Measure the output power at the side of the power splitter where the
calibration source will be substituted, then terminate in 50 ohms. See
Figure 155
on page 217.
Adjust the calibration source to the same output power as the measured
output power of the power splitter.
Adjust the output frequency such that the beatnote frequency is within the
range of the analyzers being used.
The system can now measure the calibration constant.
Disconnect the calibration source and reconnect the power splitter.
Adjust the phase difference at the phase detector to 90 degrees
(quadrature) either by adjusting the test frequency or by adjusting an
