Calibration and Measurement General Guidelines
Document Part No. E5500-90024Ed. 1.0
NOTE: Read This The following general guidelines should be
considered when setting up and making an AM-noise measurement.
G
The AM detector must be well shielded from external noise
especially 60 Hz noise. The components between the diode
detector and the test system should be packaged in a metal box to
prevent RFI interference.
NOTE: The internal detectors in the Agilent 70420A Option 001 and
Agilent 70427A, along with the Agilent 70429A Option K21 provide
this level of protection.
