Test Description
To test second harmonic distortion, a 50 MHz low pass filter is used to
filter the source output, ensuring that harmonics read by the analyzer
are internally generated and not coming from the source. The source
power and input attenuation on the analyzer are adjusted so –20 dBm
is the power level at the first mixer.
