Test Considerations
For optimum performance, all procedures should comply with the
following recommendations:
• Assure that the calibration ambient temperature is stable and
between 18 °C and 28 °C. Ideally, the calibration should be performed
at 23 °C
±1 °C.
• Assure ambient relative humidity is less than 80%.
• Allow a 1-hour warm-up period before verification or adjustment.
• Keep the measurement cables as short as possible, consistent with
the impedance requirements.
• Use only RG-58 or equivalent 50
Ω cable.
