Al3 Second Converter

Caution
The Al3 assembly is extremely sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). For
further information regarding electrostatic cautions, refer to “Electrostatic
Discharge” in Chapter 1, “General Information.”
1. Connect the HP 85623 CAL OUTPUT to the INPUT 50R connector.
2. Set the HP 85623 to the following settings:

3. Disconnect W35 (coax 92) from A13J2.
4. Connect a test cable from A13J2 to the input of another spectrum analyzer.
5. Tune the other spectrum analyzer to 310.7 MHz. The signal displayed on the other
spectrum analyzer should be approximately -38
dBm.
6. Connect the positive lead of a DVM to A14J19 pin 15.
7. Set the HP 85623
CENTER
FREQ
to 3 GHz.
8. The DVM should measure between -2.0 Vdc and -3.5 V dc. If the voltage measures
outside this limit, perform the following steps:
