Down Converter Gain

Adjustment

Note

If a gain problem is suspected in the 10 Hz to 1 

 resolution

bandwidths, perform the following procedure to test and adjust the
gain through 

1. Place 

 on extender boards.

2. On the spectrum analyzer being tested, press 

 

PRESET

], 

and set

the spectrum analyzer to the following settings:

3. Connect an active probe to a second spectrum analyzer, and set the

spectrum analyzer to the following settings:

4. Measure the signal at 

 using the active probe and

record below. The signal level should be approximately -33 

Signal level at 

5. Change the center frequency of the spectrum analyzer used

for measuring the signals to 3 MHz. Measure the signal at

 The signal level should be 10 

 

 

 lower than

the signal measured in the previous step.

Signal level at 

6. If the signal at 

 needs adjusting, change 

(Decreasing 

 ten percent increases the signal level by 0.6

 Refer to Table 3-3 for the acceptable range of values for

3-94 Adjustments
