Low Noise Amplifiers for
Power Level Accuracy Adjustment and Performance Test
The power level accuracy adjustment and performance test both use low noise amplifiers.
They are required to maintain separation between a low-level signal and the signal
analyzer noise floor. The following amplifiers meet the requirements of making this
measurement.
A +15 Vdc external supply is required for each of the amplifiers. An HP/Agilent E3615A,
0 to 20 V power supply can power all recommended amplifiers simultaneously.
