Agilent Technologies 856290216 service manual Check the 100 MHz lock loop integrator steps

22.To remove the divided-down 100 MHz signal from the phase/frequency detector, short R595. Refer to function block X of Al5 RF schematic.

Check the 100 MHz lock loop integrator (steps 23-27)

23.Remove 10 MHz reference input to the phase/frequency detector by pressing (ZKYiKCTRL), EEAE PAEEL, and 10 MHZ EXT. No signal should be connected to the rear-panel 10 MHz REF IN/OUT connector.

Note	The	outputs of phase/frequency detector are low-pass	filtered to reduce the
	10 MHz component of the signal. The filtered signals are then integrated by
	U506	and the result is fed to the tune line of the 100	MHz VCXO.

24.Check that the voltage on A15J502 pin 3 is less than 0 Vdc. Refer to function block P of Al5 RF schematic.

25.Press @KYiK], REAR PANEL, and 10 MEz INT and remove the divided-down 100 MHz input to the phase/frequency detector by shorting R572.

26.Check that the voltage on A15J502 pin 3 is greater than 13 Vdc.

27.If the loop is locked, the voltage on A15J502 pin 3 should be between 0 and +6 Vdc.

28.If the front-panel CAL OUTPUT amplitude is out of specification and cannot be brought within specification by adjusting A15R561, CAL AMPTD, check the calibrator AGC amplifier with the following steps. Refer to function block W of Al5 RF schematic.

Note	The 300 MHz CAL OUTPUT signal comes from the tripled 100 MHz which is
	passed through a leveling loop. The 300 MHz signal passes through a low-pass
	filter for reducing higher harmonics. These harmonics can fool the detector.
	The 300 MHz signal passes through a variable attenuator controlled by PIN
	diode CR503 which is controlled by the feedback loop. Diode CR504 is the
	detector diode (the same type as CR505). Diode CR504 provides temperature
	compensation between the reference voltage and the detected RF voltage.

a. Measure the level of 300 MHz at Al5 TP505 with an active probe/spectrum analyzer combination. If the signal is less than +2 dBm, repeat the first 27 steps of this procedure.

b. If the signal at this point is correct, place a short across the PIN diode CR503.

c. If the signal level at the CAL OUTPUT is still less than -10 dBm with CR503 shorted out, troubleshoot the RF forward path through amplifier Q505. (The signal amplitude decreases.)

d. If the CAL OUTPUT signal level is greater than -10 dBm, troubleshoot the PIN diode attenuator, the detector, or the feedback path.

29.Measure the detector voltage at A15J502 pin 14. The voltage should measure approximately to.3 Vdc when the CAL OUTPUT signal is at -10 dBm. This voltage should change with adjustment of A15R561, CAL AMPTD.

30.Check that the voltage at U507A Pin 3 is t1.7 Vdc. If this voltage is not correct, there may be a problem with the +lO V reference.
