148 N9030B PXA Signal Analyzer Service Guide
RF Section Troubleshooting (RF/Microwave Analyzers)
RF Section Description
RF Section Description
This section covers only those optional frequency ranges listed below for the
N9030B Signal Analyzer.
— Option 503, 3.6 GHz Frequency Range
— Option 508, 8.4 GHz Frequency Range
— Option 513, 13.6 GHz Frequency Range
— Option 526, 26.5 GHz Frequency Range
The RF input signal can be routed through three different front end signal
paths. These various paths are switched in and out based on where the signal
analyzer center frequency is tuned.
1. Low band RF path is used when the input frequency is ≤ 3600 MHz
2. High band RF path #1 is used when the input frequency is > 3.6 GHz to
13.6 GHz
3. High band RF path #2 is used when the input frequency is > 13.6 GHz to
26.5 GHz
The RF section is designed to convert RF input signals to an intermediate
frequency that is present at the RF output of the A13 Front End assembly. This
intermediate frequency (IF) depends on installed options and the IF path
selected. This chapter will assume the default operation in Spectrum Analyzer
mode. Therefore the IF frequency will be 322.5 MHz.
