In OPEN or SHORT response calibration, calibration data are measured by connecting an OPEN or SHORT standard, respectively, to the desired test port. For frequency response, these calibrations effectively eliminate the reflection tracking error from the test setup reflection test using that port.
1-Port error model (OPEN/SHORT response)
It is also possible to carry out isolation calibration with a LOAD standard during OPEN/SHORT response calibration. An isolation calibration will eliminate the directivity error from the test setup in a reflection test using that port
1-Port error model (OPEN/SHORT response + isolation)
System Z0 should be changed to 1 ohm before calibration when using waveguide calibration kit and measuring waveguide devices.
Press Channel Next/Channel Prev keys to select the channel for which you want to perform the calibration.
Press Cal key.
Click Calibrate.
Click Select Port.
Select the test port upon which you will perform OPEN/SHORT response calibration.
Connect a calibration standard (OPEN or SHORT) to the selected test port (connector to which the DUT is to be connected).
Click Open or Short to start the calibration measurement.
If an isolation calibration must be performed using a LOAD standard, follow the procedure below.
Connect a LOAD standard to the selected test port (connector to which the DUT is to be connected).
Click Load (Optional) to start the measurement on the LOAD standard.
Click Done to terminate the response calibration (and the LOAD isolation calibration) process. Upon pressing this key, calibration coefficients will be calculated and saved. The error correction function will also be automatically enabled.
