Calibration Method Summary
O,S,L is ALWAYS the most accurate Cal method. The quality of an O,S,L Cal is
QuickCal is ideal for DTF measurements. QuickCal should be performed when
Preset Cal is ONLY useful for DUT connections made at the RF Out port and
For highest accuracy, a new QuickCal or O,S,L Cal should be performed:
Calibration for CAT, NA, and VVM Modes
completely dependent on the quality of the OPEN, SHORT, LOAD standards.
Use high quality standards to ensure the most accurate calibration.
good accuracy is required and when using a jumper cable or adapter.
During QuickCal, do NOT „Skip Load‟ when measuring a DUT with good
