Defining Calibration Kit

Other topics about Performing Calibration

Overview

When option 005 impedance analysis is installed, the calibration kit can be defined by the following three standard models. The equivalent circuit and table models are available only when option 005 is installed.

Polynomial

This model is the same as the calibration kit definition of S-Parameter measurements. See Modifying Calibration Kit Definition.

Equivalent Circuit

This model allows you to define the calibration kit by the following model.  When you use the equivalent circuit model, one of either Open, Short, Load or Arbitrary should be selected as the Standard Type.

Table

You can specify the frequency characteristic of impedance for the termination. The definition cannot be set using the softkey. You need to specify it by using the commands. See the following command to specify the calibration kit.

When you use the table model, either one of these: Open, Short, Load or Arbitrary should be selected as the Standard Type.

Procedure of Defining Calibration Kit

This section provides the procedure to change the definition of a calibration kit.

Polynomial

See Defining Parameters for Standards.

Equivalent Circuit/Table

a. Select and define a calibration kit
  1. Press Cal > Cal Kit, then select the calibration kit to be redefined.

  2. Click Modify Kit.

  3. If necessary ,click Label Kit and type a new label for the calibration kit.

b. Select the standard type and define standard coefficient
  1. Click Define STDs and select the standard number to be redefined.

  2. If necessary, click Label, then type your desired name for the selected standard.

  3. Click STD Type, then select the type of standard.

  4. Click STD Model > Equiv Ckt or Table

  5. When STD Model is set at Equiv Ckt, set the standard coefficient.

  6. Repeat steps 4 to 8 to redefine all the standards for which changes are necessary, then click Return.

Standard Class allows you to use different standards for each port. Generally, this is not used in the impedance calibration.
