Calibration Using 4-Port Ecal; Operational Procedure - Agilent Technologies ENA Series User Manual

Calibration Using 4-port ECal

The E5070B/E5071B allows you to perform calibration using the 4-port ECal module. It
provides much simpler operation than when using the 2-port ECal. Especially when using a
multi-port test set, calibration time and operator errors can be reduced significantly.

Operational procedure

To execute full 2-port calibration using the 4-port ECal module, follow these steps.
Step 1. Connect the USB cable between the USB port of the 4-port ECal module and the USB port
of the E5070B/E5071B. You can make this connection while the E5070B/E5071B's power
is on.
Step 2. Connect the ports of the 4-port ECal module to the test ports you want to calibrate.

NOTE
You can connect the ports of the ECal and the test ports of the E5070B/E5071B
arbitrarily.Connected ports can be manually specified although they are automatically
detected before data measurement. For more information, "Turning off ECal auto-detect
function" on page 131.
NOTE If you don't use all of the ECal module's ports, connect terminations to the unused ports.
