15.Verify that the marked signal is a true response and not a random noise peak by pressing SINGLE to trigger a new sweep and press PEAK SEARCH. A true response will remain at the same frequency and amplitude on successive sweeps but a noise peak will not.

If the marked signal is not the fundamental or a harmonic of the fundamental (see step 14) and is a true response (see step 15), proceed with step 17.

16.If the marked signal is either the fundamental or a harmonic of the fundamental (see step 14) or a noise peak (see step 15), move the marker to the next highest signal by pressing SHIFT, PEAK SEARCH. Repeat step 14.

The following step is only performed if the marker signal is not the fundamental or harmonic of the fundamental and is a true response.

17.Calculate the di￿erence between the amplitude of marked signal and the Fundamental Amplitude as listed in Table 2-74.

For example, if the Fundamental Amplitude for a fundamental frequency of 9 kHz is +1.2 dBm and the marker amplitude is 030.8 dBm, the di￿erence is 032 dBc.

Record this di￿erence as the Non-Harmonic Response Amplitude for the appropriate EMC analyzer center frequency and microwave spectrum analyzer start and stop frequency settings in Table 2-75.

Non-Harmonic Amplitude = Marker Amplitude 0 Fundamental Amplitude

18.If a true non-harmonic spurious response is not found, record \NOISE" as the Non-Harmonic Response Amplitude in Table 2-75 for the appropriate EMC analyzer center frequency and microwave spectrum analyzer start and stop frequency settings.

19.Repeat steps 14 through 18 for the remaining microwave spectrum analyzer settings for start frequency, stop frequency, and resolution bandwidth; and for the EMC analyzer center frequency setting of 9 kHz.

20.Repeat steps 12 through 18 with the EMC analyzer center frequency set to

1.5GHz.

21.Repeat steps 12 through 18 with the EMC analyzer center frequency set to

2.9GHz.

22.Locate in Table 2-75 the most-positive Non-Harmonic Response Amplitude for the microwave spectrum analyzer STOP frequency settings of less than
