Notes on sensitivity:
The apparent sensitivity when feeding a signal into Ch.A may vary
considerably, particularly near 1GHz. The meter’s input impedance is a complex impedance,
whereas the output of most signal generators is calibrated for a 50
Ω
resistive load. This will
result in a terminal voltage different to that expected by the generator, and therefore a
different sensitivity.
