½ Chapter 14, “SDA-5500/SDA-5510 Sweep Considerations,”
goes into more detail about the concept of reverse
sweeping.
½ “Reverse Sweep and Balance” in Appendix A provides
more information about reverse sweep setup, operation,
troubleshooting, and tips & hints (page 318).
Reverse Sweep
To sweep the reverse path, you first need to set the following options from
the main SWEEP menu:
1. Adjust the reverse telemetry level.
2. Adjust the reverse sweep insertion level.
3. Set the sweep direction to reverse.
The sections that follow explain procedures for doing this, and then cover
each of the functions and screens involved in conducting a reverse sweep.

½ Point 4 in “Sweep Setup” covers reverse sweep setup
issues (page 74).
½ Also, “Sweep Configuration,” covers the SWEEP menu
options you need to set before beginning your sweep
(page 64).
Reverse Injection Levels
The reverse sweep signal level is controlled by the Reverse Levels settings
which are set at the main SWEEP menu (see “SWEEP Menu Options” in the
“Sweep Configuration” section on page 67). It is important to remember that
the levels set in these menus are the system levels after all test point losses,
not the transmitter output level.
