Troubleshooting Procedures
: Power Amplifier Procedures
4-25
If the command board and synthesizer are functioning properly, the PA must be defective. Details on
troubleshooting each circuit of the PA follow.
4.5.1.1.2 PA Functional Testing
NOTE:
When setting or measuring RF power at VHF follow these guidelines to avoid measurement
errors due to cable losses or non-50-ohm connector VSWR:
- All coaxial cables should be low loss and as short as possible.
- Attenuators and 50-ohm loads should have at least 25 dB return loss.
- Mini UHF to 'N' adapter, P/N 58803671321, should be used at the antenna connector. All
other connectors should be 'N' type. No other adapters, barrel connectors, etc. should be
used.
Maximum input level to the PA is 20 mW. Too much input power could result in damage to
the LLA stage.
Methods of analyzing individual stages of the power amplifiers are detailed below. Most of the stages
are Class-C and must be analyzed under relatively high RF power levels. The following information
should help in isolation and repair of the majority of transmitter failures.
