4.19.FREQUENCY RESPONSE (Cont'd) FrequencyResponse, 3- 18 GHz

NOTE

For the higher frequency bands, multiple responses may appear on spectrum analyzer display during frequency response measurement. Adjust INTENSITY control as necessary for optimum display of in-band signal peaks.

17.Select 6 - 9 GHz frequency band on spectrum analyzer. Set sweep oscillator to CW and frequency to 7.5 GHz. Use CW control to center signal on spectrum analyzer display. Set AF control for 3 GHz and trigger a sweep. Adjust spectrum analyzer TUNING control clockwise several turns to reposition tuning marker. Trigger another sweep. Record greatest positive and greatest negative deviation of signal peaks from center horizontal graticule line (neglect deviations caused by tuning marker).

18.To calculate frequency response for 6- 9 GHz frequency band, subtract mean deviation of step 16 from

maximum and minimum values recorded in step 17. Frequency response should not exceed k1.0 dB ( +1.0 division).

19.Select 3 - 9 GHz frequency band on spectrum analyzer. Set sweep oscillator to CW and frequency to 6.0 GHz. Use CW control to center signal on spectrum analyzer display. Set AF control for 6 GHq and trigger a sweep. Adjust spectrum analyzer TUNING control to reposition tuning marker. Trigger another sweep. Record greatest positive and greatest negative deviation of signal peaks from center horizontal graticule line (neglect deviations caused by tuning marker).
