Nominal Standard Definitions

Nominal Standard Definitions

Standard definitions provide the constants needed to mathematically model the electrical characteristics (delay, attenuation, and impedance) of each calibration standard. The nominal values of these constants are theoretically derived from the physical dimensions and material of each calibration standard, or from actual measured response. These values are used to determine the measurement uncertainties of the network analyzer. The standard definitions in Table A-3list typical calibration kit parameters used to specify the mathematical model of each device. This information must be loaded into the network analyzer to perform valid calibrations. Refer to your network analyzer’s user’s guide for instructions on loading calibration constants.

NOTE	The values in the standard definitions table are valid only over the specified
	operating temperature range.

Setting the System Impedance

This kit contains only 50 ohm devices. Ensure the system impedance (Z0) is set to 50 ohms. Refer to your network analyzer’s user’s guide for instructions on setting system impedance.
