PERFORMANCE TESTS

4-16. RESOLUTION BANDWIDTHSELECTIVITY

SPECIFICATION:

60-dB/3-dB resolution bandwidth ratio: <15: 1

DESCRIPTION:

The 60-dB bandwidth is measured for all resolution bandwidths. The 60- to 3-dB resolution bandwidth ratio (shape factor) is then computed for each bandwidth by dividing the 3-dB value (from the Resolution Bandwidth Accuracy test) into the 60-dB value.

In the 30-, lo-, 3-,and 1-kHz bandwidths, a 21.4-MHz signal (final IF) is injected into Bandwidth Filter No. 1 Assembly A l l to provide the stability required for the measurement of narrow resolution bandwidths.

In the following procedure, the plug-in must be removed from the display mainframe and connected through the extender cable assembly. Be very careful; the energy at some points in the instrument will, if contacted, cause personal injury. This test should be performed only by a skilled person who knows the hazard involved.
