2.1.3 Instrument Calibration
The analyzer provides a wide range of sophisticated calibration methods for all types of
measurements. Which calibration method is selected depends on the expected system
errors, the accuracy requirements of the measurement, on the test setup and on the
types of calibration standards available.
In the following we assume that the calibration kit R&S ZV-Z21 contains an appropriate
male short standard with known physical properties. With a single short standard, it is
possible to perform a normalization, compensating for a frequency-dependent attenua-
tion and phase shift in the signal path.
Due to the analyzer's calibration wizard, calibration is a straightforward, menu-guided
process.
1. Unscrew the DUT and connect the male short standard from calibration kit R&S
ZV-Z21.
2. In the CHANNEL keypad, press CAL to open the calibration menu.
3. Activate "Start Cal – One Port P1 – Normalization (Short)" to open the calibration
wizard for the selected calibration type.
