Test Procedures 

 

1. Connect the output terminal of the SSG5000X with the power meter, as 
shown in Figure 3-1 (a).   
2. Set the SSG5000X to output a sine waveform with -10 dBm amplitude. Then 
modify the output frequency of the SSG5000X according to Table 3-2 and 
enable the RF output switch 

RF

.   

3. Modify the frequency of the power meter accordingly each time the output 
frequency of the SSG5000X is modified. Read the amplitude measurement 
value 

A1 

and record it to the test record form.   

4. Disconnect the SSG5000X and the power meter. Connect the 

[10 MHz OUT] 

terminal of the signal analyzer with the 

[EXT REF IN] 

terminal at the rear panel 

of the signal generator using dual-BNC cable to synchronize the two 
instruments.   
5. Connect the output terminal of the SSG5000X with the input terminal of the 
signal analyzer using dual-N cable as shown in Figure 3-1 (b).   
6. Configure the signal analyzer:   

1)  Select the external frequency reference input.   
2)  Set the span to 100 Hz.   
3)  Set the reference level to -20 dBm.   
4)  Set the input attenuation to 10 dB.   
5)  Set the resolution bandwidth to 1 Hz.   
6)  Set the self-calibration to normal and perform all of the calibration 

items.   
7. Set the output frequency of the SSG5000X and the center frequency of the 
signal analyzer according to Table 3-2 (the center frequency of the signal 
analyzer corresponds to output frequency of the SSG5000X).   
8. Each time the center frequency is changed, wait for the instrument to finish a 
sweep and press 

Peak Search 

to find the maximum peak. Then record the 

result 

A2 

to the test record form.   

9. 

System Error 

(the input attenuation of the signal analyzer is 10 dB) 

= A2 - 

A1 

and record the measurement result.   

10. Keep the connection shown in Figure 3-1 (b) unchanged, press 

Mode 

Preset 

to restore the signal analyzer to its factory setting and set the output 

amplitude of the SSG5000X according to Table 3-3.   
11. Each time the output amplitude is changed, set the output frequency of the 
SSG5000X and the center frequency of the signal analyzer according to Table 
3-2 (the center frequency of the signal analyzer corresponds to output 
frequency of the SSG5000X).   
12. Each time the center frequency is changed, wait for the instrument to finish 
a sweep; then, press 

Peak Search 

to find the maximum peak and record the 

measurement result 

A3 

to the test record form.   

Note: 

when the output amplitude of the SSG5000X is -10 dBm, the 

measurement result 

A3

, namely, is the measurement value 

A2 

of the signal 

analyzer in step 8.   
13. Calculate the 

Global Error = A3 - Reference Value 

and record the result.   

14. Calculate the amplitude accuracy using the formula 

Amplitude Accuracy 

= |Global Error - System Error| 

and compare the calculation result with the 

specification.
