6. If the signal is present, leave the spectrum analyzer connected to A9J106 and continue with “Checking
the A9 Fractional-N Synthesizer Output, Bands 4 through 30” on page 4-35.
Checking the A9 Fractional-N Synthesizer Output, Bands 4 through 30
Perform this procedure if you observe a problem in bands 4 through 30 in all receivers.
1. Set the network analyzer to a CW frequency of 2 GHz.
• The spectrum analyzer should measure a signal at 2 GHz.
2. If the signal is not present, replace the A9 fractional-N synthesizer board. Refer to “Removing and
Replacing the A5 through A10 Boards and the Plenum Bracket” on page 7-16.
3. If the signal is present, reconnect cable W4, and then continue with “Checking the A8 Multiplier Output,
All Bands” on page 4-35.
Checking the A8 Multiplier Output, All Bands
1. Refer to the block diagram at the end of this chapter and to “Top Cables, All Options” on page 6-14.
Locate the flexible cable W6, at the A8 multiplier board.
2. Disconnect W6 from the A8 board.
3. Connect the spectrum analyzer to the open connector.
4. Set the network analyzer for a 2 GHz CW frequency and observe the spectrum analyzer measurement.
• The spectrum analyzer should measure a signal at 2 GHz.
5. If the signal is not present and the signals are present from “Checking the A9 Fractional-N Synthesizer
Output, Bands 4 through 30,” replace the A8 multiplier board. Refer to “Removing and Replacing the A5
through A10 Boards and the Plenum Bracket” on page 7-16.
6. If the signal is present, reconnect cable W6, and then continue with “Checking the Signal Separation
Group” on page 4-36.
