14. Reconnect the directional bridge test port to the UUT and set it to OPER.
15. Set the Spectrum Analyzer display to linear. Set the sweep time to 5 ms,
single sweep.
16. Set the UUT frequency to 500 MHz, set the signal generator frequency to
500.00001 MHz, and set the Spectrum Analyzer center frequency to
500 MHz.
17. Initiate a single sweep. Allow the sweep to complete then perform a
(maximum) peak search. Note the marker amplitude.
18. Perform a (minimum) peak search and note the marker amplitude.
19. Calculate the difference of the maximum and minimum peak searches,
dividing the difference by 2 to determine the peak value. Record this number
as Z
UUT.
Because the reflected signal level is a peak to peak value and the
reference value to which it is compared is a peak value, the reflected
level must be divided by 2 to convert it to a peak value.
20. Compute the voltage reflection coefficient using the following formula:
21. Using the formula below, calculate the UUT VSWR. The calculated value
must be <1.1.
22. Repeat steps 16 through 21 for the remaining test frequencies and maximum
VSWR values in Table 3-16, setting the Spectrum Analyzer center frequency
in step 15 to the test frequency.
23. Repeat steps 5 through 22 for the remaining UUT output levels and maximum
VSWR values in Table 3-16.
24. Set the UUT to STBY.
