Normalize

Normalize is used to calibrate a 2-port Insertion Loss measurement (CAT Mode)
and a S21 Transmission measurement (NA Mode). One of these measurements
must be selected before performing a Normalize Cal.
NOTE A Normalization Cal is REQUIRED to make accurate 2-port Transmission or
Insertion Loss measurements.
How to perform a Normalization
 Press Cal 5.

 Connect a short, high-quality, phase stable cable between the FieldFox RF OUT
NOTE All subsequent insertion loss measurements are made relative to the insertion
loss of this cable. For example, if you use a Normalization cable with 1 dB of loss,
then after pressing Normalize, the display will show 0 dB of loss with this cable
in place. Therefore, for highest accuracy, when measuring the DUT also attach
the cable that was used in the normalization cal.
 Press
Calibration for CAT, NA, and VVM Modes
then connect those components to the FieldFox RF Out connector NOW. The
effects of those components will be measured and removed during the
calibration, and only the effects of the DUT will be displayed in the
measurement results. These should be high-quality components!
gender of your DUT port to be measured and press Enter. This will determine
the type and gender of cal kit to use. For example, if a Type-N Male connector
is used on the DUT port to be measured, then the Type-N Male standards
(OPEN, SHORT, AND LOAD) will ALL be connected in place of the DUT during
the calibration.
