INTRODUCTION The 6062A Synthesized RF Signal Generator (referred to as the Generator or instrument) is a fully-programmable, precision, synthesized signal generator. The Generator is designed for applications that require good modulation, frequency accuracy, and output level performance with moderate spectral purity. It is well suited for testing a wide variety of RF components and systems including filters, amplifiers, mixers, and radios, particularly on-channel radio testing. The shipping container should include a 6062A Synthesized RF Signal Generator, an Operator Information Card, a Getting Started Manual, an Instruction Manual, a line power cord and two BNC dust caps. Any accessories ordered for the Generator are shipped in a separate container. Section 2, Installation and Operation, gives instructions on inspecting the new Generator and explains what to do if the instrument arrives with shipping damage. Reshipment information is also included. 1-3. SAFETY This instruction manual contains information, warnings, and cautions that should be followed to ensure safe operation and to maintain the Generator in a safe condition. The Generator is designed primarily for indoor use, and it may be operated in temperatures from 0 to 50°C without degradation of its safety. TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, USE A POWER CORD THAT HAS A THREE-PRONG PLUG. IF A PROPER POWER CORD IS NOT USED, THE 6062A CASE CAN DEVELOP AN ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL ABOVE EARTH GROUND. CAUTION To avoid damage to the 6062A, check that the rear panel line voltage selection card and fuse are correct for the line voltage in your area. The correct line voltage and fuse combinations are: 100/120V ac, ±10%, 47 to 63 Hz 220/240V ac, ±10%, 47 to 63 Hz 1.5 amp .75 amp 1-1 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Operator Information Card has an adhesive backing so it can be affixed to the top of the Generator in bench applications or to the operator console in remote applications. A copy of the card is located at the end of Section 8 of this manual as a convenient reference or for duplication. GENERATOR DESCRIPTION 1-5. Fundamental features of the Generator are as follows: ® 0.10- to • 1050- to 2100-MHz frequency range in 20-Hz steps ® +16 to -137-dBm level range in 0.!-dB steps from 0.10 to 1050 MHz • +13 to -137-dBm level range in 0.1-dB steps from 1050 to 2100 MHz • AM, FM, 0M, and Pulse, internal or external • Internal 400- and 1000-Hz modulation oscillator • Relative frequency and amplitude ® Volts/dBm conversion ® Store/ recall memory ® Instrument (or controller) prompted software compensation • 1050-MHz frequency range in 10-Hz steps Masler/slave for frequency, amplitude, and modulation functions (IEEE-488 Interface controlled.) ® Fluorescent display ® 5’/4-inches high, rack mountable 1~6. Controller Functions The Generator’s microprocessor controls all operator interface functions, performs background operations such as status checks, and updates (strobes) the front panel displays. Whether the operator is using local control with the front panel, or remote control with the IEEE-488 Interface, the microprocessor provides self test and diagnostic capability. Economical instrument performance is achieved by using software compensation and accuracyenhancement circuitry. LOCAL CONTROL 1-7. The value of the basic output parameters of the Generator (i.e., amplitude, frequency, or modulation) can be controlled in three ways: ® Direct numeric entry ® Incrementing or decrementing the bright digit ® Step-up or step-down entry where the operator can program the step size via the front Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Other controls provide selection of the modulation control, internai/external frequency reference, instrument status, and special function modes. Refer to Tables 2-1 and 2-2 for a more complete discussion. 