(7) Insert TI between POINTS A and B (fig. 3).
NOTE
Ensure receiver system is in measurement mode.
(8) Measure and record receiver indication. Measured attenuation will be within
range and accuracies specified in appendix A for TI being calibrated.
(9) Disconnect TI from equipment setup.
(10) Repeat (1) through (9) above for remaining frequencies recorded in 7a above.
b. Adjustments. No adjustments can be made; however, a correction chart may be
prepared listing actual receiver system indications at frequencies of interest.
13. Variable Attenuation
Measurement (26.5 to 40 GHz)
a. Performance Check
desired measurement by calculating the following equation:
RF = Test frequency in GHz (7a above)/3
EXAMPLE A
If first test frequency recorded in 7a above is 27 GHz:
RF = 27/3
RF = 9 or 9 GHz
(2) Determine and record signal generator No. 1 frequency (LO) required for the
desired measurement by calculating the following equation:
LO - ((3 X RF) -IF) / 2
EXAMPLE B
Where:
RF
=
signal generator No. 2 frequency in GHz recorded in (1) above.
IF
=
1 (operating frequency of receiver system in GHz)
LO
=
signal generator No. 1 frequency
LO
=
((3 X 9) -1) /2
LO
=
(27 - 1) / 2
LO
=
26 /2
LO
=
13 or 13 GHz
(3) Adjust signal generator No. 2 frequency controls to value determined in (1)
above and RF output controls to +3 dBm.
(4) Adjust signal generator No. 1 frequency controls to value determined in (2)
above and RF LEVEL output controls to 0 dBm.
