Dut Connection Terminal Used As Calibration Reference Plane - Agilent Technologies Twelfth 4287A RF LCR Operation Manual

2. DUT connection terminal used as calibration reference plane

The following describes the calibration and compensation necessary for using the DUT
connection terminal of the dedicated test fixture as a calibration reference plane. As
indicated in Table 6-4, only execution of open/short/load calibration is required.
Table 6-4 Calibration compensation to use DUT connection terminal as calibration
reference plane
Required calibration
Open/short/load calibration
*1. Perform DC open/short/load calibration as required.
*2. Use the Agilent 4287A option 004 (working standard set). Open calibration and short calibration can be made in
the open state or short state specified by the fixture; it is not necessary to use a special standard that has the same
shape as the DUT.
1. How to check and change calibration kit definition
Check the definition of the working standard to be used and change it as required by
following the steps in "How to Define Calibration Kit" on page 145.
2. How to select the measurement point table
To perform calibration data measurement for only one of the eight measurement point
tables, follow these steps to select the active table.
NOTE When performing calibration data measurement for all of the measurement point tables at
once, it is not necessary to select individual measurement point tables.
Step 1. Press the
Step 2. Press the
menu.
Step 3. In the softkey menu, press the key (
measurement point table for which calibration data measurement should be performed.
