21. Maximum FM Deviation
Description and Procedure
In this procedure, the synthesizer's RF output is monitored directly on a
spectrum analyzer for low FM rates. he FM amplitude is increased until the
maximum deviation exceeds the specication.
For higher FM rates, the FM rate is set so that a Bessel null occurs when the
RF peak deviation equals the specication. he modulation amplitude is
increased in order to pass through the correct Bessel null for the FM rate used
and the peak deviation specied.
1. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 2-30. Preset all the instruments
and let them warm up for at least one hour.
