General Troubleshooting of the 3739A Test Set

This section provides general troubleshooting procedures of the 3739A Test Set.

Suggested Troubleshooting Steps

The suggested troubleshooting steps for 3739A Test Set are as follows:

•

Verify that the DC voltages from the power supply are at the expected level. Refer to

“Troubleshooting

Test – 3739A Power Supply DC Check” on page 6-8

•

Verify that the DC bias voltages of RF components and fan assembly are present on the Test Set A1 Bias

Control PCB Assembly. Refer to

“Troubleshooting Test – 3739A A1 Bias Control PCB DC Bias Check”

on page 6-10

•

Verify that the power level of the Port 1 RF port and Port 2 RF port are at the expected level. Refer to

“Troubleshooting – 3739A Test Set Port Power Level Check” on page 6-11

•

Verify that the power level of the Port 1 LO port and Port 2 LO port are at the expected level. Refer to

“Troubleshooting – 3739A Test Set Port Power Level Check” on page 6-11

Note

If RF port and LO port power levels are at the expected level, then the fault most likely lies in the
Millimeter-Wave Module that is connected to the respective port.
