Selecting the Frequency Range
The following procedure selects the frequency range for the calibration.
Step 4. Press the
FREQ/DIST
key.
Step 5. Press the
F1
soft key.
Step 6. Enter 2, 5 or a user-defined frequency using the key pad or the Up/Down arrow
key.
Step 7. Press
ENTER
to set F1 to 25 MHz.
Step 8. Press the
F2
soft key.
Step 9. Enter 1, 2, 0, 0 or a user-defined frequency using the keypad or the Up/Down ar-
row key.
Step 10. Press
ENTER
to set F2 to 1200 MHz.
Step 11. Check that the FREQ (MHz) scale in the display area indicates the new fre-
quency start and stop values (for example: F1 = 25 MHz, F2 = 1200 MHz).
Performing a Calibration
The following procedure details how to perform the calibration.
Step 12. Press the
START CAL
key. The message “Connect Open to RF OUT port” will
appear in the display.
Step 13. Connect the calibrated Open and press the
ENTER
key. The messages “Mea-
suring OPEN” and “Connect Short to RF OUT” will appear.
Step 14. Remove the Open, connect the calibrated Short and press the
ENTER
key. The
messages “Measuring SHORT” and “Connect TERMINATION to RF OUT”
will appear.
Step 15. Remove the Short, connect the calibrated Termination and press the
ENTER
key. The messages “Measuring TERMINATION ” will appear.
Step 16. Verify that the calibration has been properly performed by checking that the
message “CAL ON” is displayed in the upper left corner of the display.
Setting the Amplitude Scale
Step 17. Press the
AMPLITUDE
or
LIMIT
key to call up the Scale menu.
Step 18. In SWR mode, press the
TOP
soft key and enter 1, ., 1, 0 using the key pad or
the Up/Down arrow key, and press
ENTER
. (In Return Loss mode, enter 0.)
Step 19. In SWR mode, press the
BOTTOM
soft key and enter 1, ., 0, 0 using the key pad
or the Up/Down arrow key, and press
ENTER
. (In Return Loss mode, enter 54.)
NOTE:
Figure 4-2 and 4-3 show the typical responses of a valid calibration with a load
attached to the test port with 517 data points.
To change the number of data points, press the
SWEEP
key, followed by the
RESOLUTION
soft key. Select 130, 259, or 517 data points.
In the examples, all markers are deactivated.
