Wideband Sweep Using Source With FM Capability
For
the 8620C,
the
frequency sweep
is
obtained
by
connect-
ing the
8754A
0
to
10V sweep
output
(on J7 PROGRAM-
MING
connector
pin
4)
to
the
8620C external sweep
input
(PROGRAMMING
connector
pin 28). The ground connec-
tion should also be made between
8754A
J7
pin 18 and
8620C pin 43.

PEAK DEVIATION control
to
set
the
start frequency (as

on
a counter). Then select
8754A
AUTO and FAST
or
SLOW
sweep.
For
sweeps greater
than
one and one-half octaves, a sweeper
such
as
the
HP 8620C may be used.
Calibrate and make measurements as discussed previously.
Using an External Source
Narrowband Sweep Using Source With FM Capabilities
Make a measurement using
the
8640A
or
8640B
as
follows:
For
sweeps less
than
one and one-half octaves, any any source with dc-coupled
FM
input, such
as
the
8640
or
8660
may be used.
For
the
8660
and
8640
sources
the
frequency sweep
is
ob-
tained
by
connecting
the
8754A
rear panel SWEEP OUT-
PUT
to
the signal generator
FM
INPUT. The
8754A
Sweep
output
is
a
-5V
to
+5V ramp used
to
frequency modulate
the
signal generator
RF
output
at
a rate selected
by
the
8754A
SWEEP control. Center frequency peak deviation
(1/2
sweep width),
and
RF
output
level are set using
the
stabilized source controls.
