Other than making sure my 8902A's sensor is tight and doing averaging with measurements, can anyone share tips they have on using the 8902A to test signal generators. I seem to have a lot of problem below -117 dBm, sometimes too high, sometimes too low. Averaging will certainly help - I may have a poor ground problem somewhere. It's just at these very low levels way down in the noise.
Thanks.

Thanks.

The 8902A should be able to measure down to -130 dBm in good working order. Are you measurements higher or lower than nominal than nominal? What signal generator(s) are you trying to measure? Is one giving a problem or all you try? What RF frequency?
With these answers can tell if you have a problem with the 8902 or the signal generators.
