(9) Connect the test equipment as shown in Fig. 7-10.
(10) Set the function generator to +1.4142 V DC (+1 V DC for units with Option 10).
(Temporarily connect the function generator output to the DVM and set this voltage as close
as possible to +1.4142 V (+1 V DC for units with Option 10).)
(11) Measure the power on the power meter.
P1 = _____
(12) Set the function generator to
−1.4142 V DC (−1 V DC for units with Option 10).

(17) Set the UUT RF level to +7 dBm and repeat (4) to (16) using Table 7-35.
To measure the AM depth at DC, it is necessary to use the DC offset facility on the function
generator, proceeding as follows:
