The calibration type this configuration defines. This is a required key for all calibration configurations.

There is no default value.

The calibration types that correspond to Keysight measurement modes often require the option to be purchased on the PNA. See list of PNA measurement mode applications.

The valid possible values are:

  • DeembedingCal

Specifies a characterization using a calibration device that results in a S2P file. The same proprietary ATE Systems calculations are performed as ExtendWithPnaMeasure. See DeembedingCal Calibration.

  • DIQ

Specifies a differential in phase quadrature calibration. This is to be used with the PNA DIQ measurement application (option 089). See Differential IQ (DIQ) Calibration.

  • ExtendExternalSource

Specifies a calibration to extend the reference plane of an external source within a noise or power calibration. See Extend with External Source.

  • ExtendWithFcmFile

Specifies a calibration to extend a reference plane from the input of an FCM to the output of an FCM using characterization data stored in read only memory. See Extend with FCM File.

  • ExtendWithLocalFile

Specifies a calibration to extend a reference plane using local deembed file (any S2P file, such as one created using short open and load measurements). See Extend with Local file.

  • ExtendWithPnaMeasure

Specifies a calibration to extend a reference plane to the input of an FCM using the PNA to measure the states. See Extend with PNA Measure.

  • GainCompression

Specifies a gain compression calibration. This is to be used with the PNA gain compression measurement application (option 086). See Gain Compression Calibration.

  • IMSpectrum

Specifies an Intermodulation Distortion Spectrum calibration. This is to be used with the PNA IM Spectrum measurement application (option 087). See IM Spectrum Calibration.

  • NFX

Specifies a noise figure calibration. This is to be used with the PNA Noise Figure for Converters measurement application (option 083). See Noise Fixture (NFX) Calibration.

  • Noise

Specifies a noise figure calibration. This is to be used with the PNA Noise Figure measurement application, scalar and vector noise are supported. See Noise Calibration.

  • Power

Specifies power calibration only (no S-Parameters). See Source Power Calibration.

  • SParam

Specifies an S-Parameter calibration (without power). See S Parameter Calibration.

  • SParamWithPower

Specifies an S-Parameter calibration with power. See S Parameter with Power Calibration.

  • SpectrumAnalyzer

Specifies a Spectrum Analyzer calibration. This is to be used with the PNA Spectrum Analyzer measurement application (option 090). See Spectrum Analyzer Calibration.

  • SweptIMD

Specifies a Swept Intermodulation Distortion calibration. This is to be used with the PNA Swept IMD measurement application (option 087). See SweptIMD Calibration.

  • TransmissionResponse

Specifies a transmission response calibration. This is a custom calibration procedure unique to ATE Systems. See Transmission Response Calibration.

Prior to executing a calibration, the measurement class is checked and verified to be correct for the type of calibration being executed.

See the documentation provided by Keysight on using measurement applications.
