Cal Kit Operational Check
Verification Limits
Specifications for the test set are typical. System performance for the analyzer and test set are
only characteristic and intended as non-warranted information. Only a functional certificate is
provided for the test set.
It is recommended that you return your instrument to Keysight Technologies for servicing or
repair if the test set and network analyzer performance exceed the operational verification
limits.
A periodic calibration is not required. The Operators Check should be performed after System
Setup, or if performance is in question. An N-Port calibration should be performed before
making a measurement.
NOTE
Typical performance is based on 1 to 2 units.
Refer to
If you suspect that your 20-Port configuration is not operating properly, ensure
that all front RF jumper interconnect cables are correctly connected.

1. Response from 10 MHz to 500 MHz is normal due to the PNA-X couplers in
comparison to the test set bridges. The bridges have more gain in the coupled
RF path.
