Creating a User Flatness Array Automatically, Example 1

In this example, a flatness array containing correction frequencies from 4 to 10 GHz at 1 GHz intervals is created. An HP 438B power meter controlled by the synthesizer through the interface bus is used to enter the correction data into the flatness array.

For this example, refer to menu map 5, POWER.

1.The equipment setup shown in Figure 1-18 assumes that if the setup has an external leveling configuration, the steps necessary to correctly level have been followed. If you have questions about external leveling refer to earlier paragraphs titled, “Externally Leveling the Synthesizer.”

Setup Power Meter

2.Zero and calibrate the power meter/sensor.

3.Enter the appropriate power sensor calibration factors into the power meter.

4.Enable the power meter/sensor cal factor array. For operating information on the HP 437B power refer to its operating and service manual.

5.Connect the power sensor to the point where corrected power is desired.
