Test Procedures
1. Connect the [10MHz OUT] terminal of DSG800 with the [EXT REF IN] terminal at the rear
panel of the signal analyzer using a dual-BNC cable to synchronize the two instruments, as
shown in Figure 2-2.
2. Connect the RF output terminal of DSG800 with the RF input terminal of the signal analyzer.
3. Set DSG800 to output a sine waveform with 1 GHz frequency and 0 dBm amplitude. Then,
turn on the RF output switch RF/on.
4. Configure the signal analyzer:
a) Set the frequency reference input to external.
