Frequency Span Accuracy Problems
2. Determine the harmonic-mixing number from the information in
Table 11-13 on page 569 .
3. Use the following equation to determine the 1st LO span used.
4. Refer to Table 11-12 on page 568 to determine the circuit associated
with the span.
Confirming Span Problems
1. First perform either the manual “7. YTO Adjustment” in Chapter 3 ,
or the automated “2. LO Frequency” and “3. YTO FM Coil”
adjustments in Chapter 2 .
• On the spectrum analyzer press
CAL
,
REALIGN LO &IF
, and retest
all spans.
• If the YTO adjustment has sufficient range and only LO spans of
2.01 MHz or greater are faulty; test YTO linearity by performing
step c.
• Test the span in question at different center frequencies in the
same band. If the span accuracy changes significantly (2% or
more), suspect the A11 YTO.
2. If only 1st LO spans of 2 MHz or less are faulty, suspect the A14
fractional N PLL.
3. If there are several spans in the main coil and FM coil ranges
affected, suspect the A14 span attenuator.
