Absolute Amplitude Accuracy Performance Test
This test measures the absolute amplitude of the PSA at 50 MHz. A synthesized signal
source and attenuators are used as the signal source to the analyzer. A power meter is used
to measure this signal source. The value measured is recorded as the source amplitude.
The PSA's input attenuator is fixed at 10 dB attenuation and the source amplitude is varied
using the external attenuators.
NOTE: This test requires step attenuator calibration data to obtain valid results. Make
sure you enter the calibration data for the step attenuators that you're using. Please refer
to the
Enter Equipment Calibration Data section in the TME help for details on how to
enter this data. You must enter the data for the following columns to obtain valid results:
Attn(dB), Uncert(dB) and ReflSize.
