6.Resolution Bandwidth Switching Uncertainty Test

(For instruments with Option 462, refer to Chapter 4.)

Related Adjustments 3 MHz Bandwidth Filter Adjustments

21.4MHz Bandwidth Filter Adjustments Down/Up Converter Adjustments

Specification (uncorrected; referenced to 1 MHz bandwidth; 20 - 30°C after 1 hour warm-up) k2.0 dB, 10 Hz bandwidth

f0.8 dB, 30 Hz bandwidth *0.5 dB, 100 Hz to 1 MHz bandwidth

fl.O dB, 3 MHz bandwidth 30 kHz and 100 kHz bandwidth switching uncertainty figures only applicable 190% Relative Humidity

Description The CAL OUTPUT signal is applied to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The deviation in peak amplitude of the signal trace is then measured as each resolution bandwidth filter is switched in.
