Receiver Compression Test

(N9923A)

This test measures compression at +10 dBm at multiple CW frequencies.  Power deltas measured by the FieldFox A and B receivers are compared to power deltas measured by a power meter. The power deltas are 0 dBm to +10 dBm.

A signal generator with good repeatability is required for this test. If repeatability is unacceptable, a warning message will be displayed.

The B receiver (Port 2) is only measured if Option 122 is installed on the analyzer.
