Test Procedures
1. Connect the 50 Ω matched load to the RF input terminal of RSA3000, as shown in Figure 2-1.
2. Configure the spectrum analyzer:
a) Set the preamplifier to Off.
b) Set the span to 1 kHz.
c) Set the detector type to Sample.
d) Set the input attenuation to 0 dB.
e) Set the resolution bandwidth to 1 kHz, and set the video bandwidth to 10 Hz.
f) Set the reference level to -50 dBm.
g) Set the sweep time to 1 s.
3. Modify the center frequency of the spectrum analyzer according to the frequency parameters
listed in Table 2-1. Each time the center frequency is modified, press Single and wait for the
instrument to perform a single sweep. After the sweep is finished, perform maximum peak
search and minimum peak search, then record the results in the test record form.

4. Take the average of the maximum peak and minimum peak (add the two values and calculate
the average), then normalize it to 1 Hz as the measurement result. That is, use the formula
below: Measurement Result = Average Value－10×lg(RBW). Wherein, RBW is set to 1
kHz in Step 2. Compare the measurement result with the specification.
5. Keep other settings unchanged and enable the preamplifier of the spectrum analyzer. Repeat
Step 3 (ignore the measurement for 50 kHz center frequency) and Step 4, then record the test
results.
