    Example: RCal Calibration Using a UXA Signal Analyzer Example: RCal Calibration Using a UXA Signal Analyzer The calibration procedure detailed below is specific to using a U9361 RCal with a UXA signal analyzer. Since the RCal is designed to use in various configurations it is important for the user to refer to their specific instrument calibration documentation for detailed requirements regarding adapters, cables, settings, and procedure.
  • Page 20 Example: RCal Calibration Using a UXA Signal Analyzer Procedure On the analyzer select Mode/Meas > Spectrum Analyzer Mode > Swept SA Measurement. Then, press Mode Preset. Select: Input/Output > Calibration > Configuration. This should bring up the RCal Configuration table: Press Select Calibrator, and replace None with RCal Module 1.
  • Page 21 Example: RCal Calibration Using a UXA Signal Analyzer The table should now appear as shown below: By using the scroll bar below the row, you can view the right side of the table: If the parameters shown in the examples above do not match your configuration, manually adjust the system to match.
  • Page 22 Example: RCal Calibration Using a UXA Signal Analyzer Press the Calibrate Checked Rows button.

  • Page 24: Care And Maintenance

    Care and Maintenance Care and Maintenance Disconnect the Keysight U9361C/F/G/M from USB power before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water to clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally. The U9361C/F/G/M receiver calibrator is not field-repairable, and requires return to Keysight for both repair and calibration.
  • Page 25 Care and Maintenance Connector Contacts Inspect the connector contacts for integrity. It is necessary to use good lighting (such as a halogen task light) to see the contacts. Notice the location of the cross hairs in relationship to the center of the figures. Contact Integrity Refer to the following for visual guidelines when evaluating the contact integrity of a connector.

  • Page 26: Making Connections

    Care and Maintenance Male Connector: Making Connections Good connections require a skilled operator. Instrument sensitivity and coaxial connector mechanical tolerances are such that slight errors in operator technique can have a significant effect on measurements and measurement uncertainties. The most common cause of measurement error is poor connections. 1.
  • Page 27 Care and Maintenance Connection Procedure Familiarize yourself with the proper use of the double-ended torque wrench shown in Figure 5 below. To prevent expensive repairs and repair downtime, take a few minutes to study the information in the following pages. Figure 5 Dual Torque wrench, 14 mm open end, 4 lb-in (0.45 Nm) and 10 lb-in (1.13 Nm), Part Number 8710-2819...
  • Page 28 Care and Maintenance Output Port Adapters Ruggedized adapter: — 1 mm to 1.00 mm Y1900B/C/D adapter This adapter can be connected to the U9361M output port. Due to the physical requirements needed to obtain high performance, the geometry of these, as well as all, 1 mm connectors, demands special care to avoid expensive damage as explained in this document.
  • Page 29 Care and Maintenance Hold the torque wrench lightly at the groove located at the end of the handle. Apply force perpendicular to the wrench handle. This applies torque to the connection through the wrench. Do not hold the wrench so tightly that you push the handle straight down along its length rather than pivoting it, otherwise you apply an unlimited amount of torque.
  • Page 30 Care and Maintenance Applying Torque For the 1 mm Output Port connector, use the dual torque wrench. For matching non-ruggedized connectors using the inner threads, to the U9361M, use the 4 lb-in torque wrench. Two wrenches must be used to avoid stress on semi-rigid cables. Figure 8 Wrenches on Test Port Direction to...
  • Page 31 Care and Maintenance Selecting and Positioning the Wrenches For a few possible connections, the following figures show the proper “flats” on which to place the wrench. Ruggedized Adapter to 1 mm Output Port Figure 9 shows the correct placement of the 10 lb-in torque wrench (the red end) and the 8 mm open end wrench.
  • Page 32 Care and Maintenance Adapter to 1 mm Output Port (without ruggedized adapter) It is recommended that you always connect a ruggedized adapter to the U9361M output port. However, if you want to connect an adapter that uses the inner threads, or cable directly to a test port connector, use the 4 lb-in end of the dual torque wrench (silver end of the dual torque wrench).

  • Page 33: Cleaning Connectors

    Care and Maintenance Cleaning Connectors 1. Inspect the connectors for dust, dirt, metal fragment, oils or film, and debris. 2. Blow off any dust with a filtered, clean supply of compressed air. 3. Add a few drops of high-purity isopropyl alcohol to a small cleaning swab (do not apply alcohol directly to the parts).
