Synthesized Residual Measurement Using Beatnote Cal; Procedure - Agilent Technologies E5500A User Manual

Synthesized Residual
Measurement using
Beatnote Cal

Procedure

Figure 8-12
This calibration option requires two synthesizers of which one must be
tunable such that a beatnote can be acquired. For the system to calibrate, the
beatnote frequency must be within the following ranges.
Table 8-5
Carrier Frequency
<500 kHz
<5 MHz
<50 MHz
<250 MHz
>250 MHz
or 1/2 the frequency range of the configured analyzer, or
whichever is lower.
1. Connect circuit as per
connections.
