c. Connect a 50-ohm termination, a UHF T connector,
and two 50-ohm cables to the output connector of the
constant-amplitude signal generator. If desired, two quick-
connect adapters (item 12 of Recommended Equipment)
may be installed at the Type 503 input ends of the cables,
to permit easy cable-switching.
NOTE
The two 50-ohm cables should be identical to
assure symmetrical input to the two amplifiers
for phasing checks.
d. Connect the two cables to the VERTICAL and HORI
ZONTAL + INPUT connectors.
e. Adjust the generator output for a 6-cm display (a
vertical line trace) at a frequency of 50 kHz, and center the
display vertically and horizontally.
f. Change the HORIZONTAL +INPUT switch to DC. The
display will change to a single trace at a 45° angle, or an
extremely flattened ellipse with a small separation at the
center of the ellipse.
g. Check—Trace separation at the center (measured on
the graticule center Vertical line) must be not more than
1 mm (corresponding to 1 °). See Fig. 5-6 for method of
measuring phase difference.
h. Change the generator frequency to 350 kHz and adjust
the generator output for a 6-cm display horizontally and
vertically.
i. Check—Trace separation not more than 1 mm, meas
ured as in step (g).
j. Change the generator frequency to 450 kHz, and adjust
the generator for a 6-cm display horizontally and vertically.
k. Check—Trace separation not more than 1 mm, meas
ured as in step (g).
l. Check the remaining attenuator positions through .2
VOLTS/CM, using steps (e) through (k) as a guide, and refer
ring to Table 5-3 for attenuator settings, generator fre
quencies, and trace separation tolerances.
m. Change the VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL +INPUT
switches to GND, the VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL —INPUT
switches to DC, and move the signal cables from the VERTI
CAL and HORIZONTAL + INPUT connectors to the VERTI
CAL and HORIZONTAL -INPU T connectors.
