Specifying Different Standards for Each Frequency

Other topics about Advanced Calibration

 Overview

This section demonstrates the procedure to define a different open standard for each frequency band, based on the following information:

Standard

Label name

Frequencies to be defined

Open

Open 3G

1 GHz - 3 GHz

Open

Open 6G

3 GHz - 6 GHz

  1. Press Cal key.

  2. Click Cal Kit.

  3. Select a calibration kit you want to define.

  4. Click Modify Kit > Define STDs.

  5.  Select #1, click Label, and enter Open 3G using the character input pad that appears on the screen.

  6. Click Open as the standard type (STD Type).

  7. Set a necessary standard coefficient.

  8. Enter 1G as the minimum frequency for Min Frequency.

  9. Enter 3G as the maximum frequency for Max Frequency.

  10. Click Return.

  11. In the same way, select #2, press Label, and enter Open 6G using the character input pad that appears on the screen.

  12. Select Open as the standard type (STD Type).

  13. Set a necessary standard coefficient.

  14. Enter 3G as the minimum frequency for Min Frequency.

  15. Enter 6G as the maximum frequency for Max Frequency.

  16. Click Return.

Defining Standards for Each Subclass

This section demonstrates the procedure to specify a different OPEN standard for each frequency band, using subclasses #1 and #2. In this example, the standards created in Defining different standard for each frequency band are used.

  1. Press Cal Key.

  2. Click Cal Kit.

  3. Select a calibration kit you want to use.

  4. Click Modify Kit > Specify CLSs.

  5. Click Sub Class > Sub Class 1.

  6. Select the standard type Open, press Set All, make settings for all ports.

  7. Select #1 (Open 3G).

  8. Click Return.

  9. Then, press Sub Class, and select Sub Class 2.

  10. Select the standard type Open, press Set All, make settings for all ports.

  11. Select #2 (Open 6G).

  12. Click Return.

Disabling Standards Defined for a Subclass

The following procedure shows how to disable a standard defined for a subclass. You cannot disable subclass 1 because at least one standard must exist. The following procedure shows how to disable an OPEN standard of subclass 2.

  1. Press Cal key.

  2. Click Cal Kit.

  3. Select a calibration kit you want to use.

  4. Click Modify Kit > Specify CLSs.

  5. Click Sub Class > Sub Class 2.

  6. Select the standard type Open, click Set All, make settings for all ports.

  7. Select None.

  8. Click Return.

Possible Cases of Frequency Ranges Using Subclasses

By using several subclasses, you can set a different standard for each frequency, but note the following on frequency ranges. The following table shows possible cases and whether calibration is possible.

Possible cases of frequency ranges

Execution of calibration

Example 1, When frequency ranges specified with subclasses overlap

Possible

Example 2, When frequency ranges specified with subclasses do not cover a part of a measurement frequency range

Impossible

Example 3, When a frequency range specified with a subclass lies outside the measurement frequency range

Possible

Example 4, When a part of a frequency range specified with a subclass lies outside the measurement frequency range

Possible

 

Example 1, When frequency ranges specified with subclasses overlap

For the measurement frequency range (1 GHz - 8 GHz), if you execute calibration with a standard of subclass 1 (1 GHz-5 GHz) and then with a standard of subclass 2 (4 GHz-8 GHz), the standard last executed is applied for the overlapping portion (4 GHz-5 GHz).

Example 2, When frequency ranges specified with subclasses do not cover a part of a measurement frequency range

For a measurement frequency range (1 GHz to 8 GHz), if you execute calibration with a standard of subclass 1 (1 GHz to 5 GHz) and then with a standard of subclass 2 (6 GHz to 8 GHz), Done is NOT available for the undefined portion (5 GHz-6 GHz).

Example 3, When a frequency range specified with a subclass lies outside the measurement frequency range

For a measurement frequency range (1 GHz to 5 GHz), if you define a standard of subclass 1 (1 GHz to 5 GHz) and a standard of subclass 2 (5 GHz to 8 GHz), calibration possible for subclass 2 although it is out of the measurement frequency range. The calibration coefficients, however, are disregarded. (There is no check mark on the softkey.) Note that, because the standard of subclass 1 covers the measurement frequency range, Done is available.

 

Example 4, When a part of a frequency range specified with a subclass lies outside the measurement frequency range

For a measurement frequency range (1 GHz to 6 GHz), if you define a standard of subclass 1 (1 GHz - 5 GHz) and a standard of subclass 2 (5 GHz to 8 GHz), a part of subclass 2 (6 GHz to 8 GHz) lies outside the measurement frequency range, but the other part (5 GHz to 6 GHz) lies within it, so calibration is possible.
