To set up the intermodulation distortion test
Performance Test only
This test verifies that the Agilent 89410A meets its dynamic range
specification for intermodulation distortion. In this test, two signals (176.543
kHz and 177.530 kHz) are mixed to provide the Agilent 89410A with a
modulated signal. Anytime two signals are mixed, the resultant signal
includes the two fundamental frequencies plus their sum and difference
frequencies (the sum and difference frequencies are the intermodulation
products). The amplitude of each intermodulation product is then measured
with the Agilent 89410A. The synthesizer is set to −36 dBm.
