Making Measurements
Using Ripple Limits to Test a Device
1. To access the ripple test menu, press:
2. To access the ripple test edit menu, press .
3. Add the first frequency band (Frequency Band 1) to be tested by pressing .
4. Set the lower frequency value of Frequency Band 1 by pressing:
5. Set the upper frequency value of Frequency Band 1 by pressing:
6. Set the maximum allowable ripple amplitude value of Frequency Band 1 by pressing:
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for the two remaining frequency bands to be tested for
maximum ripple.
The network analyzer allows you to enter up to 12 frequency bands to be tested for
maximum ripple.
8. After you have entered all of the ripple test frequency band parameters, return to the
ripple test menu by pressing .
Editing Ripple Test Limits
Once the frequency band limits for ripple testing have been created, the limits may be
changed using the same menu that was used to create them. Using the edit ripple test
menu, you may:
• Change existing frequency band limits
• Add more frequency band limits
• Delete individual frequency band limits
• Clear all frequency band limits
Changing Existing Frequency Band Limi ts
Existing frequency band limits may be changed for testing the ripple. This procedure
guides you through changing the existing frequency band limits.
1. To access the ripple test edit menu from the ripple test menu, press:
2. Enter the frequency band whose limits you want to change by pressing:
a.
b. The numeric key indicating the frequency band number that you are changing.
The frequency band number is located in the left column of the list of frequency
bands.
