Description

This test verifies that the HP37718A/19A Receiver Frequency
Measurement is within specified limits. These limits assume the
instrument is within the calibration cycle.
A Synthesizer is used to generate a sinewave at half the data rate. This
is applied to the HP37718A/19A Receiver Signal In port. As this signal
corresponds to an All Ones Ternary Signal, the HP37718A/19A receiver
should sync up with no errors if set to PATTERN [ALL ONES]. The
Frequency Measurement accuracy of the HP37718A/19A can be
determined by comparison with the frequency displayed on the
Synthesizer. Frequency Offset Measurement is also verified during this
test as the HP37718A/19A will display deviation from the expected
Signal In frequency in ppm. The PDH transmitter recovered clock
function is also verified at 2 Mb/s using the frequency counter in RATIO
mode.
