IF Phase Ripple

This test is only available in the Normal Variant test plan. Refer to the Test System Variants section of Getting Started for more information.

In this test, an arbitrary waveform synthesizer is connected to the RF input. The source is set to output 64 tones in groups of 8 tones which are generated synchronously. The tones are measured in groups to reduce error due to noise. An algorithm is applied to the measurement data to determine the relative phase between the tones.
