To level externally:
1. Set up the equipment as shown. For this example, the
detector/coupler setup is used.
2. Refer to menu map 1.
3. Press

(dB(m)).
Note
Power splitters have a coupling factor of 0 dB.
Figure 1-12 shows the input power versus output voltage
characteristics for typical HP diode detectors. From the chart,
the leveled power at the diode detector input resulting from any
external level voltage setting may be determined. The range of power
adjustment is approximately -30
dBm
to
+18
dBm.
Hint
Automatically characterize and compensate for the detector used
by performing a detector calibration. Refer to “Using Detector
Calibration” in the “Optimizing Swept CW Generator Performance”
section.
