2-7 Spectrum Analyzer Absolute Amplitude Accuracy Verification
7. Set the power meter to display Channel B. Press the Sensor key, the Cal Factor submenu key, and then
the Freq submenu key. Use the keypad to enter the value matching the frequency of MG3692x or
MG3695C as the input signal frequency, which sets the power meter to the proper power sensor
calibration factor. Press the System key to display the power reading.
8. Adjust the MG3692x or MG3695C output power so that the power meter displays a reading that matches
the Sensor B reading for –30 dBm in
9. On the MS272xC, press the Amplitude main menu key, then set the Reference Level to –20 dBm.
10. Press the Freq main menu key and press the Center Freq submenu key.
11. Enter 10.1 MHz (or the next frequency).
12. Press the Amplitude main menu key, then set the Atten Lvl to 0 dB.
13. Press the Marker main menu key and press the Peak Search submenu key.
14. Record the Marker 1 amplitude reading (in units of dBm) into
15. Verify that the Marker 1 amplitude reading is within the specification.
