A8

Input

Attenuator

The

A8

input

attenuator

is

a

10

dB

step

attenuator

(0

dB

to

60

dB)

with

a

maximum

input

level

of

+30

dBm.

It

is

used

only

in

the

spectrum

analyzer

mode

.

The

RF

input

signal

from

the

S

input

is

routed

to

the

A4A2

Receiver

RF

through

A8.

A8

is

used

to

control

the

input

signal

level

to

the

st

mixer

in

A4A2.

The

A8

setting

can

be

controlled

from

the

front

panel

by

changing

the

attenuation

setting

directly

or

by

changing

the

reference

level

in

the

auto

attenuation

mode

.

A8

consists

of

three

segments

(10

dB

,

20

dB

,

and

30

dB).

Attenuation

from

0

dB

to

60

dB

is

obtained

by

combining

one

(or

more)

of

the

three

segments

.

Each

segment

is

activated

by

a

TTL

signal

from

the

A2

post-regulator

.

The

TTL

signals

are

controlled

by

the

A1

CPU

.

A9

Input

Multiplexer

The

A9

multiplexer

multiplexes

the

RF

signals

from

inputs

R,

A,

and

B

to

the

A4A2

receiver

RF

.

A9

is

primarily

used

in

the

network

analyzer

mode

.

However

,

it

can

be

used

in

the

spectrum

analyzer

mode

when

the

spectrum

monitoring

function

of

the

R,

A,

or

B

input

is

used.

A9

consists

of

three

xed

attenuators

and

a

multiplexer

.

See

Figure

11-7.

The

R

input

signal

is

attenuated

by

30

dB

and

then

routed

to

A4A2

through

the

multiplexer

.

The

A

and

B

input

signals

are

attenuated

by

6

dB

and

then

routed

to

A4A2

through

the

multiplexer

.

A9

has

very

low

signal

leakage

between

any

two

of

the

three

inputs

.

The

input

crosstalk

performance

of

the

analyzer

is

mainly

determined

by

A9.

In

addition,

the

input

impedance

performance

for

the

R,

A,

and

B

inputs

is

determined

by

A9

because

each

input

connector

is

in

A9.

A4A2

Receiver

RF

The

A4A2

receiver

RF

converts

the

RF

input

signal

from

A8

or

A9

to

the

21.42

MHz

2nd

IF

.

The

2nd

IF

is

routed

to

the

A6

receiver

IF

.

The

A4A2

receiver

RF

consists

of

the

following

circuits

(See

Figure

11-7 ):

NA/SA

Switch

1st

Converter

2nd

Converter

A

uto

Zero

Switch

The

RF

signals

from

A8

or

A9

go

to

the

NA/SA

switch.

In

the

switch,

one

of

the

signals

is

routed

to

the

1st

converter

and

then

to

the

second

converter

.

In

the

rst

converter

,

the

RF

signal

(2

Hz

to

1.8

GHz

in

the

spectrum

analyzer

mode

and

100

kHz

to

1.8

GHz

in

the

network

analyzer

mode)

is

mixed

with

the

1st

local

oscillator

signal

(2.058580002

GHz

to

3.85858

GHz

in

the

spectrum

analyzer

mode

and

2.05868

GHz

to

3.85858

GHz

in

the

network

analyzer

mode)

from

A4A1

and

then

converted

to

the

2.05858

GHz

1st

IF

through

the

band

pass

and

low

pass

lters

.

In

the

second

converter

,

the

1st

IF

is

mixed

with

the

2.08

GHz

second

local

oscillator

signal

from

A3A2.

This

converts

it

to

the

21.42

MHz

second

IF

through

the

low

pass

lters

.

The

21.42

MHz

second

IF

is

routed

to

A6

through

the

auto-zero

switch.

The

auto-zero

switch

is

used

for

an

auto-zero

detection.

The

analyzer

performs

auto-zero

detection

automatically

to

measure

the

oset

error

on

the

signal

path

in

the

A6

receiver

IF

.

It

then

compensates

the

measured

value

with

the

detected

oset

error

.

In

auto-zero

detection,

the

input

signal

to

the

A6

receiver

IF

is

grounded

in

the

auto-zero

switch.
