5-23. RF GAIN ADJUSTMENT (Cont'd)

NOTE

To make special extender board, solder 51.1 ohm resistor from pin 18 to pin 22 of standard 24 pin extender board, HP Part No. 5060-0258. Leave resistor leads long for easy connection of clip leads.

2.Connect equipment as shown in Figure 5-9. Resistor on extender board should be toward rear of HP 8559A.

3. Set signal generator frequency to 21.4 MHz. Set output level for approximately - 5 dBm.

NOTE

To remove Third Converter Assembly A10, it will be necessary to disconnect A1OW1 from A5J2 and temporarily remove Marker Assembly A8 and Sweep GeneratorlRes BW Assembly A9.

4.Connect output of signal generator across 51.1 ohm resistor on special board using BNC to clip-lead adapter. The red lead (center conductor) should be connected to pin 18 of extender board.

5.Set signal generator frequency for peak amplitude on CRT display. Connect output of signal generator to power meter through a power sensor and set output level to - 3 dBm. Reconnect signal generator output to clip-lead adapter.

6 . Adjust A12R5 GAIN adjustment for signal one division from top graticule line. DVM should indicate +700 mV +30 mV. Remove special extender board and replace Third Converter Assembly A10.

NOTE

If step gain adjustments will be performed next, do not reconnect A1OW1 to A5J2.
