1. Frequency Accuracy Test
Description
This test checks the frequency accuracy of the E5061A/E5062A test port output signal.
The frequency accuracy is checked at 300 kHz, 50 MHz, 1.5 GHz and 3 GHz (for E5062A)
with a frequency counter. Since the E5061A/E5062A employs a PLL frequency
synthesizer for the signal source, the frequency accuracy test at these frequency points can
verify the accuracy for the entire frequency range.

2. RF Output Level Accuracy and Flatness Test
Description
This test checks the level accuracy and frequency flatness of the E5061A/E5062A test port
output signal. The level accuracy is checked for an output power level setting of 0 dBm at
50 MHz using a power meter. The frequency flatness is tested by measuring the power
level at the following frequency points and calculating the differences of the power meter
readings from the level at 50 MHz.
E5061A: 300 k, 1.5 M, 3 M, 7 M, 15 M, 275 M, 575 M, 875 M, 1.175 G, 1.5 GHz
E5062A: 300 k, 1.5 M, 3 M, 7 M, 15 M, 275 M, 575 M, 875 M, 1.175 G, 1.5 G, 1.775 G, 2
G, 2.375 G (for opt. 150/250), 2.675 G (for opt. 150/250), 3 GHz (for opt. 150/250)
