Amplitude
RF Flatness (Frequency
Response) 10 MHz to
26.5 GHz
1. Connect the RF generator, power splitter, power meter, and RSA5100B, as
shown in the following figure.
The power splitter outputs should connect directly to the RSA5100B RF Input
and to the Power Sensor, without using cables.

2. To record the test readings, you can make a printout of the following table.
(See Table 72.)
3. Reset the RSA5100B to factory defaults: Setup > Preset (Main).
4. Select Tools > Alignments andthenselectAlign Now.
5. Set the RSA5100B as follows:
