2.2 Performing a Transmission Measurement
A transmission measurement involves the same steps as a reflection measurement.
Note the following differences:
●
The test setup for transmission measurements involves two or more DUT and ana-
lyzer ports. For a two-port transmission measurement, you can connect the input of
your DUT to port 1 of the analyzer, the output to port 2. After a preset, the analyzer
will measure the forward transmission S-parameter S

.
●
The analyzer provides special calibration types for transmission measurements.
Use the calibration wizard and select an appropriate type. A TOSM calibration will
correct the system errors for all transmission and reflection S-parameters.
●
The S-parameter wizard ("System – Measurement Wizard – S-parameter" wizard)
will guide you through the essential steps of a standard transmission measure-
ment.
2.3 Basic Tasks
The following sections describe how to solve basic tasks that you will frequently
encounter when working with the instrument. In particular you can learn how to access
instrument functions and control dialogs without a mouse and keyboard.
2.3.1 Control via Front Panel Keys
Although a mouse and external keyboard simplify the operation of the instrument, you
can access all essential functions using the keys on the front panel. The following
examples are intended to make you familiar with front panel key operation.
To access a particular menu command ...
