3.Connect equipment as shown in Figure 2-l 1. The RECORDER OUTPUT on rear panel of power meter is connected to LEVELING EXT INPUT of the synthesized sweeper. One output arm of the power splitter is connected directly to SIGNAL INPUT 2 of the spectrum analyzer via the N-to-N adapter. The power sensor connects directly to the other splitter output.
