Bandwidth Test

The bandwidth test verifies the bandwidth performance of the oscilloscope by testing the amplitude
loss of the oscilloscope under test at full bandwidth.

[1]
Note : Amplitude Loss (dB) = 20 × lg (Vrms2/Vrms1); wherein, Vrms1 is the measurement result of amplitude
effective value at 1MHz and Vrms2 is the measurement result of amplitude effective value at full bandwidth.

Fluke 9500B

Test Procedures

1. Connect the active head of Fluke 9500B to CH1 of the oscilloscope via a 50 Ω impedance adapter,
as shown in the figure above.
2. Turn on Fluke 9500B and set its impedance to 50 Ω.
3. Configure the oscilloscope:
Press CH1 in the vertical control area (VERTICAL) on the front panel to turn on CH1.
1)
Press CH1  Probe to set the probe attenuation ratio to "1X".
2)
3) Rotate HORIZONTAL
Rotate VERTICAL

5) Press HORIZONTAL
horizontal position and vertical position to 0.
6) Press TRIGGER
4. Output a Sine with 1 MHz frequency and 600 mVpp amplitude via Fluke 9500B.
Press MENU  Vrms at the left side of the screen of the oscilloscope to turn on the effective

value measurement function. Read and record Vrms1.
6. Output a Sine with 200 MHz frequency and 600 mVpp amplitude via Fluke 9500B.
7. Rotate HORIZONTAL
8. Press MENU  Vrms at the left side of the screen of the oscilloscope to turn on the effective
value measurement function. Read and record Vrms2.
