Verifying Third-Order Intercept Point Out-of-Band At Multiple
Input Power Levels
Complete the following procedure to verify TOI-OB at multiple input power levels and
downconversion settings.
1.
Ensure that the RF source 1 output and the RF source 2 output are both ON.
2.
Configure the spectrum analyzer as follows:
•
Frequency: 193.6 MHz
•
Span: 0 Hz
•
Reference level: -40 dBm
•
RBW: 10 Hz
•
VBW: 30 Hz
•
Number of averages: 30
3.
Configure the NI 5694 as follows:
•
Reference level: -30 dBm
•
IF output power level: +10 dBm
•
Step gain: Disabled
•
IF conditioning downconversion enabled: Disabled
•
Device instantaneous bandwidth: The first value listed in the
Device Instantaneous
Bandwidth
column in Table 8
