5-6 Operation Verification
This section provides procedures that you can use to verify the signal analyzer is operating properly and meets
some of its specifications. You may perform the following verifications:
• Reference Oscillator Aging Rate (Optional)
• Frequency Readout Accuracy
• Frequency Span Accuracy
• Swept Resolution Bandwidth
• Single Sideband Phase Noise
• Average Noise Level
• Frequency Response
• Reference Level Switching Uncertainty
• Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) Switching Uncertainty
• Residual Spurious Response
• Input-related Spurious Response
Refer to the Required Equipment list before beginning these verification procedures.
