14. Residual Responses Test

14.Residual Responses Test

Specification c-105 dBm for frequencies >500 Hz with 0 dB input attenuation (no signal present at input) Option 100:

c-99 dBm for frequencies >500 Hz with 0 dB input attenuation (SIGNAL INPUT 1 only).

Option 400:

c-95 dBm for frequencies >500 Hz with 0 dB input attenuation. c-105 dBm for frequencies >2.5 kHz with 0 dB input attenuation.

Description The spectrum analyzer is checked for residual responses across its frequency range with no signal applied to the input and 0 dB input attenuation.

7.Press DISPLAY LINE CENTER_) and key in -105 dBm.

8.Reduce [RESBW) or [VlDEOBW), if necessary, for a margin of at least 4 dB between the noise trace and the display line (refer to Figure 2-24). Do not reduce either bandwidth to less than 300 Hz.

Note This test will require approximately 30 minutes to complete using the settings given in step 6. If the resolution bandwidth or video bandwidth are further reduced, a full band check of residual responses will take up to 15 hours to complete
