Alternative 1.0 mm Calibrations
Alternative 1.0 mm Calibrations
NOTE The two calibration techniques described here are simplified broadband
calibrations, which save time at the expense of accuracy. These calibrations
are meant to be used only in situations where measurement accuracy is not
critical.
Broadband Standards The broadband calibrations use a separate set of calibration standard
definitions, which are included on the calibration data disk that is supplied
with the 1.0 mm calibration kit (85059A).
Loading the broadband standards
1. Insert the calibration data disk into the 8510C disk drive.
2. Press
[DISC] {LOAD}.
The analyzer displays
SELECT DATA TYPE TO LOAD.
3. Select
{CAL KIT 1} or {CAL KIT 2}.
The analyzer displays
USE KNOB OR STEP KEYS TO SELECT A FILE.
4. Select
CK_1MMA1B from the display menu. (This is the file that contains
the broadband standards.)
5. Select
{LOAD FILE}. This loads the calibration constants into the memory
of the network analyzer. A screen message indicates when the load
process is complete (
FILE ‘CK_1MMA1B’ LOADED FROM DISK).
6. Remove the disk from the drive.
