Test Equipment Settings
Before proceeding, certain controls on the test equipment must be set; some of the
settings depend of the operating band (high or low) of the device under test (DUT).
In addition, it is highly recommended that the ambient temperature during align-

Network Analyzer (HP 8712 or equivalent)
The settings for the Network Analyzer are as follows:
Note: It is a good idea to store the instrument state for the four settings for a rapid
