MEASUREMENT ACCURACY

PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION

Error Correction:

Perform software-guided 12 term calibration.

Special Precautions: When performing the procedures in this chapter, observe the following precautions:

￿Minimize vibration and movement of system and attached compo- nents and through-cable.

￿Clean and check pin depth and condition of all adapters, through-cable(s), and calibration components.

￿Pre-shape the through-cable(s) so as to minimize its movement dur- ing calibration and measurement activities.

￿Ensure the system remains motion free in stable environmental conditions as defined above throughout warm-up, calibration, and measurement activities.

The verification procedures described in the following paragraphs verify

ACCURACY

the published measurement accuracy and measurement traceability* for

 

the 373XXA.

Verification Software These procedures use the ANRITSU VNA Verification Software, PN: 2300-237, and the NIST traceable impedance transfer standards con- tained in the appropriate ANRITSU Verification Kit. The Standard Con- ditions and Special Precautions described in paragraph 4-2 should be observed when performing these procedures.

The appropriate ANRITSU Verification Kit to be used for performing these procedures is model dependent, as follows:

￿Models 37317A and below, with Opt 7A: Verification Kit 3667

￿All Models using K Connector test ports: Verification Kit 3668

￿Models 37397A: Verification Kit 3669B

The impedance transfer standards contained in these kits are:

￿20 dB Attenuation Standard

￿50 dB Attenuation Standard

￿50 Ohm Air Line Standard

￿25 Ohm Mismatch (Beatty) Standard

The verification software performs the following functions:

￿It guides the user through a full 12 Term calibration of the 373XXA.

￿It guides the user through the measurement of the S-parameters of the NIST traceable impedance transfer standards (below).

￿It verifies the measured values are within the specified measure- ment uncertainty limits.

￿It indicates the pass/fail status of the measurements on the CRT display. It can also provide a hard copy printout of the measured

Traceability to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
