Procedure
Use the following procedure to perform the test:
Note Steps 1 to 7 of this procedure require pre-requisite knowledge of some
Agilent 432A and 478A parameters. Refer to Appendix A for further
information.
1. Record the input VRC magnitude of the thermistor mount at 50 MHz
with the Agilent 432A power meter set to 200Ω:
•|R
1
| ___________
2. Record the input VRC magnitude of the thermistor mount at 50 MHz
with the Agilent 432A power meter set to 100Ω:
•|R

| ___________
3. Set the Agilent 432A mount resistance switch to 200Ω.
4. Set the DVM to measure resistance:
Connect the DVM between the VRF connector on the rear panel of the
Agilent 432A and pin 1 on the thermistor mount end of the sensor
cable. Verify that no power is applied to the Agilent 432A.
