Example 3:
Swept mm-wave measurement with
arbitrary correction frequencies
The focus of this example is on using user flatness
correction to obtain flat power at the output of the
Agilent 83550 series mm-wave source modules. In
this case we will use non-sequential correction
frequencies in a swept 26.5 to 40 GHz measurement
with an 83554 source module.
It is time consuming to perform large quantities of
power meter measurements. To reduce this time, we
will select non-sequential correction frequencies in
order to target specific points or sections of the
measurement range that we will assume are more
sensitive to power variations. This will greatly
expedite setting up the user flatness correction
table. The amount of interpolated correction points
between non-sequential correction frequencies will
vary. This example uses the 437B to automatically
enter correction data into the array.
Note: Turn off the 8360 prior to connecting the
source module interface (SMI) cable, or damage
may result.
Configure the measurement system as shown in
figure 9a or 9b. When the 8360 is preset, the
following occurs:
• The source module’s frequency span is
displayed on the source.
• The 8360 leveling mode is automatically
changed from internal to "module leveling."
• The source module's maximum specified
power is set and displayed.
