3-16 PULSE MODULATION
TEST: RF ON/OFF
RATIO
This pulse modulation test verifies that the ratio of RF on power to RF
off power is within specifications.
TestSetup Connect the equipment, shown in Figure 3-13, as
follows:
1. Connect the 682XXB/683XXB rear panel 10 MHZ
REF OUT to the Spectrum Analyzer External Ref-
erence Input.
2. Connect the RF OUTPUT of the 682XXB/683XXB
to the Spectrum Analyzer RF Input.
Test
Procedure The following procedure lets you determine the ratio
of RF on power to RF off power during pulse modu-
lation.
1. Set up the 682XXB/683XXB as follows:
a. Reset the instrument by pressing SYSTEM,
then Reset . Upon reset, the CW Menu is dis-
played.
