3 Test Set Cal and SelfCal 29
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Introduction Introduction This chapter presents information on the following topics: • Test Set Cal: An Overview • Test Set Cal and SelfCal: Theory of Operation Measurement calibration is a process that improves measurement accuracy by using error correction arrays to remove systematic measurement errors.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Introduction SelfCal A SelfCal is an automated internal system calibration that should be performed on a regular, frequent basis. If the operating temperature of the analyzer and test set is within the specified range (refer to Chapter 8), the recommended time interval is about once an hour. A SelfCal does not require removal of the DUT or external connections of calibration standards.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview Test Set Cal: An Overview To perform a Test Set Cal the following steps are required and are explained in detail in this section: 1. Set up measurement parameters, such as frequency range, power level, number of measurements points, etc. 2. Determine the best position for the calibration reference plane. 3. Determine the type of calibration kit you will need to match the connectors at your calibration reference plane. 4.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview The analyzer will interpolate between calibrated measurement points when the frequency span is narrowed. However, you should be aware that best measurement accuracy is compromised with this interpolation. Figure 3-1 Frequency Range Example NOTE It is recommended that you set your stop frequency to 1300 MHz. The performance of the test set is not specified above 1300 MHz.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview Other Parameters to Consider The following parameters, if changed after calibrating, will not invalidate the calibration, but will cause the “C?” notation to appear at the status bar of the display: • Sweep time • Number of points • Power level • IF bandwidth The “C?” notation indicates that a measurement parameter has changed after a calibration was performed. For best accuracy, avoid measurements which cause the “C?” notation to appear.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview Figure 3-2 The Calibration Reference Plane Chapter 3 35
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview CAUTION Although the Test Set Cal can calibrate out the effects of your external hardware, the drift-removing features of the SelfCal cannot remove drift associated with any external fixtures or cabling. See Figure 3-4. Be sure that all external fixtures and cables are extremely stable. Agilent recommends the use of semi-rigid cabling external to your multiport test set. Design fixturing such that movement of all cables and connectors is minimized.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview Determine the Test Set Ports to Be Used To save time, calibrate the lowest number of ports necessary for your test setup. For example, if your test setup requires the use of only 6 of the available twelve ports, calibrate for 6 ports; there is no need to spend the time to calibrate all twelve ports. The selection of the number of ports is necessary, in part, in order to perform the minimum-through portion of the Test Set Cal.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview Step 3. Press Test Set Cal. Step 4. Press Calibration. NOTE If Calibration is disabled, the status of the multi-port test set of this channel may be off. See "Procedure of setting ports for the multi-port test set" in the previous chapter. Step 5. Press Port x-y (a port pair for which you want to execute calibration). NOTE The multi-port test set calibration is performed for each port pair.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview Step 10. Connect the short standard to the Port y side and press Port y Short to measure calibration data. Step 11. Connect the load standard to the Port y side and press Port y Load to measure calibration data. Step 12. Connect the thru standard between ports x and y side and press Portx- y Thru to measure calibration data. Step 13. Press Return to return to the port selection menu. Step 14. Repeat Step 5 through Step 13 for necessary port pairs.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview Calibrating: Insertable Port Pairs versus Noninsertable Port Pairs During the through portion of the calibration, if an adjacent port pair (for example, 1-to-2, 3-to-4, 5-to-6, etc.) can be connected directly without using a cable or an adapter, the port pair is insertable. If an adjacent port pair can only be connected by using a through cable or an adapter, the port pair is noninsertable.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview Step 6. Connect the ECal module between ports x and y and press ECal to measure calibration data and calculate the calibration coefficients. Step 7. Repeat Step 5 and Step 6 for necessary port pairs.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview NOTE A 2-port type ECal module is assumed in the above procedure. For a 4-port ECal module, in case of S-parameter test set, you can connect any two of the 4 ports when connecting the ECal module in Step 6. In case of transmission/reflection test set, one of the connections listed in the table must be used.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview Step 2. Press [Save/Recall]. Step 3. Press Recall State, then the softkey corresponding to the register from which you want to recall the instrument state. Copying the Test Set Cal. The E5061A/62A lets you temporarily save Test Set calibration data only for each channel and copy it to another channel.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal: An Overview NOTE Self Cal is set for each measurement channel and executed for a port pair selected for the channel. NOTE SelfCals are not automatically initiated on currently unused ports. A port is never automatically calibrated unless it is selected— even if the time interval has been exceeded. NOTE SelfCals are initiated only when a trigger source is internal and a trigger mode is continuous. Step 1. Press [Cal]. Step 2. Press Test Set Cal. Step 3.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal and SelfCal: Theory of Operation Test Set Cal and SelfCal: Theory of Operation Adding a multiport test set to the analyzer degrades raw performance of the test system as well as introduces drift. Test Set Cal provides the vector error correction that allows the system to achieve good performance. A Test Set Cal is a calibration that is performed on a regular, but infrequent basis.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal and SelfCal: Theory of Operation Figure 3-3 Internal Transfer Standards A SelfCal is an automatic measurement of the test set internal standards that allows the system to remove system drift that occurs due to environmental changes such as temperature. SelfCal allows the multiport system to recalibrate itself without having to disconnect the DUT or connect any additional external standards or cables to the system. A SelfCal can be initiated manually.
Test Set Cal and SelfCal Test Set Cal and SelfCal: Theory of Operation Drift can be minimized by controlling the environmental temperature and humidity, and by using high quality connectors, semi-rigid cables, and fixturing that reduces cable movement to a minimum.

Service Manual Performance Tests Manual Performance Tests There are no manual Performance Verification Tests for this instrument. It is not necessary to manually perform the Performance Verification Tests since they are available in an VBA program that is included with the performance test software. See “Performance Verification Test Results” for more information on each Performance Verification Test.
Service Adjustments Adjustments There are no adjustments for this instrument. Any drift in components can be compensated for with the SelfCal feature. Any failure will require the replacement of an assembly.
Service Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Refer to Chapter 1, “Introduction and Installation,” to make sure the test set is connected properly to the analyzer and that the analyzer has been configured for use with the multiport test set. Troubleshooting consists of isolating the cause of any problem to an individual assembly.
Service Troubleshooting If the power supply voltage is measured while the cable is disconnected from the main board assembly, the +5 volt supply may not function. It requires a load of at least 0.5 amps to operate properly. This can be simulated with any 10 ohm, 5 watt resistor. The LEDs on the main board assembly indicate that power is being received. The fan operates from +12 volts and has its own regulator derived from the +15 volt supply.
