The Signal Generator
And You
Note
The procedures in this guide are best performed using a signal generator
that generates a single, stable RF signal that is tunable in 1 MHz
steps from at least 100
MHz
to 200
MHz.
The signal generator should
also have
AM,
FM and (if available) cPM capability at a
1 kHz rate.
If you are now sitting comfortably in front of your
HP
8901B, you are
ready to begin. Start on the next page and follow the step-by-step guide to
learning to operate the
HP
8901B. You will soon discover how the HP 8901B
can increase both the ease and speed of many of your measurements.
If you plan t o selectively refer t o portions
of
Chapter I , rather
than perform all of the procedures i n sequence, we recommend
that you complete the procedures i n the Frequency Counter
portion
of
this chapter firsf. The Frequency Counfer portion
contains an introduction to the tuning and reset capabilities
that are important t o all of the
HP
8901Bs measurements.
