TB 9-6625-103-24
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument Identification.
This bulletin provides instructions for the
calibration of Signal Generator SG-1366/U Agilent, Model N5183M. The procurement
specifications were used as the prime data source in compiling these instructions. The
equipment being calibrated will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout this
bulletin.
a. Model Variations. None.
b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 5
hours, using the dc and low frequency and microwave techniques.
2. Forms, Records, and Reports. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration
personnel at all levels are prescribed by TB 750-25.
3. Calibration Description. TI parameters and performance specifications which
pertain to this calibration are listed in table 1.
