15. Spurious Responses Test

Note If unable to locate intermodulation distortion products, temporarily increase output power level of frequency synthesizer and synthesized sweeper by + 10 dB. Return the output power level of both

signal sources to the previous settings before making distortion measurements.

20. On the spectrum analyzer, key in MARKER [n),

[CENTER FREQUENCY) 31 MHz, MARKER [PEAK SEARCH) to position

a marker at the peak of the 31 MHz third-order intermodulation product. The response should be below the display line (GO dB below the input signals).

TO1 Distortion (1 MHz separation @ 30 MHz) dBm

21.On the spectrum analyzer, key in [CENTER FREQUENCY) 28 MHz, MARKER [PEAK SEARCH] to position a marker at the peak of the 28 MHz third-order intermodulation product. The response should be below the display line (>80 dB below the input signals).
