Notes on the Standards
These standards are used to measure reflection for:
•
S11 1-Port calibrations
•
S22 1-Port calibrations
•
One-Path 2-Port calibrations
•
Full 2-Port calibrations
When you perform any of these calibrations using a 1.0 mm calibration kit,
you will see the following menu:

Refers to either of two 50 GHz loads (with male and
{50GHz LOAD}
female connectors, as appropriate). This standard is used
for frequencies up to 50 GHz.
Refers to Short No. 4 with a male connector (that is, the
{(F) SHORT4}
short is to be connected to a female port). This standard is
used for frequencies from 50 to 75 GHz.
Refers to Short No. 2 with a male connector (that is, the
{(F) SHORT2}
short is to be connected to a female port). This standard is
used for frequencies above 75 GHz.
Refers to Short No. 4 with a female connector (that is, the
{(M) SHORT4}
open is to be connected to a male port). This standard is
used for frequencies from 50 to 75 GHz.
Refers to Short No. 2 with a female connector (that is, the
{(M) SHORT2}
short is to be connected to a male port). This standard is
used for frequencies above 75 GHz.
