26. Frequency Response (Preamp On): Agilent E4402B
calibration factor of the reference sensor at 1 MHz.
4. On the power meter, set the Channel B calibration factor to 100%.
Do not change this calibration factor during this test.
5. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 2-38. Use the function
generator as the source. Note that the reference sensor connects to
the 20 dB fixed attenuator.

6. Set the function generator frequency to 1 MHz and amplitude to
450 mV rms (approximately 6 dBm).
7. Adjust the source amplitude to obtain a Channel A power meter
reading of –20 dBm ±0.1 dB.
8. Record the Channel A and Channel B power meter readings in
Table 2-60.
9. Tune the source to the next frequency in Table 2-60.
10.On the power meter, set the Channel A calibration factor to the
calibration factor of the reference sensor for the current source
frequency.
11.Adjust the source amplitude to obtain a Channel A power meter
reading of –20 dBm ±0.1 dB.
12.Record the Channel A and Channel B power meter readings in
Table 2-60.
13.Repeat step 9 through step 12 for frequencies up through 10 MHz.
14.Replace the function generator with the synthesized sweeper.
