Performance Verification
2400 Series Operation Manual, 33237 Revision A, May 2004 4-17
listed in the test data sheet. The RF amplitude should be at +6 dBm. Press [RF ON] button to turn
on the RF output.
2. Set the spectrum analyzer to view the 2400 output signal. Adjust the analyzer reference level so
that the peak of the displayed signal is at the top graticule line.
3. Set the spectrum analyzer to maximum span with the signal centered on the screen. Gradually
narrow the span, keeping the signal centered, to observe any spurious signals. Use appropriate
resolution and video bandwidths to allow sufficient dynamic range.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other frequencies on the test data sheet which are within the operat-
ing range of the instrument.
4.4.2.4 RF Output Power Tests
4.4.2.4.1 Description
The following procedures test output power at frequencies within each band. There are three tests:
Maximum-Leveled Power, Level Accuracy, and step attenuator accuracy. The tests are performed
manually. For a comprehensive evaluation of the output of the 2400, it is recommended that an auto-
mated test system be used to perform the tests.
4.4.2.4.2 Equipment Required
