Model 3585A
Performance Tests
n. Enter the displayed CENTER FREQUENCY value as a CF STEP SIZE.
o. Enter the CENTER FREQUENCY reading under the correct frequency heading
(Power Supply or CRT Oscillator) on the Operational Verification Test Card.
p. Read the 3585A marker amplitude and enter the value as the first harmonic on the
Operational Verification Test Card.
q. Set the 3585A controls for CENTER FREQUENCY - STEP UP . This increments the
marker to the next harmonic of the original CENTER FREQUENCY reading.
r. Read the marker amplitude. Record the reading under the correct harmonic on the
Operational Verification Test Card.
s. Repeat Steps q and r up through the fifth harmonic of the original CENTER FRE
QUENCY.
t. Set the 3585A controls for:

u. Disconnect the cable from the EXT TRIGGER input and hold the end of the cable on
the CRT display. You are now observing the CRT High Voltage Oscillator Frequency.
v. Set the marker on the most positive point of the response.
w. Repeat Steps

4·23. Local Oscillator Sidebands
The OVEN REF output on the rear panel of the 3585A is a source relatively free of Local
Oscillator Sidebands. The OVEN REF output is used as the input for this test. This test
checks to what extent internal frequencies are mixing with the input signal in the Local
Oscillator and appearing on the output.
Specification:
Procedure:
Spurious Responses
>
80 dB below signal
a. Disconnect the OVEN REF OUT from the EXT REF IN. Both of these connectors are
found on the rear panel of the 3585A.
b. Connect the OVEN REF OUT to the front panel 50n input.
