RF Section
E4440A, E4443A, E4445A
All of the individual components of the RF section can be removed with
the RF section in place in the instrument. If necessary for some service
situations, the RF section can be removed as a unit to make it easier to
replace an individual device.
In either case, you must first remove the instrument outer case and top
brace to gain access to the RF section. Refer to the “Instrument Outer
Case” and the “Top Brace” removal procedures.
CAUTION Use ESD precautions when performing this replacement procedure.
