Method 1, Example 2

Document Part No. E5500-90024Ed. 1.0
Advantages
G Easy method of calibrating the measurement system.
G
Will measure DUT without modulation capability.
G Requires little additional equipment: only a voltmeter or an
oscilloscope.
G Fastest method of calibration. If the same power levels are always
at the AM detector, as in the case of leveled outputs, the AM
detector sensitivity will always be essentially the same.
G Measures the AM detector gain in the actual measurement
configuration. Super-quick method of estimating the equivalent
phase detector constant.
