Required Equipment

1. E5070B/E5071B

2. External controller (computer) Use a personal computer or workstation equipped with the GPIB interface. You need to

install software to control this instrument via GPIB into the external controller (for example, HTBasic and Agilent VEE) and set the GPIB mode to talker/listener mode (

[System] - Misc Setup - GPIB Setup - Talker/Listener Address).

3. Other devices (other instruments and/or peripherals that serve your purpose)

4. GPIB cables for connecting the E5070B/E5071B, the external controller, and other devices

Scale of system you can construct

• You can connect up to 15 devices in a single GPIB system.

• The length of cables to connect between devices must be 4 m or less. The total length of connecting cables in a single GPIB system must be 2 m × the number of connected devices (including the controller) or less. You cannot construct the system in which the total cable length exceeds 20 m.

• The number of connectors connected to an individual device must be 4 or less. If you connect 5 or more connectors, excessive force is applied to the connector part, which may result in failure.

• You can choose the device connection topology from start, linear, and combined. Loop connection is not supported.

Device selector

The device selector is a unique value assigned to each device that is used by the controller to select the control target (to send/receive messages) among devices connected on the GPIB remote control system.

The device selector consists of a select code (usually , 7) and a GPIB address. For example, when the select code is 7 and the GPIB address is 17, the device selector is 717. The select code must be set for each system. The GPIB address must be set to a unique value for each device, which is used to identify devices on the same system. In the description and sample programs in this manual, it is assumed that the device selector is set to 717.

Overview of Remote Control

LAN remote control system

Control from a program (using port 5025)

When controlling the E5070B/E5071B from a program on the external controller, use the socket of port 5025 for connection.

NOTE Some functions such as service requests that are available in the GPIB remote control

system are not available in control over telnet server.

Control using C or Visual Basic

You can control th e E5070B/ E5 071B by socket programming using the C language in the UNIX environment, or Visual C++ or Visual Basic in the Windows environment.

For socket programming, the library for network connection on the TCP/IP protocol is required. For the UNIX environment, BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) Sockets API is available; for the Windows environment, WinSock (WinSock1.1 and WinSock2.0) created by porting BSD Sockets to Windows and expanding it is available.

For more information on the control method, see a sample program for control using WinSock described in “Controlling Using Telnet Server” on page 273.

Agilent Control using VEE

Agilent VEE allows you to control the E5070B/E5071B through the connection to the socket of port 5025 using To/From Socket. Figure 2-5 shows an example (when the IP address of the E5070B/E5071B is 192.168.0.1). Enter 5025 in the field to specify the port for connection (1 in Figure 2-5) and enter the IP address or host name of the E5070B/E5071B in the filed to specify the host name (2 in Figure 2-5).

Sending SCPI command messages

Types and structure of commands

The SCPI commands available for the E5070B/E5071B are classified into 2 groups as follows.

E5070B/E5071B commands

Commands specific to the E5070B/E5071B. They cover all measurement functions that the E5070B/E5071B has and some general-purpose functions. The commands in this group are arranged in a hierarchical structure called the command tree (see “Command tree” on page 828). Each command consists of character strings (mnemonics) indicating each hierarchical level and colon (:) separators between hierarchical levels.

IEEE common commands

Commands to cover general-purpose functions defined in IEEE488.2 that are available commonly to instruments that support this standard. The commands in this group have an asterisk (*) at the beginning. For the commands in this group, there is no hierarchical structure.

Concepts of the command tree

The commands at the top of the command tree are called “root command” or simply “root.” To access lower level commands in the tree, you need to specify a specific path like a directory path in the DOS file system. After po wer-on or reset, the current path is set to the root. Special characters in messages change the path setting as described below.

Message terminator A message terminator such as the

<new line> character sets the current path to the root.

Colon (:) A colon between 2 command mnemonics lowers the level of the

current path in the command tree. A colon used as the first character of a command specifies the command mnemonic that follows as the root-level command.

Semicolon (;) A semicolon does not change the current path and separates 2

commands in the same message.

Figure 2-10 shows an example of how to use colons and semicolons to efficiently access commands in the command tree.

