4. Select Maximum Dynamic Range in the RF & IF Optimization dropdown
menu.
5. Set each of the two generators to provide a power level of –28 dBm. The
tones must be of equal amplitude.
a. Set the first generator output frequency to 2.1295 GHz, and the second
generator output frequency to 2.1305 GHz.
b. Set the RSA6100A Center frequency to 2.1295 GHz and use the peak
marker readout to set the first generator output level to –25.0 dBm on
the display.
c. Set the RSA6100A Center frequency to 2.1305 GHz and use the peak
marker readout to set the second generator output level to –25.0 dBm
on the display.
6. Set the RTSA center frequency to 2.1285 GHz and use an amplitude marker
to read the amplitude level of the signal displayed at the center of the screen.
Note this amplitude.
7. Set the RTSA center frequency to 2.1315 GHz and use an amplitude marker
to read the amplitude level of the signal displayed at the center of the screen.
Note this amplitude.
8. Record the higher of these two center frequency readings in the test record.
It should be <–80 dBc against the carrier signal. It should be approximately
–105 dBm or less of the absolute power readings on the screen.
1. Terminate the RSA6100A RF Input with a 50 Ω terminator.
2. Reset the RSA6100A to factory defaults by pressing the Preset button, or
selecting Preset from the Setup menu.
3. Set the RSA6100A:

4. Set the markers for Noise Mode operation:
a. Select the Markers button or soft key.
b. Select the Define soft key.
c. Select the Add soft key to add the Reference marker (MR).
