Advantest R3477 9kHz to 13GHz spectrum analyzer
nctnico:
Mine also shows numbers in that menu. Unfortunately I don't have the means to test at over 3GHz. I do have an ADF4350 board somewhere but I doubt that will be any good to check a difference of a few dB over a (relatively) wide frequency span.
dschiedsch:
Yes you're probably right.
I'm only lucky that I can use some equipment at work which I know is calibrated well.
I only used the analyzer below 3gig for a few months and didn't see any issues. Only to find out it was off when I measured a 5.8ghz video transmitter.
So next thing would be to find a calibration manual. Because changing values in the service menu and looking what happens is probably too painfully slow :-)
Any ideas where I might get this?

Hi guys. For some time i have Advantest R3681 32 GHz Signal/Spectrum Analyzer with integrated 6 Ghz generator. I suppose that this is the common platform with R3477 (Windows XP Embedded, touch scren, similar performance). And finally, the password for the service menu is the same - thank you guys :-+. I don't have the calibration instructions, but the search base is expanding now. Each instruction (R3477, R3671, R3681) will be useful - service menu looks identical.

Hi
The a1freq.csv file (changed filetype to .txt for attachement) in the Advantest\R3477\Fact_cal folder seems to hold the calibration values over the whole band.
It gets loaded at boot (I moved it to a different folder and the analyzer throws an error) and I think this is where I want to change values so
the dB values in the high band are correct.
Now the question is which column is what
Obviously the first is frequency and I would guess the second is the harmonics mode (aka if it's in base band or using one of the YTF modes H1,H2,H4)
The values after that I guess are correction values in dB.
The question is now what the different columns are for
different RBW settings maybe?
If anybody can make a better educated guess then please enlighten me.
nctnico:
You could try and change a few values with extreme numbers (+6 or -6) and see what happens.
