Operational Check Procedure
The sequence of this procedure is very important and must be followed or the performance
accuracy and results may vary from the reference plots provided. Ensure that the Test Set is not
connected to the PNA-X if you are performing a network analyzer Operator’s Check. The PNA-X
will indicate false failures if the Test Set is connected.
If you suspect that your system configuration is not operating properly,
ensure that all front RF jumper interface cables are correctly attached.
Preparing the
Network Analyzer
(14 or 24-Port System)
When configurated as a 14-Port system, Ports 13 and 14 are not connected to
the Test Set, therefore not verified.
1.
Connect the Test Set to the PNA-X 4-Port for a 14 or 24 Port system.
2.
Turn On the Test Set.
3.
On the
PNA-X
, press Response > CAL > Manage Cals > Cal Set. Delete or Rename any Cal
Sets
titled “999.1” thru “999.12” (14-Port) or 999.24 for a 24-Port system, although it is
unlikely
that you will find Cal Sets with these names.
4.
Verify that the PNA-X is in 14 or 24-Port mode. See the bottom of the measurement window.
a.
If only four S-Parameters are listed, press Utility > System > Configure > Multiport
Capability. On the Multiport Restart dialog, select Restart as multiport PNA with this test
set. Select the file for your system (14 or 24-Port). Refer to
5.
Press Preset.
6.
Verify that the [Stop Frequency] is set to [40 GHz].
7.
Verify that the [Start Frequency] is set to [10 MHz].
8.
Verify that the [Power] is to set to [−5 dBm].
9.
Select Response > Avg > IF Bandwidth > 100 Hz.
10.
Select Stimulus > Sweep > Number of Points > 401.
11.
Connect the ECal module to the PNA-X USB port on the front or rear panel. This procedure
assumes you are using a ECal. If you are not, see
12.
Allow the ECal module, Test Set and PNA-X to warm up for a minimum of 30 minutes.
