Advanced System Calibration

This section focuses on calibrating or characterizing your RF test setup to achieve better accuraccy and less variation on your measurements.

All RF setups must be calibrated in order to achieve correct measurements.

This document describes an advance procedure to calibrate the RF system using a power meter as reference.

The included code requires the RF Test Reference Architecture (niBasic).
