Maximum Leveled Output Power Test
Description
This test verifies that the synthesizer meets
its
maximum leveled power specifications over
a
variety
of
sweep
ranges,
sweep modes,
and
sweep speeds.
It
uses the internal
power meter
and unleveled
indication circuitry within the
synthesizer to
measure maximum leveled power. When the test
com¬
pletes,, the program uses the
measurement data from this test and the data from the output power
accuracy
test to calculate the actual
maximum leveled output
power. The results from
the calculations
are compared with the
maximum
leveled output power specifications to determine
if
the
instrument
passed.
Because
this test uses circuitry internal to the synthesizer to
perform
the
measurements,
the only
test
equipment required
is
a
20 dB attenuator
to provide
a
50Q
load on the instrument
output
(to improve
measurement accuracy).
NOTE: The
output power accuracy test data must be on the data disc before
this
test
will run.
If
you
have not run the output power
accuracy
test, return to the test menu
and run that test first.

Procedure
1.
Select the desired softkey and respond to the program
prompts:
[FULL]
runs the entire maximum leveled output power test. Select this key to meet the
require¬
ments for the operation verification.
[SELECT]
lets you select the
sweep mode
and
sweep range
you wish to test. When
the program
prompts you for the test condition, type the appropriate test number and press [ENTER].
[CORRECT]
lets
you see the power accuracy correction factors (from the output power accuracy
test),
which are used during the
maximum leveled output
power
calculation. Examine
the data and
then press
[CONTINUE]
on the
computer keyboard.
[JANITOR] Returns
to the test menu.
2.
When the
test completes, choose from:
[DISPLAY] displays
the test results;
[PRINT]
prints
a
copy of the test
results;
[RETEST] returns
to the above menu; or
[JANITOR]
returns to the test menu.
