FieldFox RF Vector Network Analyzer (continued)
Description
Information
2-port calibration
(with Option 122)
Full 12-term error correction. Corrects for directivity, source match, reflection frequency response, load
match, and transmission frequency response for an N9923A with Option 122, full two-port S-parameters.
Unknown thru and QSOLT are both available.
1-port QuickCal
(with Option 112)
Corrects for directivity, frequency response, and source match errors, using internal and external standards.
QuickCal is most accurate for DUTs with 7/16 and Type-N connectors and measurement uncertainties are
provided for frequencies ≤ 6 GHz. Reduced accuracy for DUTs with 3.5 mm (m), SMA (m), or other male
coaxial connectors; performance is unspecified. QuickCal is not recommended for DUTs with 3.5 mm (f), SMA
(f), or other similar female connectors. QuickCal is not applicable to waveguide.
2-port QuickCal
(with Option 112 and 122)
Full 12-term error correction. Corrects for directivity, source match, reflection frequency response, load
match, and transmission frequency response. QuickCal is most accurate for DUTs with 7/16 and Type-N con-
nectors and measurement uncertainties are provided for frequencies ≤ 6 GHz. Reduced accuracy for DUTs
with 3.5 mm (m), SMA (m), or other male coaxial connectors; performance is unspecified. QuickCal is not rec-
ommended for DUTs with 3.5 mm (f), SMA (f), or other similar female connectors. QuickCal is not applicable to
waveguide.
Guided calibration wizard
FieldFox’s calibration wizard recommends a calibration type and calibration kit based on selected parameters
and connector types. Alternatively, users can select their own calibration type and calibration kit.
Interpolated error correction
With any type of accuracy enhancement applied, interpolated mode recalculates the error coefficients when
the test frequencies are changed. The number of points can be increased or decreased and the start/stop
frequencies can be changed, but the resulting frequency span must be a subset of the original calibration
frequency span.
