1-1. 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 awide variety of RF components and
systems including filters, amplifiers, mixers, and radios, particularly on-channel radio testing.
The shipping container should include a6062A Synthesized RF Signal Generator, an
Operator Information Card, a Getting Started Manual, an Instruction Manual, aline 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 asafe condition.
The Generator is designed primarily for indoor use, and it may be operated in temperatures
from 0to 50°C without degradation of its safety.
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, USE APOWER CORD THAT HAS A
THREE-PRONG PLUG. IF APROPER 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

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. Acopy 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:
®0.10- to 1050-MHz frequency range in 10-Hz steps
•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
•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 back-
ground 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. Economi-
cal instrument performance is achieved by using software compensation and accuracy-
enhancement circuitry.
1-7. LOCAL CONTROL
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

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 alisten-only or talk-only mode by selecting the appropriate Generator rear panel
IEEE-488 switch settings.
All instrument controls can be controlled remotely except the POWER ON/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 amaster/ 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 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 alO-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 a10-MHz signal at the rear panel 10 MHz OUT connector.
The Generator has two specified signal level ranges:
+16 to -137 dBm (I.4IV to 0.1 fjY) over afrequency range of 0.10 to 1050 MHz
+13 to -137 dBm (IV to 0.033 /jY) over afrequency 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

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
available in steps of i, !0, lOOHz, and IkHz, respectively. 0M 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,
respectively. The internal Pulse duty cycle is approximately 50%. External Pulse allows rates
from dc up to 16 MHz, and duty cycles from 0to 100%.
1-14. OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES
The following options are available for the Generator:
Option -130 High-Stability (Ovened) Reference

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 acontainer 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
The following paragraphs 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.
2-4. Line Power Requirements
The Generator uses aline voltage of 100 or 120V ac rms (± 10%) with aI.5A fuse; or 220V or
240V ac (± 10%) with a0.75 Afuse. The line frequency must be between 48 to 63 Hz. The power
consumption of the instrument is <180 VA with afull option complement.
2Line 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 aplate attached to the rear panel of the Generator.

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 ashielded IEEE-488 cable, such as aFluke Y8021.
2-7. RACK OR BENCH MOUNTING THE GENERATOR
Allow at least 3inches of clearance behind and on each side of the
Generator to ensure proper air circulation.
The Generator may be placed directly on awork bench or mounted in astandard (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.

FRONTT

When the Generator is operating on the internal reference, a10-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 aBNC
non-shorting dust cap. Adust cap, JF 478982, is supplied with the
Generator, if acable is connected, it must be adouble-shielded coaxial
cable such as RG-223 terminated in aSO-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 Generator. 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.
2-11. Power-On Sequence
When the Generator is turned on, apower-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 abrief 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. Changing Output Parameters
The six parameters of the Generator (i.e., frequency, amplitude, amplitude modulation (AM),
frequency modulation (FM), phase modulation (0M), and pulse modulation) may be
individually changed by at least one of three methods;
