Agilent Technologies HP 83711A - To Use External Diode Detector Leveling

T
o
Use
External
Diode
Detector Leveling
External
diode detector
leveling is
useful
when
you
desire
leveled
RF
output
power
from the
synthesizer at
a
point
other
than
the
RF
OUTPUT
connector
.
External
diode detector
leveling uses
the following
external
equipment.
Equipment Requirements
Diode
Detector
Must
be
specied
for
use
at
the
desired
synthesizer
output
frequenc
y.
Must
produce
greater
than
1
mv
of
AL
C
voltage
for
the
power
levels
present
at
the
sampling
point.
Detector
can
be
either
positive
or
negative
.
P
ower
Splitter
or
Directional
Coupler
Must
be
specied
for
use
at
the
desired synthesizer
output
frequency
.
P
ower
Meter
(optional)
None
.
P
ower
Sensor
(optional)
Must
be
capable
of
measuring power
at
the
frequenc
y
and
level
present
at
the
sampling
point
in
the
leveling
loop
.
Cables
and
Adapters
Y
ou
must
supply
the
cables
and
adapters
necessary
to
connect
the
equipment.
N
O
T
E
The
power meter
and power
sensor
are
not
required,
but
are
helpful
when
adjusting
the
synthesizer
output
power for
the desired
power
level
at
the
output.
