between the two input ports so the sources do not |

|
| 2 Set one source (signal generator) to 300 MHz |
|
| and the other source to 301 MHz, for a |
|
| frequency separation of 1 MHz. Set the sources | |
| equal in amplitude as measured by the analyzer | |
| (in this example, they are set to |
|
| 3 Set the analyzer center frequency and span: |
|
| • Press [PRESET]. (With Preset Type of Default) |
|
| • Press [FREQ] > {Center Freq} > 300.5 > {MHz}. |
|
| • Press [SPAN] > 5 > {MHz}. |
|
| 4 Reduce the RBW until the distortion products |
|
| are visible: |
|
| • Press [BW/SWP] > {RBW}, and reduce the RBW | |
| using the knob, the arrow keys or the numeric | |
| keypad. |
|
| 5 Move the signal to the reference level: |
|
| • Press [MARKER] > {Peak Search}. |
|
| • Press [MARKER] > {Marker To} > {To Ref}. |
|
| 6 Reduce the RBW until the distortion products |
|
| are visible: |
|
| • Press [BW/SWP] > {RBW}, and reduce the RBW | |
| using the knob, the arrow keys or the numeric | |
| keypad. |
|
| 7 Activate the second marker and place it on the | |
| peak of the distortion product (beside the test |
|
| signal) using the Next Peak: |
|
| • Press [MARKER] > {Delta}. |
|
| • Press [MARKER] > {Peak Search} > {Next Left |
|
| (Right) PK}. |
|
| 8 Measure the other distortion product: |
|
| • Press [MARKER] > {Normal}. |
