Abstract

The purpose of this article is to understand significance of random vibration stress screening for high frequency source module. Analysis of random vibration test with their impact on complex frequency source module performance is explained. Importance of sensitive component, structural analysis and design compensation for frequency source module are explained for random vibration test. Analysis of practically observed performance degradation results of frequency source during vibration testing is done. Performance stabilization of frequency source achieved through prior analysis, usage of filtering mechanisms and removal of measurement errors using well-defined procedure is disclosed. Solutions leads to development of frequency module performance as per design during testing.
