Controlling the System with PNA-X
N-Port Calibration with the PNA-X
It is recommended that you perform an ECal characterization to minimize the connections required for
multiple port calibration. The N4693AB Option M0F is recommended with cable (85133F) if you are
calibrating at the PNA-X and Test Set ports.
Characterize the ECal module with adapters that will not be used in the measurement of the DUT. To
characterize the ECal module select Response > Cal > More > ECal > Characterize ECal Module -OR-
(Response > Cal > Cal Sets & Cal Kits > Characterize ECals...)
.
Calibrate at the end of the test port RF cables and any adapters that are used to connect the
DUT. This removes the effect on the measurement of the DUT. Failure to do this will create ripple and
other measurement errors.
If measurement errors occur, ensure the newest version of firmware is
installed on the PNA-X. Measurement errors can be a result of
firmware algorithms. Consult with Keysight Service or firmware web
page for the latest PNA-X Option 551 firmware revisions and history.