Overview of Remote Control

Sending SCPI command messages

2. Overview of Remote

Control

Grammar of messages

This section describes the grammar to send program messages via GPIB. Program messages are messages that the user sends to the instrument from the external controller to control the instrument. A program message consists of 1 or more commands and their necessary parameters.

Upper/lower case sensitivity

Upper/lower case insensitive.

Program message terminator

A program message must be terminated with one of the 3 program message terminators: <new line>, <^END>, or <new line><^END>. <^END> indicates that EOI on the GPIB interface becomes active at the instant when the immediately previous data byte is sent. For example, the OUTPUT command of HTBasic automatically sends the message terminator after the last data byte.

Parameters

A space (ASCII code: 32) is required between a command and its first parameter. When sending several parameters in a single command, separate each parameter with a comma (,).

Message including several commands

When sending 2 or more commands in a single message, separate each command with a semicolon (;). The following example shows how to send the *CLS command and the :STAT:PRES command in a single message using HTBasic.

OUTPUT 717;"*CLS;:STAT:PRES"

Chapter 2 49

Overview of Remote Control

Sending SCPI command messages

Remote mode

The E5070B/E5071B does not provide remote mode. Therefore, even if you send a GPIB command, it never enters into remote mode automatically. There is no local key to release remote mode.

If you need to prevent misoperation during remote control due to entry from the front panel or mouse, lock the input devices using the following commands.

• :SYST:KLOC:KBD command on page 794

• :SYST:KLOC:MOU S command on page 795

3 Setting Up the Analyzer

3. Setting Up the Analyzer

This chapter describes how to configure measurement conditions and how to configure the way the instrument displays measurement results on the LCD.

Setting Up the Analyzer

Selecting the Active Channel/Trace

You can configure the E5070 B/E507 1B by using various commands. Some commands require you to specify and work with a particular channel or trace, while other commands do not have this restriction.

Those commands that do not require you to specify a particular channel or trace apply to the currently active channels and traces. Before issuing such a command, therefore, you must make the appropriate channels and traces active.

To make a channel active, use the following command:

• :DISP:WIND{1-16}:ACT on page 470

NOTE Only the currently displayed channels can be active channels. Therefore, you must display

the desired channels by using the :DISP:SPL command on page 466 before making them active.

To make a trace active, use the following command:

• :CALC{1-16}:PAR{1-16}:SEL on page 424

NOTE Only the currently displayed traces can be active traces. Therefore, you must display the

desired traces by using the :CALC{1-16}:PAR:COUN command on page 421 before making them active.

52 Chapter 3

Setting Up the Analyzer

Configuring Measurement Conditions

Setting the number of traces

When you set the number of traces, that setting determines the upper limit trace number; for example, if the setting is 3, traces 1 through 3 will be displayed. To set the number of traces, use the following command:

• :CALC{1-16}:PAR:COUN on page 421

NOTE Only the currently displayed traces can be active traces. Therefore, you must set the

number of traces appropriately before making them active.

Selecting measurement parameters

To select the measurement parameter (S parameter) for each trace, use the following command:

• :CALC{1-16}:PAR{1-16}:DEF on page 422 When you use the Balance-Unbalance Conversion feature, you can select the mixed mode

S parameter as well. For more information, refer to “Analysis Using the Fixture Simulator” on page 150.

Setting the sweep condition (Stimulus)

How you can set the sweep condition depends on the sweep type. You can choose between the following four sweep types:

• Linear sweep

• Log sweep

• Segment sweep

• Power sweep To select one of the above sweep types, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:SWE:TYPE on page 696 To select the sweep mode (stepped/fast stepped/swept/fast swept), use the following

command:

• :SENS{1-16}:SWE:GEN on page 692

3. Setting Up the Analyzer

Turning On/Off stimulus signal output

T o turn on/off the stimulus signal output, use the following commands. For example, if the power output is automatically turned off due to the power trip feature, remove the cause of the over-input and turn on the stimulus signal output by executing the following command. You canno t pe rform measurement until you turn on the stimulus signal output.

