Perform a source flatness calibration, if the default values for cable and split-
ter losses deviate significantly from the actual ones (sum deviation > 2
dB).
Chapter 6.3, "Configuring the converter setup"
3. The second page of the wizard offers several calibration types:
a) "Ref. Receiver"
To perform a reference receiver calibration, connect a power meter with
suitable frequency range to the waveguide port of the respective converter.
During the calibration, the R&S
ZNA performs a frequency sweep and
uses the power meter readings to correct the readings of the related refer-
ence receiver (transfer calibration). For supported power meters, see the
R&S
ZNA help system or user manual.
With the default power calibration method of the R&S
ZNA, subsequent
measurement receiver and source flatness calibrations rely on an existing
reference receiver calibration. For output power leveling, an existing refer-
ence receiver calibration of the respective port is a prerequisite.
Scalar power calibration and leveling (optional)
