PXIe-5665 Calibration Procedure
Verifying Frequency Response and Absolute Amplitude
Accuracy
Verifying Frequency Response and Absolute Amplitude Accuracy
for Frequencies >10 MHz
Note
Prior to starting this procedure, zero and calibrate the power sensor according
Zeroing and Calibrating the Power Sensor
section of this document.
1.
Connect the RF source 2 to the power splitter input using the SMA (m)-to-SMA (m) cable.
2.
Connect the power splitter reference output to power sensor A.
3.
Connect the other power splitter output to the PXIe-5665 RF IN connector using the
3.5 mm (m)-to-3.5 mm (m) adaptor and 20 dB attenuator. The completed equipment setup
is shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.
