Procedure and Equipment
How to Use the Performance Tests
• Run the Performance Tests in Table 8-2, “Performance Tests &
Records Location,” on page 176 using the specified Test Equipment
from Table 8-1, “Required Test Equipment by Model,” on page 175.
• Compare and record the data for each test onto the applicable
Performance Test Record (PTR). Table 8-2, “Performance Tests &
Records Location,” on page 176 shows the page number of the PTR
associated with each performance test.
Test Set Operation
To perform the following performance test procedures you need to know
basic Test Set operation. You should be familiar with the front panel,
the various display screens, and knob operation (cursor control). You
should be able to operate the Test Set’s RF generator, RF analyzer, AF
generators, AF analyzer, spectrum analyzer, and oscilloscope.
NOTE Press Preset on the Test Set before beginning each test.
Test Equipment and Operation
The test equipment shown in Table 8-1, “Required Test Equipment by
Model,” on page 175 is needed to do all of the performance tests.
Usually, a setup drawing at the beginning of each test procedure shows
the equipment and hook-up needed for that particular test. Generic
names are used for the test equipment shown in the setup drawings.
To find alternatives to the equipment listed in Table 8-1 on page 175,
look up their specifications in the Agilent Technologies Test and
Measurement Catalog and use the specifications to find equivalent
instruments.
The test procedures give critical instrument settings and connections,
but they don’t tell how to operate the instruments. Refer to each
instrument’s operating manual.
