This performance verication test must be performed with the EMC analyzer set
in the spectrum analyzer mode.
A 100 MHz signal from a synthesized source and the output from a comb
generator are applied to the input of the EMC analyzer . The source frequency
is adjusted until the two signals appear at the same frequency . The frequency
setting of the source is then equal to the comb generator frequency and this
frequency is compared to the specication.
The related adjustment procedure for this performance verication test is the
\Comb Generator , HP 8593EM and HP 8596EM " adjustment.
