6 dB Bandwidth Adjustments&20%, 3 MHz bandwidth&lo%, 30 Hz to 1 MHz bandwidths + 50%, -0%, 10 Hz bandwidth

30 kHz and 100 kHz bandwidth accuracy figures only applicable 590% Relative Humidity, 540” C.

The 6 dB bandwidth for each resolution bandwidth setting is measured with the MARKER function to determine bandwidth accuracy. The CAL OUTPUT is used for a stable signal source.

None required

1.Press ~NSTR PRESET).

2.Connect CAL OUTPUT to SIGNAL INPUT 2.

3.Key in spectrum analyzer settings as follows:

4.Press SCALE LIN pushbutton. Press [SH’FT), (my (resolution bandwidth) for units in dBm.

5.Adjust [REFERENCE LEVEL) to position peak of signal trace at (or just below) reference level (top) graticule line. Press SWEEP (SINGLE_).

6.Press MARKER [NORMAL) and place marker at peak of signal trace with DATA knob. Press MARKER @ and position movable marker 6 dB down from the stationary marker on the positive-going edge of the signal trace (the MARKER A amplitude readout should be -6.00 dB f0.05 dB). It may be necessary to press SWEEP [CONT) and adjust [CENTER FREQUENCY] to center trace on screen.

7.Press MARKER @ and position movable marker 6 dB down from the signal peak on the negative-going edge of the trace (the MARKER Aamplitude readout should be .OO dB f0.05 dB). The 6 dB bandwidth is given by the MARKER A frequency readout. (See Figure 4- 1.) Record this value in Table 4- 1.
