Residual Responses Test - HP 8566B Adjustment Manual

The spectrum analyzer is tested for residual responses across its
frequency range with no signal applied and 0 dB input attenuation.

1. Press 1-j.
2. Connect CAL OUTPUT to RF INPUT. Press (RECALL) @J.
3. Adjust AMPTD CAL for a MARKER amplitude of -10.00 dBm
4. Press (O]. Disconnect CAL OUTPUT and terminate RF
INPUT with a 50 ohm coaxial termination.

There should be at least 3 dB margin between the noise trace and
the display line so that any residual responses may be distinguished
from the noise. It may be necessary to reduce the resolution or video
bandwidths from the settings given in this procedure to achieve this
margin. If this causes the MEAS UNCAL message to appear, it will be
necessary to reduce the frequency span and use more sweeps to cover
the frequency range.
