Step 2. Operator’s Check
Description
The operator’s check consists of two softkey initiated tests: Port 1 Op
Chk
and
Port 2 Op
Chk.
A short is connected to port 1 (port 2) to reflect
ah
the source energy back into
the analyzer for an
SII
(SZZ)
measurement.
The first part of Port
I
Op
Chk
checks the repeatability of the transfer switch.
An
SI1
measurement is stored in memory and the switch is toggled to port 2 and
then back to port 1 where another
SII
measurement is made. The difference
between the memory trace and the second trace is switch repeatability.
The remaining parts of both tests exercise the internal attenuator in 5
dEI
steps
over a 55
dB
range.
The resulting measurements must fall within a limit testing window to pass the
test. The window size is based on both source and receiver specifications.
The operator’s check determines that:
n The source is phase locked across the entire frequency range.
n
All three samplers are functioning properly.
n The transfer switch is operational.
n The attenuator steps 5
dB
at a time.
