How to Calibrate a Measurement Setup Using a Tracking Generator

1. If the measurement setup does not require the full span of the R&S

 

FPL1000,

change the "Frequency Start" and "Frequency Stop" values ([FREQ] > "Frequency
Config").

2. Select the "GEN Config" tool on the toolbar.

3. Select the "Usage": "Tracking Generator".

4. Set the "State" to "On".

5. Define the generator output level as the "Level".

6. Optionally, to define a constant level offset for the tracking generator, define a

"Level Offset".

7. Select the "Source Calibration" type: "Transmission" to perform a calibration sweep

and store a reference trace for the measurement setup.

Normalization is automatically set to "On".

8. Optionally, shift the reference line further down in the result display by decreasing

the "Reference": "Position".

The measurement setup is now calibrated. Subsequent measurement results are
normalized, so that any unwanted effects from the cables and connectors are
removed.

How to Remove the Effects of a Particular Component from Measurement
Results Using Calibration

1. Set up the measurement, including the component, and perform a calibration as

described in 

"How to Calibrate a Measurement Setup Using a Tracking Generator"

on page 300.

2. After calibration, select "Save as Trd Factor" to store the normalized reference

trace as a transducer factor.
