Considerations for the Derive From Single-Sided
Spur Method
The power level at the AM detector input must remain the same for
both calibration measurements and the noise measurements. For optimum
results, a power level of +10 dBm is recommended when using the
HP 33330C AM Detector.
Requires an RF Spectrum Analyzer capable of measuring the calibration
spur at the desired carrier frequency. Requires a second RF Generator that
can be set to an offset frequency of from 1 Hz to 100 kHz (or 20 mHz if
an RF Analyzer is configured in the system).
Calibration is performed under actual measurement setup conditions.
The non-linearity and harmonics of the AM detector are calibrated out.
