1-6 Getting Acquainted with the EMC Analyzer
Making a Basic Measurement
Basic measurements simply involve tuning the instrument to place a signal on
the screen, then placing a marker on one or more signals, measuring those
signals, and moving those signals to a list.
Caution Do not exceed the maximum input power that is printed on the
front panel of the EMC analyzer.
Let's begin using the EMC analyzer by measuring an input signal. Since the
300 MHz calibration signal (CAL OUT) is readily available, we will use it as our
input signal.
1. Press 4LINE5 to turn the instrument on, and then press the green 4PRESET5
key.
2. Verify that the start frequency is set to 200 MHz and the stop frequency to
1.0 GHz. If not, the instrument has been con gured as a spectrum analyzer.
Press EMC ANALYZER and proceed with the next step.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
3. Connect CAL OUT to the EMC analyzer INPUT 50
connector (on the front
panel) using an appropriate BNC cable and a BNC-to-Type N adapter.
Option 026 only: Connect the SMA (m) to SMA (m) cable to the EMC
analyzer input with an APC-3.5 connector. Connect the cable to CAL OUT
with the BNC-to-SMA adapter.
4. Press 4TEST5. MARKER is now displayed in the active function block, and the
MARKER softkey label appears in inverse video to indicate that the marker is
the active function. Place the marker on a signal by pressing the down 495
keys. Refer to Figure 1-3.
Getting Acquainted with the EMC Analyzer 1-7
Figure 1-3. Placing the Marker on a Signal
5. Press MEASURE AT MKR . In a short time, the measured marker values are
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
displayed in the upper-right corner of the display.
6. Press ADD TO LIST . The measure-at-marker results are saved to an
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
internal list. Signal Added is now displayed on the screen.
7. Press the up 485 key one or more times to place the marker on a second
signal.
8. Press MEASURE AT MKR , then ADD TO LIST to add the second signal to the
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
internal list. Repeat the process and place a third signal in the internal list.
9. To display the list on the screen, press More 1 of 3 , then the
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
SIG LIST ON OFF softkey. The measure-at-marker results in the form of a
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
list are displayed on the upper portion of the screen. Refer to Figure 1-4.

12. To return the instrument to a known state, press 4PRESET5.
1-10 Getting Acquainted with the EMC Analyzer
Performing Self-Calibration Routines
The self-calibration routines add osets, called correction factors, to internal
circuitry. The addition of the correction factors is required to meet frequency
and amplitude speci cations.
Warm-Up Time
To meet EMC analyzer speci cations:
1. The EMC analyzer should be stored at a constant temperature, within the
operating temperature range, for at least 2 hours.
2. Turn on the EMC analyzer and allow the EMC analyzer to warm up for
30 minutes.
Note Perform the EMC analyzer self-calibration routines only after
the EMC analyzer has met the speci ed warm-up time. Do not
attempt to make any calibrated measurements until the EMC
analyzer self-calibration routines have been performed.
Self-Calibration Routines
Perform the following steps to self-calibrate the instrument:
1. Connect the CAL OUT connector to the INPUT 50
connector, using an
appropriate cable.
2. Press the following EMC analyzer keys: 4CAL5, CAL FREQ & AMPTD .
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Caution To avoid losing the data when the EMC analyzer is turned o,
press CAL STORE . CAL STORE stores the cal data in the area of
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
EMC analyzer memory that is saved when the analyzer is turned
o.
The frequency and amplitude self-calibration routines take approximately
9 minutes to nish, at which time the correction factors will be stored (when
CAL STORE is pressed) in the EMC analyzer's memory.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
The frequency and amplitude self-calibration functions can be done separately
by using CAL FREQ or CAL AMPTD instead of CAL FREQ & AMPTD .
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Getting Acquainted with the EMC Analyzer 1-11
If CAL FREQ and CAL AMPTD self-calibration routines are used,
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Note
the CAL FREQ routine should always be performed before the
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
CAL AMPTD routine.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Interrupting the CAL AMPTD , CAL FREQ , or
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
CAL FREQ & AMPTD self-calibration routines may result
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
in corrupt data stored in RAM. (If this occurs, rerun the
CAL FREQ & AMPTD routine.)
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
When the self-calibration routines have successfully nished, CORR (corrected)
appears on the left side of the screen.
Self-Calibration Routine Problems
If the correction data has been corrupted or is obviously inaccurate, use
CAL FETCH to retrieve the correction data that has previously been saved. To
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
retrieve correction factor data, press 4CAL5, More 1 of 4 , CAL FETCH . If the
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
fetched correction data is corrupt, the following procedure can be used to set
the correction data back to predetermined values:
1. Press 4FREQUENCY5, 037 4Hz5, 4CAL5, More 1 of 4 , More 2 of 4 ,
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
DEFAULT CAL DATA .
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
2. Perform the CAL FREQ and CAL AMPTD routines, or the CAL FREQ & AMPTD
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
routine. Be sure CAL OUT is connected to the EMC analyzer input.
Using DEFAULT CAL DATA may cause the self-calibration
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Note
routine to fail (the frequency span error may interfere with
the EMC analyzer routine that locates the 300 MHz calibration
signal). If this occurs, press 4FREQUENCY5, 037 4Hz5, before
performing the CAL FREQ routine, or the CAL FREQ & AMPTD
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
routine.
If the self-calibration routines cannot be performed, see the EMC analyzer's
HP 8590 EM Series EMC Analyzer User's Guide.
1-12 Getting Acquainted with the EMC Analyzer
Performing the Tracking Generator Self-Calibration Routine
(Option 010)
To meet the tracking generator speci cations, allow the EMC analyzer to
warm up for 30 minutes after being turned on before attempting to make
any calibrated measurements. Be sure to calibrate the EMC analyzer and the
tracking generator only after the EMC analyzer has met operating temperature
conditions.
Since the CAL TRK GEN routine uses the absolute amplitude
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Note
level of the EMC analyzer, the EMC analyzer amplitude should
be calibrated prior to using CAL TRK GEN .
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
1. To calibrate the tracking generator, connect the tracking generator output to
the EMC analyzer input connector, using an appropriate cable.
2. Press the following EMC analyzer keys: 4CAL5, More 1 of 4 , More 2 of 4 ,
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
CAL TRK GEN . TG SIGNAL NOT FOUND will be displayed if the tracking
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
generator output is not connected to the EMC analyzer input. The cal
process will take approximately 30 seconds.
3. Press 4CAL5, CAL STORE to save this data in the area of EMC analyzer
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
memory that is saved when the analyzer is turned o.
