Modify the signal generator
controls as follows:
Frequency: 100 MHz
Level: - - 50 dBm
Change the reference level from
- - 20 to - - 42 dBm in one dB step
on the analyzer.
Is
the spectrum
displayed with correct
amplitude?
No
Replace RF5 module.
Modify the signal generator
controls as follows:
Frequency: 100 MHz
Level: 0 dBm
Change the reference level from
+30 to +10 dBm in one dB step
on the analyzer.
Is
the spectrum
displayed with correct
amplitude?
No
Replace the step attenuator 1.
