Description A synthesized signal source that is phase-locked to a known frequency standard is used to input a signal to the analyzer. The frequency readout of the analyzer is compared to the actual input frequency

for several different frequency settings over the analyzer’s range. The signal source is phase-locked to a standard known to be as accurate as the analyzer’s internal frequency reference to minimize the “frequency reference error x center frequency” term of the specification.
