FM deviation accuracy is checked for CW frequencies from 500 MHz to 1.0 GHz. If the DUT meets the accuracy specification in this frequency range, accuracy in all other frequency ranges will be assured.
A measuring receiver is used to demodulate the FM signal and indicate the recovered FM deviation. The measuring receiver is calibrated prior to the measurement.
