Troubleshooting a High Band Problem
Refer to the RF Highband Path #1 Block Diagram in Chapter 13and follow the
instructions in the settings box. To enable the internal 4.8 GHz, −28 dBm
calibrator signal press Input/Output, RF Calibrator, 4.8 GHz.
A13 Front End Input Verification
Disconnect W15 from A13A1J9 See Figure 4-7 for location of connector.
Loosen the other end of W15 if possible to avoid damaging the cable. Attach a
right angle sma adapter to W15 and measure the input to the A13 Front End
with a spectrum analyzer.
Figure 4-7 A13A1J9 Location
Expected signal is 4.8 GHz at −51 dBm ± 4 dB. The tolerance is large because
the A12 YTF (microwave preselector) loss varies between devices, and the YTF
may not be perfectly aligned, or the frequency response adjustment may be
required.
If the signal level is incorrect, and Option MPB (Microwave Preselector Bypass)
is installed, press Amplitude, More, uWPath Control, uW Preselector Bypass.
If the signal level is now −52 dBm, suspect the A12 YTF is out of adjustment or
faulty.
