5.
Set the RF source 2 frequency according to the first row in Table 9.
6.
Measure the
Channel A Power
and the
Channel B Power
using each sensor and the
appropriate calibration factor for the RF source 2 frequency.
7.
Calculate the
DUT to Power Meter through Attenuator Path Loss
and
RF Source to
DUT through Attenuator Path Loss
for that frequency using the following formulas:
DUT to Power Meter through Attenuator Path Loss
=
Channel A Power - Channel B Power
RF Source to DUT through Attenuator Path Loss = -Channel B Power
8.
Repeat steps 5 to 7 for all remaining frequencies in Table 9.
Characterizing Spectrum Analyzer Response
1.
Connect the RF source 2 output to the power splitter input through the SMA (m)-to-
SMA (m) cable.
2.
Connect power sensor A to the power splitter reference output through the SMA (m)-to-
SMA (m) cable.