• :OUTP on page 527

Configuring Measurement Conditions

Configuring linear sweep settings

To set the sweep range, use the following commands:

Start value :SENS{1-16}:FREQ:STAR on page 657 Stop value :SENS{1-16}:FREQ:STOP on page 658 Center value :SENS{1-16}:FREQ:CENT on page 654 Span value :SENS{1-16}:FREQ:SPAN on page 656

To set the number of measurement points, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:SWE:POIN on page 693

To set the measurement time, use the following commands:

Measurement time :SENS{1-16}:SWE:TIME on page 694 Turning on/off auto setting :SENS{1-16}:SWE:TIME:AUTO on page 695

To set the sweep delay time, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:SWE:DEL on page 691

To set the IF bandwidth, use the one of the following commands (both provide the same function):

• :SENS{1-16}:BAND on page 545

• :SENS{1-16}:BWID on page 546

Setting power level

When the instrument is equipped with the power range expansion function (Option 214, 314, or 414), you can select the power range by using the following command:

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:ATT on page 705

To set the power level, use the following command:

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW on page 704

To select whether to output the same power level (the set value for port 1) or a different power level for each port, use the following command:

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:PORT:COUP on page 709

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:PORT{1-4} on page 710

To set the correction of power-level attenuation so that it’s proportional to the frequency (power slope feature), use the following command:

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:SLOP:STAT on page 718

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:SLOP on page 71 7

NOTE If you turn on the power slope feature, the sweep mode is changed to the step mode.

54 Chapter 3

Setting Up the Analyzer

Configuring Measurement Conditions

Configuring segment sweep settings

When you opt to use segment sweep, you can set all items (in the segment sweep table) by using a single command:

• :SENS{1-16}:SEGM:DATA on page 688 Alternatively, you can configure the segment sweep settings based on the data contained in

a CSV file by issuing the following command:

• :MMEM:LOAD:SEGM on page 504 Also, you can save the contents of the current segment sweep table to a file by issuing the

following command:

• :MMEM:STOR:SEGM on page 518 For more information on how to save and load the segment sweep table, refer to “Saving

and recalling the segment sweep table.”

Configuring power sweep settings

To set the sweep range, use the following commands:

Start value :SOUR{1-16}:POW:STAR on page 720 Stop value :SOUR{1-16}:POW:STOP on page 721 Center value :SOUR{1-16}:POW:CENT on page 708 Span value :SOUR{1-16}:POW:SPAN on page 719

To set the fixed frequency (CW frequency), use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:FREQ on page 653 To set the number of points, the sweep time, the sweep delay time, and the IF bandwidth,

use the same commands as for the linear/log sweep.

Configuring Averaging Settings

To configure the smoothing settings, use the following commands:

On/off :SENS{1-16}:AVER on page 543 Averaging factor :SENS{1-16}:AVER:COUN on page 544 Clear (Restart) :SENS{1-16}:AVER:CLE on page 543

For averaging, normally, the instrument must be triggered according to the number of averaging; however, when the averaging trigger is turned on, sweeps for the number of averaging can be executed by a single trigger. For details on the averaging trigger, refer to “Averaging Trigger Function” on page 138 of Chapter 5, “Making a Measurement,”

Configuring Display Settings

Setting the layout of windows and graphs

You can sp lit the E5070B/E5071B’s LCD screen into multiple windows that display channel-specific result information, and the window layout can be selected from a number of variations. In addition, you can place on screen a segment sweep table or echo window, which you can use to display messages from your custom program.

Selecting the window layout (Channel Display Mode)

One window displays the results for a single channel. You cannot have a single window display the results from more than one channel. This means that setting the window layout determines the number of channels displayed on screen.

To select one of the 19 different window layouts shown in Figure 3-1, use the following command:

• :DISP:SPL on page 466

Selecting the graph layout (Trace Display Mode)

3. Setting Up the Analyzer

You can place a number of trace graphs in each window by selecting one of the pre-defined graph layouts. The number of graphs differs depending on your selected graph layout. If the number of graphs is equal to or larger than the number of traces (set by the :CALC{1-16}:PAR:COUN command on page 421), each graph always displays one trace. On the other hand, if the number of graphs is smaller than the number of traces, some of the graphs display two or more traces. Graph 1 is populated with trace 1, graph 2 with trace 2, and so on. Traces whose numbers exceed the last graph's number will populate graph 1, graph 2, and so on.

