NA RF Section
An LO synthesizer produces a single LO signal from the 90 MHz time base located on the A5 System
board. The LO output is delivered to the NA mixers of both ports. The LO frequency is always above the
measured frequency. The IF is 390 kHz.
The LO output is switched between the NA mixers and the SA first converter depending on the function
being used. At any instant in time, either the NA receivers or the SA receiver may be active, but not both
at the same time.
The 90 MHz time base is also used to generate a source signal in the source synthesizer that covers the
frequency range of 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. The source signal is generally rich in harmonic content. This is
acceptable because the signal is used with tuned receivers.
The frequency bands for the NA circuitry on the RF board are listed below:
