Narrow Band Step Cal Ad justment Alignment 
Algorithm
Recalled adjustment from calibration file. (Option B40)
Alignment signal 
originates on A3 D-IF, 
then goes through A16 
Reference, through A13 
Front End, through A2 
Analog IF, and back to 
A3 Digital IF. 
 
DIF 40 Step Cal Adjustment Alignment 
Algorithm
Recalled adjustment from calibration file. (Option B40)
Since this is wide band 
alignment done for 
40 MHz BW signal 
path, A2 Analog IF is 
not included in the 
signal path.

A25 Wide band A-IF  
E Cal Path System Gain Algorithm
Measures the amplitude error of the low band signal 
path by injecting the 50 MHz E-Cal signal into the A13 
Front End assembly. The E-Cal signal originates on the 
A16 Reference assembly.
Signal path from A13 
Front End to A3 Digital 
IF
A16 Reference may not be 
providing 50 MHz E-Cal 
Low Band Nominal Path System Gain 
Algorithm
Aligns low band (3 Hz to 3.6 GHz path) with preamp and 
electronic attenuator OFF. Dependent on successful 
E-Cal alignment. 
Input attenuators set to 10 dB and DC coupled. 
A13 Front End 50 MHz calibrator on A16 
Reference.
A9 and A10 Input attenuators 
Low Band Preamp Path System Gain Algorithm
Aligns low band (3 Hz to 3.6 GHz path) with preamp ON. 
Input attenuator set to 20 dB.
