W
should then be displayed briefly, and then a value less than 3.0 -06 W
(that
is,

pW)
should
be displayed. (Ignore the RECAL and UNCAL annunciators
if
they are displayed.)
7. Press the CALIBRATE key. When a value appears
in
the display, press the Blue key and SAVE
CAL key (the CALIBRATE key). The display should show between 0.999 -03 and 1.000 -03 W
(that is, 0.999 and
1.000
mW)
or
between 999 -06 and 1000 -06 W (that is, 999 and 1000 pW).
The RECAL and UNCAL annunciators should be
off.
‘hm

the calibrator by pressing the
CALIBRATE key again.

RF Power Check
8.
Set the signal generator to 100 MHz CW at -10 dBm (as measured on
its
level meter).
9. Connect the input of the sensor module
to
the RF output of the signal generator. Connect
the MODULATION OUTPUT/AUDIO INPUT
to
the vertical input of the oscilloscope. (See
Figure 3-7.)
10. Press the LOG/LIN key to display power in dBm. The Modulation Analyzer should display
between -11.00 and -9.00 dBm.
RF Peak Level Check
11.
Key
in
35.0 and press the SPCL key (uses a peak detector to measure power). The Modulation
Analyzer should display between -16.00 and -6.00 dBm.
Frequency Check
12. Press the FREQ key. Key in 7.1 and press the SPCL key to set the RF frequency resolution
to
10
Hz.
Set the signal generator’s frequency
as
shown
in
the following table. For each frequency, allow
the Modulation Analyzer
to
tune
to
the signal then compare the signal generator’s frequency
display with the Modulation Analyzer’s display. The two displays should agree within the
limits indicated.
I
Set the signal generator frequency to 50 MHz. When the Modulation Analyzer has -med to the
signal, press the MHz key to disable the automatic tuning and enable manual tuning. Press the
S
(Shift) key and the FREQ ERROR key (the FREQ key). The Modulation Analyzer should display
between
-1
and
1
kHz.
14.
Key in 100 and press the
ft
kHz key. The Modulation Analyzer should display between
-101
and
-99 kHz. Key in 7.0 and press the SPCL key to return the RF frequency resolution
to
automatic
selection.
