Description
A highly calibrated step attenuator is used in conjunction with a highly stable
signal source to provide a 50 MHz test signal of varying amplitudes to the PSA.
The PSA is placed in the Measuring Receiver mode, and the TRFL level
measurement is selected.
The step attenuator is set to 0 dB and a reference measurement is taken.
The step attenuator is stepped from 0 to -110 dB and the amplitude at each step
recorded.
The difference between the expected attenuation value as recorded on the step
attenuator calibration report, and the measured value, is the linearity accuracy.
NOTE For E4446A, E4447A and E4448A:
If the following procedure is modified to test at frequencies above 3.05 GHz, a
stabilization period is required for the Option 123, preselector bypass.
When performing measurements across the following frequency band breaks, a
single 10 minute stabilization period is required to meet specification after entering
the new frequency band.
Band breaks occur at the following frequencies:
Band 0 to Band 1 3.05 GHZ
Band 1 to Band 2 6.6 GHz
Band 2 to Band 3 13.2 GHz
Band 3 to Band 4 19.2 GHz
Band 4 to Band 5 26.8 GHz
Band 5 to Band 6 31.15 GHz
Band 6 to Band 7 41 GHz
