13.4 RF Signal Path
Introduction
The RF signal path extends from the output of the frequency synthesizer to
the LPF. This section of circuitry will require investigation either following
certain checks in
“Transmitter RF Power” or if the biasing checks of
“Biasing of PA Driver and PAs” reveal no fault. The procedure is divided
into nine tasks grouped as follows:
■
Task 25 to Task 28 : initial RF signal path
■
Task 29 and Task 30 : directional coupler
■
Task 31 and Task 32 : PIN switch
■
Task 33 : LPF
The initial signal path includes the exciter and PA driver. The directional
coupler, PIN switch, and LPF make up the final signal path.
The measurement points for diagnosing faults in the signal path are
summarized in
Figure 13.14 .