To select one of the 19 different graph layouts shown in Figure 3-1, use the following command:

• :DISP:WIND{1-16}:SPL on page 475

Maximizing a window or a trace graph

When you have multiple windows displayed, you can maximize the active channel window so that it covers the entire screen area. To maximize a window, use the following command:

• :DISP:MAX on page 465 Similarly, when you have multiple traces displayed, you can maximize the active trace so

that it extends throughout the entire window. To maximize a trace, use the following command:

• :DISP:WIND{1-16}:MAX on page 474

Configuring the display scale

Depending on the measurement parameter data format, you can configure the display scale in one of the following two ways:

Rectangular display formats:

When you use one of rectangular display formats (Logarithmic magnitude/Phase/ Group delay/Linear magnitude/SWR/Real/Imaginary/Expanded phase/Positive phase), you can configure the display scale by setting the following four items:

Number of divisions :DISP:WIND{1-16}:Y:DIV on page 486 Scale per division :DISP:WIND{1-16}:TRAC{1-16}:Y:PDIV on page 482 Reference graticule line :DISP:WIND{1-16}:TRAC{1-16}:Y:RPOS on page484 Reference graticule line value :DISP:WIND{1-16}:TRAC{1-16}:Y:RLEV on page 483

NOTE The number of divisions is a channel-wide setting (shared among all traces), while the

remaining three settings are trace-specific.

You can sh ow or hide graticule label (the label on the left-hand side of the graticule lines) by issuing the following command:

• :DISP:WIND{1-16}:LAB on page 473

Smith chart/Polar formats:

When you are using one of Smith chart/Polar formats, you can only set the full scale value (the outermost circle’s value) using the following command:

• :DISP:WIND{1-16}:TRAC{1-16}:Y:PDIV on page 482

Auto Scale

You can use Auto Scale to automatically set the display scale. This feature works by automatically adjusting the reference division line value and the scale value per division when you are using one of the rectangular display formats or the full scale value when you are using one of Smith chart/Polar formats.

To perform Auto Scale, use the following command:

NOTE To calculate the calibration coefficients for the simplified full 3-port and simplified full

4-port calibrations, select the full 3-port and full-4 port commands, respectively. To calculate the calibration coefficient for the simplified 3-port TRL calibration and the simplified 4-port TRL calibration, select the 3-port TRL and the 4-port TRL commands, respectively.

To check the currently selected calibration type, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:METH:TYPE? on page 610

Setting the trigger source for calibration

T o set the trigger source for calibration, use the following command. By setting the trigger source for calibration to “System,” setting th e trigger source for measurement to “External,” and turning on the point trigger function, it becomes possible to use “calibration for each measurement point using the external trigger.”

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:TRIG:FREE on page 651

NOTE The trigger source for calibration does not function for the calibrations of E-Cal, power,

receiver, and scalar mixer.

Measuring Calibration Data

To measure the calibration data, use one of the following commands:

Calibration data items Command

OPEN :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:OPEN on page 611 SHORT :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:SHOR on page 613 LOAD :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:LOAD on page 600 THRU :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:THRU on page 616 Isolation :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ISOL on page 599 TRL Thru :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:TRLT on page 619 TRL Reflection :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:TRLR on page 618 TRL Line/Match :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:TRLL on page 617

NOTE You cannot run more than one of the commands listed above at a time; if you issue another

command before the currently running command completes successfully , the current command will be aborted. Therefore, when you write a program that issues multiple calibration commands in series, you should use the *OPC? command on page 288 or some other means to ensure that no command is executed before the preceding command completes itself.

As shown in Table 4-1, the data required to calculate the calibration coefficients differ depending on the selected calibration type.

Calculating Calibration Coefficients

To calculate the calibration coefficients, use one of the following commands:

Calibration type Command

Response, 1/2/3/4 port :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:SAVE on page 613 Simplified full 3/4 port

Simplified 3/4-port TRL

:SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:SIMP:SAVE on page 614

Before issuing the above commands, you must measure all required calibration data items according to your selected calibration type (see T able 4-1).Calculating the calibration coefficients clears all calibration data regardless of whether they are used for the calculation. The calibration type selection is also cleared, which results in a state where no calibration type is selected.

Simplified full 3-/4-port calibration

NOTE This function is available with firmware version 3.50 or greater. Note that you can execute

this function from the front panel only for firmware version A.06.50 or greater.

