ME7838A/E System Verification Procedure—Waveguide
Millimeter-Wave System Configuration
The millimeter-wave system verification procedure is described below. It verifies the corrected source match
and corrected directivity of the ME7838A/E system at the waveguide test port of the millimeter-wave module.
The system must be calibrated and the error correction must be applied for these tests.
Procedure
1.
Dismount both Millimeter-Wave modules (3744A-EE, 3744A-EW, SM6499, SM6527, 3744E-EE, or
3744E-EW) from the probe station, if required.
2.
Place both Millimeter-Wave modules on a leveled surface.
3.
Install the precision waveguide sections from the 3655X-1 calibration kit to the test port of each
Millimeter-Wave module.
4.
Apply AC power to the system.
5.
Allow the system to warm up for at least 90 minutes.
6.
On the MS464xx VNA, set the
start
and
stop
frequency to match the operating range of the
millimeter-wave modules installed to the VNA system. For example, set the
Start
frequency to 65 GHz
and the
Stop
frequency to 110 GHz when 3744A-EW Modules are installed to the VNA system.
7.
Set the
# of Points
to 401.
8.
Press the
Avg
key and set the
IFBW
to 1 kHz.

Note
Precision index pins must be used for all steps and all components used in the procedure.
Note
If the heatsink has been separated from the module while installing to the probe station, install the
module onto its original heatsink.
