(1) Refer to Results table 5-30 on page 5-47. Connect the equipment as shown in Fig. 5-15,
connecting the incoming signal to the antenna input socket of the UUT.
(2) Set the Modulation meter to monitor FM in a 50 Hz to 15 kHz bandwidth, noise averaging
on.
(3) Set the UUT to [Tx TEST], RF IN/OUT [SELECT] antenna BNC input socket. From the
power up default, the instrument should already be set to demodulate FM with an IF filter of
30 kHz and AF filter of 0.3 to 3.4 kHz selected. Check that this is the case and select if
necessary.
(4) On the UUT, set [Tx Freq] 5.5 MHz. Set the RF signal generator to provide a signal of
5.5 MHz with 20 kHz deviation at 1 kHz modulation rate. Set the RF level to 6 dBm. (If a
2041 is being used then it should be set to normal noise mode.)
(5) Check that the deviation level indicated on the UUT is within ±5% ± resolution of the
deviation indicated on the external Modulation meter.
(6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 for RF carrier frequencies of 500 MHz and 1000 MHz.
(7) Manually tune the UUT to 300 MHz and set the RF signal generator to provide 300 MHz
with 20 kHz deviation.
(8) Select the 50 kHz low-pass filter by pressing [return], [Mod Meter], [AF Filter],
[50kHz LP], and check the UUT still indicates 20 kHz deviation. (Functional check only.)
(9) Select the 300 Hz high-pass filter by pressing [more], [300Hz HP], and check that the UUT
still indicates 20 kHz deviation. (Functional check only.)
(10) Select the 3 kHz low-pass filter and check that the UUT still indicates 20 kHz deviation.
(Functional check only.)
(11) Refer to Results table 5-31 on page 5-47. Select the 300 Hz low-pass filter by pressing
[more], [300Hz LP].
(12) Set the RF signal generator to provide a signal of 300 MHz with 20 kHz deviation at 50 Hz
modulation rate. On the external Modulation meter select the 10 Hz to 300 kHz filter.
Check that the deviation level indicated on the UUT is within ±7.5% ± UUT resolution of
the deviation indicated on the modulation meter.
(13) Set the RF signal generator modulation rate to 5 kHz and the UUT AF Filter to 15 kHz LP.
Check that the deviation level indicated on the UUT is within ± 7.5% ± UUT resolution of
the deviation indicated on the Modulation meter.
