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
through a power splitter and the tracking is adjusted at 300 MHz for a maximum
signal level. The other output of the power splitter is connected to a measuring
receiver . The tracking generator is set to do a power sweep from 97 dBV to
106 dBV (010 dBm to 01 dBm).
The markers are used to measure the displayed amplitude at the beginning and
end of the sweep . The power sweep is then turned o and the power level of
the tracking generator is adjusted until the displayed amplitude is the same as at
the start of the sweep . This power level is measured on the measuring receiver
and recorded. The tracking generator is then adjusted until the displayed
amplitude is the same as at the end of the sweep . This power level is measured
and recorded. The dierence between the two measured power levels is
calculated and recorded.
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."
