A9 YIG Driver Output Voltages
If any of the following voltages are out of specification, replace the A9 YIG Driver:
600 Post Regulator
• Replace the A9 YIG Driver.
601 DACs
• Replace the A9 YIG Driver.
602 PLL Interface
1. Remove the cable that goes from the A5 Sampler to J4 on the A9 YIG Driver.
2. Loop self–test 602, and use an oscilloscope to measure the voltage on J4. The voltage should pulse to +10 Vdc.
• If the voltage is +10 Vdc, replace the A9 YIG Driver.
• If the voltage on J4 is bad, replace the A5 Sampler.
603 FM Driver
1. Remove the cable that goes from the A6 Frac–N to J3 on the A9 YIG Driver.
2. Loop self–test 603, and use an oscilloscope to measure the voltage on J3. The voltage should be approximately
–1.3 Vdc.
• If the voltage is approximately –1.3 Vdc, replace the A9 YIG Driver.
3. If the voltage is bad at J3, check it entering the A6 Frac–N at P31–11.
The voltage on J3 originates on the A11 Pulse/Analog Modulation Generator and passes through the A6 Frac–N.
• If the voltage is good entering the A6 Frac–N, troubleshoot the A6 Frac–N.
• If the voltage is bad at P31, troubleshoot the A11 Pulse/Analog Modulation Generator.
604 Sweep DACs
• Replace the A9 YIG Driver.
605 Sweep Lock
1. Using an oscilloscope with high input impedance, measure the center pin of J9 on the A9 YIG Driver.
A positive and negative going signal should be present.
• If the signal is present at J9, replace the A9 YIG Driver.
