Replacing the 8753ES with the E5070B/E5071B
Important Functional Differences

Calibration

The types of calibration kits supported by the 8753ES and E5070B/E5071B are shown in
Table F-3.

Others
The 8753ES allows only one type of user-defined calibration kit to be saved in the internal
memory. Up to 15 classes can be set up when defining calibration kits, including 12 classes
(isolation included) to be used for full 2-port calibration and three calibration classes
(THRU, reflect, and line/match for TRL*/LRM* calibration. A maximum of seven
standards can be defined for each calibration class.
In contrast, the E5070B/E5071B allows 20 types of user-defined calibration kits to be
saved in the internal memory, which include the ten calibration kits registrated beforehand.
When setting up calibration classes, OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD can be set up on each port
and THRU between ports. Eight standards are allowed for each calibration class.
ECal
Both the 8753ES and E5070B/E5071B support ECal measurement. However, each
supports slightly different functions. The 8753ES supports enhanced response calibration,
1-port calibration for S11 and S22, and full 2-port calibration. The E5070B/E5071B
provides multi-port calibrations including enhanced response calibration, 1-port calibration
for S11 and S22, full 2-port calibration, full 3-port calibration (with option
313/314/413/414) and full 4-port calibration (with option 413/414).
While the 8753ES allows a frequency array or module information to be read, but this
function is not supported on the E5070B/E5071B.
