Unlocked Reference PLL (100 MHz VCXO)
19.If the loop is unlocked, but signals are present on both inputs of the
phase/frequency detector, the output pulses will be superimposed on
each other.
20.If the loop is unlocked, and there is no signal at one of the
phase/frequency detector inputs, one phase detector output will be at
TTL low and the other will be at TTL high. For example, if there is
no input signal at U504 pin 3, U504 pin 5 will be TTL low and U503
pin 9 will be TTL high. If there is no input signal at U503 pin 11,
U503 pin 9 will be TTL low and U504 pin 5 will be TTL high.
21.To remove the 10 MHz reference input to the phase/frequency
detector, press
AUX CTRL, REAR PANEL, and 10 MHz EXT with no
signal applied to the rear panel 10 MHz REF IN/OUT connector.
22.To remove the divided-down 100 MHz signal from the
phase/frequency detector, short R595. Refer to function block X of
A15 RF schematic (sheet 2 of 4).
Check the 100
MHz lock loop
integrator (steps
23-27)
23.Remove 10 MHz reference input to the phase/frequency detector by
pressing
AUX CTRL, REAR PANEL, and 10 MHz EXT. No signal should
be connected to the rear panel 10 MHz REF IN/OUT connector.
NOTE The outputs of phase/frequency detector are low-pass filtered to reduce
the 10 MHz component of the signal. The filtered signals are then
integrated by U506 and the result is fed to the tune line of the 100 MHz
VCXO.
24.Check that the voltage on A15J502 pin 3 is less than 0 Vdc. Refer to
function block P of A15 RF schematic (sheet 2 of 4).
25.Press
AUX CTRL, REAR PANEL, and 10 MHz INT and remove the
divided-down 100 MHz input to the phase/frequency detector by
shorting R572.
26.Check that the voltage on A15J502 pin 3 is greater than 13 Vdc.
27.If the loop is locked, the voltage on A15J502 pin 3 should be between
0 and +6 Vdc.
28.If the front-panel CAL OUTPUT amplitude is out of specification
and cannot be brought within specification by adjusting A15R561,
CAL AMPTD, check the calibrator AGC amplifier with the following
steps. Refer to function block W of A15 RF schematic (sheet 1 of 4).
