1-port calibration
Measurement modes that need the 1-port calibration are Reflection, DTF, Cable Loss, 1 Port Phase, and
Smith Chart.
It is recommended that you perform an O-S-L calibration right at the Reflection/RF Out port of the instrument
without using an extension cable in order to minimize a measurement error. If using an extension cable is
inevitable, you need to use a phase stable cable and perform the O-S-L calibration at the open end of the
extension cable.
NOTE
If the O-S-L calibration is done at the end of the port extension cable for DTF
measurement, the length of the port extension cable is compensated automatically and is
not included in the distance to the point of discontinuity.
Bending or moving the extension cable while making a measurement may cause errors in
the measurement.

soft key to start calibration.
The calibration progress bar appears.
5
Connect the
SHORT
connector of the CAL Kit directly to the
Reflection/RF Out
port or at the
end of the connected extension cable.
6
Press the
Continue
soft key to continue calibration.
The calibration progress bar appears.
7
Connect the
LOAD
connector of the CAL Kit directly to the
Reflection/RF Out
port or at the end
of the connected extension cable.
8
Press the
Continue
soft key to continue calibration.
