DESCRIPTION:

The phase modulated output of the System Under Test is demodulated using a 
phase modulation test set. The harmonic levels are measured with a spectrum 
analyzer and the total harmonic distortion is calculated. A low pass filter 
is used between test oscillator and modulation section to insure that the 
modulation drive signal has less than 0.3% distortion.
