Unknown Thru for Different Waveguide Bands• Calibrate each waveguide adapter with appropriate waveguide cal kit• Watch out for these potential problems:• Non-overlapping waveguide bands• Attenuation near cutoff may be too high for thru calibration• Undesired higher-order modes(longer adapters provide better attenuation for higher-order modes)1-port waveguide calsBand XBand YLong enough?Tapered orstepped adapterHigher cutoff frequencyAdvanced VNA Calibration© Agilent Technologies, Inc. 2006 Page M6- 29
