PERFORMANCE TESTS
4-36. PULSE MODULATION TEST (Cont'd)
DESCRIPTION:
A pulse generator is used to pulse modulate the Signal Generator. The RF pulse output is detected and displayed and
measured on an oscilloscope. For RF outputs above 32 MHz, a reference signal generator and a mixer are used to
down-convert the signal to within the range of the oscilloscope.
NOTE
If a high frequency oscilloscope is available, such as the HP 183C/1830A/1840A, the above
measurement may be made directly to frequencies slightly beyond the oscilloscope's nominal
bandwidth. Use the oscilloscope's 5092 input.
