Signal generator calibration procedure.

This calibration guide has been revised to add new performance verification tests that do not use the 3335a synthesizer level generator. To calibrate the pxie 5450 5451 waveform generator pxie 5611 iq modulator or pxie 5650 5651 5652. General procedure for signal generator calibration 25 references 27 ii abstract an investigation was made of the problems involved in calibrating standard signal generators. This calibration procedure calibrates the pxie 5673e as a single device.

Calibration is a key issue for any test equipment to ensure that the readings made fall within the set limits. Not only does the test instrument itself need to undergo a formal period calibration to ensure that the unit itself is operating within the manufacturers limits. The tables referenced by the tests are located in the back of the chapter where they can be copied easily. Signal leakage and several methods for detecting it were studied since the determination of this leakage is required for accurate cal.

For an rf vector network analyzer calibration is particularly important.

Calibration procedure pxie 5673e vector signal generator this document contains the verification procedures for the pxie 5673e vector signal. This revision includes the addition of signal sources required to replace the 3335a changes to the test equipment setup illustrations and changes in the steps required to execute the procedures. Depending on your firmware revision signal generator operation may vary from descriptions in this guide. Power on the signal generator on page 2 2 2.
