Agilent 8753ES System Verification and Performance Tests
2. External Source Mode Frequency Range
Perform this test to verify that the analyzer’s reference channel, R Channel In, is capable
of phase locking to an external CW signal. CW signals from an external source are fed into
the R channel input when the instrument is in external source mode. Proper phase lock
conditions are confirmed at a power level of −25 dBm.
Analyzer warm-up time: 30 minutes
