you to change the physical configuration. Refer to 

“Appendix B. 

“Configure External Instruments” 

on page 51

NOTE

Instead of connecting SMA to SMA cables on the N5393C Evaluation Board, 

connect 50 

 Terminators to the two DUT SMA Connectors on the Evaluation 

Board. This is shown in 

Figure C-1
