48. Tracking Generator Non-Harmonic Spurious Outputs: Agilent E4402B, E4403B, E4404B,

E4405B, E4407B, and E4408B (Option 1DN)

48. Tracking Generator Non-Harmonic

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.
