Up to 4 independent logical channels. Each logical channel is represented on the screen as an
individual channel window. A logical channel is defined by such stimulus signal settings as
frequency range, number of test points, power level, etc.
Up to 8 data traces can be displayed in each channel window. A data trace represents one of
such parameters of the DUT as S-parameters, response in time domain, input power response.
Each of the 8 data traces can be saved into memory for further comparison with the current

A frequency sweep within several independent user-defined segments. Frequency range,
number of sweep points, source power, and IF bandwidth should be set for each segment.
Source power from –55 dBm to +3 dBm with resolution of 0.05 dB. In frequency sweep mode the
power slope can be set to up to 2 dB/GHz for compensation of high frequency attenuation in
connection wires.

Defining of calibration standards
Error correction interpolation
Calibration of a test setup (which includes the Analyzer, cables, and adapters) significantly
increases the accuracy of measurements. Calibration allows for correction of the errors caused
by imperfections in the measurement system: system directivity, source and load match,
tracking and isolation.
The following calibration methods of various sophistication and accuracy enhancement level
are available:
-reflection and transmission normalization;
-full one-port calibration;
-One-path two-port calibration.
The simplest calibration method. It provides low accuracy.
The factory calibration of the Analyzer allows for reduction of measurement error in reflection
and transmission normalization.
Method of calibration performed for one-port reflection measurements. It ensures high
accuracy.
Method of calibration performed for reflection and one-way transmission measurements. It
ensures high accuracy for reflection measurements, and mean accuracy for transmission
measurements.
The user can select one of the predefined calibration kits of various manufacturers or define own
calibration kits.
Electronic calibration modules offered by PLANAR make the Analyzer calibration faster and
easier than traditional mechanical calibration.
Different methods of calibration standard defining are available:
- standard defining by polynomial model;
- standard defining by data (S-parameters).
When the user changes such settings as start/stop frequencies and number of sweep
points, compared to the settings at the moment of calibration, interpolation or extrapolation of
the calibration coefficients will be applied.

Supplemental Calibration Methods
Power calibration
Method of calibration, which allows more stable maintaining of the power level
setting at the DUT input. An external power meter should be connected directly, or via a
USB/GPIB adapter, to a USB port of the computer running the analyzer software.

Data Analysis
Port impedance conversion
De-embedding
Embedding
S-parameter conversion
Time domain transformation
Time domain gating
The function of conversion of the S-parameters measured at 50 W port into the values, which
could be determined if measured at a test port with arbitrary impedance.
The function allows to mathematically exclude from the measurement result the effect of the
fixture circuit connected between the calibration plane and the DUT. This circuit should be
described by an S-parameter matrix in a Touchstone file.
The function allows to mathematically simulate the DUT parameters after virtual integration of a
fixture circuit between the calibration plane and the DUT. This circuit should be described by an
S-parameter matrix in a Touchstone file.
The function allows conversion of the measured S-parameters to the following parameters:
reflection impedance and admittance, transmission impedance and admittance, and inverse Sparameters.
The function performs data transformation from frequency domain into response of the DUT to
various stimulus types in time domain. Modeled stimulus types: bandpass, lowpass impulse,
and lowpass step. Time domain span is set by the user arbitrarily from zero to maximum, which
is determined by the frequency step. Windows of various forms are used for better tradeoff
between resolution and level of spurious side lobes.
The function mathematically removes unwanted responses in time domain what allows for
obtaining frequency response without influence from the fixture elements. The function applies
reverse transformation back to frequency domain after cutting out the user-defined span in time
domain. Gating filter types: bandpass or notch. For better tradeoff between gate resolution and
level of spurious side lobes the following filter shapes are available: maximum, wide, normal and
minimum.
Mixer / Converter Measurements
Scalar mixer / converter measurements
The scalar method allows measuring magnitude only of transmission coefficient of mixer and
other frequency translating devices.
The scalar method employs port frequency offset when there is difference between source port
frequency and receiver port frequency.
Scalar mixer / converter calibration
The most accurate method of calibration applied for measurements of mixers in frequency offset mode.
The OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD calibration standards are used. An external power meter should be
connected directly, or via a USB/GPIB adapter to a USB port of the computer running the Analyzer
software.
Automatic frequency offset adjustment
The function performs automatic frequency offset adjustment when the scalar mixer /
converter measurements are performed to compensate for internal LO setting in
accuracy in the DUT.
