KV versus Frequency Calibration

Description

This test determines the tuning sensitivity of the synthesizer loop. To measure the
sensitivity, the tuning voltage is measured as the frequency is stepped from 500 to
1000 MHz in 10 MHz steps. At each incremental frequency the tuning voltage is measured
(Vtune1) and again at the incremental frequency +300 kHz (Vtune2). The sensitivity is
then calculated in units of MHz/V and stored in the signal generator’s firmware.

Required Test Equipment

• HP/Agilent 3458A Digital Multimeter
