Description
The slope of the flatness compensation amplifiers is determined. The user-loaded conversion
losses for K-band are recorded and reset to 30 dB. A 310.7 MHz signal is applied to the power
sensor and the power level of the source is adjusted for a -30
dBm
reading. The signal is then
applied to the IF INPUT. The flatness compensation amplifiers are then adjusted (via DACs)
to place the displayed signal at the reference level. Only the determination of the Flatness
Compensation Amplifier slope is performed if the HP 8560A has Option 002.
