The Analyzer supports the following calibration methods in a waveguide environment:
•Reflection Normalization or Transmission Normalization
•One-Path Two-Port Calibration
The Analyzer further supports use of a sliding load standard in the above-mentioned calibrations, except TRL.
General use and features:
•System Z0 should be set to 1 Ω before calibration. Offset Z0 and terminal impedance in the calibration standard definition also should be set to 1 Ω (See System Impedance Z0).
•Waveguide calibration uses two offset SHORT standards instead of a combination of short and open standards. Typically, 1/8λ0 and 3/8λ0 offset sort standards are used, where λ0 — wave length in waveguide at the mean frequency.
|
In waveguide calibration, one of two offset SHORT standards must be assigned to the open class (see Calibration Standard Class Assignment). Consequently, the GUI will contain an Open button with the label of this short standard. |
