RF Switch Functional Check
This section provides the procedures to check if the respective RF switches of each test port are working
properly.
Equipment Required for VNA System with MN4694C
•
Anritsu Model 3652A K Connector Calibration Kit (For MN4694C)
•
Anritsu Model 3670K50-2 K Connector Through Cable (For MN4694C)
Equipment Required for VNA System with MN4697C
•
Anritsu Model 3654D V Connector Calibration Kit (For MN4697C)
•
Anritsu Model 3670V50B-2 V Connector Through Cable (For MN4697C)
Procedure
1.
Set up the VNA for S11 Log Mag graph type Single Display.
2.
Connect a short to Port 1 of the VNA.
3.
Observe if there is any abnormality in the S11 trace (e.g. power roll off in the low frequency band, power
drop off in the entire low band or high band, and etc.).
4.
If no abnormalities are observed, then the switches are working properly for Port 1.
5.
Change the VNA display for S22.
6.
Disconnect the Short from Port 1 and connect it to Port 2 of the VNA.
7.
Observe if there is any abnormality in the S22 trace (e.g. power roll off in the low frequency band, power
drop off in the entire low band or high band, and etc.).
8.
If no abnormalities are observed, then the switches are working properly for Port 2.
9.
If abnormalities are observed, determine if the fault is in the Source Channel RF switch or b Channel RF
switch by do the following:
a.
Change the VNA display for S31.
b.
Connect a through cable between Port 1 and Port 3.
c.
Observe if the same abnormality appears on S31 trace.
d.
If yes, check the control cable connection to the respective b Channel RF Switch, replace the High
Band SPDT Switch Control PCB (if applicable), and then replace the respective b Channel RF
Switch.
•
For example, if abnormality is shown below 2.5 GHz, replace the b Channel Low Band
Switch.
e.
If no, check the control cable connection to the respective Source Channel RF Switch, replace the
High Band SPDT Switch Control PCB (if applicable), and then replace the respective Source
Channel RF Switch.
10.
Repeat
through
for Port 3 and Port 4 of the test set. Set the VNA display for S33, S44 and
then S13 for the tests.
Note
Port 1 and Port 2 share the same set of RF switches. Port 3 and Port 4 share a separate set of RF
switches.
