2.
Connect the signal output to the spectrum analyzer
50R
input.
3.
Set the spectrum analyzer controls to display the fundamental
and at least four harmonics. Verify that
all
harmonics are at
least
25
dB below the fundamental.
4.
Set the
HP
E1440A
to
15
MHz
OUTPUT Vxi;":FREq 1.5E7"
and verify that all harmonics are at least
25
dB below the
fundamental.
