Receiver Adjustment

The receiver calibration is used to adjust the network analyzer receivers for a flat response across its full
frequency range:
1. A power meter/sensor is connected to Port 1, as shown in
flatness.
2. A cable is inserted between the power sensor and the test port, as shown in
reference for the cable.
3. The same cable is connected between test port 1 and test port 2, as shown in
from Port 1 is used to adjust the "B" receiver at Port 2.
The adjustment is repeated using a signal from Port 2 to adjust the "A" receiver at Port 1.
Data obtained during this adjustment are stored in the mxcalfile_pxx files in flash memory on the test set
motherboard, with a backup copy stored on the hard disk drive. The data are used in subsequent
measurements.
Solid state drives can be swapped or replaced without concern for the mxcalfile_pxx files. If the test set
motherboard is replaced, the PNA firmware will automatically create new primary mxcalfile_pxx files from
the backup copies on the hard drive.
These files can be recreated by performing another receiver calibration adjustment.
