Test 7c: (Q) Pulse burst frequency - 53230A channel 3 option 150 with
option 115
This test uses the 53230A to measure both narrow and wide pulse outputs of a
1.35 GHz carrier using the Opt 115 microwave channel.
Equipment
– FS725 Rubidium timebase
– Keysight E8257D-520-UNW microwave signal generator
– Keysight 10503A BNC cable (2)
– Keysight 11500E (3.5) mm cable
– Keysight 1250-1250 N(M) to SMA(F)
E8257D-520-UNW setup
– Output Frequency: 1.35 GHz
– Output Power: -6 dBm
–Auto-Level Control: Off
–Pulse Mode: On
– Pulse Repetition Interval Period: 1 mSec
– Pulse Width (Narrow): 400 nSec
This test procedure applies only to the 53230A Counter with Option 115 and
Option 150 installed. Option 115 is installed as microwave channel 3.
The Quick Verification (Q) requires only the Narrow Pulse Width Burst Frequency
