(l)
But not to exceed
50
kHz rates with rms detector.
(2)
Peak residuals must be accounted for in peak readings. (Refer to
Residual
Noise Effects in Detailed
Operating
instructions
in Section
3.)
(3)
For peak measurements only, AM accuracy may be affected by distortion generated by the Modulation
Analyzer. In the worst case, this can decrease accuracy by
0.1%
of
reading for each
0.1%
of distortion.
(4)
For rms detector, add
f3%
of reading.
(5)
Flatness is the variation in indicated AM depth for constant depth on input signal.
For optimum flatness, cables should be terminated with their characteristic impedance.
