Creating User Flatness Arrays
Creating a user flatness array for use in a scalar analysis measurement
To

up
 
the
 
sweeper
1. Connect equipment as shown in Figure 5-2. Do not connect the power
sensor to the system yet.
2. Press (PRESET) on the scalar analyzer (HP 8757).
3. If a frequency range other than the full range of the instrument is desired,
use the 
m
 and 
CsTopl
 keys on the sweeper to input the desired
frequency range.
4. If external cables and/or devices are used between the sweeper leveling
point (the RF OUTPUT if interrmlly  leveled, or the coupler/splitter output
if externally leveled) and the remote test port, the nominal (average) loss
of these components should be entered as an offset. To enter the power
offset, press 
@iYWj
 OFFSET (in the POWER key group) and then enter the
nominal loss from the leveling point of the sweeper to the test port. (For
example, if there is a 6 
dB
 loss from the leveling point to the remote test
port, enter a power offset of 
+6
 
dB.)
5. Set the power level to the level desired at the tat port by pressing
(POWER LEVEL] and entering the desired number.
6.

1. On the analyzer, set up the appropriate measurement (i.e. gain for an
amplifier). Calibrate the measurement (thru and short/open calibration).
Press
