Keysight’s U9361 RCal receiver calibrator enables you to perform an accurate and reliable calibration for your spectrum analyzer / signal analyzers using the following steps:
Connect the RCal to your signal analyzer via a high-power USB port.
Connect the signal analyzer’s 10 MHz reference signal to the U9361 RCal’s Reference In port.
Set the RCal options reference status as EXT (external).
Connect RCal’s RF Out to RF In of the signal analyzer.
The Keysight signal analyzer preconfigures the interface. The screen displays type of calibration, frequency range, attenuation range, and number of points.
Connect the RCal’s RF Out to the point in the path where the device under test (DUT) is when you take your actual measurements.
Click on “Calibrate checked rows” to initiate the receiver calibrator and the signal analyzer to generate correction data.
Disconnect the RCal and reconnect the signal path. This action moves the measurement plane. The X-Series signal analyzer dynamically tracks your measurements and only applies corrections to the states where needed.
