Procedure
1. Connect the spectrum analyzer's calibration output directly to its RF input. Turn on the spectrum
analyzer.
2. Set the spectrum analyzer center frequency to the frequency of the calibration output.
3. Set the frequency span to 10 MHz and activate a marker.
4. Place the marker on the peak of the displayed signal and note the value in dBm.
5. Connect the probe adapter to the calibration output.
6. Connect the probe output to the RF input on the analyzer.
7. Connect the probe power cable to a power source.
8. Plug the probe tip into the probe adaptor.
9. Place the marker on the peak of the displayed signal and compare the signal level in dBm to that
measured in step 4. The probe should not cause more than 5 dBm of signal loss.
