How to perform O,S,L Cal
Before performing an O,S,L Cal, set the Measurement type, Frequency Range, Power
Level, and Resolution of the measurement. The calibration will remain highly
accurate until these settings change, or the physical connection to the FieldFox
changes.
 Disconnect the DUT from the FieldFox.
 If a jumper cable or adapter is required to connect the DUT to the FieldFox, then
 In CAT or NA Mode, press Cal 5.
 Then (if necessary) press

 Then using the ▲|▼ arrows or the rotary knob, select the connector type and
 If there is more than one Cal Kit for the selected connector type, press
NOTE Calibration kit definitions are unique to each connector type and connector sex. They
must be correctly applied to obtain the most accurate calibration.
 Then press
 Press Open, Short, and

Normalize

Normalize is used to calibrate a 2-port Insertion Loss measurement (CAT Mode) and
a S21 Transmission measurement (NA Mode). One of these measurements must be
selected before performing a Normalize Cal.
NOTE A Normalization Cal is REQUIRED to make accurate 2-port Transmission or Insertion
Loss measurements.
