Page 6: Single Freq
SINGLE FREQ In this mode, T100 can display the measured data in any of the following four represen- tations. You may switch cyclically through these representations with the MODE key. •SWR •IMPEDANCE (SERIAL) •IMPEDANCE (PARALLEL) •S11 (RECTANGULAR & POLAR) SWR displays the... -
Page 7: Impedance (Parallel)
IMPEDANCE (PARALLEL) IMPEDANCE displays the impedance FREQ:435025 seen from the test port. The impedance 240.10 - j194.53 is resolved into the real (resistive) part 1.88pF and imaginary (reac- PARALLEL tive) part connected in parallel. The cor- responding inductance or capacitance is also displayed according to the sign of the reac- tance. -
Page 8: Sweep Freq Plot
SWEEP FREQ PLOT Under this menu, T100 can plot any of the fol- lowing measured data over the desired frequen- cy range: •SWR •IMPEDANCE •RESISTANCE •REACTANCE •RETURN LOSS (S11) •PHASE ANGLE Use the MODE key to switch cyclically between any of the following parameters to change their value. - Page 9 Open/Short/Load (OSL) cali- bration method to eliminate various system errors. To perform accurate measurements, T100 needs to be calibrated against the OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD standards. Three high qual- ity OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD SMA terminators are included for this purpose.
