I guess there is still a problem in the super low band (10...300 kHz) of my 8753E?
After preset (no cal), i get the following S11 curve with an open 50 cm RG316 attached to port 1.
Although they write in the service guide that the signal has no ALC...
...The super low band frequencies (10 kHz to 300 kHz) are sent directly
from the Al2 reference board to the output of the A3 source assembly. This
band is not phased locked nor does it use the ALC. It is the basic amplified
output of the fractional-N synthesizer.
... I am not sure if the deviations are within normal range.
Maybe somebody with an 8753 can compare the curve to his own?
Thanks
