Measuring the VCO Tuning Constant
The following procedure describes the HP 3048A process for measuring
the VCO Tuning Constant.
1.
The HP 3048A drives the VCO's tune port to -45%, -15%, +15%,
+45%
of the defined Voltage Tuning Range and measures the fre-
quency of the beatnote at each of these settings.
2.
The ±15% frequencies are used to derive the limits for the ±45%
frequencies. The HP 3048A requires that at ±45% of the Voltage
Tuning Range the VCO's tuning response must be within 1.5 to 6 times
the frequency of the ±15% points.
3.
The HP 3048A verifies that the frequencies measured at ±45% of the
Voltage Tuning Range are within these computed limits.
NOTE
The VCO Tuning Constant must be monotonic and have a
slope other than zero in addition to meeting the linearity
requirements.
4.
If the ±45% points are within the limits, the system uses the slope
between the ±15% points as the VCO Tuning Constant.
Center Frequencies not at Center Voltage
If the center frequency for the measurement (fa) is not at the specified
center voltage, then the fa and fa frequencies must be translated relative
to the center frequency offset as well as the ±45% limits.
