SECTION I
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument Identification. This bulletin provides instructions for the
calibration of Signal Generator, SG1112V1U (8460BOPT004), SG1112V2U (8640BOPT001),
MIS-28707TY2 (8640BH66) and Hewlett-Packard, Model 8640B, Options 001, 002, 003,
004, and H66. The manufacturers’ manuals were used as the prime data sources in
compiling these instructions. The equipment being calibrated will be referred to as the TI
(test instrument) throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. Option variations are as listed below in (1) through (5).
(1) Option 001 provides a modulation oscillator that is continuously adjustable from
20 Hz to 600 kHz. The oscillator can also be set for 400 Hz or 1 kHz fixed tones.
(2) Option 002 provides an internal, active frequency doubler that extends the
frequency range of the generator to 1024 MHz (to 1100 MHz with over range).
(3) Option 003 protects the generator output circuits from accidental applications of
reverse power up to 50 W.
(4) Option 004 provides a demodulated output and modified AM circuitry for setting
very accurate AM depths. It also has a 1 dB output step attenuator in addition to the
standard 10 dB output step attenuator.
(5) Option H66 which includes option 001 provides an additional control for very fine
adjustment of the output level and improved harmonic content in the RF output signal.

b. Time and Technique. The time required for this calibration is approximately 8
hours, using the dc and low frequency and microwave technique.
2. Forms, Records, and Reports
a. Forms, records, and reports required for calibration personnel at all levels are
prescribed by TB 750-25.
b. Adjustments to be reported are designated (R) at the end of the sentence in which
they appear. When adjustments are in tables, the (R) follows the designated adjustment.
Report only those adjustments made and designated with (R).

CALIBRATION PROCESS
6. Preliminary Instructions
a. The instructions outlined in paragraphs 6 and 7 are preparatory to the calibration
process. Personnel should become familiar with the entire procedure before beginning the
calibration.
b. Items of equipment used in this procedure are referenced within the text by common
name as listed in table 2.
c. Unless otherwise specified, verify the result of each test and, whenever the test
requirement is not met, take corrective action before continuing with the calibration.
Adjustments required to calibrate the TI are included in this procedure. Additional
maintenance information is contained in the manufacturers’ manuals for this TI.
