DESCRIPTION:
The frequency range is verified by using a frequency counter to measure the frequency at the high and low end of each
band.
EQUIPMENT:
Frequency Counter .....................................................................................HP 5327C
PROCEDURE:
1.
Connect generator's auxiliary RF output jack (located on rear panel) to frequency counter's 50 ohm input after
setting Signal Generator's controls as follows:
COUNTER MODE:
EXPAND ................................................................................... Off
LOCK........................................................................................ Off
Source ..................................................................................... INT
AM............................................................................................................................................................ OFF
FM............................................................................................................................................................ OFF
RANGE ...................................................................................................................................... 256-512 MHz
FREQUENCY TUNE ................................................................................................................. Full clockwise
FINE TUNE .......................................................................................................................................Centered
RF ON/OFF................................................................................................................................................ON
2.
Set FREQUENCY TUNE full clockwise. The frequency counter should read 550 MHz or greater.
