5-14. UNLEVELED RF OUTPUT ADJUSTMENTS (Cont'd)
UNLEVELED SQUEGGING TEST USING THE HP 8566B SPECTRUM ANALYZER
Description
The OUT's RF output signal is down converted using a Local Oscillator and a mixer. The IF output of
the mixer is fed to a spectrum analyzer. Any squegging of the OUT will appear as a spurious response
on the IF signal.
This test should be performed after adjusting the SYTM tracking and delay, and the SRO unleveled
bias. Since unleveled squegging can be difficult to see using the oscilloscope, this test is performed to
determine if additional adjustments are required.
