HP 8562E, Service Manual

The assembly contains a reference limiting amplifier. This amplifier provides a known amount
of limiting for the automatic IF adjustment routines. (Limiting occurs only during the
automatic IF adjustment routines.) The
switches are open during sweeps. The
current in the reference limiter is increased during sweeps to prevent limiting.
For troubleshooting, it is recommended that you use an active probe, such as
an HP
and another spectrum analyzer. If an HP 1120A active probe
is being used with a spectrum analyzer having dc-coupled inputs, such as the
HP
HP and the HP either set the active probe
for an ac-coupled output or use a dc-blocking capacitor between the active
probe and the spectrum analyzer input.
n
Do not short control voltages to ground. These voltages are not short-circuit
protected. damaged by shorting these voltages might not fail until
several weeks after the shorting takes place.
Do not short power-supply voltages to ground. The HP 85623 spectrum
analyzer power-supply current limiting cannot protect the resistors in series
with the power supply.
Some transistors have collectors connected to the case. Electrical connection
of the case to the collector might not be reliable, making collector voltage
measurements on the transistor case unreliable.
1. Disconnect W27 (coax 3) from
2. Connect an SMB tee to using a short coaxial cable with SMB connectors.
3. Connect one output of the tee to cable W27 (coax 3).
4. Connect an HP 85024A active probe, with a divider installed, to the other output of
the tee.
5. Connect the output (type N connector) of the active probe to the input of the
HP spectrum analyzer.
6. Connect the probe power cable to the HP 85623 spectrum analyzer front-panel PROBE
POWER connector (you may need to use a probe power extension cable, HP 10131B).
