one    Turn on the power supply (put the source on the workbench). You need to turn it onfourOne“Line/Power”Button.

two    Connect connectors and additional cables to the network analyzer as required. When using network analyzer cables, be very careful not to bend them too much.

Calibrate network analyzer (only)S11orS22Reflection measurement).

a.    Select the calibration kit according to the type of connector you use.

b.    Set the frequency range. staySTIMULUSControl up pressstart, type the desired starting frequency. Repeat the same procedure for the stop frequency.

c.    Remove the calibration device to clear the desktop. Then press on the onscreen soft key menuMORE, then pressDELETECAL SETFinally, select a number.

d.    Select the calibration type. UsuallyCAL1-7mm, because this is the type of cable connected to the network analyzer.

e.    choiceS11-1Port orS22-1Port (depending on the cable you want to use).

f.     You are prompted to place the calibration standard at the cable terminal. They are in a wooden box.

f1.       Start with the short circuit block (marked). Connect the short circuit block and press the soft keySHORT, when measuring (soon)SHORTUnderlined. Remove the short circuit block, put the plastic cover on the standard and find the open circuit block.

f2.       Open circuit block. It has the same length as the short circuit block, but smaller diameter and has a hole at the end. PressOPEN, wait untilOPENIf it is underlined, remove the open circuit block and put the plastic cover in place.

f3.       Find the load criteria. This is a long, smooth cylinder in the box. Connect it and pressLOAD, pressBROADBAND, press againDONE LOADS。 Assume that our load is accurate over the entire calibration frequency range, so this is a "broadband" standard. Place the plastic cover and return all standards to the box. (note! These standards are small and expensive. If we lose them, we have no other standards.)

f4.       Omit isolation measurements.

       i.     PressSAVE1-port CAL。 Press a number, which is where you want to save the calibration settings. It should answer“Correction ON”。

        ii.     Check the calibration. The worst case is usually an open circuit, so put the open circuit standard again. stayFORMATPress on the menuSMITH CHART。 Should besmithYou can see a small dot on the right side of the figure, but you may also see a short line. Check the short circuit and load in the same way. For short circuits, thesmithSee a point on the left of the figure. For loads, the point should be in the middle. If these are not "clear", redo these calibrations. Factors that may affect the calibration include the tightness of the connection between cables and connectors, between components, and to the network analyzer.

           iii.     If a good calibration result is obtained, put the standard box back into the cabinet.

4b. Calibrate the network analyzer (full two port calibration for reflection and transmission measurements).

a.       Select the calibration kit according to the type of connector you use.

b.       Set the frequency range. staySTIMULUSControl up pressstart, type the desired starting frequency. Repeat the same procedure for the stop frequency.

c.       stayMENUSControl up pressCAL。

i.       choiceTRANSMISSIONSoft key. Use threaded joints (on both sides1/2"Long thread) connecting cableoneAnd cabletwo。 PressfourFor each of the four soft keys, an underline appears below the key. Press againTRANS. DONE。

j.       PressISOLATIONSoft key. choiceOMIT ISOLATIONSoft key. PressISOLATION DONE。

k.       This completes the calibration and the calibration results must be saved. choiceSAVE 2-PORTCAL。 Save the calibration results to the previously deleted location（1-8）(it doesn't matter which one to use. You can use several locations at the same time when conducting different tests in different frequency ranges). Network analyzer should now say“CorrectionON”。

l.       Check the calibration. The worst case is usually an open circuit, so put the open circuit standard again. stayFORMATPress on the menuSMITH CHART。 Should besmithYou can see a small dot on the right side of the figure, but you may also see a short line.