The simplified full 3-/4-port calibration acquires the calibration coefficients while omitting a part of the thru measurement.

NOTE Notes on the simplified full 3-/4-port calibration

Compared to the normal full 3-/4-port calibration, the simplified full 3-/4-port calibration is more sensitive to the error that may arise when acquiring calibration data. This because the calibration coefficients are calculated without a part of the thru measurement data. Therefore, the following should be considered when measuring data for the simplified full 3-/4-port calibration.

R The standard used for measurement must match its definition value.

• Use a standard that provides good repeatability (stability).

• Do not omit the length of the thru when defining the standard.

• When using a user-created standard, verify the definition value.

• For the N connector, remember that it has two different types: male and female.

R Assure high reliability and repeatability for measurement.

• Reduce the difference in external environment (such as temperature difference) between the time when measuring calibration data and when measuring actual data.

• Set the power level of the stimulus signal sufficiently small so that compression does not occur.

• Narrow the IF bandwidth.

• Increase the averaging factor.

• Use a cable that has robust amplitude/phase characteristics against bending.

• Use high-precision connectors.

Simplified 3/4-port TRL calibration

NOTE This function is available with firmware version A.06.50 or greater.

The simplified 3/4-port TRL calibration calculates the calibration coefficient by skipping part of the thru/line measurement (or line/match measurement) that is necessary for normal 3/4-port TRL calibration.

NOTE You need to gi ve consideration to the same conditions for the simplified 3/4-port TRL

calibration as those for the simplified full 3/4-port calibration listed above.

Turning ON/OFF Error Correction

To turn ON/OFF error correction, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:STAT on page 650 Also, once you have calculated the calibration coefficient using the

:SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:SAVE or :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:SIMP:SAVE command, error correction is automatically turned on.

78 Chapter 4

Performing Calibration

Calibration

Using ECal

An ECal (Electronic Calibration) module allows you to perform 1-/2-/3-/4-port calibration and response (THRU) calibration without having to replace the standard device.

ECal works by using the calibration kit data contained in the ECal module instead of the calibration kit data selected for the E5070B/E5071B. This means that you do not have to define or select a calibration kit when using ECal.

NOTE When two or more ECal modules are connected through the USB port, the system uses the

calibration kit data of the first ECal module.

To perform ECal, use one of the following commands:

Calibration type Command

1-Port Calibration :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ECAL:SOLT1 on page 594 Full 2-Port Calibration :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ECAL:SOLT2 on page 594 Full 3-Port Calibration :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ECAL:SOLT3 on page 595 Full 4-Port Calibration :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ECAL:SOLT4 on page 595 Enhanced Response Calibration :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ECAL:ERES on page 592 Response Calibration (THRU) :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ECAL:THRU on page 596

Simply issuing one of the above commands completes all of the tasks necessary for error correction, including measuring the calibration data, calculating the calibration coefficients, and running the error correction feature.

NOTE Once you have initiated ECal, you cannot cancel the operation.

No command entered following the initiation of ECal will be processed until ECal completes successfully. Accordingly, if you issue a command that queries some data, the system will not respond to the query until ECal is complete.

You can control wh ether to perform isol at ion measurement during ECal. To turn ON/OFF isolation measurement, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ECAL:ISOL on page 593 You can control whether to perform unk nown thru calibration during ECal. To turn

ON/OFF unknown thru calibration, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ECAL:UTHR on page 598

NOTE If the ECal module does not support isolation measurement, the system will not perform it.

To select the ECal characteristic for a user-characterized ECal, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:ECAL:UCH on page 597

When you turn on error correction, you can check the calibration type actually applied to each trace. To check the calibration type, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:TYPE{1-16}? on page 652

NOTE The above command reads out the same parameter (SOLT3) for both the full 3-port and

simplified full 3-port calibrations, and thus they cannot be discriminated. For the same reason, the following calibrations cannot be discriminated: fu ll 4-port and simplified full 4-port, 3-port TRL and simplified 3-port TRL, and 4-port TRL and simplified 4-port TRL.

Saving and loading calibration coefficients

You can save calibration coefficients to a file along with other instrument settings and then later load them from the file.

