8. Set the RF output power level desired at the output of the millimeter
source module using the display on the microwave amplier .
The display on the microwave amplier shows the power level at the
output of the source module to within 62 dB . Y ou should use the display
on the microwave amplier , not the synthesizer , when adjusting the RF
output power . F or example , to set the output power level to 0 dBm, press
the 4 POWER LEVEL 5 key and rotate the knob until \0 dBm" is shown on the

The knob resolution can be changed using the 4 ) 5 and 4 ( 5 ke ys. However , the multiplied signal
frequenc y resolution is further limited due to the multiplier value used. F or example , if the multiplier
value is set to 3 and the synthesizer baseband resolution is 1 kHz, the resulting resolution is 3 kHz.
