Calibrating for Noninsertable Devices

A test device that cannot be connected directly into a transmission test configuration is
considered to be noninsertable.
Some examples of noninsertable test devices are:
• a fixture with two female SMA connectors, or a cable with two male type-N connectors.
• an adapter with SMA male and type-N female (or any combination connector type and
sex).
Therefore, one of the following calibration methods must be performed:
• adapter removal (ES analyzers only)
• matched adapters
• modify the cal kit thru definition
