NOTE
It is important that the mixer be connected directly to the LO’s RF Output
connector. For best accuracy in this test, the local oscillator drive to the
mixer should be
=4
dBm.
1. Connect equipment as shown in Figure 4-16. Connect the mixer directly to the LOs RF output
connector to obtain the maximum mixer LO input level. Connect the BNC tee directly to the DUT’s
PULSE IN connector. Allow a one hour warm up.
2. Set up the 8012B Pulse Generator as follows:
PULSE PERIOD slide switch

3. Set both oscilloscope channels (A and B) for 50 Ohm input. Set the oscilloscope to view the pulse
generator output waveform. Adjust the 8012B pulse width VERNIER for a 100 nanosecond pulse.
Adjust the pulse period VERNIER for a 10 microsecond period. Adjust the amplitude VERNIER for
about a 3V pulse amplitude (TTL level).
