Description
The output of the UUT is connected to a spectrum analyzer. Various frequencies are selected
and the analyzer tuned to determine the presence of either harmonically or non-harmonically
spurious signals.
Procedure
1.
Connect the equipment as shown in the figure. Allow the equipment at least 30 minutes
of warm-up time. Press the [SHIFT] [RESET] on the UUT. Press the [FREQ] key and
enter the first Test Data Sheet frequency which is within the range of the particular
instrument. The RF amplitude should be at 0 dBm (the reset value). Press the [RF
ON/OFF] button and turn on the RF output.
2.
Set the spectrum analyzer to view the UUT output signal. Adjust the analyzer reference
level such that the peak of the displayed signal is at the top graticule line.
3.
Set the spectrum analyzer to maximum span with the signal centered on the screen.
Gradually narrow the span, keeping the signal centered, to observe any spurious signals.
Use appropriate resolution and video bandwidths to allow sufficient dynamic range.
4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other frequencies on the Test Data Sheet which are within
the operating range of the instrument.
Equipment Required
Spectrum analyzer
