ZVx Test Sequence (R&S ZVC, R&S ZVCE)

1043.0009.50 5.43 E-7

Measurement  Set test frequencies according to test report.

 Measure at twice and three times the test frequency and calculate the difference

from the measured value at the test frequency, report the worse of the two values.

Test frequency range Harmonics suppression at

-10

dBm

Pmax

40 kHz to 8 GHz -35

dBc -25 dBc

With option R&S ZVR-B10:

dBm Pmax

20 kHz to 40 kHz -30 dBc -20 dBc

40 kHz to 20 MHz -30 dBc -22 dBc

20 MHz to 70 MHz -35 dBc -22 dBc

70 MHz to 2 GHz -35 dBc -25 dBc

2 GHz to 8 GHz -32 dBc -20 dBc

If a network analyzer ZVx is used the 2

harmonic wave can be measured up to 4000

MHz fundamental only. Due to the strong reduction of the Output Stage amplification

in the range above 8 GHz, a measurement at higher frequencies is not necessary.

5.5.1.3 Spurious Suppression

Test equipment: Test cable, option R&S ZVR-B4, attenuator RSG or RSM

Test setup:  Connect RSG (RSM) via test cable between PORT1 and PORT2.
