3. Test on receiver:- 
 
- Check of RLO frequency :- Check of RLO frequency with unritsu or HP
frequency counter, measure frequency and offset
- Write assigned measured and deviation in PPM limit ±20 PPM 
- Measure RLO output level at RLO mon limit ≥-12 dBm 
- Feed Receive RF frequency at a level of -30 dBm at RX, RF and record 
- 1.RF frequency limit ±250Khz 
 2. If level at AGC out (IF out) limit -5 ±1 dBm 
 3. IF level at AGC Mon Socket limit -10 ±1dBm 
 
AGC calibration at Rx Rec I/P level
 Fig. 7-7 
-Make test set up as per above diagram no 7-7 for 7 GHz system. 
- Sweep oscillator output is to be calibrated with spectrum analyzer with -20 dB 
attenuator for -20 dBm level. 
- Adjust -3 dBm by IF level potentiometer and then vary AGC input level by microwave 
Variable attenuator. 
- Start by -20 dBm as -17 is overload and note down the BITE reading and DC Mon 
voltage. 
 
- Go low by 10 dB step up to -70 dBm and after that lower the level by 1 dBm until a 
receive alarm is monitored. The level at which Rx fail LED glows , is a threshold level 
for BER of 1x 10 
-3
and squelch will be monitored when BER 1x 10
-5
i.e. degradation
starts and change over takes place, say at a level 2 to 3 dBm less than the threshold level. 
 
- Now go to back to restore the squelch and note down difference. This is hysterics
reading.- Limit . -17 dBm overload, -75 dBm receive threshold Range 50 dB from 
threshold.
