Calibration Choices

To choose the appropriate calibration method suited to your type of
measurement, follow these steps:
1. Set up the analyzer for your measurement:
• Select
MEAS 1
• Enter operating parameters other than the default.
2. When performing a one-port reflection calibration or an enhanced
response calibration, you must select a calibration kit to match the
port at your calibration reference plane. Refer to
Reference Plane" on page 6-5
3. Press the
CAL

See Table 6-1 and Figure 6-4

called normalization.
