I3
Deep mode offers reduced distortion for very deep AM. Waveform is DC-coupled and
feedback-leveled at ALC levels above -13 dBm. At ALC levels below -13 dBm, output
is DC-controllable, but subject to typical sample-and-hold drift of 0.25
dB/second.
I4
The HP 8360 has two unleveled modes, ALC off and search. In ALC off mode, the
modulator drive can be controlled from the front panel to vary quiescent RF output
level. In search mode, the instrument microprocessor momentarily closes the ALC loop
to find the modulator drive setting necessary to make the quiescent RF output level
equal to an entered value, then opens the ALC loop while maintaining that modulator
drive setting. Neither of these modes is feedback leveled.
l5
Modulation depth is 40 dB below maximum available power for frequencies > 20 GHz
on HP 83640A and HP
83650A.
