Zusammenfassung: | A method is provided for calibrating a test system, including an RF source combined with a VNA connected to or embedded in a test instrument. The method includes connecting to a power meter at the test port; generating an RF signal at an RF source as an incident signal, and providing the incident signal to the power meter through the test port; measuring a forward power wave of the incident signal using a first receiver; measuring a reverse power wave of a reflected signal using a second receiver; measuring output power at the test port using the power meter; and calculating magnitude errors of the first receiver and the second receiver using the measured forward power wave, the measured reverse power wave, and the measured output power by the power meter, and determining magnitude error correction terms of the forward and reverse power waves to remove the magnitude errors. |
