Calibration using the Agilent 81000BR
Reference Reflector
You can use the agilent 81000BR Reference Reflector to make a
Reflectance Calibration, and a Termination Calibration.
Reflectance Calibration
Use this procedure to calibrate the Return Loss module against a
component of known return loss.
1 Making sure all the connectors are clean, set up the instrument as shown in
Figure 93 if you are using an External Source.
Figure 93 Reflectance Calibration - External Source
or Figure 94 if you are using an internal source
(Agilent 81611A/2A/3A/4A Return Loss modules only).

Tip: For best results and higher repeatability, fix the cable.
2 Attach a component with a known return loss to the end of the patchcord.
Tip: The Agilent 81000BR Back Reflector is such a component, offering a
return loss of 0.18 ± 0.1 dB.
3 Move to the Return Loss channel, then press [Details]
4 Move to [FPDelta], press [Edit], set the value to 0.000, then press [OK].
