FM Sensitivity (Option 002 Only)

This option is not available on instruments with Option UNG.

FM Sensitivity, available from the pull down View menu by selecting

Configuration, is used to select the FM sensitivity. It can be set to

10 MHz/V, 1 MHz/V, or 100 KHz/V.

Level accuracy with ALC off below 2 GHz is unspecified.

A Power Search may be used to improve level accuracy with ALC off.

Alternately, the IF Attenuator, available from the pull down View menu

by selecting Configuration, can be adjusted in 2 dB steps to obtain the

correct level within +/- 1 dB; above 2 GHz or with ALC on, this is

unnecessary.

If the modulation index, defined as the peak frequency deviation

divided by the frequency of the modulating signal, is greater than ~120,

a frequency shift may occur.

For complete specifications, refer to “Specifications and

Characteristics” on page 6-1.
