Agilent 8753ET System Verification and Performance Tests
3. Reflection Test Port Output Power Level Accuracy
Perform this test to confirm the accuracy of the 8753ET test port output power. A power
meter is used to determine the output power level from the reflection port for selected CW
frequencies. This measurement is compared to the level set by the network analyzer. The
difference must be within the specified tolerance.
Analyzer warm-up time: 30 minutes
