on the VNA.
6. Select Marker Search > Min (perform min marker search).
7. Record the marker value as the Measured Insertion Loss of the RF 2 OUT (bypass) path (use the Test
Report Card – page 41 ).
Measure RF 2 OUT (YTF) Insertion Loss
1. Configure the M9360A Soft Front Panel as shown in Table 11 .
Table 11
Parameter Value Notes
Preselector Enable Checked Only needs to be done in unchecked, You should
hear a "click" indicating a path has been selected..
Custom Settings Unchecked
Input Frequency First/next frequency See Table 12 - Test Points .
Input Levels -15 dBm (same as VNA
power) This setting is not important to the measurement, it
will affect the attenuator which is manually set.
Custom Settings Checked
Step Attenuator 0 dB
RF/LO OUT 2 (High-band) This setting applies to the LO 2 OUT path.
NOTE : For each measurement iteration (frequency) in Table 12 , be sure to apply the Table 11 set-
tings in the specific order (top to bottom in the table).
Table 12 - Test Points
Parameter Value
RF Center Frequency for YTF path
2.8 GHz
3.1 GHz
10.0 GHz
20.0 GHz
26.45 GHz
2. Configure the VNA as shown in Table 13 .
Table 13
Parameter Value Notes
Center Frequency Same as M9360A Should match Input Frequency of M9360A.
Span 100 MHz Get full YTF shape on screen.
3. Take a sweep on the VNA.
4. Select Scale > AutoScale on the VNA.
5. Set Marker at VNA center frequency.
6. Record the marker value as the Measured Insertion Loss of the RF 2 OUT (bypass) path (use the Test
Report Card – page 41 ).
7. Repeat steps 1-6 above for each frequency in Table 12 - Test Points .
