Performance Verification Tests
39. Residual Responses
been checked for the model and frequency ranges below.
6. Press Single and wait for a new sweep to finish. Look for any residual 
responses at or above the display line.
If a residual is suspected, press Single again. A residual response 
will persist on successive sweeps, but a noise peak will not. Record 
the frequency and amplitude of any residual responses above the 
display line in Table 2-91.
7. Press FREQUENCY, Center Freq, ↑.
If there are any residuals at or near the frequency specification 
limits (1 MHz, 1.5 GHz, 3 GHz, or 6.7 GHz), it is recommended that 
a known frequency source be used as a frequency marker. This will 
ensure that testing is done at or below the specification limits.
8. Record the highest residual from Table 2-91 as Test Record entry 1 
in the performance verification test record. If no residuals are found, 
then record “N/A” in the performance verification test record.
