2-2 Agilent E7501A Getting Started
Performing Acceptance Test Procedures
Test 1. CW Frequency and Power
Test 1. CW Frequency and Power
Description During this test, the system is set to two different frequencies at two different
power levels, and the output signal is measured with a spectrum analyzer.
Equipment Required • Agilent E7501A arbitrary analog signal developer
• Agilent 8563E spectrum analyzer
Equipment Setup
NOTE All test equipment requires a 30 minute warm-up period to ensure warranted
performance. Both the Agilent E7501A arbitrary analog signal developer
and the Agilent 8563E spectrum analyzer need to be connected to a common
10 MHz reference.
When using the Agilent E7501A arbitrary analog signal developer, ensure
that Reference is set to External; the Reference can be selected from the RF
Source Control view.
Step 1. Use a high frequency 3.5 mm cable to connect the Agilent E7501A arbitrary
analog signal developer output to the input of the Agilent 8563E
spectrum analyzer.
