Performance Tests

Median Gain and Frequency Response Flatness

Description

This test procedure performs a response calibration on the analyzer and then measures the gain of the
probe over frequency. Maximum and minimum gains in two different frequency bands are used to
determine the probe performance.

Procedure

1. Preset the analyzer using the

hardkey.

2. Set the frequency sweep range for 300 kHz to 3 GHz.

3. Set the analyzer for a transmission (S21) measurement.

4. Connect a type-N cable between the output port and input port on the analyzer.

5. Perform a response calibration on the analyzer. The trace on the analyzer should now be a flat line at

0 dB.

6. Disconnect the cable from the output port of the analyzer. Connect the type-N barrel to the free end of

the cable.

7. Connect the probe adapter to the output port of the analyzer. Connect the probe between the probe

adapter and the type-N barrel. Plug the probe power cable into the front panel of the analyzer.

8. Read the following four values from the trace on the analyzer and enter the values on the

“Test

Record” on page 5-9

. Use the network analyzer marker functions as needed.

Maximum gain in dB over the frequency range of 300 kHz to 1 GHz (A).

Minimum gain in dB over the frequency range of 300 kHz to 1 GHz (B).

Maximum gain in dB over the frequency range of 1 GHz to 3 GHz (C).

Minimum gain in dB over the frequency range of 1 GHz to 3 GHz (D).

Perform the calculations indicated on the test record to determine the results of the test.
