Down/Up Converter
Resolution Bandwidth Switching Uncertainty Test
The CAL OUTPUT signal is connected to the RF INPUT connector of
the instrument and controls are set to display the signal in a narrow
bandwidth. A marker is placed at the peak of the signal to measure
the peak amplitude. The bandwidth is changed to a wide bandwidth
and the Down/Up Converter is adjusted to place the peak amplitude
of the signal the same as the level of the narrow bandwidth signal.
Optionally, the input signal is removed and the IF signal is monitored
at the output of the Bandwidth Filters using a spectrum analyzer with
an active probe. The 18.4 MHz Local Oscillator and all harmonics are
then adjusted for minimum amplitude.
