Fault-Finding Tips
General
General
The Option 20 front end is relatively easy to fault find because it is a combination of
defined RF components.
Instead of using the noise source it is possible to use a signal generator to inject a signal
and then trace the signal levels through the RF paths to the 300 MHz second IF using a
spectrum analyzer. It is much easier to do it this way because the signals can be seen on
the spectrum analyzer display.

The specifications on this part are:
The best way to measure this part is to use a network analyzer. An alternate way is to use
a spectrum analyzer, e.g. 8593E with a tracking generator or a separate sweeper.
Verify over the frequency ranges above that the insertion losses are correct.
