Creating a User Flatness Correction Array

In this example, you will create a user flatness correction array. The flatness correction array
contains ten frequency correction pairs (amplitude correction values for each specified frequency),
from 500 MHz to 1 GHz.
An Keysight N1911A/12A or E4419A/B power meter and E4413A power sensor are used to
measure the RF output amplitude at the specified correction frequencies and transfer the results to
the signal generator. (A U2000 Series power meter/sensor could be used in lieu of the power meter
and E4413A power sensor.) The signal generator reads the power level data from the power meter,
calculates the correction values, and stores the correction pairs in the user flatness correction
array.
If you do not have the required Keysight power meter, or if your power meter does not have a LAN,
GPIB, or USB interface, you can enter correction values manually.
Required Equipment
— Keysight N1911A/12A or E4419A/B power meter (a power meter is not required with the
U2000A/01A/02A/04A Power Sensor)
— Keysight E4413A E Series CW power sensor or U2000A/01A/02A/04A Power Sensor
— GPIB, LAN, or USB interface cables, as required
— adapters and cables, as required
For operating information on a particular power meter/sensor, refer to its
operating guide.
Connect the Equipment

During the process of creating the user flatness correction array, the power
meter is remotely controlled by the signal generator.
