CALIBRATION PROCESS
6. Preliminary Instructions
a. Instructions outlined in paragraphs 6 and 7 are preparatory to the calibration
process. Personnel should become familiar with the entire bulletin before beginning the
calibration.
b. Items of equipment used in this procedure are referenced within the text by common
name as listed in table 1.
c. Unless otherwise specified, verify the result of each test and, whenever the test
requirement is not met, take corrective action before continuing with the calibration.
Additional maintenance information is contained in the manufacturer's manual for TI.
d. Unless otherwise specified, all controls and control settings refer to the TI.
e. Use of PIMAT controller automated tool is authorized for performing calibration in
lieu of this procedure and is available to authorized personnel with access to USATA
Intranet homepage: https://usata.redstone.army.mil/etbs/hp-vee_apps/PIMAT.exe.
7. Equipment Setup
a. Refer to TI as listed in appendix A and evaluate TI for connector type and
parameters. Determine and record at least 10 equally spaced frequency test points.
b. Perform paragraph 8 below for coaxial mismatches and terminations with frequency
test points from 10 MHz to 18 GHz.
c. Perform paragraph 9 below for coaxial isolators with frequency test points from
10 MHz to 18 GHz.
