NOTE:

1. The R3267 Series to be tested should be warmed up for at least 30 minutes before starting tests. Any additional
instrument used for this performance verification tests should be warmed up as appropriate.

2. Make sure that the test instrument used meets its own published specifications and that all connectors are clean,
before starting test. All connectors should be firmly connected.

1.2.16 Gain Compression

This section explains how to check the gain compression. The gain compression is measured as follows:
two signals w ith a difference of 1 M Hz are merged using a power splitter.

One o f the two inputs is fixed at -30 dBm and the other input is gradually increased u ntil the fixed input
has been reduced by 1 dB. When the fixed input has been reduced by 1 dB, the level o f variable input is
referred to as the gain compression level.
