k. Now adjust the center frequency control to po-

sition the low (or high) carrier at the center of
the display. Note the frequency reading.

l. The difference between these two frequencies

should be 200 MHz

±0.5 MHz. If not, enter

2

and fine adjust the DAC to obtain this devia-
tion.

m.When finished setting the DAC, press

Q

on the

keyboard to return to the menu, then enter

3

to go to the next calibration step (adjusting the
DAC to obtain a 200 MHz deviation at
15 GHz).

When the DAC has been completely adjusted,
the program will exit to the

$

prompt.

n. Record step completion on the Test Record.

5. External Locked, Locked Low-Noise, and Un-

locked Narrow FM Mode Sensitivity calibration is
accomplished by adjusting the FM Variable Gain
Control DAC to reduce the carrier level as low as
possible at frequencies of 5 GHz and 20 GHz. The
modulating signal is from the external Function
Generator.

Perform the calibration as follows:

a. At the

$

prompt, type:

calterm 125

and

press <ENTER>.

b. Set up the Function Generator for a 99.8 kHz

sine wave with an output level of 0.707 volts
RMS (2 volts peak to peak). Use a frequency
counter to verify the output frequency of your
function generator is set to

±1%.

c. On the Spectrum Analyzer, set the Span/Div to

50 kHz per division.

d. On the computer keyboard, use the ‘, 1, 2, and

3 keys to increment and the 7, 8, 9, and 0 keys
to decrement the value of the DAC’s setting.
Start calibration by pressing an increment key.

e. While observing the first Bessel null (Figure

4-14) on the Spectrum Analyzer display, adjust
the value of the DAC’s setting to reduce the
carrier level as low as possible.

f. When finished setting the DAC, press

Q

on the

keyboard to go to the next calibration step.

You may need to adjust the RBW
setting on the Spectrum Analyzer in
order to see the >–50 dBc null.