By default, the system does not save calibration coefficients when it saves instrument settings. Therefore, to save calibration coefficients, you must explicitly configure the system to save them by issuing the following command:

• on page 525 To save calibration coefficients to a file, use the following command:

• :MMEM:STOR on page 506 To load calibration coefficients from a file, use the following command:

• :MMEM:LOAD on page 495 For more information on how to save and load calibration coefficients, refer to “Saving and

Power Calibration

The E5070B/E5071B lets you perform power calibration by using a power meter to output a more accurate power level.

Preparation for power calibration

Connecting Power Meter and Power Sensor

The E5070B/E5071B performs power calibration by controlling the power meter via GPIB. Therefore, you need to connect the E5070B/E5071B and the power meter by using the USB/GPIB interface. For details on this as well as information on available power meters and power sensors, refer to the User's Guide.

Setting GPIB Address of Power Meter

Use the following command to set the GPIB address of the power meter to the E5070B/E5071B.

• :SYST:COMM:GPIB:PMET:ADDR on page 782

Setting Power Sensor Calibration Factor Table

Before performing power calibration, set the reference calibration factor (the calibration factor at 50 MHz) and the calibration factor for each frequency depending on the power sensor you use.

NOTE Depending on the combination of power meter and power sensor that you use, the power

sensor calibration factor table may be set automatically by the power meter. In this case, do not set the calibration factor table with the E5070B/E5071B. For details, refer to the User's Guide.

To set the reference calibration factor of the power sensor, use the following commands:

Channel A :SOUR:POW:PORT:CORR:COLL:ASEN:RCF on page 700 Channel B :SOUR:POW:PORT:CORR:COLL:BSEN:RCF on page 701

T o set the calibration factor table of the power sensor for each frequency, use the following commands:

Channel A :SOUR:POW:PORT:CORR:COLL:TABL:ASEN:DATA on page 702 Channel B :SOUR:POW:PORT:CORR:COLL:TABL:BSEN:DATA on page 703

Alternatively , you can configure the power sensor calibration factor table based on the data contained in a CSV file by issuing the following commands:

Channel A :MMEM:LOAD:ASCF on page 496 Channel B :MMEM:LOAD:BSCF on page 497

Also, you can save the contents of the current power sensor calibration factor table to a file by issuing the following commands:

For more information on saving/recalling the power sensor calibration factor table, refer to “Saving/recalling Power Sensor Calibration Factor Table” on page 197.

Loss compensation

You can perform loss comp ensatio n by setting in advance the power loss due to the difference in connections (cables, adapters, etc.) between the when the power calibration data are measured and when the actual DUTs are measured.

Setting Loss Compensation Table

To set the loss compensation table for each frequency, use the following command:

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:PORT{1-4}:CORR:COLL:TABL:LOSS:DATA on page 715 Alternatively, you can configure the loss compensation table based on the data contained in

Power Calibration

Measuring power calibration data

NOTE Before measuring power calibration data, you need to execute zero adjustment and

calibration of the power sensor. For information on how to perform these procedures, refer to the operation manual of the power meter you are using.

When using the power sensor calibration factor table of the E5070B/E5071B, set the reference calibration factor of the power meter to 100% when calibrating the power sensor.

To set the number of power calibration data measurements at one measurement point (averaging factor), use the following command:

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:PORT{1-4}:CORR:COLL:AVER on page 712

To set a tolerance for power calibration, use the following command:

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:PORT{1-4}:CORR:COLL:NTOL on page 713

NOTE When a tolerance for power calibration is set, if the measured value does not fall within the

tolerance, even after measurement is performed during power calibration the number of times specified by the averaging factor, an error message is displayed and the power calibration is aborted. In this case, the power correction is not turned on.

To measure the power calibration data, use the following command. When the measurement is complete, the power calibration is automatically turned on.

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:PORT{1-4}:CORR:COLL on page 711

NOTE If you issue another command during the measurement of the power calibration data by the

above command, the measurement may be aborted. Therefore, when you write a program that issues multiple calibration commands in series, you should use the *OPC? command on page 288 or some other means to ensure that no command is executed before the preceding command completes itself.

