Performance Verification Tests
47. Tracking Generator Non-Harmonic Spurious Outputs: Agilent E4401B and E4411B (Option
1DN or 1DQ)
FREQUENCY, 50 MHz
SPAN, Zero Span
BW/Avg, 30 kHz
Marker
Source, Amplitude On, 0 dBm
Source, Amplitude On, 42.76 dBmV (75 Ω Option only)
3. Set the microwave analyzer by pressing the following keys:
•SPAN, 100 kHz
•AMPLITUDE, 5 dBm
•AMPLITUDE, 0 dBm (75 Ω Option only)
•AMPLITUDE, ATTEN, 20 dB
•AMPLITUDE, LOG dB/DIV, 10 dB
4. Disconnect the Type-N cable from between the analyzer RF INPUT
and the tracking generator RF OUT. Refer to Figure 2-67 to connect
the Type-N cable from the analyzer RF OUT to the microwave
analyzer 50 Ω Input.
Measuring Fundamental Amplitudes
Perform the following two steps for each fundamental frequency in
Table 2-101.
1. Set the analyzer under test center frequency to the fundamental
frequency listed in Table 2-101 and press Single to activate a single
sweep. Set the microwave analyzer to the same frequency.
2. On the microwave analyzer, press PEAK SEARCH. Press MKR →,
MARKER → REF LVL. Wait for another sweep to finish. Press PEAK
SEARCH. Record the marker amplitude reading in Table 2-101 as the
Fundamental Amplitude.
Measuring Non-Harmonic Responses
1. On the analyzer under test, set the center frequency to the initial
value indicated in the first row of Table 2-101. Press Single on the
analyzer to trigger a single sweep.
2. Set the microwave analyzer Start Freq, Stop Freq, and Res BW as
indicated in the first row of Table 2-102.
