A30 100 MHz VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
100 MHz Oscillator A
REFERENCE UNLOCK
The output of the 100 MHz VCXO should be phaselocked at 100 MHz.
When troubleshooting the VCXO for a REFERENCE UNLOCK, first
disconnect the cable at A30Jl, the 100 MHz OUT signal to the A29
Reference Phase Detector. This breaks the Reference loop. Apply
-8.0 Vdc to the TUNE test point, TPl {on the top cover of the
casting that houses the bo�rd)
•
This should tune the oscillator to
100 MHz +100 Hz. {For this test, the board must be kept inside the
casting.} If the signal is missing at Jl, then troubleshoot Q5 and
surrounding circuitry. If the signal is present, then proceed to
the Oscillator Adjustment Procedure section below.
The typical bias voltage levels for Q5 are as follows:
emitter,
-12.8 V; base, -11.9 V; collector, 0.0
v.
TP3 should be
approximately -14.8
v.
OSCILLATOR ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
As stated in the previous section, a de voltage of -8.0 V applied
to TUNE should tune the frequency to 100 MHz +100 Hz. To test the
sensitivity to TUNE, change the voltage to -25.0 V; this should
cause the frequency to increase
>
1.0 kHz. Apply 0.0 V to TUNE;
this should cause the frequency to decrease
>
1.0 kHz. If TUNE is
not working correctly, then troubleshoot Q5 and surrounding
circuitry. If TUNE is working correctly and the frequency at -8.0
V is correct, then troubleshoot the A29 Reference Phase Detector.
If the frequency with TUNE at -8.0
v
is not 100 MHz +100 Hz, then
proceed in this section.
The value of the inductor, L4, is selected to center the VCXO
tuning range about 100 MHz. This assures that the output power is
maximum at 100 MHz and the tuning curve is symmetrical about its
maximum point. To test this, disconnect cable A30Jl and connect a
de voltage of -8.0 V to TUNE, TPl. Measure the 100 MHz OUT signal
with either a signal analyzer or a power meter and frequency
counter. Adjust A30C4 so that the signal level is maximum. Record
the frequency, A {measured to at least a 10 Hz resolution). Slowly
tune to a higher frequency until the power drops 1 dB; record this
frequency, B. Tune to a lower frequency until the power drops by 1
dB; record this frequency,
c.
The VCXO centering is correct if
