Input Impedance Calibration

Description
When an external impedance converter module is used to convert the
impedance of a device from 50 Ω to 75 Ω, some external loss can be induced.
The Input Z Cal function can be used to compensate for these losses with an
offset value.
NOTE:
Operation
Press

Range: 0 dB to +10 dB
Resolution: 1 dB

Using the Built in Pre-Amplifier

Description
The built-in pre-amplifier boosts weak input signals, such as EMI testing
signals, to levels that are easy to handle, over the entire frequency range.
The built-in pre-amplifier on the AE-166/167 has a nominal gain of 20 dB.
In the Auto setting, the pre-amplifier will be automatically turned on when the
reference level is less than -30 dBm. When the reference level is greater than
-30 dBm, the pre-amplifier is turned off. The bypass setting turns the pre-
amplifier off.
Operation
Press
Range: Auto, Bypass
Display Icon
The Pr-amp icon indicates that the pre amplifier is on.

The Input Z Cal function is only functional when the input
impedance is set to 75 Ω.
