N-Port Calibration with E8363/4C and N5230C

It is recommended that you perform an ECal characterization to minimize the connections
required for multiple port calibration. The N4693A Option M0F is recommended with
cable (85133F) if you are calibrating at the PNA and Test Set ports.
Characterize the ECal module with adapters that will not be used in the measurement of
the DUT. To characterize the ECal module select Response > Cal > More > ECal >
Characterize ECal Module.
Calibrate at the end of the test port RF cables and any adapters that are used to connect
the DUT. This removes the effect on the measurement of the DUT. Failure to do this will
create ripple and other measurement errors. Refer to the PNA Help menu, Ecal >
user-characterization.

If measurement errors occur, ensure the newest version of firmware is
installed on the PNA. Measurement errors can be a result of firmware
algorithms. Consult with Agilent Service or firmware web page for the latest
PNA, PNA-L or PNA-X Option 551 firmware revisions and history.
