Preselector Tune Output
The J302 connector is a test point used to verify the internal A12, YIG Tuned
Filter drive voltage variations with center frequency. The YTF is used in the
high band path (3.6 GHz to 26.5 GHz). Connect A15J302, Presel Tune to a
voltmeter. Use the MMCX (m) to SMB (f) to connect to J302 on the A15 board
and appropriate adaptors to connect to the voltmeter. Refer to Figure 6-1 for
J302 location. You may also need a Banana plug to BNC (f) adapter, part
number E9637A for the voltmeter. The preselector tune output voltage can be
measured to verify this portion of the A15 is functioning.
Press System, Alignments, Auto Align, Off on the analyzer once it has fully
booted to the spectrum analyzer application. Press Span, Zero Span on the
analyzer. The preselector tune output voltage in high band should change
when the center frequency of the analyzer is changed.
Preselector tune output measurements are not valid for Option 503, 3 GHz
frequency range.
