Abstract:
A method of calibrating a measurement and analyzing device for measuring a frequency-converting device under test, comprises the steps of connecting a first port of the measurement and analyzing device with a radio frequency port assigned to the frequency-converting device under test as well as connecting a second port of the measurement and analyzing device with an intermediate frequency port assigned to the frequency-converting device under test. Further, a scalar-mixer calibration is performed at the radio frequency port and the intermediate frequency port, thus providing a precise calibration conversion amplitude. A relative calibration is performed between the radio frequency port and the intermediate frequency port by using a calibration mixer. At least one correction coefficient is determined by the difference between the results obtained from the scalar-mixer calibration and the relative calibration. The at least one correction coefficient is used to correct an error term applied.
