PSA Functional Tests
Procedure
1. Configure the equipment as shown in Figure 3-4.. Confirm the analyzer’s built-in auto
alignment has been performed within the past 24 hours.
2. Perform the following steps to set up the equipment:
a. On the synthesized sweeper, press
PRESET, then set the controls as follows:
POWER LEVEL, –10, dBm
CW, 1505, MHz, RF (On)
b. On the spectrum analyzer, press
Preset.
3. Set up the spectrum analyzer by pressing:
System, Reference, 10, MHz, Ext (On)
Frequency, 1505, MHz
Det/Demod
, Detector, Sample
Span
, 2990, MHz
NOTE Ensure Ref Level is set to 0 dBm. In addition, ensure Resolution BW and
Video BW are both set to Auto.
4. Press
Peak Search on the analyzer to measure the frequency readout accuracy. If the
instrument is functioning correctly, the marker reading in the active function block will
be between the values listed in Table 3-4. Record the marker value in the Marker
Frequency Readout column in Table 3-4.
5. On the spectrum analyzer, change the span and center frequency as listed in Table 3-4.
6. Change the synthesized sweeper frequency to match the center frequency of the
analyzer.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 until the Marker Frequency Readout column of Table 3-4 is
complete.
