Agilent 8753ES System Verification and Performance Tests
15. Harmonic Measurement Accuracy (Analyzers with Option 002)
This test verifies the network analyzer’s accuracy when operating in the harmonic
measurement mode (Option 002). Using a power splitter, an external source injects the
harmonic signal into both the analyzer’s receiver and the power meter. The analyzer’s
reading is compared to that of the power meter. The allowable difference is shown in the
“Specifications” table, below.
