Description
Item #: SM-PL
Manufacturer: Anritsu
Series: SM/PL
SM-PL by Anritsu is a Precision Load in the SM/PL series. SM-PL features a Type N male Connector and a Frequency Range of DC to 4 GHz.
The SM/PL Precision Load designed by Anritsu has a frequency range covering DC to 4 GHz. The DC resistance of this model is 50 ± 0.25 Ohm. The return loss is 42 dB. The connector type for the SM/PL Precision Load is N male. The suggested pieces of test equipment to complete verification procedures for the SM/PL are: the Anritsu 37247D or 37347D vector network analyzer, the SC6650 calibration kit, the 34NKF50 adapter, the 34NFKF50 adapter, and the 34401A digital multi-meter.
Prior to starting the VNA calibration procedure, it is recommended to let the VNA warm up for at least one hour. Then, install the correct adapter to the VNA port 1, so the test port has a connector that can mate to the Precision Load. For example, with the SM/PL Precision Load the 34NFKF50 is recommended. After this step, insert the Calibration Component Coefficients disk of the SC6650 into the floppy drive on the VNA. Load the Cal Kit Coefficients disk into the VNA. Press Utility Menu, Cal Component Utilities, and install the data from the floppy disk. To reset the VNA, press the Default Program button. Next, press the BeginCal button and set the calibration as described in the maintenance manual of the SM/PL Precision Load. Lastly, START CAL can be chosen on screen and the prompts can be followed. Link the correct calibration requirements to finish the calibration.
Other than the VNA calibration procedure, there are also return loss verification and DC resistance verification procedures that can be performed on the Anritsu SM/PL Precision Load as well.
