Specification SIGNAL INPUT 1

~tl.5 dB, 100 Hz to 1.5 GHz

*I dB, 100 Hz to 500 MHz

SIGNAL INPUT 2

fl dB, 100 kHz to 1.5 GHz

Description Frequency response at both analyzer inputs is tested by slowly sweeping a flat signal source over the frequency range and observing the peak-to-peak variation in trace amplitude. The test is divided into three parts. First, the response is tested from 20 MHz to 1.5 GHz with a power-meter-leveled synthesized sweeper. Next, a frequency synthesizer is used to check the response from 100 kHz to 20 MHz. Finally, SIGNAL INPUT 1 is tested from 100 Hz to 100 kHz with a function generator.
