Reference Plane

The reference planes of a calibration (or other normalization) can be changed by entering a line length. Assumes no loss, flat magnitude,

linear phase, and constant impedance.

 

Auto Reference Plane Extension

Instead of manually entering a line length, this feature automatically adjusts phase shift from the current calibration (or other normalization) to

compensate for external cables (or test fixtures). Assumes no loss, flat magnitude, linear phase, and constant impedance.

 

Frequency Range

Frequency range of the measurement can be narrowed within the calibration range without recalibration.

 

Defined as the frequency span over which the phase change is computed at a given frequency point. The aperture can be changed without

Group Delay Aperture

recalibration. The minimum aperture is the frequency range divided by the number of points in calibration and can be increased to 20% of the

 

frequency range.

Group Delay Range

< 180º of phase change within the aperture

 

 

Trace Memory

A separate memory for each trace can be used to store measurement data for later display. The trace data can be saved and recalled.
