General Information

Introduction

The HP 4396A Performance Test Program (P/N: 04396-65001) is written in HP BASIC, designed

to minimize the test time, and helps eliminate human error while performance testing the

HP 4396A Network/Spectrum Analyzer. When executing the program, the computer displays

the test instructions, and controls the HP 4396A under test and the related test equipment.

This performance test program has the \Built-in Calibration Data Editor" which edits and stores

the standards' calibration data needed in the tests.

Initial Inspection

The Performance Test Program for HP 4396A has been carefully inspected before being shipped

from the factory.Verify that the shipping container contains the following:

2 ea. of 3-1/2 inch diskettes

The diskettes should contain the following. Check the contents of the diskette using your

computer

Making Working Copies

Copy the contents of the performance test program diskette to a working diskette or to the

hard disk to prevent accidental deletion or destruction of the program les. Use the working

diskettes or the hard disk, and store the original diskette in a safe place.

Note

Make an exclusive directory for this program and copy the les of the diskette

into the directory when you use a hard disk.

Option 001 or 010 (optional time base) is not required, when a frequency standard in Table 1-3 is available.

Required for testing an analyzer equipped with Option 1D5 (High Stability Frequency Reference).

The \HPxxxx 2" type model number is assigned to the \Signal Generator 2", while the nomal \HPxxxx" is

used for the \Signal Generator 1". This makes us possible to use two signal generators of the same model.

Calibration values at 50 MHz are required in the tests

. See the

Calibration Data Required for Step

Attenuators

later in this chapter.

An HP 8496A/G step attenuator with required low VSWR (

An HP 8494A/G step attenuator with required low VSWR (



1.02) can be purchased by specifying option H60.

Required when an HP 8494G or HP 8496G step attenuator is used in the tests.

Calibration Data Required for Step Attenuator

The six performance tests listed below measure the analyzer's performance against a known

standard (the attenuation values at a frequency 50 MHz of the HP 8496A/G and HP 8494A/G

step attenuators).

3. Non-Sweep Power Linearity Test

4. Power Sweep Linearity Test

10. Magnitude Ratio/Phase Dynamic Accuracy Test

14. Amplitude Fidelity Test

15. Input Attenuator Switching Uncertainty Test

18. IF Gain Switching Uncertainty Test

These tests require the calibrated values of the attenuators listed in T

able 1-4 and Table 1-5 .

Enter these attenuation values (referenced to 0 dB setting) at the beginning of the program

with following instructions. See \Built-in Calibration Data Editor" in Chapter 3 for details

The calibration uncertainty is the primary source of measurement error in performance tests.

The measurement uncertainties listed in the performance test record are valid only when the

uncertainty of the step attenuation data satises that given in the third column of Table 1-4

and Table 1-5.

The calibration of step attenuators, HP 8496A/G and HP 8494A/G, are available at

Hewlett-Packard. For information about the calibration and the available uncertainties, contact

your nearest Hewlett-Packard service center.
