Chapter 3: Testing Performance
Analog Bandwidth -- Maximum Frequency Test
35
11 Change the generator frequency to the maximum value for the model being tested as
shown in the table below. It is not necessary to adjust the signal amplitude at this
point in the procedure.
12 Change the scope time base to the value for the model under test in the table above.
13 Measure the input power to the scope channel at the maximum frequency and convert
this measurement to Volts RMS using the expression:
For example, if the power meter reading is 4.0 μW, then Vin = (4.0*10
-6
* 50Ω)
1/2
=
14.1 mVrms.
Record the RMS voltage in the Analog Bandwidth - Maximum Frequency Check section
of the Performance Test Record (Vin @ Max Freq).
14 Press [Clear Display] on the scope and record the scope V rms reading in the Analog
Bandwidth - Maximum Frequency Check section of the Performance Test Record (Vout
@ Max Freq).
15 Calculate the gain at the maximum frequency using the expression:
For example, if (Vout @ Max Frequency) = 13.825 mV, (Vin @ Max Frequency) = 13.461
mV and Gain @ 50MHz = 1.0023, then:
Record this value in the Calculated Gain @Max Freq column in the Analog Bandwidth
- Maximum Frequency Check section of the Performance Test Record. To pass this test,
this value must be greater than - 3.0 dB.
