Amplitrde 8rd Phase Accuracy
Checkr
5-12. The
purpose of
these checks
is to veriry that the
3575A meets the anplitude and
phase
acturacy specifi-
cations listed in Tabte l-1.
Read Section
III,
Paragraphs
3-13 to 3-16 before
performing
the
following tests. If
the
3575A fails to
meet any of the
required
specifications,
perform
the
adjustments outlined
in
Paragraphs 5-25
through
5-46.
NOTE
The
checks
outlined in the
following
procedure
will veily
the
3575A
phase
accutscl
at 0 degees and
180 degrees at
citical levels and
frequencies
throughout the operating
mnge of the
instrument. Satisfactory
petormance
duing
these checks is reasonable
verifrcation thst
the
phase
detector circuits are operating
properly.
Moginal
perfor'
mance, however, may rellect a
misadiustment
or mal'
function
that could degrade
the overall
performtnce
and
produce
rcadings that are
out of tolerance at
points
other
than 0 degees
and 180 degrees.
If
performance

marginal or if
further
verification of
phtse
accuracy is
desired,
"spot
