35. Displayed Average Noise Level: Agilent E4401B and E4411B
Generator) installed and the minimum RBW is 100 Hz or 10 Hz,
continue with step 10.
6. If the analyzer has a minimum RBW of 1 kHz or has Option 1DN or
1DQ (1.5 GHz Tracking Generator) installed then continue with step
7.
7. On the analyzer, press the following keys:
AMPLITUDE, Attenuation, 0 dB
SPAN, 20 kHz
BW/Avg, Res BW, 1 kHz
BW/Avg, Video BW, 30 Hz
8. On the analyzer, press Single, Peak Search (or Search) and record the
amplitude reading below as Meas Amptd(1 kHz RBW).
Meas Amptd (1 kHz RBW) ____________ dBm (50 Input only)
Meas Amptd (1 kHz RBW) ____________ dBmv (75 Input only)
9. Calculate the necessary reference level offset by subtracting the
Meas Amptd in step 8 from the Ref Amptd in step 4. If the calculated
Ref Lvl Offset is greater than 0.05 dB or less than –0.05 dB, record
the Ref Lvl Offset value below. Otherwise, enter 0.
Ref Lvl Offset (1 kHz RBW)____________ dB
10.If the analyzer is not equipped with Option 1DR, continue with step
14.
11.On the analyzer, press the following keys:
AMPLITUDE, Attenuation, 0 dB
SPAN, 500 Hz
BW/Avg, Res BW, 10 Hz (E4401B)
BW/Avg, Res BW, 100 Hz (E4411A)
BW/Avg, Video BW, 1 Hz
12.On the analyzer, press Single, Peak Search (or Search) and record the
amplitude reading below as Meas Amptd (100 Hz/10 Hz RBW).
Meas Amptd (100 Hz/10 Hz RBW) ____________ dBm (50 Input
only)
Meas Amptd (100 Hz/10 Hz RBW) ____________ dBmv (75 Input
only)
13.Calculate the necessary reference level offset by subtracting the
Meas Amptd in step 12 from the Ref Amptd in step 4. If the
calculated Ref Lvl Offset is greater than 0.05 dB or less than –0.05
dB, record the Ref Lvl Offset value below. Otherwise, enter 0.
