(1) Test specifications
• Output level accuracy
±1 dB
(
≤ +17 dBm, ≥ –127 dBm)
±3 dB
(< –127 dBm)
(2) Measuring instrument for test
• MS2602A Spectrum analyzer (100 kHz to 2080 MHz)
• Pre-amplifier (100 kHz to 2080 MHz, gain 40 dB, noise figure
≤10 dB)
• Fixed attenuator (100 kHz to 2080 MHz, attenuation 3 dB)

STEP PROCEDURE
1. Execute the intenal calibration (ALL CAL) of the MS2602A.
2. Set the MG3641A/MG3642A frequency to the measurement frequency, and the level to +17 dBm.
Here, do not use the pre-amplifier.
3. Set the MS2602A to time-domain sweep mode, reference level +22 dBm, RF attenuator 45 dB, RBW
10 Hz, VBW 10 Hz, and sweep time 50 ms. Fine-adjust the center frequency around the measuring
frequency to maximize the marker level.
4. Record the marker level displayed. (Ma
+17
)
5. Set the MG3641A/MG3642A output level to +16 dBm, and the MS2602A reference level to +21 dBm.
Record the marker level displayed. (Ma
+16
)
6. Setting the MG3641A/MG3642A output level down to -8 dBm, repeat the measurement and record the
marker level displayed. (Ma
+15
to Ma
-8
)
