Sweep trigger
Set to either continuous, single, group sweep, or
external trigger. Set external trigger to take a com-
plete sweep or to measure individual points in a
frequency, power or list sweep.
Power
Set source power from -20 to +5 dBm for the
8753ET
1
or from -85 to +10 dBm for the 8753ES
2
.
Power slope can be set in dBm/GHz.
Power Meter Calibration
Select continuous leveling or use a correction table
to modify source power. The correction table is
created with an initial single sweep. Make single or
multiple power meter readings at each frequency.
Data Accuracy Enhancement
Measurement calibration
Measurement calibration significantly reduces
measurement uncertainty due to errors caused
by system directivity, source and load match,
tracking, and crosstalk. Full two-port calibration
removes all the systematic errors to obtain the
most accurate measurements.
Calibration types available
• Frequency response
Simultaneous magnitude and phase correction
of frequency response errors for either reflec-
tion or transmission measurements.
• Response and isolation
Compensates for frequency response and direc-
tivity (reflection) or frequency response and
crosstalk errors.
• Enhanced response calibration
Corrects for frequency response and source
match for transmission measurements, and
provides one-port calibration for reflection
measurements.
• One-port calibration
Uses test set port 1 or port 2 to correct for
directivity, frequency response and source
match errors.
• Two-port calibration
Compensates for directivity, source match,
reflection frequency response, load match,
transmission frequency response and crosstalk
for an S-parameter test set. Crosstalk calibration
can be omitted. Available on 8753ES analyzers.
• TRL*/LRM* calibration
Compensates for directivity, reflection and
transmission frequency response, and crosstalk
in both the forward and reverse directions.
Especially suitable for calibrating non-
coaxial environments, such as in test fixtures.
TRL*/LRM* is a special implementation of
TRL/LRM calibration, modified for the three-
sampler receiver in the 8753ES. Available
on Agilent 8753ES analyzers.
Interpolated error correction
With any type of accuracy enhancement applied,
interpolated mode recalculates the error coeffi-
cients when the test frequencies are changed. The
number of points can be increased or decreased
and the start/stop frequencies can be changed, but
the resulting frequency span must be a subset of
the original calibration frequency span. System
performance is not specified for measurements
with interpolated error correction applied.
Velocity factor
Enters the velocity factor to calculate equivalent
electrical length.
Reference plane extension
Redefine the plane-of-measurement reference to other
than port 1 or port 2 of the 8753ET and 8753ES.
Select default calibration kit
Select from a list of standard calibration kits or
choose a user-defined kit.
Data Averaging
IF bandwidth
The IF bandwidth is selectable from 6 kHz to 10 Hz.
Weighted sweep-to-sweep averaging
Averages vector data on each successive sweep.
Trace smoothing
Computes the moving average of adjacent data
points. Smoothing aperture defines the trace
width (number of points) to be averaged, and
ranges from 0.25% to 20% of the trace width.
Display Control
Display formats
Single-channel, dual-channel overlay (both traces
on one graticule), dual-channel split (each trace
on separate graticules), three-channel split (each
trace on separate graticules), three-channel overlay
(three traces on one graticule), quad-channel over-
lay (four traces on one graticule), quad-channel
split (each trace on separate graticules).
1. -85 to +5 dBm with Option 004.
2. +8 dBm maximum with Option 075 or 014.
