Rohde & Schwarz FSP7 - Checking Reference Level Switching (if Gain)

R&S FSP Performance Test
1164.4556.82 1.17 E-1
Checking Reference Level Switching (IF Gain)
Test principle:
The IF gain of the R&S FSP can be switched from 0 to 50 dB by
changing the reference level at fixed RF attenuation. To prevent the IF
gain accuracy from being confused with the log amplifier accuracy, it
is determined by comparison using an external precision attenuator.
Test equipment:
- Signal generator (refer to "Measurement Equipment", item 3)
Frequency 128 MHz
Maximum level  -10 dBm
- Step attenuator (refer to "Measurement Equipment", item 11)
Frequency 128 MHz
Attenuation 0 to 60 dB in 1 dB steps
Attenuation accuracy < 0.1 dB

1
) If a step attenuator with lower accuracy is used, correction
of the measured attenuation is recommended.
Test setup:  Connect RF output of the signal generator to RF input of the step
attenuator.
