N5183A Test Procedure

Test Setup

1.Zero and calibrate the power sensor to the power meter:

*Refer to Table 3-7 on page 25

2. Connect the equipment as shown:

*Refer to Table 3-7 on page 25.

3.Preset the signal generator: Press Preset.

4.Turn RF on: Press RF On/Off so that the RF On/Off LED lights.

5.Turn modulation off: Press Mod On/Off so that the Mod On/Off LED turns off.

6.Set the frequency: Press Frequency and enter the first frequency value listed in Table 3- 8.

7.Set the amplitude: Press Amplitude and enter the amplitude value for that frequency.

8.Configure the power meter for the measurement.

a.Press the Frequency Cal Fac button on the power meter.

b.Select a power meter channel (if applicable).

c.Use the arrow keys to enter the frequency at which to measure the power.

9.Measure the output power level.

10.Repeat steps 6 through 9 to measure power at each of the 15 frequencies listed in

Table 3- 8.

11.Confirm that the measured power levels are within the limits listed in the table.
