Procedure
1. Record the step attenuator 50 MHz calibration values in the calculation sheet (\Calibration
Value" column).
2. Connect the test equipment as shown in Figure 2-21.
Note
Connect the signal generator's 10 MHz frequency reference output to the
HP 4395A EXT REF Input on the rear panel as shown in Figure 2-21 . With this
conguration, both the signal generator and the HP 4395A are phase locked to
the same reference frequency to obtain a stable measurement.
