Note

U, V, and

W-band power sensors are not available from

 

Hewlett-Packard. For these frequencies use the Anritsu ML83A

 

Power Meter with the MP715-004 (40 to 60 GHz), the MP716A

 

(50 to 75 GHz), or the MP81B (75 to 110 GHz) power sensors. Since

 

the Anritsu model ML83A Power Meter is not capable of internally

 

storing power sensor cal factors, you must manually correct the

 

data entry. Refer to example 2 for information on manual entry of

 

correction

data.

 

 

 

Setup Synthesizer Parameters

5.Turn on the synthesizer and press [PRESET). The following occurs:

n The source module’s frequency span is displayed on the synthesizer.

n The synthesizer’s leveling mode is automatically changed from internal to “module leveling”.

n The source module’s maximum specified power is set and displayed.

6.Press FREQUENCY (START) @ @ 0 @ (GHz, m@ @ IGHz). The frequency sweep is set from 26.5 to 40 GHz.

7.Press (POWER LEVEL) 0 @. The source module power is set to +7 dBm for maximum power to the device under test.

Access User Flatness Correction Menu

8.Press POWER CE). Select Fltness Menu.

9.Select Delete Menu Delete All. This step insures that the flatness array is empty.

10.Press (PRIOR). Leave the delete menu and return to the previous softkey menu.

11.Select Enter Freq (!?J @ 0 @ (GHz), to enter 26.5 GHz as the first correction frequency. Enter 31, 32.5, and 40 GHz to complete the list. Notice that the frequencies are arbitrarily spaced.

Enter Correction Data into Array

12.Select Mtr Meas Menu Measure Corr All. The power meter is now under synthesizer control and is performing the sequence of steps necessary to generate the correction information at each frequency point.

If an HP-IB error message is displayed verify that the interface connections are correct. Check the HP-IB address of the power meter and ensure that it is the same address the synthesizer is
