bandwidth and shape factor at the 100 Hz Resolution
Bandwidth selection. The following is an alternate
procedure.
a.
Turn POWER off. Set the instrument on its face and
remove the power cord. Then, remove the cover to gain
access to the interior of the instrument.
b.
Disconnect P693 (input to
VR#1
module, see Fig.
3-44). Apply a 10 MHz, -3 5 dBm signal, from a high resolu
tion readout signal generator such as the HP 8640A/B,
through the appropriate adapter cables to J693. (A
TEKTRONIX DC 508 Digital Counter and a 10 MHz signal
source may be used if the HP 8640A/B is not available.)
B. Measuring 6 0 dB down bandwidth to compute
shape factor.

Fig. 3-10. Measuring resolution bandwidth and shape factor.
c.
Reconnect the instrument to a power source and turn
the POWER on. With a 10 MHz, —35 dBm signal applied to
the VR input, a trace should be displayed near the reference
line at the top of the graticule.
d. Vary the signal generator frequency above and below
10 MHz to find the frequency setting that causes maximum
vertical deflection of the trace. This setting is referred to as
reference-frequency. Adjust the generator output power to
align the trace on the top graticule line.
e.
Vary the generator frequency below the reference suf
ficiently to move the trace down screen 60 dB and note the
generator frequency. Now, change the generator frequency
to a setting above the reference that is sufficient to move
the trace down 60 dB and note that generator frequency.
The frequency change between 60 dB down points is the
60 dB bandwidth.
f.
Adjust the generator frequency for full scale deflection;
then activate 2 dB/DIV display mode. Insure that the trace is
at the reference line.
g.
Use the procedure described in part e to determine
the
6
dB bandwidth.
h.
Calculate the shape factor as described in the main
procedure.
i.
Turn POWER off and replace P693 on J693. Then,
replace the instrument cover and turn POWER on to contin
ue with the next step.
14. Check Sensitivity (Table 3-7 or Table 3-8)
NOTE
Sensitivity is specified according to the input or aver
age noise level. The 492/492P calibrator is the refer
ence used to calibrate the display.
