Scalar Analysis Measurement with User Flatness Corrections,

Example 4

The following example demonstrates how to setup a scalar analysis measurement (using an HP 8757 Scalar Network Analyzer) of a 2 to 20 GHz test device such as, an amplifier. User flatness correction

is used to compensate for power variations at the test port of a directional bridge. Follow the instructions to set up the synthesizer, then configure the system as shown in Figure 1-21.

Note	The synthesizer’s rear	panel language and address switches must be
	set to 7 and 31 (all l’s), to change the language or address of the
	synthesizer from the front panel. The programming language must be
	set to Analyzer. Refer to menu map 8, System, to find the location
	of softkey Programming Language Analyzer (asterisk on = active
	language).

Example Overview

In this example you use an HP 437B power meter to automatically enter correction data into the array. It is necessary to turn off

the HP 8757 System Interface (controlled from the front-panel of the analyzer) so that the synthesizer can temporarily control the power meter over HP-IB . When the correction data entry process is complete, enable user flatness correction and set the desired test port power level. Then store the correction table and synthesizer configuration in the same register that contains the analyzer configuration. Re-activate the HP 8757 System Interface and recall
