Calibration and
Frequency Ranges
The 8510XF requires separate verifications for frequencies below and above
50 GHz (see on “Frequency ranges” on page 4-4).
A special two-band calibration procedure is required for the performance
verification of the 8510XF system (a measurement calibration is not
sufficient). There are up to three different calibrations and corresponding
frequency ranges required, which are stored in suggested locations in the
8510 analyzer (Refer to Table 4-1 on page 4-3). For more information refer
to the section on “Frequency ranges” on page 4-4. The parameters for these
calibrations are set up automatically on the analyzer by the performance
verification software.
