Specifications

This soft-key set lets you select the number of fre
-
quency points at which calibration data is to be
taken. The choices: NORMAL: Data is taken at up to
1601 equally spaced frequencies across the calibra
-
tion frequency range. C.W.: Data is taken at one
point. N-DISCRETE FREQUENCIES (2 TO 1601
POINTS): This selection lets you specify a discrete
number of frequency points, from 2 to 1601. TIME
DOMAIN (HARMONIC): This selection is the cali
-
bration mode for low-pass time-domain or for Har
-
monic processing. It lets you select frequencies at in
-
teger (harmonic) multiples of the start frequency.
Step 8.
Press START, then enter 10 MHz, using either the
rotary knob or keypad and terminator keys.
Step 9.
Press STOP, then enter 3 GHz (MS4622X) or 6 GHz
(MS4623X), using either the rotary knob or keypad
and terminator keys.
The above 2 steps let you set your start and stop fre-
quencies. For this example, press START, press 10 on
keypad, and hit the M/ms/cm terminator key. Perform
like operations for STOP, except make entry read 3
GHz or 6 GHz.
Step 10.
Press NEXT CAL STEP.
Step 11.
Press LRL/LRM PARAMETER.
Step 12. Press the applicable reference plane soft key:
MIDDLE OF LINE 1 (REF) or ENDS OF LINE 1
(REF).
Step 13.
Press ONE BAND for a two-line calibration (Step
15), or TWO BANDS (Step 16) for a three-line cali
-
bration.
As mentioned earlier, in a two-line measurement, the
difference in length between line 1 and line 2 is nec
-
essary for calibration but limits the frequency range
to a 9:1 span. By using three lines in the calibration,
you extend the frequency range to an 81:1 span.
Step 14.
Press NEXT CAL STEP.
Step 15.
If ONE BAND was chosen in Step 13, perform the
following:
a.
Press DEVICE 1 LINE 1 (REF) and enter the
value.
