*Attenuations > dial settings are positive (+). Attenuations < dial settings are negative ( - ). For example, 9.99 dB
calibration for a
10 dB attenuator setting represents an error of - 0.01 dB.
I
To compute corrected deviation for each setting, add step attenuator error to amplitude deviation. Cor-
rected deviation should not exceed
5 1.0 dB between any two adjacent INPUT ATTEN setting.
dB Maximum Error per 10-dB Step
Record maximum positive and maximum negative corrected deviation values. Difference between these
two values (maximum cumulative step error) should not exceed
2.4 dB.
