This chapter describes how to configure the standard setup with an R&S ZNA
network analyzer and two frequency converters R&S ZC330, for 2-port transmis-
sion measurements.
Measurements using other converters of the R&S ZCxxx family are performed in
an analogous way.
6.1 Required equipment
In general, the standard setup with n frequency converters requires an R&S ZNA
with at least n test ports, equipped with the following hardware options:
●
Direct IF access (R&S ZNA-B26)
●
Converter LO output (R&S ZNA-B8)
The standard RF cabling and the required accessories are described in Chap-
ter 5, "RF connections" , on page 20.
To calibrate the measurement setup, the following equipment is required:
●
For power calibration and leveling, a power meter that covers the measured
frequency range:
– VDI Erickson PM5 or PM4 (with suitable taper) for waveguide ports
– Alternatively, R&S
NRP75TWG or R&S NRP110TWG for waveguide ports
up to 110 GHz (scalar power calibration only)
– A supported coaxial power meter with an upper frequency limit of 23 GHz
or higher for calibrating the LO IN and RF IN signals at the converter (sca-
lar power calibration)
●
For system error correction, a calibration kit for the respective WM-xxxx wave-
