Set the generator to apply a 50 MHz sine wave with a peak-to-peak amplitude of about
4 divisions.
• Use the following table to determine the approximate required signal amplitude.
The amplitude values in the table below are not absolutely required. If your generator is
unable to produce the recommended amplitude, then set the generator to the highest
value that does not produce a vertically clipped signal on the scope.

Measure the input power to the scope channel and convert this measurement to Volts
RMS using the expression:
For example, if the power meter reading is 4.0 µW, then Vin = (4.0*10
-6
* 50Ω)
1/2
= 14.1 mVrms.
Record the RMS voltage in the Analog Bandwidth - Maximum Frequency Check section of the
Performance Test Record (Vin @ 50 MHz).
