Reference Level Accuracy
Linear Mode Procedure
1. Set the power level on the synthesized sweeper to –30 dBm.
2. Set the analyzer by pressing the following keys:
Sweep, Sweep (Cont)
AMPLITUDE, –30 dBm (50 Ω Input)
AMPLITUDE, +21.76 dBmV (75 Ω Input)
Scale Type (Lin)
AMPLITUDE, More 1 of 2, Amptd Units, dBm (50 Ω Input)
AMPLITUDE, More 1 of 2, Amptd Units, dBmV (75 Ω Input)
Marker, Off
3. Adjust the amplitude on the synthesized sweeper until the marker
amplitude on the analyzer reads –30 dBm +/– 0.10 dB. Enter the
synthesized sweeper power level as the Synthesized Sweeper
Amplitude reference in Table 3-5 on page 3-36.
NOTE Under these analyzer conditions, the sweep time is 1.7 seconds.
Therefore, the marker amplitude updates are fairly slow when
adjusting the synthesizer output power.
