The 96270A calibrates a broad workload of RF calibration devices, including:
The metrology associated with calibrating these items becomes simpler because you have fewer error sources and uncertainty contributions to consider than with traditional RF calibration systems.
The 96270A can “self-characterize” or profile its output to account for losses and attenuation of system components like cables, attenuators, splitters, and connecters, effectively creating a signal reference plane directly at the connection to the UUT input. This frequency/amplitude level correction profile is saved into 96270A memory, which can store up to 30 profiles for different output and interconnection configurations. Using a profile, the 96270A applies the level correction data automatically and delivers the user’s signal level setting accurately at the reference plane created at the UUT input. As a result, you save time, because you don’t have to measure, calculate and apply correction factors for each component in the signal delivery system.
Cut the cost of your RF calibration system in half
As the central instrument in a high performance RF spectrum analyzer calibration system, the 96270A can cut your costs in half or even more. The 96270A replaces all of these parts of a “typical” RF calibration system:
Up to five signal sources (from audio/ function generators to RF and microwave signal generators and low phase noise sources)
The 96270A not only reduces the initial cost and time to purchase, install and configure RF system components, but it also reduces the costs to maintain and calibrate all of that equipment. For many spectrum analyzer models operating below 27 GHz, as well as for most power sensors, you only need a 96270A to perform the entire calibration.
The 96270A is also easier to transport than a heavy rack of equipment and accessories, making it the optimum solution for on-site calibration.
Many RF calibration systems are assembled with a mix of general purpose signal generators, power sensors, and other non-calibration-specific instruments. The 96270A, on the other hand, is designed specifically for RF calibration. Its user interface is designed to simplify processes for calibrating items such as spectrum analyzers, RF level meters and receivers. Parameter offset, stepping, relative and UUT/DUT error readout modes allow you to work accurately and efficiently, following familiar calibration procedures. You’ll find it easier than ever to determine the performance and tolerances of units under test.
The 96270A front panel is equipped with dedicated function keys, context-sensitive softkeys, and a bright, easy-to-read color display that make levels in terms of power (watts or dBm), voltage (RMS or peak to peak) using familiar multipliers and exponent forms. You can move easily between voltage, power and dBm units without losing entered values or accuracy. In error readout mode to adjust the reading, simply rotate the spin wheel and the UUT error is displayed directly in dB, ppm or percent.
The simple, calibration-oriented user interface also makes troubleshooting easier if you encounter an unexpected result or an out-of-tolerance condition while following a manual or automated calibration procedure.
With low phase noise optimized for low and high offset frequencies, and specifications from 1 Hz to 10 MHz offsets, the 96270A offers exceptional phase noise performance beyond that required for today’s high performance workloads.
Phase noise data is included in the 96270A certificate of calibration. Instead of relying only on the more conservative guaranteed specifications, users have actual performance data for their unit.
Calibrated as a system to assure system performance
The 96270A mainframe and leveling head are calibrated together as a complete system to assure overall system performance. Each 96270A instrument is supplied with a comprehensive ISO 17025 compliant certificate of calibration with data for all key parameters, including level and attenuation, leveling head output VSWR, and phase noise. You can be assured that your 96270A is traceable, plus RF metrology and uncertainty analysis become much simpler and faster. Accredited certification is available for the 96270A and both 50 ohm and 75 ohm heads.
