5.9 Bandwidth
5.9.1 Description
The purpose of this test is to ensure that the entire system has a bandwidth of at
least 2 GHz for a WaveRunner 6200, 1 GHz for a WaveRunner 6100, 500 MHz for a
WaveRunner 6050 or 6051 and 350 MHz for a WaveRunner 6030. An external
source is used as the reference to provide a signal where amplitude and frequency
are well controlled. The HP8648B may be used when testing the lower bandwidth
scopes.
The amplitude of the generator and cable as a function of frequency and power is
calibrated using an HP8482A sensor on an HP437B power meter or equivalent.
Note: If a leveled generator is used then the corrections needed by using the power
meter may not be necessary.
