12. Option 857 Amplitude Fidelity Test

20.Subtract the greatest negative fidelity error from the greatest positive fidelity error for calibrated amplitude steps from -10 dB to -70 dB. The results should be SO.6 dB.

dB

21.Subtract the greatest negative fidelity error from the greatest positive fidelity error for calibrated amplitude steps from -10 dB to -90 dB. The results should be 1.1.5 dB.
