Performance Test 3
3-33
VSWR Test – 50
Ω
Leveling Head (Optional 96040A and 96270A)
Equipment required for this test:
• Signal Source, 50 Ω output
• Spectrum Analyzer
• 50 Ω directional bridge
• Precision 50 Ω Open/Short termination
• 50 Ω Leveling Head (supplied with UUT)
To verify the UUT’s Leveling Head output VSWR using a directional bridge and a
Spectrum Analyzer:
1. Connect the REF FREQUENCY OUTPUT (rear panel) from the UUT to the
Spectrum Analyzer and signal generator external reference inputs using a
BNC tee and BNC male – male cable assemblies. Set the Spectrum Analyzer
and signal generator for external frequency reference. See Figure 3-9.
