A25 Wideband Analog IF Assembly Theory of Operation - Option B1X
and B85
The A25 Wideband Analog IF assembly primary role is to properly filter and
apply attenuation or gain to optimize the level going to the ADC and provide
sufficient pre-filtering to reject images that would otherwise interfere with the
signal of interest. Precision alignments are used to calibrate the filters,
attenuators and gain of this assembly. It is not uncommon that the reported
failure will come from failures reported when an alignment fails for this
assembly. The alignment history file is a good indicator of a failure for this
assembly. This file is a text file that can be edited with Notepad. The file is
located in the following location:
E:\AlignDataStore\AlignmentHistory.txt
This file will list all alignments that have passed or failed. Alignments reporting
a failure of the WBAIF assembly can in many cases be attributed to failure of
this assembly. If however these errors follow errors in the RF section of the
instrument, it is possible that additional WBAIF error will appear due to
missing RF Calibration signals and not related to the A25 Wideband IF
assembly.
Manually troubleshoot the assembly is basically verifying the 300 MHz IF signal
is present and at the proper level. In addition you will want to verify input and
output levels of the various calibration and reference signals.
Additionally, the A25 Analog IF has a built in RF Burst Trigger.
