Measurement Summary
Measurement Setup Details
8563E Marker to carrier at
10 MHz
1. On the 8563E press the Mkr front panel key.
33120A vary amplitude for
minimum marker
2. Use the RPG knob on the 8563E and place the
marker on the carrier at 10 MHz.
E6432A Frequency = 20 GHz 3. Using the RPG knob on the 33120A vary the
amplitude of the 33120A until the spectrum analyzer
marker is at a minimum. Record the 33120A
amplitude in the FM Accuracy Table.
8563E Center Frequency =
20 GHz
4. Change the E6432A to a carrier frequency of
20 GHz.
Marker to carrier at 20 GHz 5. Change the center frequency on the 8563E to
20 GHz.
33120A vary amplitude for
minimum marker
6. Repeat the above steps and enter the 33120A
amplitude in the table for 20 GHz and the FM rate
being used.
Frequency = 900 kHz 7. Change the 33120A frequency to 900 kHz to test an
FM rate of 900 kHz.
Amplitude = 4.33 Vpp 8. Change the 33120A amplitude to 4.33 Vpp.
E6432A Opt 002 FM
Sensitivity = 1 MHz/V
9. If you are testing an Option 002, change the FM
sensitivity back to 1 MHz/V using the Configuration
menu.
8563E Span = 10 MHz 10. Change the 8563E Span to 10 MHz.
Marker to carrier at 20 GHz 11. Vary the 33120A amplitude until the carrier on
the 8563E is a null. Record this value in the FM
Accuracy Table for a test frequency of 20 GHz and
FM rate of 900 kHz.
33120A vary amplitude for
minimum marker
12. Change the E6432A SFP to a carrier frequency of
10 MHz.
E6432A Frequency = 10 MHz 13. Change the 8563E center frequency to 10 MHz
and repeat the marker null measurements for a test
frequency of 10 MHz and FM rate of 900 kHz.
8563E Center Frequency =
10 MHz
