1DN or 1DQ)
47. Tracking Generator Non-Harmonic
Spurious Outputs: Agilent E4401B and E4411B
(Option 1DN or 1DQ)
This procedure determines the maximum level of the non-harmonic 
spurious outputs of the tracking generator. The tracking generator 
output is set to several different output frequencies. For each output 
frequency, several sweeps are taken on the microwave analyzer over 
different frequency spans and the highest displayed spurious response 
is measured in each span. Responses at the fundamental frequency of 
the tracking generator output or their harmonics are ignored. The 
amplitude of the highest spurious response is recorded.
There are no related adjustment procedures for this performance test.
