Theory of Operation
The GHz Module consists of two portions, the A93 Main Board and the A92 Piggy
Board. A93 contains the power supply filtering and all of the control circuitry used to
control the module. This board contains the high frequency VCO used to generate
leveled sine signals to 2.1 GHz. The main board also routes the signals from A55 to A92.
Refer to Figure 5-1 for a block diagram of the GHz Module.
A 10 MHz reference clock is provided by the A55 module from its internal
crystal/external reference circuit. The reference clock is routed through the mother board
to the VCO circuit on main. Harmonics from the synthesized VCO circuit are removed
by a switched filter system..
A92 contains the high frequency attenuator/switching relays, the fast edge circuit, the
leveled sine power amplifier and all of the high frequency connectors. The
attenuator/switching relays replace the A90 board used on A55. In fact, when the GHz
module is installed, A90 is replaced with the A91 board. The A91 contains the < 300 ps
edge circuitry but does not provide any attenuation.
The fast edge circuit uses a tunnel diode to generate a < 150 ps, 250 mV, square wave.
This is a single amplitude signal. The period/frequency is controlled by the trigger signal
from A55. A special high frequency switch is used to switch between other signals and
the fast edge signal.
The leveled sine signal is derived from A93 but the power amplifier and coupling
circuits are on this board. There is a high frequency switch used to select between the
signals on A55 and this leveled sine signal. A cable is used to route the output signal to
the high frequency switches on the front panel.
