Sine Wave Tests
This procedure checks the sine wave characteristics of the AWG610 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator output waveforms.
Equipment
required
A 50ĂW SMAĂcoaxial cable, a DC block, aĂBNC(Fe)ĆN(Ma)Ăadapter,Ăa
SMA(Fe)ĆBNC(Ma)Ăadapter,Ăand a spectrum analyzer.
Prerequisites The AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator must meet the
prerequisites listed on page B-8.
Do the following steps to install the test hookup and set the test equipment
controls:
1. Use the 50 W SMA coaxial cable, adapters, and DC Block to connect the
AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator CH1 output connector to the input
connector on the spectrum analyzer (see Figure B–13).
