R&S FSH  Performance Test Tracking Generator 
1145.5973.82 1.11  E-11 
Performance Test Tracking Generator 
(Model 1145.5973.13, 1145.5973.23 or 1145.5973.26 only) 
 
Checking output level / frequency response 
Test equipment:  - N cable (refer to section "Measurement Equipment and Accessories“, 
item 5) 
  Frequency  up to 3 GHz 
  Maximum attenuation  < 0.2 dB 
 
Test setup:   Connect the tracking generator output to the RF input of the R&S FSH.
R&S FSH settings: 
- [ PRESET ] 
- [ MEAS: TRACKING GENERATOR ] 
- [ AMPT : REF: 10 dB ] 
- [ FREQ : START FREQ 10 MHz ] 
 
In the model 1145.5973.23 the output level of the tracking generator can 
be set to 0 dBm. Check the output level also with this setting: 
 
- [ PRESET ] 
- [ MEAS: TRACKING GENERATOR ] 
- [ Output Level : 0 dBm ] 
- [ AMPT : REF: 10 dB ] 
 
In the FSH6 the output level of the tracking generator is measured with 
two different frequency settings : 
1)  
- [ FREQ : START FREQ 10 MHz ] 
- [ FREQ : STOP FREQ 3 GHz ] 
 
2)  
- [ FREQ : START FREQ 3 GHz ] 
- [ FREQ : STOP FREQ 6 GHz ] 
 
Measurement:  Tune the marker to the maximum level of the trace. 
- [MARKER: <tune the marker> ] 
Read out the marker level. 
Tune the marker to the minimum value of the trace.
