U9361C/F/G/M RCal Measurement Guide 65
Making Measurements
Using RCal Directly from the 89600 VSA
Comparing Amplitude Accuracy using RCal vs. a Power Sensor
Compatible Signal Generators
— N517xB (all EXG)*
— N518xB (all MXG)*
— N519xA (all UXG)
* All models of EXG and MXG can be used by reducing the Frequency in the
measurements below to be within the capabilities of your signal generator.
This measurement example compares the absolute amplitude accuracy after
an RCal calibration compared to a calibration done using a power sensor. In
this case, we used the U5532C sensor module, but this demonstration can be
done with other types of sensor modules and power meters.
On the Signal Analyzer
1. Select Mode/Meas > Spectrum Analyzer Mode > OK.
2. Select Mode > Mode Preset to set the analyzer to a known state.
If accessing the instrument via a Remote Desktop connection, select the
Screen tab (at the top left of the display) to open the
Mode/Measurement/View Selector window.
