The exact composition of the menu depends on the settings made on the CAL SETUP, CAL METHOD, and LINE TYPE menus and on the resultant TRANSMISSION FREQUENCY REPONSE CAL SETUP dialog box. A representative menu is shown below. There is one example procedure of a TRANS. RESPONSE calibration in this chapter.

 

 

 

 

Allows selection of any combination of the test port throughs for the available port pairs:

A Thru Info button becomes available for each port pair through selected above. Select displays the THRU INFO configuration dialog box for the selected port pair. A calculator icon in the THRU INFO dialog box allows access to the AIR EQUIVALENT LENGTH CALCULATOR dialog box.

Input the reference impedance.

Click OK to accept the changes and return to the CAL SETUP menu.

Click Cancel to abandon any changes and return to the CAL SETUP menu.

 

 

Input the reference impedance.

Select the Waveguide Kit Type from a drop-down menu list with options of:

Select displays the USER DEFINED WAVEGUIDE (SSST) parameters dialog box. The dialog box allows user input of waveguide calibration parameters of:

The dialog box contents depend on the selected connector, calibration method, and line type. The example in the link below shows a typical standard information dialog box.

Click OK to accept the changes and return to the CAL SETUP menu.

Click Cancel to abandon any changes and return to the CAL SETUP menu.

 

 

 

Input the reference impedance.

Allows selection of any combination of Test Port 1, Test Port 2, Test Port 3, or Test Port 4 as long as one port is selected.

If a port is not selected, its buttons and controls are not available.

Select from Offset Short 1, Offset Short 2, or Offset Short 3

Select the DUT Connector Type from a drop-down menu list with options of:

Select displays the USER DEFINED OFFSET SHORT INFO dialog box with connector calibration coefficients for the selected connector and calibration method. The dialog box contents depend on the selected connector, calibration method, and line type. See the following links for typical examples:

Select the DUT Connector Type from a drop-down menu list as shown above in Test Port 1.

Select displays the USER DEFINED SHORT INFO dialog box with connector calibration coefficients for the selected connector and calibration method as described above in Test Port 1.

Click OK to accept the changes and return to the CAL SETUP menu.

Click Cancel to abandon any changes and return to the CAL SETUP menu.

 

 

The table below summarizes the fields and controls in all transmission frequency response calibration setup dialog boxes. If the dialog box is described in greater detail above, a link is provided to that description. To view each dialog box, set the CAL METHOD and LINE TYPE menus to the appropriate settings, and then select the Edit Cal Params button. All transmission frequency response dialog boxes are named “Transmission Frequency Response Cal Setup (Cal Method, Line Type)”
