Performance verification
Spurious test
This test verifies the spurious using a spectrum analyzer.
1. Connect the arbitrary function generator to the spectrum analyzer as shown in
the following figure.
Figure 11: Spurious tests
2. Set up the arbitrary function generator using the following steps:
Select menu Setting Operation
Function
Sine Sine (front)
Frequency 100.00 kHz
Frequency/Period (front)
Amplitude Units Vpp
TopMenu > Amplitude/Level Menu >
-more- > Units > Vpp
Amplitude 1.00 Vpp
Amplitude/High (front)
Channel 1 Output On On (front)
3. Set the center frequency of the spectrum analyzer to 10 MHz. Other settings
are shown in the following tables.
4. Set the Ref Level of the spectrum analyzer to 8 dBm.
5. Measure the maximum spurious level other than harmonic distortion of 1 Vpp
sine wave in each frequency.
6. Set the center frequency of the spectrum analyzer to 300 MHz. Other settings
are shown in the following tables.
7. Measure the maximum spurious level other than harmonic distortion of 1 Vpp
sine wave in each frequency.
8. Verify that the spurious signal at each frequency is equal to or less than the
limit specified in the following tables.
9. (Two channel models only) Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the channel 2 output.
