5Check to see if the analyzer is phase locking to the external CW signal:
•If the analyzer displays any phase lock error messages, write “unlock” in the
“Performance Test Record” for the set CW signal.
•If the analyzer does not display any phase lock error messages, write “lock”
in the “Performance Test Record” for the set CW signal.
6On the external source, press CW, 50, MHz/µ.
7On the analyzer, press 50, M/µ.
8Repeat Step 5 through Step 7 for the other external source CW frequencies
listed in the “Performance Test Record.” For analyzers with Option 006, change
the power sensor to the Agilent8481A for frequencies above 4 GHz.
In Case of
Difficulty
1Be sure the external source power is set within 0 to –25 dBm.
2Make sure the analyzer’s “Ext Source Auto" feature is selected. In addition,
verify that the analyzer is set to measure its input channel R.
3Verify that all connections are tight.
