6-63. Low Frequency Verification

This procedure provides an example of testing low frequency flatness using a 5.5 V
output. Follow the same procedure for testing other amplitudes, only compare results
against the flatness specification listed in Table 6-32.
1. Program the Calibrator Mainframe for an output of 5.5 V @ 500 kHz. Press O on
2. Allow the 5790A reading to stabilize. The 5790A should display approximately 1.94
3. Enter 50 kHz into the Calibrator Mainframe. Allow the 5790A reading to stabilize,
4. Enter the next frequency listed in Table 6-32. Allow the 5790A reading to stabilize,
5. Enter 50 kHz into the Calibrator Mainframe. Allow the 5790A reading to stabilize,
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all of frequencies listed in Table 6-32. Continue until you

6-64. High Frequency Verification

This procedure provides an example of testing high frequency flatness using a 5.5 V
output. Follow the same procedure for testing other amplitudes, only compare results
against the flatness specification listed in Table 6-33. For this voltage range, you will use
the model HP 8482A power sensor.
1. Program the Calibrator Mainframe for an output of 5.5 V @ 30 MHz. Press O on
2. Allow the power meter reading to stabilize. The power meter should display
