Abstract
We describe the system-level calibration of a vector signal analyzer operating in the 28 GHz frequency band, including the determination of uncertainties in the magnitude and phase of measurements of a traceably characterized calibration waveform. We then apply the IEEE 1765-2022 measurement comparison approach to evaluate the uncertainty in error vector magnitude of the vector signal analyzer using an equivalent-time sampling oscilloscope with traceable calibration as the reference receiver. Additional measurements are demonstrated with a large-signal network analyzer.Citation
