Calibration Data Required for Step A
ttenuator
The four performance tests listed b elo
w measure the analyzer's performance against a kno
wn
standard (the atten
uation v
alues at a frequency 50 MHz
of the 8496G Opt. 001 and H60 step
attenuators).

11. Magnitude Ratio/Phase Dynamic Accuracy Test
14. Amplitude FidelityTest
15. Input Attenuator Switching UncertaintyTest
These tests require the calibrated values of the attenuators listed in Table 1-3. The
attenuation values (referenced to 0 dB setting) are required in the calculation sheet. The
attenuation values used in the tests are listed in each calculation sheet.
