Calibration Types
This is a very thorough calibration, which takes measurements of reflection,
transmission, and isolation for both ports. This type of calibration (when
performed using the 1.0 mm calibration kit) combines the SOLT calibration
technique (for frequencies up to 50 GHz) with the Offset Shorts calibration
technique (for frequencies above 50 GHz). This combination yields the best
possible calibration results, for measurement over the full frequency range
of the 8510XF.
For this calibration, select:
or
[CAL] {CAL1 CAL2} {FULL 2-PORT}

These are the same standards that are used for the S11
{REFLECT'N}
and S22 1-port calibrations, except that in this case both
ports are calibrated. The reflection standards are sorted
into three categories:
•
