Description
The slope of the flatness compensation amplifiers is determined. The
user-loaded conversion losses for K-band are recorded and reset to
30 dB. A 310.7 MHz signal is applied to the power sensor and the power
level of the source is adjusted for a −30 dBm reading. The signal is then
applied to the IF INPUT. The flatness compensation amplifiers are then
adjusted (via DACs) to place the displayed signal at the reference level.
