2.1.3 Instrument Calibration
The analyzer provides sophisticated calibration methods for all types of
measurements. Which calibration method is selected depends on the expected system
errors, the accuracy requirements of the measurement, on the test setup and on the
types of calibration standards available.
In the following we assume that the calibration kit ZV-Z21 contains an appropriate male
short standard with known physical properties. With a single short standard, it is
possible to perform a normalization, compensating for a frequency-dependent
attenuation and phase shift in the signal path.
Due to the analyzer's calibration wizard, calibration is a straightforward, menu-guided
process.
1. Unscrew the DUT and connect the male short standard from
calibration kit ZV-Z21.
2. Press the CAL function key to open the calibration menu.
3. Activate
Start Cal – One Port P1 – Normalization (Short)
to open
the calibration wizard for the selected calibration type
.
