Test Description
The NFA filter shape is asymmetrical. The center frequency is defined at the half
power level under the curve. The frequency accuracy tests are performed by
measuring selected P
hot
points along the filter curvature. The half power value of the
P
hot
measurements is then calculated. The frequency which closest matches this
value is given as the center frequency point.
For test purposes the narrow bandwidths are verified at the narrowest bandwidth of
100 kHz. This is due to the fact that the NFA uses digital sample processing (DSP).
It is therefore only necessary to verify the narrowest bandwidth with the most
accurate specification.
