Nominal Standard Definitions; Setting The System Impedance - Agilent Technologies 85056A User's And Service Manual

Nominal Standard Definitions

Standard definitions provide the definitions needed to mathematically model the electrical
characteristics (delay, attenuation, and impedance) of each calibration standard. The
nominal values of these definitions are theoretically derived from the physical dimensions
and material of each calibration standard, or from actual measured response. These values
are used to determine the measurement uncertainties of the network analyzer. The
standard definitions in
to specify the mathematical model of each device. This information must be loaded into the
network analyzer to perform valid calibrations. Refer to your network analyzer user's
documentation for instructions on loading calibration definitions.
NOTE The values in the standard definitions table are valid only over the specified
operating temperature range.

Setting the System Impedance
