Equipment Setup for Power Level Accuracy and Flatness Tests

 

Test Setup Connect the equipment, shown in Figure 3-6, as fol- lows:

1. Calibrate the Power Meter with the Power Sen- sor.

2. Connect the Power Sensor to the RF OUTPUT of the 682XXB/683XXB.

NOTE

For ￿40 GHz models, use the K (male) to 2.4 mm (female) adapter to connect the Power Sensor to the RF OUTPUT connec- tor.

3. Connect the 682XXB/683XXB rear panel HORIZ OUT to the Oscilloscope CH.1 input (X input).

NOTE

During this test it will be necessary to adjust the Power Meter’s CAL FACTOR % setting as applicable for the frequency being tested.
