AIF Variable Attenuator Algorithm
Measures the gain in all settings of the A-IF
1 dB step attenuator. A reference power is
measured with atten 4 dB
The Comb calibrator on A-IF is used to provide
a CW signal.
A2 Analog IF
AIF 140 Variable Gain Alignment Algorithm
(Option B1X)
The 300 MHz CW calibration signal on this WB
Analog IF assembly is used.
Searches for the DAC value that gives the
closest power level to the target level.
DAC value 0 gives the highest gain; value 255
gives the lowest gain
A25 Wideband A-IF
Mechanical Attenuator Algorithm
Measures the attenuation of all DC coupled,
and one AC coupled (10 dB) settings of the RF
input attenuators.
Reference atten setting is 10 dB
A9 and A10 RF
Input Attenuators
50 MHz calibrator on A16
Reference
Electrical Attenuator Algorithm
Each setting from 0 to 24 dB in steps of 1 dB is
measured. The reference condition is electrical
attenuator set to 0 dB and RF input attenuators
set to 10 dB. (Option EA3)
