INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides information on the 4352B V CO/PLL Signal Analyzer performance tests
information. These performance tests are used to verify that the 4352B performance meets its
specications .
General information about the performance tests is provided rst. Then, step by step
procedures for each test are provided.
Each test procedure consists of the following parts:
Description: describes the test procedure .
T est Equipment: describes test equipment required in the test.
Procedure: describes the test procedure step by step .
GENERAL INFORMA TION
This section provides general information about the performance tests .
W arm Up Time
Allow the 4352B to warm up for at least 30 minutes before you execute any of the
performance tests .
Ambient Conditions
P erform all performance tests within ambient conditions of 23 6 5 C, 70%RH.
Calibration Cycle
The 4352B requires periodic performance verication to remain in calibration. The frequency
of performance verication depends on the operating and environmental conditions under
which the 4352B is used. V erify the 4352B 's performance at least every two years using the
performance tests given in this chapter .
P erformance T est Record
The P erformance T est Record lists all test points , acceptable test limits , test result entry
columns , and measurement uncertainties . The measurement uncertainty shows how accurately
the 4352B's specications are measured and depends on the test equipment used. The listed
measurement uncertainties are valid only when the recommended test equipment is used.
The P erformance T est Record is provided at the end of this chapter . Use the record as a master
and make extra copies for performance testing.
