Test procedures
(1) Connect the test equipment as shown in Fig. 6-3.
(2) Short circuit the EXT MOD 1 INPUT.
(3) Set the UUT to
[Carrier Freq.]
1.35 GHz
[RF Level]
0 dBm
[FM Devn.]
13.5 MHz, then
proceed as follows:
[Select Source] [Select External] [Ext1 AC Coupling]
[SIG GEN]
(4) Measure and record the carrier frequency on the counter.
(5) Set the UUT to DC coupled EXT MOD 1 INPUT as follows:
[Select Source] [Ext1 DC Coupling]
[DCFM Nulling]
[SIG GEN]
(6) Measure the change in carrier frequency (offset) which must be less than 13,501 Hz.
(7) Change the settings of the UUT as follows:
[Select Source] [Ext2 AC Coupling]
[SIG GEN]
(8) Short circuit the EXT MOD 2 INPUT.
(9) After a 10 second settling period, measure and record the carrier frequency on the counter.
(10) Set the UUT to DC coupled EXT MOD 2 INPUT as follows:
[Select Source] [Ext2 DC Coupling]
[DCFM Nulling]
[SIG GEN]
(11) Measure the change in carrier frequency (offset) which must be less than 13,501 Hz.