Turning ON/OFF power-level error correction

To turn on or off the power-level error correction, use the following command:

• :SOUR{1-16}:POW:PORT{1-4}:CORR on page 711

NOTE When the power calibration data measurement initiated with the

:SOUR{1-16}:POW:PORT{1-4}:CORR:COLL command is complete, the power

calibration is automatically turned on.

Reading/writing power calibration data array

The power calibration data array contains data used to perform error correction for the power level at each measurement point (values obtained by subtracting the value actually measured with the power meter from the set power level value when measuring power calibration data at each measurement point).

4. Performing Calibration

The number of power calibration data arrays that are assigned to individual ports of individual channels can be up to 64 (16×4). To read/write one of the power calibration data arrays, use the following command:

Receiver Calibration

The E5070B/E5071B has a receiver calibration capability to calibrate the gain for each receiver in an absolute measurement.

Measurement of receiver calibration data and calculation of calibration coefficient

NOTE Before starting a measurement of receiver calibration data, you must connect a THRU

between the source port at which power calibration was applied and the receiver port on which you want to implement receiver calibration.

Use the following command for the measurement of receiver calibration data and calculation of calibration coefficient. The value following REC signifies a receiver port number, and the value given as an argument is a source port number. Specifying the same port to both the receiver port and source port will cause an error.

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:REC{1-4}:COLL:ACQ on page 648

Once the measurement is completed, calculation of the calibration coefficient takes place automatically, turning on receiver error correction automatically.

NOTE The power calibration information on both the receiver port and source port is used to

calculate calibration coefficients. The accuracy of receiver calibration will increase if power calibration is implemented for both the receiver port and the source port before starting receiver calibration. For information on power calibration, refer to “Power Calibration” on page 87.

NOTE Verify the frequency of each port before starting a frequency offset sweep. Since this

command does not change the frequency setting, you cannot expect a correct measurement result unless the frequency is the same for both the receiver port and the source port.

When using power calibration in combination with receiver calibration, you must implement it so that it sufficiently covers the frequencies of both ports or implement it twice, before and after the receiver calibration.

Turning ON/OFF receiver error correction

To turn on or off the receiver error correction, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:REC{1-4} on page 647

NOTE Once the measurement of receiver calibration data is completed with the

:SENS{1-16}:CORR:REC{1-4}:COLL:ACQ command, receiver error correction is

automatically turned on.

Scalar-Mixer Calibration

The E5070B/E5071B’s frequency offset function allows you to measure any device that has different input and output frequencies. To correct such measurements, you must determine the transmission frequency characteristics at different frequencies.

Scalar-mixer calibration is a method to calculate the transmission frequency characteristics at different frequencies by using a power meter.

Measurement of scalar-mixer calibration data

Setting Frequency Offset Function

You can use the following command to enable the frequency offset function before starting a measurement of scalar-mixer calibration data.

• :SENS{1-16}:OFFS on page 668

NOTE To use scalar-mixer calibration, the frequency offset function must be enabled.

Selecting Calibration Port and Type

You can use the following comman ds to set the port on whic h a measurem ent of scalar-mixer calibration data is implemented and the type of calibration.

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:OFFS:COLL:METH:SMIX2 on page 639

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:OFFS:COLL:METH:SOLT1 on page 640 “SMIX2” will set a scalar-mixer calibration for 2-port forward, revers e and both directions.

“SOLT1” will set 1-port calibration.

NOTE The two ports specified by “SMIX2” must be different from each other.

The setting of forward, reverse and both directions is not dependent on the order of the two specified ports but determined by specifying an appropriate command for calibration data measurement, such as :SENS{1-16}:CORR:OFFS:COLL:OPEN on page 641.

Measuring the Calibration Data

You can use the following command to measure the scalar-mixer calibration data.

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:OFFS:COLL:OPEN on page 641

Measuring Power

You can use the following command to measure power.

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:OFFS:COLL:PMET on page 642

NOTE Power measurement is required for scalar-mixer calibration, but it is not required for 1-port

calibration. The setting for power measurement is the same as for the normal power calibration. For information on power calibration, refer to “Power Calibration” on page 87.

Calculation of scalar-mixer calibration coefficient

If the needed measurement is completed for the calibration port and type you have selected, use the following command to start calculation of calibration coefficients.

