NOTE

You may need to adjust the RBW setting on the Spectrum Analyzer in order to see the >–50 dBc null.

When the DAC has been completely adjusted, the program will exit to the $ prompt.

g.Record step completion on the Test Record.

6.Internal Locked, Locked Low-Noise, and Un- locked Narrow FM Mode Sensitivity calibration is accomplished by adjusting the FM Variable Gain Control DAC to reduce the carrier level as low as possible at frequencies of 5 GHz and 20 GHz. The modulating signal input is from the internal Function Generator.

Perform the calibration as follows:

a.At the $ prompt, type: calterm 144 and press <ENTER>.

b.On the Spectrum Analyzer, set the Span/Div to 50 kHz per division.

c.On the computer keyboard, use the ‘, 1, 2, and 3 keys to increment and the 7, 8, 9, and 0 keys to decrement the value of the DAC’s setting.

Start calibration by pressing an increment key.

d.While observing the first Bessel null (Figure

4-14) on the Spectrum Analyzer display, adjust the value of the DAC’s setting to reduce the carrier level as low as possible.

e.When finished setting the DAC, press Q on the keyboard to go to the next calibration step.

When the DAC has been completely adjusted, the program will exit to the $ prompt.

f.Record step completion on the Test Record.

7.The FM Rear Panel Input Gain is calibrated to balance the Locked and Unlocked Narrow FM Mode Sensitivity obtained when the same exter- nal modulating signal is applied to either the front panel or rear panel FM input.

Perform the calibration as follows:

a.On the 682XXB/683XXB, disconnect the coax- ial cable from the front panel FM IN connector and connect it to the rear panel FM IN connec- tor.

b.At the $ prompt, type: calterm 154 and press <ENTER>.
