The menus in this section are example menus for the calibration step procedures. The exact content and presence of each menu is dependent on the settings for each calibration run.
REFL. DEVICE(S) Menu - 4-Port VNAs
Full Name
• REFLECTIVE DEVICE(S) Menu
Typical Configuration
This menu example is a representative menu based on the following configuration:
• VNA is in 4-port mode
• A 4-port calibration
• A SOLT/SOLR calibration method
• A coaxial line type
• A V (f) Connector
Using a different configuration set can change the appearance of the REFL. DEVICE(S) menu.
Previous
• The previous menu can be any of the following manual calibration menus and their associated configuration dialog boxes.
• The REFL. DEVICE(S) Port 1 menu is nearly identical to typical REFL. DEVICE(S) Port 2, REFL. DEVICE(S) Port 3, and REFL. DEVICE(S) Port 4 menus.
