Understanding Calibration Correction

Each RF signal generator hardware module (the AWG module and the upconverter module) is calibrated individually, and the uncertainty due to matching two devices is taken into consideration when specifying power level accuracy of the NI RF signal generator.

 Note  Refer to the printed specifications document that shipped with your device for detailed RF signal generator specifications.

This section discusses the three areas of upconverter module calibration: IF passband calibration, RF flatness calibration, and temperature coefficient determination.

 Caution  Factory calibration is invalidated if the RF enclosure is opened. To preserve guaranteed calibration, do not disassemble the NI 5610 RF enclosure.
