Calibration Tests and Adjustment
Bandwidth
Bandwidth
This test checks the high-frequency response of the 1141A Differential Probe. The
bandwidth of the oscilloscope is characterized first so it is not a factor in the
measurement.
Specification (-3dB, dc coupled): dc to 200 MHz
Equipment Required
Procedure
This test depends on the accuracy of the termination on the test board and the
termination in the oscilloscope. Both should be with 1%.
1With the N cable and N-to-BNC adapter, connect the signal generator to the
oscilloscope channel 1 input.
2Set the signal generator for 200 MHz at 0 dBm (about 224 mVrms).
3Set the 1142A front panel switches to Local and Zero offset.
4On the oscilloscope press AUTOSCALE, then set the following parameters.
5The signal on screen should be about six divisions amplitude.
Measure the peak-to-peak voltage of the channel 1 signal and record the
reading.
Vp-p (1) = _____________ mV
