PERFORMANCE TESTS
2. Program the UUT to SPCL 909.
3. Connect the power sensor to the UUT RF OUTPUT.
4. Program the UUT frequency to 0.5 MHz.
5. Select each attenuator section by programming the UUT amplitude to the levels
shown in Table 4-2 using SPCL 923 through SPCL 926, and record the measured
power at each level.
6. Compute the output power error for each programmed level of Table 4-2 by
subtracting the programmed power in dBm from the measured power in dBm.
These errors must not exceed the requirement stated above.

7. Subtract the measured power for section zero from the sum of the measured power
for that section plus the nominal attenuation for that section. This is done for
attenuator sections 1 through 7 only. (Example, (-M0+M1+6) for section 1.) The
eight section errors and their sum must not exceed the requirement. Table 4-3
shows the parameters of the high-level accuracy test.
NOTE
To test attenuator sections 4 through 7, program the 6080A/AN Signal
Generator to -12 dBm, and key in
through , respectively.
