6060B Synthesized Signal Generator

Section 1
Introduction and Specifications
1-1. INTRODUCTION
The 6060B Synthesized 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 awide variety of
RF components and systems including filters, amplifiers, mixers, and radios, particularly
on-channel radio testing.
1-2. UNPACKING THE GENERATOR
This shipping container should include a6060B Signal Generator, an Operator
Information Card, aGetting Started Manual, an Instruction Manual, and aline power
cord. Any accessories ordered for the Generator are shipped in aseparate container.
Section 2, Installation and Operation, gives instructions on inspecting your new
Generator, and 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 asafe condition.
The Generator is designed primarily for indoor use, and it may be operated in
temperatures from 0°C to and 50* Cwithout degradation of its safety.
WARNING
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, USE A POWER CORD THAT HAS ATHREE-
PRONG PLUG. IP YOU DO NOT USE APROPER POWER CORD, THE 6060B
CASE CAN DEVELOP AN ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL ABOVE EARTH GROUND.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the 6060B, 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:
LINE VOLTAGE FUSE
100/120V ac, ±10%, 47 Hz to 63 Hz 1.5 AMP
220/240V ac, ±10%, 47 Hz to 63 Hz .75 AMP
1-1

INTRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1-4. OPERATOR INFORMATION CARD
The Operator Information Card has an adhesive backing so it may 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 8of this manual as aconvenient reference
or for duplication.
1-5. GENERATOR DESCRIPTION
Fundamental features of the Generator are as follows:
0.01-MHz to 1050-MHz frequency range in 10-Hz steps
+I3-dB to -127-dBm level range in 0.1-dB steps
AM and FM, internal or external
Internal 400-Hz and lOOO-Hz modulation oscillator
Relative frequency and amplitude
Volts/ dBm conversion
Store/recall memory
Master/slave for frequency, amplitude, and modulation step (IF.EE488 Interface
controlled.)
Fluorescent display
51/4-inches high, rack mountable
1-6. Controller Functions
The Controller microprocessor controls all operator interface functions, performs
background operations such as status checks, and updates (strobes) the front panel
displays. Whether you are using local control with the front panel, or remote control with
the IEEE-488 Interface option, the microprocessor provides .self test and diagnostic
capability. Economical instrument performance is achieved by using software
compensation EPROMs and accuracy-enhancement circuitry.
1-7. LOCAL CONTROL
The value of the basic output parameters of the Generator, i.c., 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 step size can be operator programmed
Other controls provide selection of the POWER ON/OFF, RF OUTPUT ON/OFF,
MODULATION ON/OFF, internal/external frequency reference, and STATUS.
1-8. DISPLAY FIELD
The programmed values of modulation, frequency, and amplitude are displayed in the
three display fields.
1-2

INTRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1-9. REMOTE-CONTROL PROGRAMMING
The Option -488 IEEE-488 Interface allows the Generator to be remotely controlled with
any IEEE-488 bus controller. The instrument can also be used on the 1EEE“488 bus
without acontroller in alisten-only or talk-only mode by selecting the appropriate
Generator rear panel IEEE-488 switch settings.
All instrument controls can be remotely controlled except the POWER ON/OFF and the
rear panel REF INT/EXT switches. The Option -488 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 Option -488 IEEE’488 Interface allows two Generators to track amplitude,
frequency, or modulation in amaster/ slave configuration when using 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.
1-10- Frequency
The specified frequency range is 0.01 to 1050 MHz. The frequency is synthesized from a
10-MHz reference and provides an output resolution of 10 Hz over the entire frequency
range. The relative frequency mode allows the frequency to be programmed in relation to
acenter 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 a10-MHz ambient crystal oscillator. If Option -130
High Stability Reference or the option -132 Medium Stability Reference is installed, that
oscillator is locked to the internal crystal oscillator. With the rear panel REF INT/ EXT
switch set to INT, the Generator output frequency is synthesized from the internal
10“MHz crystal oscillator reference, and the internal oscillator (timebase) signal is
available at the 10 MHz OUT connector.
The Generator can be operated from an external 10-MHz timebase by setting the rear
panel REF INT/EXT switch to EXT and applying atimebase signal to the REF IN
connector.
With the REF INT/EXT switch set to EXT, the Generator can be operated from an
external 1-, 2-, 2.5-, 5-, or 10-MHz, 0.3V to 4V peak-to-peak sine or square-wave
reference applied to the REF IN connector. In either position of the INT/EXT switch,
the selected reference is available as alO-MHz signal at the rear panel 10 MHz OUT
connector.
1-12. Amplitude
The Generator has a specified signal level range from +13 to -127 dBm with programming
limits of+19 and -147.4 dBm. This corresponds to specified terminated voltages of IV to
0.1 /xV and limits of 2V to 0.01 /iV, respectively. The maximum usable signal level is
approximately +15 dBm. The level entry can be in dBm or volts, or it can be converted
from one to the other. In addition, the relative amplitude mode allows you to account for
cascaded gain or loss, or to display the level (in dB) relative to 1mV or 1mV.
1-13. Modulation
Both internal and external amplitude modulation and frequency modulation capability is
available. The internal modulation oscillator is selectable between 400 Hz and 1000 Hz.
1-3

INTRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
AM depths of()% to 99% are available in 1% steps. FM deviation ranges of IkHz, 10 kHz,
and 100 kHz are available in steps of 1Hz, 10 Hz, and 100 Hz, respectively.

Some semiconductors and custom iC’s can be
damaged by electrostatic discharge during
handling. This notice explains how you can
minimize the chances of destroying such devices
by:
1. Knowing that there is aproblem.
2. Learning the guidelines for handling them.
3. Using the probedures, and packaging and
bench techniques that are recommended.
The Static Sensitive (S.S.) devices are identified in the Fluke techhiCal manual pdrts list with the symbol
2. KEEP PARTS IN ORIGINAL CONTAINERS
UNTIL READY FOR USE. 4. HANDLE S.S. DEVICES BY THE BODY
