Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Assembly–Level Problems
2201 Prelevel Loop Test
1. With the signal generator powered on, carefully remove the A8 Output.
2. Set the signal generator to 3 GHz CW.
3. Connect a spectrum analyzer to the A6 Frac–N RF output at J4 of the A8
Output. The signal at J4 should be at 3 GHz and ≥0 dBm.
— If the signal is not present or at the correct level, replace the
Frac–N.
— If the signal is present, replace the A8 Output.
2202 Switching Filter Test
— Replace the A8 Output.
2203 ALC Mod System Test
— Replace the A8 Output.
2204 Pulse Mod System Test
— Replace the A8 Output.
2205 RF Path Test
— Replace the A8 Output.
2206 Het Band Test
— Replace the A8 Output.
If the A8 Output board has been replaced recently and self test 2201 is
failing, run the ALC Mod Cal adjustment before replacing the A8 Output
board. See Chapter 4, “Post–Repair Procedures.”
Do not re–install the A8 Output with the signal generator powered on. This can
cause serious damage to the signal generator.
