7. INSTACAL MODULE VERIFICATION
This test verifies the performance of the Anritsu Site
Master InstaCal Calibration Module. The InstaCal
Module, part number ICN50, is an optional acces
-
sory for the S113C, S331C, and S115BQ.
NOTE
Full verification of the InstaCal module over
its entire frequency range (2 - 4000 MHz) re
-
quires both an S113C (or S115BQ) and an
S331C Site Master. However, limited verifica
-
tion is possible with either instrument for the
frequency range of that instrument only. The
frequency range of the S113C and S115BQ is 2
to 1600 MHz. The frequency range of the
S331C is 25 to 4000 MHz.
a. Equipment Required:
·
InstaCal Module, part number ICN50
· 20 dB offset, Anritsu SC5270
· 6 dB offset, Anritsu SC5237
b. Procedure
NOTE
If performing full verification over the entire
frequency range with both an S113C (or
S115BQ) and an S331C Site Master, perform
this procedure first on the S113C (or S115BQ)
and then on the S331C.
1. Press and hold the
ESCAPE/CLEAR key,
then press the
ON/OFF key to turn on the
Site Master. (This sets the instrument to
the factory preset state.)
NOTE
Before continuing, allow a five minute warm
up for the internal circuitry to stabilize.
2. Press the
MODE soft key.
3. Use the Up/Down Arrow key to highlight
RETURN LOSS, then press ENTER.
4. Press the
START CAL key. The message
“CONNECT OPEN or InstaCal TO RF
Out PORT” will appear in the display.
5. Connect the InstaCal module to the RF
Out port and press the
ENTER key.
NOTE
If this particular InstaCal module has been
used to calibrate this Site Master before, the
Site Master senses the familiar InstaCal mod
-
ule and automatically calibrates the unit us
-
ing the OSL procedure.
If the Site Master senses that the character
-
ization data for the InstaCal module connected
to this Site Master is different than the one
currently stored, it will display soft key op
-
tions to keep or replace the InstaCal charac
-
terization data.
Selecting the
YES soft key transfers all of the
characterization data from this InstaCal mod
-
ule to the Site Master. The transfer may take
up to three minutes. This option is preferred if
this InstaCal module is to stay with this par
-
ticular Site Master. Once completed, the data
will not need to be transfered again for this
combination of Site Master and InstaCal mod-
ule.
Selecting the
NO soft key will temporarily
transfer only the portion of the characteriza-
tion data necessary for this particular calibra-
tion. This transfer takes aproximately 30 to 60
seconds, and will have to be repeated every
time a calibration is done using this combina-
tion of Site Master and InstaCal module.
6. Verify that the calibration has been prop
-
erly performed by checking that the
CAL
ON!
message is displayed in the upper
left corner of the display.
7. Remove the InstaCal module from the
RF Out port and connect the 20 dB Off
-
set to the RF Out port.
8. Measure the return loss of the 20 dB Off
-
set. The level should be 20 dB, ±2dB
across the calibrated frequency range.
9. Remove the 20 dB Offset from the RF
Out port and connect the 6 dB Offset to
the RF Out port.
10. Measure the return loss of the 6 dB Off
-
set. The level should be 6 dB, ±1.2 dB
across the calibrated frequency range.
