Fig. 5-9 0 Hz external AM and distortion test set-up

(9)Connect the test equipment as shown in Fig. 5-9.

(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:

￿ 1-10(-x/20) ￿

AM(%) = ￿ ￿

￿1+10(-x/20) ￿

(16)Calculate the 0 Hz response relative to 1 kHz using the following formula, recording the result in Table 5-35:

￿ 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 5-36.

(18)Set the UUT RF level to +13 dBm and repeat (10) to (16) using Table 5-37.
