3. Enter Source and Interface Parameters
•
Carrier Frequency: Downconverter's input frequency
•
Detector/Disc. Input Frequency: Downconverter's IF frequency
•
VCO Tuning Constant: This depends on which instrument will be tuned:
HP 70427A:
.................................. carrier frequency
HP 8662A/3A: EFC: ............................................................................. 3Hz/v
DC FM: ...............................................................peak deviation
•
Center Voltage of VCO Tuning Curve:
HP 70427A:
.......................................................................................... 0V
HP 8662a/3A: ..........................................................0 V (EFC and DC FM)
•
Voltage Tuning Range of VCO:
HP 70427A:
.......................................................................................±5 V
HP 8662A/3A: ......................................................±10 V (EFC and DC FM)
•
VCO Tune-port Input Resistance:
HP 70427A:
.......................................................................................1M
HP 8662A/3A: ............................................................................... EFC1M
HP 8662A: DC FM .................................................................................. 1k
HP 8663A: DC FM ................................................................................ 600
Phase Detector-Internal Phase Detector: ....................... 5 MHz to 1600 MHz
4. Specify a Calibration Process
•
Determining PHASE DETECTOR CONSTANT: Measure the Detector
Constant.
•
Determining the VCO TUNING CONSTANT: Measure the VCO
Tuning Constant (unless the HP 8662A/3A is being tuned with the DC
FM, then it should be computed).
The Computed PLL Suppression WILL be verified.
