Verifying the Leveled Sine Function: Flatness
Summary
Equipment requirements are given in Equipment Requirements and test interconnections
in Interconnections. Verification Setup shows the Verification Setup.
The Verification Procedure is in Verification Procedure, A short description of
Calculating Acceptance Limits is given in Calculation of Acceptance Limits, and the
final Uncertainty Calculation and Flatness Check is in Uncertainty Calculations and
Flatness Check The Leveled Sine Function is verified by carrying out measurements of
amplitude at frequencies between 50 kHz and 6.4 GHz; in the sequences given in
Verification Procedure, at the verification points shown in Tables 12, 13, 14 and 15
Note
Heads can be verified only within the bandwidth of the mainframe. E.g.
Head Model 9510 with Mainframe Variant 9500B/600 can only be verified
to 600 MHz.
Equipment Requirements
•
The UUT Active Head, connected to a verified Model 9500B Mainframe (for
Mainframe verification, refer to Verifying the LF Sine Voltage Function).
•
RF Power Meter for Power measurements from 50 kHz and 6.4 GHz and from
100 mVp-p to 3 Vp-p into 50
Ω
. Examples: Marconi Instruments Model 6960B
with Model 6912 head up to 1.1 GHz or Rhode and Scwarz NRVS with NRV-Z5
head beyond 1.1 GHz.
•
Precision-N to BNC Adapter for signal connection from the UUT Active Head to
the input of the RF Power Meter head for Amplitude measurements.
•
Example: Huber & Suhner Adapter type no. 31BNC-N-50-51 or
31N-PC3.5-50-1.
