FieldFox RF Vector Network Analyzer

(continued)

Description

Information

2-port calibration
(with option 122)

Full 12-term error correction. Corrects for directivity, source match,
reflection frequency response, load match, and transmission frequency
response for an N9923A with option 122, full two-port S-parameters.
Unknown thru and QSOLT are both available.

1-port QuickCal
(with option 112)

Corrects for directivity, frequency response, and source match errors, using
internal and external standards. QuickCal is most accurate for DUTs with
7/16 and Type-N connectors and measurement uncertainties are provided
for frequencies ≤ 6 GHz. Reduced accuracy for DUTs with 3.5 mm (m), SMA
(m), or other male coaxial connectors; performance is unspecified. QuickCal
is not recommended for DUTs with 3.5 mm (f), SMA (f), or other similar
female connectors. QuickCal is not applicable to waveguide.

2-port QuickCal
(with option 112 and 122)

Full 12-term error correction. Corrects for directivity, source match,
reflection frequency response, load match, and transmission frequency
response. QuickCal is most accurate for DUTs with 7/16 and Type-N
connectors and measurement uncertainties are provided for frequencies
≤ 6 GHz. Reduced accuracy for DUTs with 3.5 mm (m), SMA (m), or other
male coaxial connectors; performance is unspecified. QuickCal is not
recommended for DUTs with 3.5 mm (f), SMA (f), or other similar female
connectors. QuickCal is not applicable to waveguide.

Guided calibration wizard

FieldFox’s calibration wizard recommends a calibration type and calibration
kit based on selected parameters and connector types. Alternatively, users
can select their own calibration type and calibration kit.

Interpolated error correction

With any type of accuracy enhancement applied, interpolated mode
recalculates the error coefficients when the test frequencies are changed.
The number of points can be increased or decreased and the start/stop
frequencies can be changed, but the resulting frequency span must be a
subset of the original calibration frequency span.
