Measurement Procedure:
1 Connect the Antenna to the ANT IN connector.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the connector’s rated input or permanent instrument damage
may result.
On the Test Set:
2 Press the PRESET key.
Using the knob and data entry keys:
3 Set AF Anl In to AM Demod.
4 Select the SPEC ANL screen.
5 From the Controls select Ant.
6 Set Center Freq and Span fields to view desired spectrum.
7 Set Ref Level from −30 dBm to −50 dBm as required to view the desired
signal.
