Partial correction for load match for low-loss reciprocal devices. Full 2-term error correction at test port, at room temperature. Highly accurate calibration, traceable to national standards labs. Full 2-term error correction using internal and a subset of external standards. Optimum error correction with Type-N and 7/6 connectors, and up to 8 GHz. Traditional short, open, load and thru (or using offset short standards) for calibration. Full 2-term error correction. Full 2-term error correction. Requires fewer connections, compared to traditional SOLT (4 compared to 7). Applicable to insertable devices. Full 2-term error correction. Applicable to both insertable and non-insertable devices. Easily characterize non-insertable devices such as Type-N to 3.5 mm, or female-female devices with unknown thru calibration. 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. 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.

15 Time domain, Option 00 The performance listed in this section applies to the time domain capabilities available in the following models: FieldFox microwave combination analyzers: N993A, N994A, N995A, N996A, N997A, N998A FieldFox microwave vector network analyzers: N9925A, N9926A, N9927A, N9928A In time-domain mode, FieldFox computes the inverse Fourier transform of the frequency-domain data to display reflection or transmission coefficients versus time. Setup parameters Time: start, stop, center, span Gating: start, stop, center, span, and on/off Number of points, velocity factor, line loss, window shape, independent control for all four traces Time stimulus modes Low-pass step Low-pass step is similar to a traditional time domain reflectometer (TDR) stimulus waveform. It is used to measure low-pass devices. The frequency-domain data should extend from DC (extrapolated value) to a higher value. Low-pass impulse Low-pass impulse response is used to measure low-pass devices. Bandpass impulse The bandpass impulse simulates a pulsed RF signal and is used to measure the time domain response of band-limited devices. Windows The windowing function can be used to filter the frequency domain data and thereby reduce overshoot and ringing in the time domain response. Windows Minimum, medium and maximum, manual entry of Kaiser Beta and impulse width. Gating The gating function can be used to selectively remove reflection or transmission time domain responses. In converting back to the frequency domain the effects of the responses outside the gate are removed. The results can be viewed with gating on and off, using two traces. Gate types Notch, bandpass Gate shapes Maximum, wide, normal, minimum VECTOR NETWORK ANALYZER 5
