Agilent 8753ES System Verification and Performance Tests
4. Test Port Output Power Linearity
This test verifies the analyzer’s test port output power linearity throughout the analyzer’s
frequency range. A power meter calibration is used to set the reference output power
across the frequency range of the analyzer. The analyzer’s B-channel receiver is used to
determine power linearity after each change in output power.
NOTE This test does not verify the functionality of the step attenuator. To verify its
function, go to “Step 2. Operator's Check” on page 4-6.
Analyzer warm-up time: 30 minutes
