Requirements

For the Automatic IF Adjustment routine to work, the spectrum analyzer must provide the

following basic functions:

Power supplies

Control signals

ADC

10 MHz Frequency Reference to the A4 Log Amp/Cal Oscillator

Al5 RF Assembly isolation from the RF signal during IF adjustment.

Al5 RF Assembly isolation is a function of the REDIR signal in the Al5 Flatness
Compensation Control block.

The references against which the Automatic IF Adjustment routine aligns are:

10 MHz reference (A15)

Linear Scale Fidelity, especially the 10

gain stage in A4 Linear Amplifier block.

Reference Attenuator (A5)

A4 Log Amp/Cal Oscillator output power

IF Section 8-11
