Calibration Choices

To choose the appropriate calibration method suited to your type of
measurement, follow these steps:
1. Set up the analyzer for your measurement:
• Select
MEAS 1
• Enter operating parameters other than the default.
2. When performing some user-defined calibrations, you must select a
calibration kit to match the port(s) at your calibration reference
plane. A user two-port calibration requires you to select a calibration
kit for each port. One-port calibrations, such as user one-port, and
enhanced response, require you to select a calibration kit for only one
port. Refer to "The Calibration Reference Plane" on page 6-7
"Calibration Kits" on page
3. Press the

also a discussion of a type of calibration called normalization.
