ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTMENTS

5-28. FREQUENCY RESPONSEADJUSTMENTS(Cont'd)

11.Adjust Tuning Voltage Circuit GAIN control to expand the phase-locked display over 8 1/2 divisions on CRT (.01- 2.4 GHz). Refer to Figure 5-18b. It may be necessary to readjust OFFSET slightly to achieve phase-lock over entire range.

12.Optimum phase-lock is indicated by a smooth trace over full swept frequency range on CRT and minimum needle movement on synchronizer phase error meter.

13.Place CRT trace in top division of display using analyzer REF LEVEL FINE control.

14.Change spectrum analyzer Amplitude Scale to 1 dB/DIV and adjust REF LEVEL FINE control to place trace in upper half of display.

15.Remove CAUTION label (PC Board) from cover of A12 Step Gain by removing two pozi-drivescrews.

16.Adjust A12R72 V1 (bias) for maximum amplitude of trace on CRT

17.Adjust A12R47 1B(tilt) for best overall flatness of trace on CRT.

NOTE

Remember, you are viewing only a portion (.01-2.4 GHz) of Band 1. The remainder of Band 1 may have an effect on this adjustment.

18.Note highest and lowest points on CRT trace for reference. Also note level of trace at 2.1 GHz position on CRT (8th vertical graticule line).

2.1 GHz

19.Place sweep oscillator LINE switch OFE

20.Disconnect cables from HP 86222A/B (.01- 2.4 GHz plug-in) and remove plug-in from sweep oscillator mainframe.

21.Install HP 86290B (2 - 18.6 GHz plug-in) or HP 86290B-H08 (2 -22 GHz plug-in), if available, in sweep oscillator mainframe and reconnect cables as shown in Figure 5-16 with 20 dB attenuator connected to analyzer RF INPUT.

22.Set RF plug-in controls the same as for the pIug-in removed (refer to step 3) and select Band 4 (2- 18.6 or 2-22 GHz) on sweep oscillator mainframe.

23.Place RF plug-in RF OFF/ON switch ON. Change analyzer AmplitudeScale to 10 dB/DIY

24.Adjust sweep oscillator for swept output from 2 to 3 GHz.

25.Adjust spectrum analyzer TUNING controls for FREQUENCY GHz indication of 2.500 and change FREQ SPAN/DIV to 100MHz. Make sure RES BW remains at 3 MHz.
