RF Test Equipment | Troubleshooting of the microwave components of the Microwave Converter requires |
| measurements to 26.5GHz of gain or insertion loss, SWR, power, conversion loss, and |
| frequency. Instruments which are required to perform these tasks include: signal genera- |
| tors and sweepers, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and power meters with ac- |
| companying couplers, pads, line stretchers, etc. Select the appropriate equipment and |
| use standard test procedures to make these measurements. |
8.INSTALLATION
9.Initial inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, the shipping materials should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked mechanically and electrically. If there is mechanical damage or if the instrument does not pass the performance tests, notify the nearest Hewlett
