dBV
(l
V rms
=
0
dBV).
Input levels from
0.2 mV rms
("
74 dBV) to 20 V rms
(+
26 dBV) can
be
measured
with
0.1 dBV resolution
in two
voltage ralges. When
bg
B/A is
selected, thc
panel
rneter indicates the relatiye amplitude of
the two input
signals
in
dB. The
display
range
for
relative
measurements
is
from
-
100 dB to
+
100
dB with 0.1 dB
resolution.
Since
the two input channels
each
contain
ac/dc
corverters and are totally
indgpendent, relatiye measure-
ments
can
be made between two signals that
dilfer
in
frequency.
1-7. The 3575A
amplitude
functions
are
particularly
useful
fbr
measuring
gain,
attenuation
and other characteristics
where amplitude
comparison is required.
The I-og B/A
function eliminates
the need for
separate input and
output
measurements
and time conslming
difference calculations.
1-8. Mlen Phase
Dsplay is selected,
the 35754 measures
the
phase
difference
between two input
signals. The
phase
measurement
range is from
-
180
degrees to
+
180 degrees
with 12 degees
overrange and
0.1
degree
display reso-
lution.
Due to
the wide dynalnic range of the
instrumelt,
phase
difference can
be measured between two signals
that
differ
in amplitude by
as
much
as 100 dB.
l-9. An accurate
phase
meter is of little value
unless the
accuracy oan
be maintained
in the
presence
of troise
and
distortion.
Udike conventional
phase
meters,
the 3575A
uses
two
phase
detectors rather
tian a single
phase
detector.
This, in conjunction
with a
highly
effective error
correction
scheme,
greatly
reduces the elfects
of noise and
distortion
on
phase
readings.
