15A. Frequency Response Of The 8590L, 8591C, And 8591E - Agilent Technologies 8590 Series Service Manual

15a. Frequency Response of
the 8590L, 8591C, and 8591E
This adjustment applies to:
8590L spectrum analyzers
8591E spectrum analyzers
8591C cable TV analyzers
The frequency response (flatness) of the analyzer is measured with the
corrections off. The source is adjusted to place the displayed signal at
the analyzer center horizontal graticule line.
The flatness data is then entered into the analyzer using the
functions. The error corrections are stored in battery backed RAM
CAL
on the A16 processor/video assembly.
For analyzers equipped with 75 Ω inputs, the 50 Ω system is
characterized before starting the "Frequency Response" adjustment
procedure.
