A significant indication of correct LF phase is that the pair of the intermediate peaks are equal 
in amplitude.

3.1.3.2 Two-frequency system

Connect oscilloscope channel A to the BNC test connector labelled CSB located on LPA/GPA 
Course 1 (2).

Connect oscilloscope channel B to the BNC test connector labelled CSB located on LPA/GPA 
Clearance 1 (2).

Set oscilloscope input mode to DC. Select CHOP mode.

Adjust channel A and B gain so that both waveforms show the same amplitude.

By means of the RMM turn off 90 Hz modulation for Course Tx and Clearance Tx.

On Low Frequency generator LF1223A Tx1 (Tx2) adjust 

150 Hz COU phase adj.

 R3 to phys-

ical centre position.

Adjust 

150 Hz CLR phase adj.

 R180 to track 150 Hz Course waveform in the same phase 

(waveform overlap).

By means of the RMM turn on 90 Hz modulation for both Course Tx and Clearance Tx.

Adjust

 90 Hz COU phase adj.

 R1 (LF1223A) observing oscilloscope channel A until the 

waveform equals left hand graph in Figure 7-2.

Adjust

 90 Hz CLR phase adj.

 R179 (LF1223A) observing oscilloscope channel B until the 

waveform equals left hand graph in Figure 7-2.

A significant indication of correct LF phase is that the pair of the intermediate peaks are equal 
in amplitude.

3.1.4

RF Power Balance Adjustment

Connect the oscilloscope to the BNC test connector labelled SBO located on the transmitter 
modules.

NOTE:

Set the scope's input mode to DC.
