8. UNCORRECTED SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEST

Description

This test checks the directivity, source match, load match, transmission tracking, and
reflection tracking which are the key S-parameter measurement hardware characteristics.
These characteristics are tested using the Agilent 85032F Calibration Kit at 3MHz, 10
MHz, as well as 50 MHz increments from 50 MHz to 3 GHz (up to 8.5 GHz for the
E5071B). After a full two-port (SOLT) calibration is performed for each test port, VBA
test programs are executed to output the directivity, source match, load match, transmission
tracking, and reflection tracking data to the display.
