This performance verication test must be performed with the EMC analyzer set
in the spectrum analyzer mode.
The tracking generator output is connected to the EMC analyzer input and
the tracking is adjusted at 300 MHz for a maximum signal level. The tracking
generator output is then connected to the input of a microwave spectrum
analyzer . The tracking generator is tuned to several dierent frequencies , then
the amplitude of the second and third harmonics relative to the fundamental
are measured at each frequency .
F or each output frequency , several sweeps are taken on the microwave
spectrum analyzer over dierent frequency spans and the highest displayed
spurious response is measured in each span. Responses at the fundamental
frequency of the tracking generator output or its harmonics are ignored; they
are tested in the \Harmonic Spurious Responses" performance verication test.
The amplitude of the highest spurious response is recorded.
There are no related adjustments for this performance verication test.
