Frequency Synthesizer Fault Finding
Introduction
This section covers the diagnosis of faults in the frequency synthesizer.
The sections are divided into the following:
■
Initial checks
■
Fault diagnosis of RF PLL circuitry
■
Fault diagnosis of FCL circuitry.
The initial checks will indicate whether it is the RF PLL or the FCL that is
suspect. Note that the synthesizer is a closed-loop control system. A fault in
one area can cause symptoms to appear elsewhere. Locating the fault can
therefore be difficult.
Measurement
Techniques
The radio must be in CCTM for all the fault-diagnosis procedures of this
section. The CCTM commands required are listed in
. Full details
of the commands are given in
“Computer-Controlled Test Mode
. Use an oscilloscope with a x10 probe for all voltage
measurements required. The signals should appear stable and clean.
Consider any noise or unidentified oscillations as evidence of a fault
requiring investigation. Use a frequency counter for all measurements of
high frequencies. The RF power output from the frequency synthesizer will
not exceed 10mW. If a probe is used for frequency measurements, use the
x1 setting.
