U3042AE12 Controlling the Test Set with N5230A
N-Port Calibration with N5230A
It is recommended that you perform an ECal characterization to minimize the connections
required for multiple port calibration. The N4691B Option M0F is recommended with
cable (85131F) if you are calibrating at the PNA and test set ports. Characterize the ECal
module with adapters that will not be used in the measurement of the DUT.
Calibrate at the end of the test port RF cables and any adapters that are used to connect
the DUT. This removes the effect on the measurement of the DUT. Failure to do this will
create ripple and other measurement errors. If measurement errors occur, ensure the
newest version of firmware is installed on the PNA.
Consult with Agilent Service or the firmware web page for the latest PNA, PNA-L or
PNA-X Option 551 firmware revisions and history.

Figure 22 ECal Characterization
1. On the network analyzer select Calibration > Calibration Wizard.
a. If using a mechanical cal kit, select SmartCal.
b. If using an ECal module, select ECal.
2. Continue following the Cal Wizard prompts. On the “Select Calibration Ports and ECal
Module” window, press Select All or select the ports you are calibrating and press Next.
