Procedure
Test Setup Characterization
1. Turn on the 10 MHz Reference Standard, the ML2438A Power Meter, the MG3692X Signal Generator,
and the MS20XXB VNA Master.
2. Install the 34RKNF50 Adapter to the MG3692X Signal Generator output and then connect the
15NN50-1.5C Cable to the 34RKNF50 Adapter.
3. Connect the Power Splitter to the open end of the 15NN50-1.5C Cable.
4. Connect Sensor B to one of the Power Splitter outputs
Note Before continuing, allow a 30-minute warm up period for the internal circuitry to stabilize.
