AVERAGE NOISE LEVEL TEST

CAUTION Make sure the 8349A Amplifier, used in the signal generator system for 11970A, Q and U tests, is set for external leveling before you turn it on. Failure to set this amplifier for external leveling may allow the amplifier output to rise about 20 dBm, which is high enough to damage the frequency tripler.

6.Disconnect the power sensor and connect the equipment as shown in Figure 3-1.

7.On the 8566A/B Spectrum Analyzer, set the controls as follows: For 11970K, A, Q or U:

SHIFT, DATA STEP [] KSU FREQUENCY SPAN 3, 0, MHz VIDEO BW, 1, 0, 0, Hz

RES BW, 1, 0, 0, kHz

For 11970V or W:

SHIFT, DATA STEP [] KSU FREQUENCY SPAN, 1, 0, 0, MHz VIDEO BW, 3, MHz

RES BW, 3, MHz

and CENTER FREQUENCY: For 11970K: 2, 2, GHz

For 11970A: 3, 3, GHz

For 11970Q: 4, 1, GHz

For 11970U: 5, 0,GHz

For 11970V: 6, 2,[.] 5, GHz

For 11970W: 9, 2,[.] 5,GHz

8.Press SHIFT and SWEEP, CONT, KSt.

9.Press CENTER FREQUENCY again and enter the appropriate center frequency as follows: For 11970K: 1, 8, GHz

For 11970A: 2, 6, [.] 5, GHz

For 11970Q: 3, 3, GHz

For 11970U: 4, 0, GHz
