Test Set Cal This portion occurs during the calibration when measuring through standards for a transmission measurement S5 or 5 or measurements using 2 port calibration Suppose that you have a 6 port DUT and that you have selected the ports 1 to 6 to calibrate on your test set A traditional network analyzer calibration would require in addition to connecting opens shorts and loads to all connectors that you connect a through standard between every possible pairing of the 6 test set ports in order to measure all possible transmission paths This would mean 15 different connections of through standards each needing its own separate calibration file The Test Set Cal simplifies this process by only requiring a through standard connection between 3 adjacent port pairs of the 6 test set ports Port 1 to Port 2 Port 3 to Port 4 Port 5 to Port 6 The analyzer calculates the remainder of the test set port combinations and saves the data as only one calibration file The test set calibration can be done in any combination of the adjacent port pairs 1 2 and 5 6 for example This results in significant calibration time savings which improves your measurement throughput Performing the Test Set Cal with a Mechanical Calibration Kit This section describes how to perform the Test Set Cal with a mechanical calibration kit Press Channel Next or Channel Prev to select the channel for which you want to execute multi port test se
