Amplitude Flatness Verification
This test verifies the output amplitude flatness specification at selected
frequencies. If you use a TVC (recommended) or a wide band ACrms
voltmeter (with a 50W feed through load), perform this procedure as
described. If you are using a measurement device that requires a transfer
measurement (for example, a power meter), make the transfer in the
reference measurement at 100 kHz.
Set the function generator to the first output indicated in the table below
and make a reference measurement. Select each function generator output
in the table below and adjust the function generator output amplitude until
the measured output is at the reference measurement. Compare the
amplitude level set on the front panel to the test limits shown in the table.
This test is a 50W output termination test.
