Amplitude, Frequency, and Phase Accuracy Tests
This test uses a signal generator to input a signal with an exact amplitude, frequency, and phase
relationship to the 8500C/C+. This input is also connected to the signal input of the spectrum analyzer
so that the signal level can be verified on the spectrum analyzer. The output measurements are then
compared to specifications.
