Summary
Introduction
The TeMronix 2707 External Tracking Generator
is
a powerful tool for rnea­suring the frequency response of a variety of active and passive devices. You can use the External Tracking Generator to determine the frequency response of the following:
filters
H
crystals
amplifiers cables
w
most other two-port devices
The standard External Tracking Generator has a 50 R output
and
is con­trolled by either the TeMronix 271 1 or 2712 Spectrum Analyzer. The External Tracking Generator with Option 01 has a
75
R
output and is controlled with
a TeMronix
271
4
Spectrum Analyzer.
The
External Tracking Generator produces an
RF
sine wave signal whose output frequency tracks the frequency being analyzed by the controlling spectrum analyzer. For example, if the spectrum analyzer is sweeping from
55
MHz
to
300
MHz, the output frequency of the External Tracking Generator
sweeps synchronously from
55
MHz to 300 MHz. You can compensate for circuit drift or propagation delays through the device under test by offsetting the External Tracking Generator slightly (typically
-5
kHz
to $60
kHz)
with
respect to the spectrum analyzer frequency.
You can vary the output level of the standard External Tracking Generator from
-48
dBm to
0
dBm
(or the equivalent in other reference level units available on the spectrum analyzer). You can vary the output level of the External Tracking Generator with Option 01 from -1.2
dBmV
(-50
dBm)
to
46.8
dBmV (-2 dBm). You can also use the front-panel
LEVEL
control on
the spectrum analyzer to vary the External Tracking Generator output level.

ing steps.
Preparing the Spectrum Analyzer
1.
Turn the spectrum analyzer bottom side up.
2.
Slide the four stud plates into their mounting slots on the cabinet of the
spectrum analyzer.
3.
Install an
8-32
nut on each of the threaded studs. The nuts are used as spacers to provide clearance for the front cover of the spectrum analyzer.
4.
Position the mounting plate so that the cutouts for the feet and the holes
for the threaded studs align properly.
5.
Secure the mounting plate to the studs with four.
832
nuts and four flat
washers.

Normalizing the External Tracking Generator
The External Tracking Generator is normalized by determining the VCO voltage needed to center its output signal in the narrowest resolution band­width filter at 100 MHz. Its output amplitude at 100 MHz is then measured by the spectrum analyzer and properly adjusted as it is stepped through its entire range.

Operation
To ensure maximum accuracy when making External Tracking Generator
measurements, the External Tracking Generator must first be normalized.
Because External Tracking Generator normalizations depend on the spec­trum analyzer reference, the instrument normalizations must be valid to achieve optimum results. Refer to your spectrum analyzer user manual for information about normalizing the spectrum analyzer.
To normalize the External Tracking Generator, ensure the instrument has warmed up for at least
15
minutes and is in spectral display mode.

3-6
Operation
Operation
External Tracking Generator normalization is not continuously monitored by
the spectrum
analyzer. To avoid inaccuracies due to temperature differ­ences, long-term drift, or other causes, we recommend that you periodically normalize the External Tracking Generator during long measurement ses­sions, or readjust the tracking to keep narrow resolution bandwidth filters properly aligned.
In some spectrum analyzers, the peak of the 5 MHz resolution bandwidth
filter does not occur precisely at the center of its bandpass. This can result
in small amplitude differences when switching from the 5 MHz filter to nar-
rower filters. Relative responses using the 5 MHz filter are not affected. To determine the amount of error (if any), make an External Tracking Generator measurement using first the
5
MHz
filter and then the 300 kHz filter (the
300
kHz filter is symmetric about its peak response). Note the difference and
correct any absolute power measurements that you make with the
5
MHz
filter by that amount.
Setting the External Tracking Generator Amplitude
In many cases, you may want to increase the -48 dBm ( -1.26 dBmV for Option 01) External Tracking Generator output level. For instance, when using the 5 MHz resolution bandwidth filter, a -48
dBm (-1 -26 dBmV for
Option 01) signal is hidden in the instrument noise floor.
1.
To reset the output amplitude, press the DEMODfrG Menu key (DEMOD for the 2714).
2. Select item 5, TG FIXED
LEVEL.
Following the on-screen prompts, enter
a new value of
-
10.0 dBm (+38.8 dBmV for Option 01).
3.
Press DEMODnG (or DEMOD) to return to the spectral display. Notice that the new amplitude value is now shown at the lower left of the screen.
4.
Ensure that a cable with the appropriate impedance is connected from the TG OUTPUT connector to the RF INPUT input of the spectrum analyzer. Activate the video filter and reset the reference level to
+I
0
dBm (+58.75 dBmV for Option 01).
The combined External Tracking Generatorlspectrum analyzer frequency
response across the entire input frequency range of the spectrum analyzer is displayed. You may find that the flatness of the response varies slightly as you change the External Tracking Generator output level. This is normal. However, any variation in flatness can be removed
like this:
a
Establish the test parameters including center frequency, span, resolu-
tion bandwidth, reference level, and External Tracking Generator output. Conduct all measurements in the B,C MINUS A mode. This approach
subtracts out the variations in combined External Tracking Generator1 spectrum analyzer response, leaving only the response of the device.
w
Connect the TG OUTPUT to the RF INPUT of the spectrum analyzer, and save the resulting sweep in the
A
register.
Insert the device to be tested.

