IF Phase Ripple (Option B7J) Performance Test
NOTE: This test is to be performed on PSA analyzers with Option B7J only.
This test is a functional test. The IF Phase Ripple is measured in order to meet the EVM
specification listed for various Digital Comms personalities. In this test the source is set to
output 64 tones in groups of 8 tones which are generated synchronously. The tones are
measured in groups to reduce error due to noise. An algorithm is applied to the
measurement data to determine the relative phase between the tones.
