RF Test Equipment

Troubleshooting of the microwave components of the Microwave Converter requires

 

measurements to 26.5GHz of gain or insertion loss, SWR, power, conversion loss, and

 

frequency. Instruments which are required to perform these tasks include: signal genera-

 

tors and sweepers, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and power meters with ac-

 

companying couplers, pads, line stretchers, etc. Select the appropriate equipment and

 

use standard test procedures to make these measurements.

8.INSTALLATION

9.Initial inspection

Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, the shipping materials should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has been checked mechanically and electrically. If there is mechanical damage or if the instrument does not pass the performance tests, notify the nearest Hewlett -Packard office. Keep the damaged shipping materials (if any) for inspection by the carrier and a Hewlett-Packard representative.
