Page 63: Calibrating The Instrument
R&S ZNB3000 Transmission S-parameter measurement The R&S ZNB3000 automatically adjusts its internal source and receiver to the selected measured quantities: For an S measurement, a stimulus signal (termed a is transmitted at the analyzer port no. 1; the transmitted wave (termed b ) is measured at port 2. - Page 64 With a single Through, it is possible to perform a transmission normalization, compen- sating for a frequency-dependent attenuation and phase shift in the signal paths. Due to the R&S ZNB3000's calibration wizard, calibration is a straightforward, guided process. 1. Replace the DUT by the Through standard of your calibration kit. Make sure to dis- connect all calibration units.
- Page 65 ® Performing measurements R&S ZNB3000 Transmission S-parameter measurement 4. Select "Next" to proceed to the next page of the "Calibration Setting" wizard. 5. Select the test port connector type and gender (here: N 50 Ω, female, correspond- ing to a male Through standard), and the calibration kit (here: R&S ZV-Z121).
