Calibrating for Increased Measurement Accuracy
LRM Error Correction
NOTE You should perform the isolation measurement when the highest dynamic
range is desired.
To perform the best isolation measurements, you should reduce the system
bandwidth or activate the averaging function.
A poorly measured isolation class can actually degrade the overall
measurement performance. If you are in doubt of the isolation measurement
quality, you should omit the isolation portion of this procedure.
14.You may repeat any of the previous steps. There is no requirement to go in the order of
steps. When the analyzer detects that you have made all the necessary measurements,
the message line will show PRESS ’DONE’ IF FIN ISH ED WI TH CA L. Press
.
The message COMPUTING CAL COEFFICIENT S will appear , indic ating that the analyze r is
performing the numerical calculations of error coefficients.
NOTE You can save or store the measurement correction to use for later
measurements. Refer to Chapter 4, “Printing, Plotting, and Saving
Measurement Results” for procedures.
15.Connect the device under test. The device S-parameters are now being measured.
NOTE When making measurements using the same port with uncoupled channels,
the power level for each channel must fall within the same power range
setting of that single port. An error message will be displayed if you enter two
power levels that do not fall within the same power range.
