Calibration Testing Procedures
To test bandwidth
This test checks the bandwidth of the probe. A high-frequency signal
generator and two power meters are used to set the input and measure the
output of the probe.
Specification: down less than 3 dB, dc to 2.5 GHz
1
Zero and calibrate the power meters with the power sensors.
2
Connect the equipment as in the figure on the next page.
3
Connect the probe power input connector to the 1143A or oscilloscope
probe power.
4
Set the probe offset to zero.
If using an 1143A power module, set Offset controls to Local and Zero.
If using an oscilloscope for probe power, use the channel menu to set the
offset to 0.0 V.
5
Set the signal generator for 50 MHz at 0.0 dBm.
6
Set the power meter calibration factors to the 50 MHz value on the
power sensors.
