4. Tune the instrument to a frequency that exhibits the power level issue
5. Connect a spectrum analyzer to A3 J2004.
6. Configure the spectrum analyzer with the following settings:
7. Turn the digital modulation path on by pressing I/Q, I/Q On.
8. The power level of the signal at A3 J2004 should be at a fixed level of 0
9. Referring to
10.Connect the spectrum analyzer to the RF output connector of the
11.Connect a short RF cable between A3 J2004 and A3 J2003.
12.Set the power level to 0 dBm by pressing AMPTD, 0 dBm.
13.The power level of the signal on the spectrum analyzer should measure 0

Unleveled Conditions

If there are any unlevel conditions that only exist when using digital modulation

Keysight CXG, EXG, and MXG X-Series Signal Generators Service Guide
when using digital modulation.
— Center Frequency = Frequency of signal source
— Span = 10 MHz
— Reference Level = +10 dBm
dBm, +/-6dB.
— If the power level measured is not 0 dBm, +/-6 dBm, replace the A3
RF assembly since there are no adjustments for this power level.
— If the power level measured is 0 dBm, +/-6 dB, proceed to step 9.
