The following test verifies that the CW frequency output of the MG362x1A under test is within tolerance. Table: Frequency Synthesis Test Record contains a standard test record that you can copy and use to record test results for this test.
Setup for Frequency Synthesis Test
The following procedure tests the tolerance of the CW frequency output.
3. Record the frequency counter reading on the test record and calculate the difference between the test frequency and the measured value.
4. Verify that the calculated difference meets specifications.
Note
The frequency counter reading is typically within ±1 Hz. Differences of a few hertz can be caused by noise or counter limitations. Differences of more than ±10 Hz indicate a frequency synthesis problem.
5. Set FREQUENCY to the next test frequency.
6. Record the frequency counter reading and calculate the difference between the test frequency and the measured value.
