This performance verication test must be performed with the EMC analyzer set
in the spectrum analyzer mode.
The tracking generator output is connected to the EMC analyzer INPUT 50
and the tracking is adjusted at 300 MHz for a maximum signal level. A
calibrated power sensor is then connected to the tracking generator output to
measure the power level at 300 MHz.
The measuring receiver is then set into RA TIO mode so that future power level
readings will be in dB relative to the power level at 300 MHz. The output power
level setting is decreased in 1 dB steps and the power level is measured at each
step . The dierence between the ideal and actual power levels is calculated at
each step . The step-to-step error is also calculated.
The related adjustment for this performance verication test is the \Tracking
Generator P ower Level for Option 010, HP 8593EM, HP 8594EM , HP 8595EM,
and HP 8596EM."
