PERFORMANCE TESTS
4-36. PULSE MODULATION TEST (Cont'd)
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect equipment as shown in Figure 4-22, with oscilloscope connected directly to test generator's RF OUTPUT,
after setting test Signal Generator's controls as follows:
Meter Function ......................................................................................... .LEVEL
COUNTER MODE: EXPAND .......................................................................... Off
LOCK .............................................................................. Off
Source ........................................................................... INT
AM ........................................................................................................... PULSE
FM ...............................................................................................................OFF
RANGE ..............................................................................................0.5 -1 MHz
FREQUENCY TUNE ..................................................................................1 MHz
OUTPUT LEVEL ........................................................... -17 dBm (Vernier full cw)
RF ON/OFF ....................................................................................................ON
2. Set pulse generator for a repetition rate of 100 Hz, a pulse width of 10 us, and an amplitude of 1V.
3. Adjust oscilloscope to display the RF pulse envelope. Readjust the pulse width for 10 us (measured at 50% amplitude
points) and measure the rise and fall times (see Figure 4-23). Both should be less than 9 Ps (measured between 10%
and 90% of the full pulse amplitude).
