Tektronix RSA5106B Technical Reference

Performance Verification
9. Calculate the A
bsolute Amplitude Accuracy:
Delta = RSA5100B reading - Power Meter reading
Readings are in dBm, error is in dB.
10. Record the Absolute Amplitude Error in the test record. (Limits are shown in
the test record.)
11. Repeat steps 6 through 10 for frequency spans of 1 MHz and 41 MHz (Option
B40, B85, and B16x).
Absolute Accuracy at
Calibration Point, LF path
1. Connect the RF generator, power splitter, power meter, and RSA5100B.
(See Figure 10.)
2. Reset the RSA5100B to factory defaults: select Setup > Preset (Main).
3. Select Tools > Alignments and select Align Now.
4. Set the RSA5100B:
Reference Level
Setup > A mplitude > Internal Settings > Ref Level
–20 dBm
Center Frequency
Setup > Settings > Center
10 MHz
Span
Setup > Settings > Freq & Span > Span
1MHz
LF Path
Setup > Acquire > Input Params
Use Low Freq signal path checked
5. Set the RF Generator:
Output Frequency
10 MHz
Output Level
–14 dBm
RF
On
6. Select the Peak key on the Markers control bar to set the Reference Marker
(MR) to the carrier peak.
7. Record the reading on the Power Meter and on the RSA5100B marker
amplitude.
8. Calculate the Absolute Amplitude Accuracy:
Delta = RSA5100B reading - Power Meter reading
Readings are in dBm, error is in dB.
9. Record the Absolute Amplitude Error in the test record. (Limits are shown in
the test record.)
