N5244/45AS Option H85

Example: Making High Power Measurements With Option H85

16. Set the receiver attenuator to the value calculated in the previous step (rounding off to the 

highest 5 dB step). Setting the receiver attenuation will establish the internal attenuation. In 

the 

Stimulus

 drop-down menu select 

Power

 > 

Power and Attenuators.

 In the dialog box, 

select 

Receiver Attenuators.

 Set Receiver A to 

[10 dB]

 and Receiver B to 

[20 dB]

 and select 

OK

. Power levels greater than +35 dBm will require additional attenuation between Port 2 

access ports CPLR ARM and RCVR B IN, see 

Figure 27 on page 31

Figure 28 

Receiver Attenuators

17.Turn On the booster amplifier.

CAUTION

From this point forward, 

do not

 press Preset unless you have turned off the 

booster amplifier(s), or have renamed and saved this state as User Preset. 

Pressing Preset will return the analyzer to its default power level and default 

internal attenuator settings. This increase in power may result in damage to the 

DUT or analyzer.

18.In the 

Trace/Chan

 drop-down menu select
