Broadband Phase Lock Problems
Phase lock problems can be caused by incorrect pretune correction constants.
1. To fix this potential problem, perform “Source Pretune Correction Constants (Test 43)”
on page 3-6 from Chapter 3 , “Adjustments and Correction Constants.”
2. Then press to see if the phase lock problem
persists.
3. If the phase lock problem persists, perform the “Reference Assembly VCO Tune
Adjustment” on page 3-39. If this fixes the problem, perform the following adjustments
from Chapter 3 .
a. “Output Power Adjustments” on page 3-17
b. “Power Linearity Adjustment” on page 3-24
c. “Raw Offset Correction Constants” on page 3-48
d. “Sampler Calibration Correction Constants (Test 51)” on page 3-58
If the phase lock problem persists, continue with step 4.
4. The phase lock problem could be caused by a fault in one of these source assemblies:
Continue to “Swap IF Output Cables to Check R Sampler Assembly (A64)” on page 7-9.
