Change the REF LEVEL to —60 dBm and reduce
TIME/DIV to 2 s.
f.
Check the average noise level for 1 kHz resolution
bandwidth against that listed in Table 3-7 or Table 3-8.
g.
Repeat this procedure for the remaining coaxial input
frequency range (100 kHz—21 GHz).
b.
Calibrate the reference level and display range as per
Operating Instructions; then disconnect the calibrator signal
from the RF INPUT. Change the REF LEVEL to -3 0 dBm.
c. Check the noise level below the -3 0 dBm reference
level. Noise level must be -8 5 dBm or better (—80 dBm if
your instrument has Option 01).
d. Check the noise level for 100 kHz and 10 kHz resolu
tion bandwidths. Compare this level with characteristics list
ed in Table 3-7 or Table 3-8.
NOTE
On instruments without Digital Storage, it may be de
sirable with some RESOLUTION BANDWIDTH and
REF LEVEL settings to activate the NARROW Video
Filter. This procedure may be used to check sensitivity
characteristics for optional external waveguide mixers
if an accurate signal source has been used to estab
lish the reference level.
