Calibrator Verification Procedure
If any of the instrument performance characteristics are not within specifications, refer the problem to Giga-
tronics Customer Service.
4.3.1
Calibrator Output Power Reference Level
This test determines if the Calibrator Output Power Reference Level given in this section is valid for an ambient
temperature range b5° C and +35° C (+41° F to +95° F).
The Calibrator Output power reference is factory adjusted to 1 mW ±0.7%. To achieve this accuracy, Giga-tronics
uses a precision measurement system with accuracy to ±0.5% (traceable to the NIST), and allows for a transfer
error of ±0.2% for a total of ±0.7%. If an equivalent measurement system is used for verification, the power
reference oscillator output can be verified to 1 mW ±1.9% (±1.2% accuracy, ±0.5% verification system error,
±0.2% transfer error, for a maximum error of ±1.9%). To ensure maximum accuracy in verifying the Calibrator
Output power reference, the following procedure provides step-by-step instructions for using specified test
instruments of known capability. If equivalent test instruments are substituted, refer to the Key Characteristics
section in Table 4-1.

4.3.1.1
Procedure
In the following steps, thermistor power measurements will be made using the 432A Power Meter. For detailed
information on using the 432A, please refer to the operating section on the 432A manual.
1.
Turn on the 8650B and the associated test equipment.
2.
After 15 minutes, turn the 8650B’s power OFF and ON. This establishes the 1mW reference for the
instrument firmware.
3.
Connect the Thermistor Mount to the 8650B Calibrator output “N” type connector as show in Figure 4-1.
Allow a 15-minute thermal equilibrium period between the Thermistor and Calibrator connector to
minimize temperature differences.
