Troubleshooting the RF Path
Troubleshooting RF Path procedure:
• preset the signal generator
• set a frequency
• open ALC loop (ALC Off)
• set signal generator to maximum power
• check power levels in the RF path (power levels are included on the RF block diagram)
ALC and RF problems
1. Run a full self-test and troubleshoot any reported failures before proceeding.
2. From Table1-36 determine the frequencies where the problem occurs.
3. Perform the following steps:
•press Preset
