A26 Wideband Digital IF Troubleshooting - Option B2X and B5X
Verify the Wideband Signal Path
Normally failure of this assembly will occur during extensive alignments. Verify
if there are alignment error related to the WBDIF located in the
E:\AlignDataStore\AlignmentHistrory.txt files.
If errors are found related to WBDIF replace the A26 Wideband Digital IF
assembly. To troubleshoot this module set the instrument up as below:
1. Turn on the analyzer and wait for the instrument to complete the boot up
process.
2. Press System, Alignments, Auto Align, Off.
3. Press Mode, IQ Analyzer
4. Press Meas, Complex Spectrum
5. Press Input/Output, RF Calibrator, 50 MHz
6. Press Span, 10 MHz
7. Press Mode Setup, IF Path, 255 MHz or 510 MHz
8. Verify the 50 MHz signal is at −25 dBm on the analyzer display by pressing
Peak Search on the analyzer. The marker readout should be 50 MHz at
−25 dBm ±3 dB.
9. If this signal is not present, determine if the issue is only present with the
wideband path. Press Mode Setup, IF Path, 40 MHz. If the signal is now
present, there is a likely failure of the A26/A27 Wideband Digital IF or the
A25 Wideband Analog IF
