Calibration For Four-Terminal Pair, 2-M Extension - Keysight E4990A Help Manual

E4990A Help
with the four-terminal pair configuration, neither user
calibration nor port extension compensation is required for
measurement (they cannot be performed).
Fixture Compensation When the 16451B/16334A is Used
When you perform only the fixture OPEN compensation and fixture SHORT
compensation, follow the normal fixture compensation procedures
described in Fixture
If you perform the LOAD compensation in addition to the OPEN and SHORT
compensations, set the standard values as described below in accordance
with the procedures in
Compensation.
For the 16334A over 3 MHz measurement, the load compensation is
recommended according to the following procedure. The proportional error
factor in the additional error caused by the fixture is in proportion to the
frequency squared. Therefore, the error increases greatly as the frequency
goes high.
1. Set the 100 Ω SMD resistor on the direct connection type fixture (like
16034G), and perform measurement at 3 MHz to determine the
value of the 100 Ω SMD resistor.
2. Set the measured
as load value.
3. Perform load compensation of the 16334A.
For 16451B, see the table of load value in 2.4.5 Operation Method of
