switch off the automatic phase-locked loop. Normally, when the phase-locked
loop detects lock problems, it automatically aborts the sweep and attempts to
recalibrate the pretune cycle. Switching off PLL AUTO defeats this routine.

when lock is lost.
Refer to “Source theory” in Chapter 12, “Theory of Operation”, for additional
information regarding band related problems. Then use the procedures in this
chapter to check source functions at specific frequencies.
Broadband Power Problems
This section assumes that a power problem exists across the full frequency
range, but that no error message is displayed on the analyzer. The problem may
affect port 1, port 2, or both. Assemblies in question include:
n
A3 source
n
A21,
A22
directional couplers
n
A24
solid-state transfer switch
w
any cables from the A3 source to the outputs of port 1 or port 2
