Fig. 5-12 Pulse modulation rise and fall time test set-up

Test procedure

(1)Connect the test equipment as shown in Fig. 5-12.

(2)On the UUT set:

Carr Freq	50 MHz
RF Level	+7 dBm
Pulse ON

(3)Set the function generator to produce 10 kHz, 0 V to +5 V square wave.

(4)Adjust the oscilloscope controls such that the rise time of the envelope can be measured.

(5)Measure the rise time between the 10% to 90% points checking that it is within the specification shown in Table 5-42.

(6)Repeat (4) to (5) for the fall time of the envelope.
