Source Spur Avoidance Tracking Adjustment
Required Equipment and Tools
Analyzer warm-up time: 30 minutes.
This adjustment optimizes tracking between the YO (YIG oscillator) and the cavity
oscillator when they are frequency offset to avoid spurs. Optimizing YO-cavity oscillator
tracking reduces potential phase-locked loop problems.
1. Mate the adapter to the BNC cable and connect the BNC connector end to AUX INPUT
on the analyzer’s rear panel. Connect the BNC center conductor alligator-clip to A11
TP10 (labeled φ ERR); the shield clip to A11 TP1 (GND) as shown in Figure 3-24.
