Performance Verification Tests
15. Reference Level Accuracy: Agilent E4402B, E4403B, E4404B, E4405B, E4407B, and
E4408B.

performance test record.

The following is an example for –30 dBm reference level:

Log Scale, Digital Bandwidths, Option 1DR

NOTE If the analyzer is an E4404B/E4405B/E4407B that is not equipped with

Option 1DR (narrow resolution bandwidths) or an E4403B/E4408B

(with or without Option 1DR), skip to the next section (Linear Scale,

Analog Bandwidths).

7. On the analyzer, press the following keys:

SPAN, 150 Hz
BW/Avg, 10 Hz
Video BW, 1 Hz

8. Set the 1 dB step attenuator to set the signal peak 1 to 3 divisions

below the reference level.
