Full Span Measurements with the N9041B 

Viewing the noise floor of the N9041B

The following steps shows you how to inspect the full span noise floor of the 

N9041B.

Step

Action

Notes

1

Reset the analyzer.

a

Tap the green 

Preset

 icon and select 

Full Mode Preset

.

b

Press 

OK

 when the warning dialog 

message appears.

2

Set the input port to RF2.

a

Select the 

Input/Output

 panel or press 

the 

Input/Output

 hard key and select 

the 

Input

 tab.

b

Tap 

RF Input Port

 and select 

RF2

.

3

Set the frequency range to full span.

a

Select the 

Frequency

 panel or press 

the 

FREQ

 hard key.

b

Tap the 

Full Span

 control.

4

Set the full range input attenuation to 

zero. 

a

Select the 

Amplitude

 panel or press 

the 

AMPTD

 key.

b

Select 

Attenuation

 tab and tap the 

Full Range Atten

 control. Enter 0 dB 

using the soft numeric keypad.

c

Tap the 

Mech Atten

 control and enter 

0 dB with the numeric keypad.

The 

Full Range Atten

 is a mechanical 

attenuator at the input of RF2 port while 

the 

Mech Atten

 is at the input of the 

 

50 GHz RF1 port. 

5

Turn on the Full Range PreAmp.

a

Select the 

Signal Path

 tab.

b

Tap the 

Internal Preamp

 control and 

select 

Full Range

 from the drop down 

list.

c

Toggle the 

On/Off

 switch to 

On

.

6

Change the detector type to 

Average

a

Select the 

Trace

 panel.

b

Select the 

Detector

 Ttab and select 

the 

Average (Log/RMS/V)

 button.

By default, the average detector type 

should have been set to rms. If there is a 

need to change the average type, go to 

step 7.
