Agilent Technologies FieldFox N9913A User Manual page 70

Definitions:
Non-insertable DUT – A device whose
connectors could NOT mate together.
They either do not have the same type of
connector or they have the same gender.
This also means that the test port cables
could NOT mate together as in the above
diagram.
Defined THRU – A THRU standard for which there is a Cal Kit definition such as
in the 8551xA Cal Kits.
Flush THRU – When the test port cables mate together when measuring an
Insertable DUT. Flush THRU is also a Defined THRU with a definition of zero
loss and zero length.
Sweep Directions – Both FULL 2-Port Cals listed below result in correction that
requires background measurements sweeps in both directions, regardless of the
displayed measurements. The displayed traces are updated at a slower rate than
Enhanced Response and 1-port calibrations, which require sweeps in one
direction only.
1-Port (OSL)
DUT: Not Applicable
S-parameters Corrected: S11 or S22
Standards: OPEN, SHORT, LOAD
Sweeps in ONE direction.
FULL 2-Port (May require an option).
Most comprehensive calibration. Corrects all S-parameters.
DUT: Non-Insertable or Insertable
Standards: OPEN, SHORT, LOAD on BOTH ports. Any THRU between ports.
For more information on the Unknown Thru process, see the FieldFox
Supplemental Online Help:
Sweeps in BOTH directions.
FULL 2-Port (QSOLT) – Mechanical Cal ONLY (May require an option).
Quicker to perform than Full 2-port. Corrects all S-parameters.
DUT: Insertable only
Standards: OPEN, SHORT, LOAD on port 1. Flush THRU between ports.
Sweeps in BOTH directions.

Insertable DUT – A device whose
connectors could mate together. They have
the same type of connector and opposite or
no gender. This also means that the test
port cables could mate together, as in the
above diagram.
