UOSM can be selected explicitly in the "Calibration Presetting" dialog.
After acquiring the calibration sweep data for the unknown through, the analyzer auto-
matically determines its delay time/transmission phase.

Adapter Removal
Many DUTs use different connector types on their RF ports (e.g. port 1: N-type con-
nector, female; port 2: PC 3.5-type connector, female).
DUTs of this sort are also known as
noninsertable devices
.
A suitable calibration kit is then required for each of the different connector types. The
kit must include, as a minimum, the standards that are used for one-port calibration.
The through-connection between test ports with different connector types must be
made using
adapters
.
The problem here is that unlike Through standards, adapters are usually not character-
ized, i.e. their delay time/transmission phase is unknown.
If the adapter fulfills the reciprocity condition S

= S

, it can serve as

Adapter Removal
is an extension of the
2-port
UOSM calibration. It requires two addi-
tional reflection OSM calibrations with the adapter successively connected to port 1
and port 2.
