Troubleshooting Performance Test Problems

This section describes the available Agilent MXG signal generator performance tests. These performance tests verify that the signal 
generator meets specifications.

IMPORTANT

All test equipment configurations, cables and adapters must be properly torqued. Exceeding recommended torque values 
can cause damage to a cable or adapter, and may cause inaccurate test results.

Manual Performance Test Problems

When a manual performance test fails or self tests, performed as part of the manual performance test, fails, use this table to locate the most 
likely faulty assembly or action to perform. The tests are listed in the order they should be performed.

Performance test that is failing...

Action to perform...

I/Q Calibration (N5162A/82A only)

•

Replace the A2 Vector Module assembly.

Self-Tests

•

Go to 

“Running Self Test” on page 1-16

.

Relative Frequency Range and Accuracy Verification

•

Replace the A3 RF assembly

a

.

a

After replacing the A3 RF assembly in a model N5183A instrument, go to 

Chapter 4, "Post-Repair Procedures and Performance Verification"

.

Leveled Output Power Verification

•

For the N5161A/81A signal generator, replace the A3 RF assembly.

•

For the N5162A/82A signal generator, ensure that digital modulation is turned off by pressing 
the following keys:

1.

Mode

 > 

Dual Arb

 > 

Arb Off/On

 - until Off is highlighted

2.

Mode

 > 

Real Time I/Q Baseband AWGN

 > 

Real-time AWGN Off/On

 - until Off is highlighted

3.

Re-run the Leveled Output Power Verification test.

—

If the signal generator passes the Leveled Output Power Verification test, replace 
the A2 Vector Module.

—

If the signal generator does not pass the Leveled Output Power Verification test, 
replace the A3 RF assembly.

•

For the N5183A signal generator, go to 

“No Output Power or Output Power is Unleveled 

(N5183A)” on page 1-40

.

Phase Noise (N5183A only)
