The system impedance can be changed for measuring devices with an impedance other than 50 ohms, such as waveguide devices. The VNA mathematically transforms and displays the measurement data as though the VNA ports were the specified impedance value. Physically, the test ports are always about 50 ohms.
How to change the System Impedance |
Using Hardkey/SoftTab/Softkey |
|
Allows you to change the system impedance (default setting is 50 ohms). Z0 Displays the current system impedance. For 75 ohm devices:
For waveguide devices When selecting a Cal Kit with an impedance other than 50 ohms (Waveguide = 1 ohm), it is NO LONGER NECESSARY to change the System Impedance setting before performing a calibration. The impedance for the calibration is now derived from the Cal Kit 'Connector' impedance setting. |
