HP 85325A Operating and Service Manual

System Performance Verification

Transmitter Performance Verification

The transmitter performance verification checks the transmitter section of
the antenna measurement system. The following tests are performed:

System Configuration

Sets up the millimeter wave system for verification. It is also used to input
the system hardware's model and serial numbers.

CW Frequency Accuracy

Checks the frequency accuracy of the transmitter source. The Self Test
performs the HP 8360 series full self test.

Maximum Leveled Power

Ensures that the RF source and the optional amplifier produce the specified
leveled power.

RF Source Calibration

Calibrates the transmitter for use as the test source for the receiver portion of
the verification.

See “Detailed Test Description” on page 4-15 for additional information.
