CW Frequency Accuracy Test

CW Frequency Accuracy Test
The CW frequency accuracy test should be performed prior to doing the
conversion loss calibration adjustment or detector gain calibration.
Source frequency accuracy is tested across the entire sweep range for 8360
sources. The CW frequency accuracy is measured with a frequency counter.
The following materials are required to run the tests:
•
5343 Option 001, 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz frequency counter
•
10 dB pad
If the source and test set operate below 500 MHz, connect the test set output
to the 10 Hz to 500 MHz BNC connector on the frequency counter. The
input switch on the frequency counter must also be in the 10 Hz to 500 MHz
position.
1. Connect the equipment as shown in
CW frequency accuracy equipment setup
2. To preset the instruments, press
. Disregard any error messages.