1-8. DISPLAY FIELD The programmed values of modulation, frequency, and amplitude are displayed in the three display fields. In addition, when the operator presses the [STATUS] key, uncal and reject entry codes are displayed. The display also prompts the operator during the software compensation procedures. 1-9. REMOTE-CONTROL PROGRAMMING The IEEE-488 Interface allows the Generator to be remotely controlled with any IEEE-488 bus controller. The operator can also use the instrument on the IEEE-488 bus without a controller in a listen-only or talk-only mode by selecting the appropriate Generator rear panel IEEE-488 switch settings. POWER ON All instrument controls can be controlled remotely except the / OFF and the rear panel REF INT/EXT switches. The IEEE-488 Interface provides additional commands not available with local control, such as data transfer and individual control of internal I/O control bits. The IEEE-488 Interface allows two Generators to track amplitude, frequency, or modulation in a master/ slave configuration when the operator uses the front panel step-up and step-down entries on one of the instruments. For instance, frequency tracking is convenient for tests involving mixers, and amplitude tracking is useful for two-tone intermodulation testing. The specified frequency range is 0.10 to 2100 MHz. The frequency is synthesized from a 10-MHz reference and provides an output resolution of 10 Hz from 0.10 to 1050 MHz, and 20 Hz from 1050 to 2100 MHz. The relative frequency mode allows the operator to program the frequency in relation to a center frequency or an offset frequency. This is convenient for testing filters and mixers. The output frequency stability and accuracy depends on the reference, whether that reference is internal or external. 1-11. Reference The internal frequency reference is a lO-MHz ambient crystal oscillator. If Option -130 High Stability Reference or Option -132 Medium Stability Reference is installed, the internal oscillator is locked to the option oscillator. With the REF INT/EXT switch set to EXT, the Generator can be operated from an external I-, 2-, 2.5-, 5-, or 10-MHz, 0.3 to 4V peak-to-peak sine or square-wave reference applied to the REF IN connector. In either position of the REF INT/EXT switch, the selected reference is available as a 10-MHz signal at the rear panel 10 MHz OUT connector. The Generator has two specified signal level ranges: + 16 to -137 + 13 to -137 dBm (I.4IV to 0.1 fjY) over a frequency range of 0.10 to 1050 MHz dBm (IV to 0.033 /jY) over a frequency range of 1050 to 2100 MHz. The programming limits are +17 and -147.4 dBm, which correspond to limits of 1. 58V to 0.01 fjY. The level entry can be in dBm or volts, or it can be converted from one to the other. The Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine relative amplitude mode allows the operator to account for cascaded gain or loss by displaying the level relative to the initial setting. 1-13. Modulation The Generator has internal and external amplitude, frequency, phase, and pulse modulation capabilities. The internal modulation oscillator is selectable between 400 and lOOO Hz. AM depths ofO to 99% are available in l% steps. FM deviation ranges of I, lO, I00,and 400 kHz are 0M available in steps of i, !0, lOOHz, and kHz, respectively. deviation ranges ofO.lO, l.O, lO.O, and 40.0 radians (rad) are available in steps of O.OOl, O.OI, O.l, and O.l radians, I respectively. The internal Pulse duty cycle is approximately 50%. External Pulse allows rates from dc up to 16 M Hz, and duty cycles from 0 to 100%. OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES 1-14. The following options are available for the Generator: Option -130 High-Stability (Ovened) Reference Option -132 Medium-Stability Reference Option -651 Low-Rate FM (External only) Option -830 Rear Panel RF Output, Input, and Pulse MOD MOD Input Section 6 provides more detailed information on the options.

