A15 Front End Control Assembly Troubleshooting
19.Measure the Bias voltage Test Points listed in Table 8-12 (Bias + and
Bias - values will only be correct when tuned above 13.6 GHz).
20.If any of the Bias voltages are incorrect the most likely cause of the
problem is the A15 Front End Control assembly.
21.If no trouble has been found with the A13 RF Front End assembly controls
coming from the A15 Front End Control assembly, yet there is still a
problem with the A13 RF Front End assembly, refer to Chapter 6, “RF
Downconverter Section.” for further troubleshooting information on the
A13 RF Front End assembly itself.
