System Verification and Performance Tests
Introduction
Introduction
There are two ways to confirm that the analyzer is able to make
measurements as specified. Both ways are described in this section.
The first method is the system verification procedure. With system
verification, the performance of the analyzer is confirmed as a complete
measurement system. The analyzer is used to measure the traceable
behavior of test devices that are part of a verification kit. All of the
measurement uncertainties of the analyzer, taken as a measurement
system, have been accounted for in the serialized data disk shipped with
the verification kit.
The second method to confirm the specified performance of the analyzer
is by using the series of performance tests described in this chapter.
Successful completion of an individual test confirms the specified
performance of the specific subsystem tested, such as the source or
receiver. Successful completion of the whole series of performance tests
confirms the specified performance of the analyzer as a complete
measurement system.
Key sequences for setting up the analyzer use standard Hardkey (initial
capital letters) and SOFTKEY (all capital letters) conventions. For a
complete definition of the different keys, refer to your analyzer’s
standard documentation.
For a complete description of the verification and performance test
process, refer to the standard 8753ET/ES Network Analyzers Service
Guide (part number 08753-90484).
