Measurements Operation Verification

5-6 Operation Verification

This section provides procedures that you can use to verify the signal analyzer is operating properly and meets some of its specifications. You may perform the following verifications:

•Reference Oscillator Aging Rate (Optional)

•Frequency Readout Accuracy

•Frequency Span Accuracy

•Swept Resolution Bandwidth

•Single Sideband Phase Noise

•Average Noise Level

•Frequency Response

•Reference Level Switching Uncertainty

•Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) Switching Uncertainty

•Residual Spurious Response

•Input-related Spurious Response

Refer to the Required Equipment list before beginning these verification procedures.

Note: Specifications listed in this section are for reference only and should be verified with the Signature Datasheet, part number: 11410-00396. The most current revision can be downloaded from the Documents area of the Anritsu Internet site: http://www.us.anritsu.com
