MS4642B – 12-Term – 36585K K AutoCal

MS4642B 20 GHz Model, with 12-term Calibration, using the 36585K K Automatic Calibrator (AutoCal)

MS4642B Measurement Uncertainties

The graphs give measurement uncertainties after the above calibration. The errors are a worst-case contribution of residual directivity, load and

source match, frequency response and isolation, network analyzer dynamic accuracy, and connector repeatability. 10 Hz IF Bandwidth is used. For

transmission uncertainties, it is assumed that S

21

= S

12

= 0. For reflection uncertainties, it is assumed that S

11

= S

22

= 0. All calibrations and

measurements were performed at 0 dBm or default port power, whichever is less. For other conditions, please use our free Exact Uncertainty

Calculator software, available for download from the Anritsu web site at www.anritsu.com.

(dB)

a. Since Residual Load Match is limited by Residual Directivity and the user test port cable, it can only be specified as Residual Directivity. For

practical considerations, derate it by approximately 8 dB for a 3670 series test port cable, to compensate for effects such as match,

repeatability, bend radius, and similar parameters.
