Checking the Signal through the Signal Separation Path
For all of the following checks, refer to the block diagrams at the end of this
chapter and to any of the following that are appropriate:

Trace loss in the signal separation group is due to one or more of the following
assemblies being defective:
— A50, A51, A52, or A53 mechanical switch and A54 combiner (A54 is only
available in 4-port models with Option 423 and 2-port models with Option
224.)
— A29, A30, A31, or A32 receiver coupler
— A38, A39, A40, or A41 source step attenuator
— A42, A43, A44, or A45 bias tee
— A33, A34, A35, and A36 test port coupler
— A71, A72, A73, and A74 bias tee combiners
Equipment Used for These Tests
To determine which assembly is defective, check the signal at each available
measurement point in the signal path from the output of the source board to
the output port.
