and the analyzer input.

2 Set one source (signal generator) to 300 MHz

and the other source to 301 MHz, for a
frequency separation of 1 MHz. Set the sources
equal in amplitude as measured by the analyzer
(in this example, they are set to –5 dBm).

3 Set the analyzer center frequency and span:

Press

[PRESET]. (With Preset Type of Default)

Press

[FREQ] > {Center Freq} > 300.5 > {MHz}.

Press

[SPAN] > 5 > {MHz}.

4 Reduce the RBW until the distortion products

are visible:

Press

[BW/SWP] > {RBW}, and reduce the RBW

using the knob, the arrow keys or the numeric
keypad.

5 Move the signal to the reference level:

Press

[MARKER] > {Peak Search}.

Press

[MARKER] > {Marker To} > {To Ref}.

6 Reduce the RBW until the distortion products

are visible:

Press

[BW/SWP] > {RBW}, and reduce the RBW

using the knob, the arrow keys or the numeric
keypad

.

7 Activate the second marker and place it on the

peak of the distortion product (beside the test
signal) using the Next Peak:

Press

[MARKER] > {Delta}.

Press

[MARKER] > {Peak Search} > {Next Left

(Right) PK}.

8 Measure the other distortion product:

Press

[MARKER] > {Normal}.

NOTE

The coupler should have a high degree of isolation

between the two input ports so the sources do not

intermodulate.
