User-characterized ECal

Other topics about Calibration with ECal

Overview

The E5063A allows you to execute ECal calibration with user-defined characteristics instead of the ECal characteristics defined as the factory default. This feature is called User-characterized ECal, and it is used to execute ECal calibration when an adapter is connected to the ECal module.

The E5063A cannot define the User-characterized ECal and cannot save them to the built-in flash memory of the ECal module as the user characteristics. To do that, other ENA network analyzers are required.

Executing User-characterized ECal

The execution procedure for the User-characterized ECal is the same as for normal ECal except that it requires the user characteristics to be selected in advance.

  2. Press Cal > ECal > Characterization.

  3. Select a user characteristic.
