3580A
Step e and f· 1000.48 kHz to 1000.52 kHz
Step e and f· 1000.98 kHz to 1001.02 kHz
Step e and f· 1001.48 kHz
to
1001.52 kHz
e. With the FREQUENCY control pulled
out
for fine
tuning, tune the 3580A frequency for a Counter reading
between 1000.58 kHz and 1000.62 kHz.
f.
Press CLEAR WRITE, then slowly turn the
MANUAL VERNIER
to
obtain a peak reading. The peak
should be more than 70 dB below full scale (- 140 dBV).
g.
Repeat Steps e and f substituting 1001.18 kHz to
1001.22 kHz, and 1001.78 kHz
to
1001.82 kHz for the
Counter readings.

NOTE
If
the instrument fails this test double check
that the input short
is
as
small
as
possible; that

Response
Tests.

7. These tests verify
the
ability
of
the instrument
to
reject a
100
kHz signal
at
the
input and also
how
well
the
Zero Beat Response
is
suppressed. Proceed to the Mixer
Balance Adjustments (Paragraph 5-81)
of
the Adjustment
Procedures
if
the
Zero Beat Response
is
too
large. Proceed
to
Section VII for troubleshooting information
if
there is
too
much
IF
Feedthru.
Equipment Required:
Frequency Synthesizer (-hp- Model 3320B,
50
ohm)
a. Reconnect
the
synthesizer
to
the 3580A. Do
not
terminate. Adjust
the
source for a 10 volt 100 kHz
output
(+
26.99 dBm
50
ohms setting on 3320B and untermina-
ted).
b.
Position the following front panel controls: (Only
those controls printed in BOLD require a change from the
previous test).

see
Section VII for troubleshootinginfcmnation
if
the instrument fails this test.
