Periodic System Component Calibration
A complete calibration verifies that the system components meet their
individual performance specifications.
The calibration interval depends on the level of system use. Agilent
Technologies recommends an initial cycle of 6 to 12 months. Thereafter,
adjust the cycle based on the recalibration results.
A complete system calibration consists of the following tests:
• Agilent E8364B PNA Series vector network analyzer performance tests
*
• Agilent 4156C precision semiconductor parameter analyzer performance
verification
†
• Agilent E5260A/70B precision parametric measurement solution
performance verification
• Agilent 4284A precision LCR meter performance tests
• Agilent 35670A dynamic signal analyzer performance verification
• Agilent E5250A low leakage switch mainframe performance tests
See the individual instrument documentation for instructions on
performing the required instrument verification tests.
* Refer to the Agilent E8364B PNA Series vector network analyzer service guide for required performance tests.
The service guide (part number E8364-90026) is available at www.agilent.com in PDF format.
† Refer to the chapter titled “Performance Verification” in the Agilent 4156C precision semiconductor
parameter analyzer service guide, included with the Agilent 4156C documentation.
