Set the signal generator to 5.25 MHz CW at 0 dBm. Press the TUNED RF LEVEL key (SHIFT,
RF
LEVEL).
The display should read between 0.500 and 2.000 -03 W (that is, between 0.5
and 2 mW).
Press the RATIO key. If the display is in ' 3 % REL, press the LOG/LIN key to display
dB
REL.
Key in 3.3 and press the SPCL key (to insert the RF high-pass filter). The Modulation Analyzer
should display between -2 and -8
dB
REL. Turn off the ratio function by pressing the RATIO
key again. Key in 3.0 and press the SPCL key to return the RF high-pass and IF filter selection
to automatic.

Error Check
44. Set the signal generator to 200 MHz CW at 0.0 a m . On the Modulation Analyzer, press the
AUTOMATIC OPERATION key then press the FM key. Press the PEAK+ key. After the
Modulation Analyzer is tuned, press the RANGE HOLD key. Key in 100 then press the .h kHz
key. The Modulation Analyzer should display Error 01. Press the RANGE HOLD key again to
turn off the function.
kHz key. Key in 2.1 and press the SPCL key. Set the signal generator's FM on and
adjust the peak deviation for 5 kHz (as read on its FM meter). The Modulation Analyzer should
display Error 04.
45. Press the
46. Key in 8.4 and press the SPCL key. The instrument should display Error 07.

Set the signal generator to 10 MHz CW at 0.0 dBm. On the Modulation Analyzer, press
the Blue key then press the INSTR PRESET key (the AUTOMATIC OPERATION key) to
preset the instrument. Key in 24.0 then press the SPCL key to initialize the high-selectivity
level measurement.
Key in 24.1 then press the SPCL key. Slowly fine tune the signal generator up and down until a
maximum level is found. At that frequency key in 24.2 then press the SPCL key. (This establishes
an IF level reference.)
Slowly fine tune the signal generator down until the Modulation Analyzer displays -6.0
dB.
Note
the signal generator's frequency.
Slowly fine tune the signal generator up until the Modulation Analyzer again displays -6.0
dB.
Subtract the displayed frequency from the frequency of step
49. The difference should be between
the limits shown in the following table for the option combination given.
