45. Tracking Generator Harmonic Spurious
Outputs: Agilent E4401B and E4411B
(Option 1DN or 1DQ)
The measurement for tracking generator harmonic spurious outputs
determines the maximum level of tracking generator harmonics. The
tracking generator output is connected to the input of a microwave
analyzer, then tuned to several different frequencies as the amplitude of
the second and third harmonics relative to the fundamental are
measured at each frequency.
There are no related adjustment procedures for this performance test.
Equipment Required
Microwave analyzer
Cable, Type-N, 62 cm (24 in)
Cable, BNC to BNC, 23 cm (9 in)
Adapter, Type-N (m) to BNC (f)
Additional Equipment Required for Option 1DQ
50 Ω to 75 Ω Minimum loss pad
Adapter, Type-N (f) to BNC (m), 75 Ω
Procedure
CAUTION Use only 75 Ω cables, connectors, or adapters on instruments with 75 Ω
connectors or damage to the connectors will occur.
NOTE The following steps are for an Agilent 8563E microwave analyzer, the
steps may be different if you are using another microwave analyzer.
1. Connect the 10 MHz reference output from the microwave analyzer
to the 10 MHz reference input of the analyzer as shown in Figure
2-65.
