In-band Spurious Measurement

Required Equipment

•	30 dB, 50 watt, Bi-Directional, DC–18 GHz, N(m)–N(f), Attenuator, Anritsu 42N50A-30

•	Test Port extension cable, Anritsu 15NNF50-1.5C

Procedure

1.	Using the test port extension cable and 30 dB, 50 watt, (Bi-directional) attenuator, connect the RF In port to the appropriate transmit test port.

2.	Press the Freq main menu key, press the Center Freq submenu key, and enter the center frequency.

3.	Press the Span main menu key. Set the span wide enough to include the primary channel bandwidth and upper and lower channel bandwidths.

4.	Press the Amplitude main menu key and then press the Reference Level submenu key to set the reference level to –20 dBm.

5.	Press the RL Offset submenu key, enter 30 then select dB External Loss to compensate for the loss in the attenuator.

6.	Press the Auto Atten submenu key and set the attenuation to On.

7.	Press the BW main menu key and use the RBW and VBW submenu keys to set the resolution bandwidth to 10 kHz and the video bandwidth to 300 Hz.

8.	Press the Marker main menu key and press the Marker 123456 submenu key to select Marker 1. The underlined number indicates the active marker.

9.	Press the On/Off submenu key and use the arrow keys, the keypad and the knob to move the marker over one of the spurs.

10.	Compare the value of the marker to the specified allowable level of in-band/out-of-channel spurious emissions for the corresponding channel transmit frequency.

11.	Repeat steps 9 and 10 for the remaining spurs. Use either Marker 1 again, or choose another marker.
