CW, AM, FM, DSB-SC source modulation RF analyzer Spectrum monitor Transmitter power measurements Power versus time measurement Frequency error measurement QPSK EVM measurement Optional IQ capture waveform sampling Internal OCXO timebase Built-in open Windows XP PC Built-in help system Run test programs with internal or external PC GPIB, USB, and LAN connectivity and control Technical Specifications Amplitude modulation These specifications apply to an E6601A mainframe and the E6890A General Purpose Application firmware revision A.04 or higher. Specifications describe the test set’s warranted performance and are valid for the unit’s operation within ±10 °C of the last self alignment. All specifications are valid after a 30-minute warm-up period of continuous operation with valid self-alignment unless otherwise noted. If the instrument has been off for longer than 48 hours, a 48-hour warm-up period followed by self-alignment is required. Modulation frequency range 100 Hz to 100 kHz AM depth range 0 to 99.9% AM accuracy < ± 1.0% (20 kHz modulation frequency, 60% AM depth and –25 dBm output level) Total harmonic distortion < 0.5% (20 kHz modulation frequency, 60% AM depth and –25 dBm output level) Supplemental characteristics are intended to provide typical, but non-warranted, performance parameters that may be useful in applying the instrument. These characteristics are shown in italics and labeled as “typical.” All units shipped from the factory meet these typical numbers at +25 °C ambient temperature without including measurement uncertainty.