Rotate the

rise above the A sweep. Note that the indicated
TG
output amplitude
has not changed.
NOTE
The
TG
output level is not calibrated
when
TG
Variable Level
is
active.
When the variable level control is set above the fixed level,
it
is possible to
slightly compress the TG OUTPUT signal, which may cause some degrada-
tion of the second harmonic specification. This is normally not a problem with passive linear devices, but can result in some intermodulation products
with nonlinear components, and spurious radiation from active devices,
such as modulators or transmitters.
To
avoid these problems, we suggest
that you use the External Tracking Generator fixed level and instrument
reference level controls to move signals vertically on the screen rather than
using the variable-level feature.
6.
Now clear the A register and toggle the TG VARIABLE LEVEL to OFF.
Adjusting the
Tracking
The TG tracking
is
the amount by which the External Tracking Generator
output frequency is offset from the frequency currently being analyzed by
the spectrum analyzer. The tracking can typically be adjusted from
-5
kHz
to
+60
kHz. For most measurements, the tracking is not turned on
(tracking
=
0
Hz).

Operation
Operation
However, it is necessary to adjust the tracking to ensure the External Track­ing Generator signal is centered in the instrument resolution bandwidth filter
when the following conditions occur:
rn
you take measurements with a very narrow resolution bandwidth filter the device under test creates a significant delay between its input and
output ports (a long cable)

To see how the tracking adjustment works, first set the center frequency and span as follows:

The 3 kHz resolution bandwidth is automatically selected, and the
display is a single horizontal line at approximately -1

Save the display in register
A.
3. Press DEMODRG (DEMOD for

TG
tracking.

Press a
MENU
key to return to the spectral display. It is unchanged
except for the message
TRKG

at the lower right of the screen.
5.
Turn the FREQIMKRS knob several clicks clockwise. The indicated tracking should change by approximately 30 Hz per click, but nothing
else happens.
6.
Continue turning the knob clockwise until the D-register sweep de­creases
6
dB relative to the A sweep.
7.
Now turn the knob counterclockwise until the D-register sweep again decreases
6
dB.
The
indicated tracking should change polarity. You
have offset the
TG output to the 6 dB down points of the 3 kHz resolu-
tion bandwidth filter.
Whenever you make measurements with the 3 kHz or 300 Hz filter, always
peak the response with the tracking control to ensure you are measuring the maximum signal. Further, whenever you use the 3 kHz or
300
Hz filter to test a device that imposes a significant group delay on the received signal (such as a long cable), vary the tracking to ensure the instrument is correctly
peaked. Because the External Tracking Generator signal is delayed, it lags behind the spectrum analyzer frequency by an amount that depends on the
sweep rate and the group delay.
8. Unsave (clear) the A register.

Using
External
Amplification/Attenuation
It is possible to insert another device such as an impedance matching network, attenuator, or amplifier between the output of the External Tracking Generator and the device under test. You can account for the gain or attenu­ation (and impedance change) introduced by the device. The altered output level appears on screen. This feature is a valuable aid whether recording data photographically, with a printer or plotter, or over the GPIB.
For instance, you
may
want to drive the device under test with a
+
10
dBm
(58.75
dBmV for Option
01)
signal. You can do this by setting the output of
the External Tracking Generator to
-
10
dBm
(38.8
dBmV for Option

and
inserting a
+20
dB amplifier between the External Tracking Generator and the device under test. In another case, you may wish to drive the External Tracking Generator at the full output of
0 dBm
(+46.8
dBmV for Option Ol),
but insert an external impedance matching pad to produce a better standing
wave ratio
(SWR).
