Measurement Procedure

This is a general measurement procedure that is used throughout the guide to illustrate
the use of the analyzer.
Step 1. Choose measurement parameters with your test device
connected
• Press the
Preset
• Connect your device under test (DUT) to the analyzer.
Damage may result to the DUT if it is sensitive to the analyzer's default
CAUTION
output power level. To avoid damaging a sensitive DUT, be sure to set the
analyzer's output power to an appropriate level before connecting the DUT to
the analyzer.
• Choose the settings that are appropriate for the intended measurement.
measurement type (S
frequencies

power
measurement trace format
• Make adjustments to the parameters while you are viewing the device response.

Step 2. Make a measurement calibration

Press the key to begin to perform a measurement calibration using a known set of
Cal
standards (a calibration kit). Error-correction establishes a magnitude and phase
reference for the test setup and reduces systematic measurement errors.

Step 3. Measure the device

• Reconnect the device under test.
• Use the markers to identify various device response values if desired.

Step 4. Output measurement results

• Store the measurement file to a disk.
• Generate a hardcopy with a printer or plotter.
