15. Turn On the RF of both MG3692x #1 and MG3692x #2.
16. Press the Shift key and then the Trace (5) key. Press Trace A Operations, and set # of Averages to 2.
17. After two sweeps have occurred (Trace Count 2/2 appears on the left of the display), turn on a marker, and
press Peak Search. Record the amplitude of the signal at 800.151 MHz in Table A-15, “Spectrum
Analyzer Third Order Intercept” on page A-15.
18. Change the center frequency of the S412E to 799.851 MHz.
19. After two sweeps have occurred (Trace Count 2/2 appears on the left of the display), turn on a marker, and
