Figure 1-9: Up link Video Exciter, Up converter, and High Power Amplifier (HPA) showing how to hook up a 1705A Spectrum Monitor to look at the Video Exciter output

In addition to the other measurements that can be made a quick check of HPA, antenna, and transponder (as a system) can be made by comparing the exciter output (using the 70 MHz input) to the incoming signal from the down link (using the L-Band Input) by simply switching between inputs. See Figure 1-10.

Miscellaneous Uses for the 1705A

The 1705A Spectrum Monitor 70 MHz band covers a frequency range from 45 to 100 MHz, at center screen. The low VHF television channels and major portion of the FM broadcast band are within the frequency range of the 1705A. If a spectrum monitoring application within this band of frequencies exists the 1705A can easily be used.
