h. Set the 3S8SA controls for:
OFFSET . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . on
ENTER OFFSET
i. Move the marker to the most positive point on the displayed trace. (Ignore the LO feed
through point at 0 Hz)
j . Record the marker amplitude on the Performance Test Card as the 1 MO un flatness for
the 0 to 10 MHz band. The marker amplitude should be less than ± 0.7 dB to verify the
specification.
k. Set the 3S8SA controls for:
START FREQUENCy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 MHz
STOP FREQUENCY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .40 MHz

Repeat Steps b thru i.
m. Record the marker amplitude on the Performance Test Card as the 1 MO unflatness
for the 10 MHz to 40 MHz band. The marker amplitude reading should be less than
± I .S dB to verify the specification.
