continue to step a.
a. Refer to Table 3-10 on page 149 and press
⇓
or
⇓
to select a
frequency at which the conversion loss value does not equal
30 dB.
b. Use the spectrum analyzer front panel keys to set the conversion
loss value to 30 dB.
c. Repeat steps a and b for all frequencies having a conversion loss
value other than 30 dB.
7. Press
INSTR PRESET
on the 8340A/B and set the controls as follows:
CW frequency ....................................................... 310.7 MHz
Power level ...............................................................
−
30 dBm
8. Connect the 8481D to the 11708A attenuator already connected to
the 8902A RF power connector. Zero and calibrate the 8902A/8481D
combination in log mode. Enter the power sensor 50 MHz cal factor
into the 8902A. Connect the power sensor, through an adapter, to the
SMA cable.
9. Adjust the 8340A/B

until the power displayed on the
8902A reads
