This performance veri￿cation test must be performed with the EMC analyzer set in the spectrum analyzer mode.

The tracking generator output is connected to the EMC analyzer INPUT 50

￿and the tracking is adjusted at 300 MHz for a maximum signal level. A calibrated power sensor is then connected to the tracking generator output to measure the power level at 300 MHz.

The measuring receiver is then set into RATIO mode so that future power level readings will be in dB relative to the power level at 300 MHz. The output power level setting is decreased in 1 dB steps and the power level is measured at each step. The di￿erence between the ideal and actual power levels is calculated at each step. The step-to-step error is also calculated.

The related adjustment for this performance veri￿cation test is the \Tracking Generator Power Level for Option 010, HP 8593EM, HP 8594EM, HP 8595EM, and HP 8596EM."