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:OFFS:COLL:SAVE on page 643

NOTE If the necessary measurement is not completed, an error will occur. Once the calculation of

calibration coefficients is completed, the measurement values are cleared despite whether they were used and error correction is turned on automatically.

Turning ON/OFF scalar-mixer error correction

T o turn on or of f scalar -mixer error correction, use the following command. This command is commonly used for the normal calibration; scalar-mixer calibration data are enabled while the frequency offset is turned on, and the normal calibration data are enabled while it is turned off.

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:STAT on page 650

NOTE Once the scalar-mixer calibration coefficient has been calculated, scalar-mixer correction is

automatically turned on.

Implementing scalar-mixer calibration with ECal

An ECal (Electronic Calibration) module allows you to perform scalar-mixer calibration and 1-port calibration without needing to replace the standard device.

To perform ECal, use one of the following commands:

Calibration type Command

1-Port Calibration :SENS{1-16}:CORR:OFFS:COLL:ECAL:SOLT1 on page637 Scalar-Mixer Calibration :SENS{1-16}:CORR:OFFS:COLL:ECAL:SMIX2 on page636

Simply issuing one of the above commands completes some of the tasks necessary for error correction, including measuring the calibration data, calculating the calibration coefficients, and running the error correction feature. To implement scalar-mixer calibration, you must measure the power in advance. For 1-port calibration, you do not need to do this.

Partial overwrite

The E5070B/E5071B has the following calibration coefficients for full N-port calibration: Er, Es, Ed (reflection), Et (transmission), and Ex (isolation).The partial overwrite function is used to measure some of these calibration coefficients after completion of the initial calibration and then to overwrite them.

The conditions under which the calibration coefficients can be calculated by the partial overwrite are as follows:

• Calibration is completed once and valid (status other than C? or C!)

• One or more measurements for re-calculation are performed.

NOTE The isolation calibration coefficient, Ex, cannot be returned to th e initial value, 0, once it is

calculated. If calculation of the calibration coefficients is attempted without the measurements

required to execute the partial overwrite, an error message (20: Additional Standard Needed) is displayed.

Executing calculation of calibration coefficients using partial overwrite

To calculate the calibration coefficients using partial overwrite, use the following command:

• :SENS{1-16}:CORR:COLL:PART:SAVE on page 612

NOTE Before you can calculate the calibration coefficients with the partial overwrite, you must

select the appropriate calibration type in the same way used for normal calibration. If calculation of the calibration coefficients is attempted without selecting the calibration type, an error message (28: Invalid Calibration Method) is displayed.

Sample Program

The Cal_solt subprogram in lines 1470 to 2000, which performs full n-port calibration, is described below.

Line 1510 Displays the calibration type. Lines 1550 to 1590 These lines configure the instrument to perform full Num_of_ports

port calibration on the ports identified by Port(1) through Port(Num_of_ports).

Lines 1630 to 1790 These lines make up a loop that iterates while incrementing i from 1 to

Num_of_ports.

Lines 1640 to 1650: Prompt the user to connect an OPEN standard to port Port(i) and wait for a press of the [Enter] key after the connection.

Lines 1660 to 1680: Execute the OPEN calibration data measurement command on port Port(i) and wait until the measurement completes successfully.

Lines 1690 to 1700: Prompt the user to connect a SHORT standard to port Port(i) and wait for a press of the [Enter] key after the connection.

Lines 1710 to 1730: Execute the SHORT calibration data measurement command on port Port(i) and wait until the measurement completes successfully.

Lines 1740 to 1750: Prompt the user to connect a LOAD standard to port Port(i) and wait for a press of the [Enter] key after the connection.

Lines 1760 to 1780: Execute the LOAD calibration data measurement command on port Port(i) and wait until the measurement completes successfully.

Lines 1830 to 1940 These lines make up a loop that iterates while incrementing i from 1 to

Num_of_ports-1 and j from i+1 to Num_of_ports.

Lines 1850 to 1860: Prompt the user to connect a THRU standard between port Port(i) and port Port(j) and wait for a press of the [Enter] key after the connection.

Lines 1660 to 1680: Execute the THRU calibration data measurement command on response port Port(i) and stimulus port Port(j) and wait until the measurement completes successfully.
