Synthesizer FracN Kv Calibration (Adjustment)

(N5181B / N5182B / N5182N)

The RF ABUS Calibration and all reference calibrations must be performed prior to this adjustment.

The goal of this calibration is to determine the frac-n VCO Kv values for given frac-n frequencies. The Kv values are then used to determine the necessary gains values for the frac-n loop. The Kv values for each frac-n loop frequency index are calculated by measuring the tune voltages at the frac-n frequency index, the previous frac-n frequency index, and the next frac-n frequency index.

No additional equipment required.

Connections and Setup Procedures

All test equipment requires a 30 minute warmup period to ensure accurate performance.
