Configure Internal Channel Correction
The following is a basic configuration for using the MXG’s internal channel correction. Refer to Figure
5- 16.
On the MXG:
1. Set the center frequency:
Press Freq > 3 > GHz
2. Set the I/Q to internal (default):
Press I/Q > I/Q Source > Internal
3. Press I/Q to On
4. Perform internal channel correction:
Press More > Int Channel Correction > Execute Cal
5. Press Int Channel Correction to On
SCPI Commands:
[:SOURce]:DM:INTernal:CHANnel:CORRection[:STATe] ON|OFF|1|0
[:SOURce]:DM:INTernal:CHANnel:CORRection[:STATe]?
:CALibration:BBG:CHANnel
For details on each key, use key help as
described on page 42.
This softkey is only available, if
the internal channel correction
has been previously executed.
Enables and disables the current
RF and baseband magnitude and
phase corrections across the 100
MHz baseband bandwidth at the
current frequency.
Caution: When this feature is
enabled, arbitrary frequency
switching while the baseband is
on will require an additional
290 ms (72 ms typical) the first
time that frequency is specified.
After the first time that a
frequency is selected, switching
to that frequency again takes an
additional 1 ms.
