19. FM Accuracy
Description and Procedure
Use this procedure to measure the FM accuracy of the synthesizer. With the
synthesizer set to an FM sensitivity of 10 MHz/V, and the function generator
providing an FM modulation index of 2.404, the RF output should be a null.
he function generator amplitude is adjusted for the Bessel null and the
dierence between signals is recorded.
Since the modulation frequency for external FM is 1 MHz,
Note
this procedure relies on the voltage-setting accuracy of the
function generator (the frequency is too high for a DVM, and
an oscilloscope is not accurate enough.)

1. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 2-28. Preset all instruments
and let them warm up for at least one hour.
