Mechanical Cals are extremely accurate when performed using the correct Cal
Kits with standards that are clean and in good repair, and when using correct
connection procedures.
How to perform a Mechanical Cal
 Disconnect the DUT from the FieldFox.
 If a jumper cable or adapter is required to connect the DUT to the FieldFox,
 In NA, CAT, or VVM Mode, press Cal 5 .
 Then
This page summarizes the Mechanical Cal to be performed and allows you to
make changes. For best results, review the screen and make changes in the
following order:
1. S-parameters – Verify that these are all of the S-parameters that you want
2. DUT Connectors – For each DUT port that is shown, verify the correct type
3. Cal Kit - Verify the correct Cal Kit for each DUT port to be calibrated. See a
If the DUT connector type, gender, or Cal Kit is NOT correct for the DUT ports to
be calibrated, then:

then connect those components to the FieldFox connectors. 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!
