10.Set the following analyzer parameters: @jgg=p

11.To calibrate the B-channel over the IF range, press:

Once completed, the analyzer should display 0 deem.

12.Make the connections shown in Figure 3-12.

13.Set the Lo source to the desired CW frequency and power level. For this example the values are as follows:

n CW frequency = 1500 MHz n source power = 13 dBm
