2 Testing Performance
To verify bandwidth (-3 dB)
This test checks the bandwidth (-3 dB) of the oscilloscope. In this test you will use
a signal generator and a power meter.
1 Connect the equipment (see Figure 3).
a Use the N cable to connect the signal generator to the input of the power
splitter input.
b Connect the power sensor to one output of the power splitter.
c Use an N-to-BNC adapter to connect the other splitter output to the
channel 1 input using a 50 ohm feedthrough terminator at the oscilloscope
input BNC.
