PREFACE

This manual (VOL.2) describes how to test the performance of the R3267 Series. A separate volume (VOL.1) describes the oper ations, perfo rmance and remote prog ramming of the R326 7 Series.

(1) Configuration of this manual

1. Performance Verification Describes how to test performance.

(2) Typeface conventions used in this manual

• Panel keys and soft keys are printed in a contrasting typestyle to make them stand out from the text as follows:

Panel keys: Boldface type Example: FREQ, FORMAT Soft keys: Boldface and italic type Example: Center, Trace Detector

• When a series of key operations are described using a comma between two keys.

• There are various soft menus used to switch between two states such as ON/OFF and AUTO/MNL. For example, when turning off the Display ON/OFF function, the annotation "Display ON/ OFF(OFF)" is used. When switching the RBW AUTO/MNL function to MNL, the annotation "RBW AUTO/MNL(MNL)" is used.

1 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION

This chapter explains how to check the R3267 Series. We recommend that you have a copy of the performance check sheet with you when performing these checks . If a prob lem occurs with th e R3267 Seri es, contact ADVANTEST service center with measurement data filled out on the performance check sheet (including the model, s erial n umber and so on ). For i nformati on on how to s hip the R3267 Series for repa irs, refer to Section 1.5.3, "Transporting" in Vol.1.

NOTE: Perform the CAL ALL before starting this performance verification tests.

1.1 Preparation

This chapter decribes the instruments using on this performance verification tests.

NOTE:

1. The R3267 Series to be tested should be warmed up for at least 30 minutes before starting tests. Any additional instrument used for this performance verification tests should be warmed up as appropriate.

2. Make sure that the test instrument used meets its own published specifications and that all connectors are clean, before starting test. All connectors should be firmly connected.

1.2.8 Frequency Response

This section explains how to check the frequency response of the spectrum analyzer. The s ignal generator signal is fed through a power splitter and the power level is monitored with a power meter. A signal of 30 MHz is positioned at the display center of the spectrum analyzer so that its level can be used as the reference value. For each frequency band, a signal with the specified frequency is set so that it can always be displayed in the display center of the spectrum analyzer and the level relative to the 30 MHz signal is measured.

Specifications:

Set the input attenuator to 10 dB. The frequency ranges for frequency bands 1 thru 3 are valid only after the preselector has been adjusted.

1.2.17 Second Harmonic Distortion

This section explains how to check the second harmonic distortion. The output of the sign al generator is input to the spectrum analyzer through a low-pass filter, the second harmonic distortion frequency is set to the spectrum analyzer center frequency , and then the second harmonic dist ortion is meas ured. Th e lowpass filter is used to eliminate any harmonic distortion originating at the signal source. The signal generator frequency reference source is supplied from the spectrum analyzer.

Specifications:

R3264:

less than -70 dBc: 10 MHz to 3.5 GHz (-30 dBm mixer input level)

R3267:

less than -70 dBc: 10 MHz to 3.5 GHz (-30 dBm mixer input level) less than -90 dBc: >1.6 MHz (-10 dBm mixer input level)

R3273:

less than -70 dBc: 10 MHz to 3.5 GHz (-30 dBm mixer input level) less than -100 dBc: >3.5 GHz (-10 dBm mixer input level)
