23. Frequency Response, HP 8596EM
23.Frequency Response , HP 8596EMThis performance verication test must be performed with the EMC analyzer set in the spectrum analyzer mode.
The output of the synthesized sweeper is fed through a power splitter to a power sensor and the EMC analyzer. The synthesized sweeper power level is adjusted at 300 MHz to place the displayed signal at the analyzer center horizontal graticule line. The measuring receiver, used as a power meter, is placed in RATIO mode. At each new synthesized sweeper frequency and analyzer center frequency setting, the synthesized sweeper power level is adjusted to place the signal at the center horizontal graticule line. The measuring receiver displays the inverse of the frequency response relative to 300 MHz (CAL OUT frequency).
