18. Gain Compression

30. Connect cable to power sensor and adjust output level of

synthesizer for a power meter indication of -5.00

Reconnect cable to spectrum analyzer input.

31. Change

[

REFERENCE LEVEL

)

to -5

Record the MKR A amplitude:

32. Subtract the value recorded in step 9 from the value obtained

in step 31 to find the gain compression:

The

result should be

1.0

(less than 1

compression).

33. Disconnect cable from the spectrum analyzer RF INPUT. Connect

the spectrum analyzer CAL OUTPUT to RF INPUT.

34. Press
