Atec Aeroflex-IFR-3416 - Manual (Page 4)

T he 2U rack height ensures the 3410 series occupies minimal space
in a manufacturing rack or on the engineer's bench, allowing the pro-
vision of more compact test systems. T he full rack width ensures
easy stacking of instruments while the light weight allows for easy
carr ying in the laborator y or the field.

The RF output is controlled by an ALC system in normal operation.
When IQ modulation is enabled alternative control modes are available
to optimize the performance of the signal generator.

to 6 dB depending on the requested AM depth.
When IQ modulation is selected maximum output is reduced by 6 dB
below 100 MHz.

RF Level Units
Units can be set to µV, mV, V EMF or PD; dB relative 1 µV, 1 mV, 1 V
EMF or PD; or dBm. Conversion between dB and linear units may be
achieved by pressing the appropriate units key (dB or V, mV or µV).
