NOTE
Dispersion accuracy is a measure of the frequency
dispersion error within 8 divisions of a 10 division
display. It is measured by positioning the 1st fre-
quency marker on the 1st graticule line, then not-
ing the dispersion error as the distance the 9th
marker is displaced from the 9th graticule line.
See Fig. 6-20.
Linearity error is the measured distance any mark-
er is displaced from its respective graticule line
when compared over an 8 major division display.
See Fig. 6-21.
Dispersion accuracy and the display linearity are
affected by the RF output amplitude, circuit con-
stants, etc. DISPERSION CAL adjustment R208 pri-
marily affects the dispersion accuracy and C358
the linearity. If these two adjustments will not
