100 kHz to 100 MHz Sensitivity for Agilent 53181A
1 Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 1-12 with the signal generator
connected to Channel 1 of the Counter.
Figure 1-12. Channels 1 Frequency Sensitivity Test Setup
2 Set the Agilent 8663A Signal Generator to output a 100 kHz, −35.0 dBm sine
wave signal (−20.0 dBm for Option 060) to the Counter’s Channel 1 input.
3 In 0.1 dB steps, increase the power level until the Counter displays a stable
reading of 100 kHz.
The Counter should display 100 kHz when the signal generator level
is ≤ −21.0 dBm (20 mVrms). Counters with Option 060 Rear Terminals should display
100 kHz when the signal generator level is ≤ −9.5 dBm (75 mVrms).
