8. On the RSA306B, peak the marker on the signal at the center frequency; measure and record the amplitude.
9. Measure and record the power meter amplitude.
10. Repeat steps 6 through 8 for all of the +20 dBm reference level frequencies in the table, measuring power meter
amplitude and RS A306B amplitude.
11. S et the signal generator output amplitude to +1 dBm for the 0 dBm reference level tests. RF amplitude at the power
sensor and the RSA306B = –5 dBm nominal.
12. Repeat steps 6 through 8 for all of the +0 dBm reference level frequencies in the table, measuring power meter amplitude
and RSA306B amplitude. Enter the values in the 0 dBm accuracy table. (See Table 6.)
13. S et the signal generator output amplitud
eto–12 dBm for the –13 dBm reference level tests. RF amplitude at the
power sensor and the RSA306B = –18 dBm nominal.
14. Repeat steps 6 through 8 for all of the –13 dBm reference level frequencies in the table, measuring power meter
amplitude and RSA306B amplitude. Enter the values in the –13 dBm accuracy table. (See Table 7.)
15. S et the signal generator output amplitude to –29 dBm for the –30 dBm reference level tests. RF amplitude at the
power sensor and the RSA306B = –35 dBm nominal.
16. Repeat steps 6 through 8 for all of the –30 dBm reference level frequencies in the table, measuring power meter
amplitude and RSA306B amplitude. Enter the values in the –30 dBm accuracy table. (See Table 8.)
17. Calculate the amplitude errors for each frequency of each reference level accuracy table. Error = RSA306B measurement
– power meter measurement. Readings are in dBm, error is in dB.
18. Note the largest positive and negative errors in the Error column
in all the reference level measurement tables.
19. E nter these values in the Amplitude accuracy results table. (See Table 9.)
20. Compare the +peak and –peak errors against the specifications.
21. E nter pass or fail in the test record.
