RSA3408A Technical Reference
1- 15
Equipment
Required
One frequency counter (Item 5)
One 50
Ω
BNC coaxial cable (Item 9)
One 50
Ω
terminator (Item 12)
Prerequisites
Refer to page 1--10.
The frequency counter must have been operating for a warm-up period
of at least 24 hours.
1.
Prepare for the test:
a.
Hook up the frequency counter:
Connect
REF OUT
on the rear panel of the analyzer through a 50
Ω
precision coaxial cable and a 50
Ω
precision terminator to Channel 1 of
the counter. See the following figure.
