Performance Tests
Introduction
Introduction
This chapter contains tests to verify the performance of the HP 71612 error performance
analyzer system. Note that the HP 70340A clock source and HP 70341A clock source
extension should be verified (by their performance tests) before proceeding, refer to the
HP 70340A/70341A Operating and Calibration manual.
Test Equipment Required
HP 54124T oscilloscope.
HP 34118A oscilloscope trigger.
HP 70004A display.
HP 70340A clock source.
HP 70341A clock source extension (or synthesizer generating 100 MHz to 1 GHz
at 0 dBm).
HP 70001A mainframe (if HP 70341A is present).
HP 11667B power splitter.
HP 5386A frequency counter.
HP 71612 UHG pattern generator.
HP 8116A pulse generator.
SMA to SMA Cable (1 m) part number 8120-4948, 6 off.
HP 8490D #020 20 dB attenuator, 2 off.
HP 70800B cables, 4 off.
2.4 APC ➜ 3.5mm adaptors, 2 off.
HP 11901C 3.5-inch floppy disk.
Performance verification of the HP 71612 products involves parametric testing of such
features as rise and fall time of the Data/Clock outputs on the pattern generator. This is
followed by the functional Performance Tests.
