Troubleshooting Assembly–Level Problems

702 Tuning Voltage
1. Using an oscilloscope, check 10 MHz Synthesis line on P33–15. The signal period should be 100 ns with an
amplitude of approximately 3V
pp
.
• If the signal is good, replace the A6 Frac–N.
2. If the signal is bad, turn the signal generator power off, remove the A6 Frac–N, and measure the signal at P33–15
again.
• If the signal is good, replace the A6 Frac–N.
3. If the signal is still bad, measure P41–5 on the A7 Reference.
• If the signal is good at P41–5, replace the A31 Motherboard.
• If the signal is bad at P41–5, replace the A7 Reference.
703 Output Voltage
1. Using an oscilloscope, check 10 MHz Synthesis line on P33–15. The signal period should be 100 ns with an
amplitude of approximately 3V
pp
.
• If the signal is good, replace the A6 Frac–N.
2. If the signal is bad, turn the signal generator power off, remove the A6 Frac–N, and measure P33–15 again.
• If the signal is good, replace the A6 Frac–N.
3. If the signal is still bad, measure P41–5 on the A7 Reference.
• If the signal is good at P41–5, replace the A31 Motherboard.
• If the signal is bad at P41–5, replace the A7 Reference.
704 Filter Test
1. Refer to Table 1- 15, and check J1 on the A6 Frac–N:
a. Turn the signal generator on and remove the A6 Frac–N.
b. Set the signal generator to the first center frequency.
c. Use an extender board cable to connect a spectrum analyzer to J1.
d. Tune the spectrum analyzer to the first J1 frequency, and check for the correct power.
e. Repeat Step d for the remaining frequencies.
•If all the signals at J1 are good, continue with Step 3.
2. If any signal measured in Step 1 is bad, check the signal out of the A6 Frac–N output port on the
A29 20 GHz Doubler.
• If the signal out the A29 20 GHz Doubler is good, replace the cable.
• If the signal out the A29 20 GHz Doubler is bad, replace the A29 20 GHz Doubler.
