K5 band only:
For the K band, check the circuitry as follows when the sensitivity loss is
moderate. For all other bands, the steps begin on page 256.
1. Remove the
FE TOP can and, if not already done, the IF TOP can.
2. Check the soldering of all the components of the front-end circuitry
from C400 to IC409 (see Figure 10.1 and Figure 10.4).
3. Check the 3V supply voltage at L420 and L421; use the measurement
points shown in Figure 10.1.
4. Also check the LNA enable conditions. First measure V
c
on pin 1 of
the collector of IC404 or IC405 and ground (see Figure 10.1).
IC404 is enabled for channels between 850 to 970MHz, and IC405
is enabled for channels between 762 and 776MHz.
5. If the checks in Step 2 to Step 4 reveal no fault, go to Step 6.
If there is a fault, repair it and go to Step 7.
