Making Measurements

Example 2: Improving Amplitude Measurements with Ampcor

6. On the spectrum analyzer, press

you can save the correction ﬁrst and then purge it. Refer to the

procedures that follow.) If data was purged, press

again before continuing.

Enter the correction points.

1. On the spectrum analyzer, press

2. Enter the marker frequency.

3. Use the knob to adjust AMPL until the marker amplitude reads the

same as the power meter. The ampcor function will be automatically

turned on after the ﬁrst point is entered. Note the "W" along the left

edge of the display.

4. Set the source CW frequency to the next frequency to be corrected.

5. Enter the power sensor calibration factor for this frequency into the

power meter.

6. On the spectrum analyzer, press

frequency to be corrected.

8. Use the knob to adjust AMPL until the marker amplitude reads the

same as the power meter.

9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 for each additional correction point.

Storing the ampcor data.

2. If you would like to create a softkey label under which the correction

data will be saved, press

the ampcor menu, press

used as a softkey label.

You have now completed the process for entering amplitude correction

points. At this point you can disconnect the source from the spectrum

analyzer input and connect the test signal, using the same system

cable. You can recall the correction points and begin to make

measurements.
