System Configuration

The basic 8510C measurement system configura- tion needed for test port flatness correction is shown in Figure 1. A single channel power meter such as the Agilent 437B, E4418A, or E4418B is required, along with a compatible sensor, for per- forming the power flatness calibration. Power meters with the 437B command set must be used for the power level flatness correction.

The Agilent 8511B frequency converter test

set may be used with the test port power flatness- correction feature. The range of the test port power is determined by the available power of the 8360 source and the insertion loss of the com- ponents added to the measurement system.
