Signal Generator Mode
Introduction
This chapter presents information and procedures to make measurements using the optional
CW signal generator mode (Option 28). The CW Signal Generator provides a CW signal
from the
RF Out
port of the instrument. The CW signal is primarily used for sensitivity test-
ing of receivers. To test receiver sensitivity, connect the signal directly to the receiver being
measured, and then reduce the output amplitude until the receiver drops the signal. The ex-
ternal splitter feeds the signal into the RF input of the instrument. The display shows the
output power and frequency.
