4. IF Amplitude Adjustments
The IF amplitude adjustments consist of the cal oscillator amplitude adjustment and the
reference 15 dB attenuator adjustment.

This adjustment sets the output amplitude of the A4 log amp/Cal oscillator and the absolute
amplitude of the reference 15 dB attenuator.
The output of the A4 log amp/Cal oscillator is adjusted so that a -55 dBm signal applied to
the 10.7 MHz IF input on the A5 IF assembly (A5J3) causes a displayed signal of -60 dBm.
The effect of this adjustment is visible only after the

This procedure also sets the attenuator of the reference 15 dB attenuator so that a source
amplitude change of 50 dB combined with a spectrum analyzer reference level change of 50 dB
displays an amplitude difference of 50 dB.
