8. Press INSTR PRESET on the HP 8340A/B and set the controls as
follows:
CW frequency ........................................................ 310.7 MHz
Power level .............................................................−30 dBm
9. Connect the power sensor to the HP 11708A attenuator already
connected to the HP 8902A RF power connector. Zero and calibrate
the HP 8902A/power sensor combination in log mode. Enter the
power sensor 50 MHz Cal Factor into the HP 8902A. Connect the
power sensor, through an adapter, to the SMA cable.
10.Adjust the HP 8340A
POWER LEVEL until the power displayed on the
HP 8902A reads −30 dBm ±0.05 dB.
