Sine Wave Tests
This procedure checks the sine wave characteristics of the AWG500–Series
Waveform Generator output waveforms.
Equipment
required
A 50ĂΩcoaxial cable, a DC block, an adapter (N male to BNC female),
and a spectrum analyzer.
Prerequisites The instrument mustmeet the prerequisites listed on page 4-13.
1. Install test hookup and set test equipment controls:
a. Hook up the spectrum analyzer: Connect the AWG500–Series Waveform
Generator CH1 output connector through the coaxial cable, adapter, and
DC Block to the input connector on the spectrum analyzer (see Figure
4–14).