This section contains information for an initial inspection, setting up the instrument, general operating information, and local and remote operation. 2-2. INITIAL INSPECTION The Generator is shipped in a special protective container that should prevent damage during shipment. Check the shipping order against the contents of the container, and report any damage or short shipment to the place of purchase or the nearest Fluke Technical Service Center. Instructions for inspection and claims are included on the shipping container. If reshipment of the Generator is necessary, please use the original shipping container. If the original container is not available, use a container that provides adequate protection during shipment, it is recommended that the Generator be protected by at least three inches of shock-absorbing material on all sides of the container. Do not use loose fill to pad the shipping container. Loose fill allows the Generator to settle to one corner of the shipping container, which could result in the Generator being damaged during shipment. 2-3. SETTING UP THE GENERATOR describe how to set up the Generator for operation. This information includes; line power requirements, line voltage selection procedures, fuse replacement procedures, and rack mounting instructions. The following paragraphs 2-4. Line Power Requirements The Generator uses a line voltage of 100 or 120V ac rms (± 10%) with a I.5A fuse; or 220V or 240V ac (± 10%) with a 0.75 A fuse. The line frequency must be between 48 to 63 Hz. The power consumption of the instrument is <180 VA with a full option complement. 2 Line Voltage and Fuse Selection Verify that the intended line power source matches the line voltage setting of the Generator before plugging in the line power cord. Refer to Figure 2-1 to set the line voltage of the Generator to match the available source. Figure 2-1 also shows how to replace the line fuse of the Generator. The correct fuse value for each of the four line voltages is listed on a plate attached to the rear panel of the Generator. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NSTALLATION AND OPERATION 2-6, IEEE-488 Address The IEEE-488 address can be selected using the switches located next to the IEEE-488 connector on the rear panel. Talk-only and listen-only modes can also be selected on this switch. NOTE To meet the specified radiated emissions, the IEEE-488 connector must he terminated with a shielded IEEE-488 cable, such as a Fluke Y8021. 2-7. RACK OR BENCH MOUNTING THE GENERATOR Allow at least 3 inches of clearance behind and on each side of the Generator to ensure proper air circulation. The Generator may be placed directly on a work bench or mounted in a standard (24-inch deep) equipment rack. Use the Fluke Y6001 Rack Mount Kit for mounting the Generator on an equipment rack. Instructions for installing the Generator with the Rack Mount Kit are provided in the kit. The outside dimensions of the Generator are shown in Figure 2-2. The Rack Mount Kit is composed of the following parts: 5’4-inch Rack Adapter, P/N M05-205-600 24-inch Rack Slides, P/N MOO-280-610 2-8. GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION The following paragraphs contain general information on the operation of the Generator. This includes all the information required to familiarize the operator with the instrument and the differences between local and remote operation. 2-9. Familiarization The Generator normally operates on an internal reference oscillator. However, if desired, the Generator can be operated on an external reference by setting the rear panel REF INT/ EXT switch to EXT and connecting the external reference to the REF IN connector. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FRONTT Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the Generator is operating on the internal reference, a 10-MHz signal is present at the 10 MHz OUT connector on the rear panel. To meet the specified radiated emissions, this connector must be terminated with a BNC non-shorting dust cap. A dust cap, JF 478982, is supplied with the Generator, if a cable is connected, it must be a double-shielded coaxial cable such as RG-223 terminated in a SO-ohm load. Output spectral degradation occurs if the Generator is operated on internal reference with an external reference signal applied. Figure 2-3 shows the front panel controls, indicator, and connectors and Table 2-I describes the features. Figure 2-4 shows the rear panel controls, connectors, and switches and Table 2-2 describes the features. 2-10. Local Versus Remote Operation Two modes of controlling the output of the Generator are local operation and remote operation. In the local operation mode, the operator uses the keys on the front panel to control The remote operation mode uses an IEEE-488 controller to control the Generator through the IEEE-488 Interface. An overview of local operation is presented under the heading Local and Remote Control Operations. The local and remote control operations that have similar entry methods are also described under Local and Remote Control Operations. The paragraphs under the heading Remote Operation contain information on commands or descriptions that pertain only to remote operations. the Generator. 2-11. Power-On Sequence When the Generator is turned on, a power-on sequence starts. During the power-on sequence, the microprocessor tests the analog circuitry, the program ROM, the scratch-pad RAM, the compensation memory, and the front panel displays. The front panel displays are tested by lighting all segments for a brief period at the same time the rest of the self tests are performed. If any of the self tests fail, an error code is displayed. If the operator initiates any front panel entry before the power-on sequence is completed, the self test is aborted, and the Generator is set to the state it was in when turned off. Table 2-3 lists the Instrument Preset State. Power-on instrument settings that relate to the IEEE-488 Interface are described in the Remote Operation paragraphs in this section. More detail on the power-on self tests are explained in Section 4D. 2-12.
