(9)Connect the test equipment as shown in Fig.
(10)Set the function generator to +1.4142 V DC (temporarily connect the function generator output to the DVM and set this voltage as close as possible to +1.4142 V).
(11)Measure the power on the power meter.
P1 _____
(12)Set the function generator to −1.4142 V DC (temporarily connect the function generator output to the DVM and set this voltage as close as possible to −1.4142 V).
(13)Measure the power on the power meter.
P2 _____
(14) Subtract P2 from P1 (= x).
(15) Calculate the modulation depth using the formula:
AM(%) =
(16)Calculate the 0 Hz response relative to 1 kHz using the following formula, recording the result in Table
Figure recorded in (6) 20 log10 Figure recorded in (15)
(17)Set the UUT RF level to +7 dBm and repeat (10) to (16) using Table
(18)Set the UUT RF level to +13 dBm and repeat (10) to (16) using Table
