Swept mm-wave Measurement with Arbitrary Correction Frequencies,
Example 3
The fo cus of this example is to use user atness correction to obtain
at p ower at the output of the HP/Agilent 83550 series mm-wave
source mo dules. In this case we will use non-sequential correction
frequencies in a swept 26.5 to 40 GHz measurement with an
HP/Agilent 83554 source mo dule.
The time it takes for a large quantity of power meter measurements
can be long, therefore, we selected non-sequential correction
frequencies to target sp ecic p oints or sections of the measurement
range that we assume are more sensitive to p ower variations.
This greatly expedites setting up the user atness correction
table. The amountof interp olated correction p oints b etween
non-sequential correction frequencies varies. This example uses the
HP/Agilent 437B to automatically enter correction data into the
array.
Note
Turn o the swept signal generator before connecting to the source
mo dule interface (SMI) cable, or damage may result.
