Troubleshooting to a Functional Section 1. Refer to Table 7-l for the location of troubleshooting information. 2. If the HP 85629B test and adjustment module (TAM) is available, refer to “The TAM (Test and Adjustment Module)” in this chapter. 3. If error messages are displayed, refer to “Error Messages” in this chapter.

TAM (Test and Adjustment Module) When attached to the spectrum analyzer rear panel, the HP 85629B test and adjustment module (TAM), in conjunction with the HP 8562E/TAM Interface Software, provides diagnostic functions for supporting the HP 85623 spectrum analyzer.
n Use the MS1 (Mass Storage Is) command to make the flexible disk drive the mass storage device. For example, you would type MS1 I’ : ,7OO,l” if the flexible disk was located at 700,l. w Type LOAD "TAMJFSW", 1 and press [ml or (m). The program will run immediately after it is loaded.
n After the power-on self-realignments are complete, press PASS CONTROL . This removes the computer as being the active controller on HP-IB, permitting the TAM to be the active controller. n The TAM functions are now available and are listed, along with any limitations.
Test Connectors The TAM uses a built-in dc voltmeter and DAC to measure voltages on any one of the “test connectors” (or test jacks) located throughout the spectrum analyzer. Revision Connectors One test connector on each assembly is reserved as a “revision connector.
Automatic Fault Isolation Automatic fault isolation (AFI) is designed to isolate most faults to one or two assemblies. AFI can be run with the spectrum analyzer cover in place and requires only the CAL OUTPUT signal as a stimulus. The entire procedure takes less than 2 minutes to complete if no failures are found.
LO Control Check The LO control check verifies that all phase-lock loops (PLLs) in the synthesizer section lock. Some oscillators are checked to ensure that they will lock outside their normal operating frequency range. The TAM also performs an operational check on several DACs in the synthesizer section.
RF Path Fault Isolation RF path fault isolation checks high-band RF paths. (Automatic fault isolation checks the low-band RF path.) An external microwave source with a frequency range of 5 GHz to 13.2 GHz is required. The source is not controlled over HP-IB.
Error Messages The spectrum analyzer displays error messages in the lower right-hand corner of the display. A number, or error code, is associated with each error message. These error messages alert the user to errors in spectrum analyzer function or use.
3. Use the up and down step keys to scroll through any other error messages which might exist, making note of each error code. Error Message Elimination When an error message is displayed, always perform the following procedure: 1. Press ISAVE) and SAVE STATE.

The coarse adjust and fine adjust DAC are used together to set MAINSENSE to 0 volts with the loop opened. ERR 32.5 is set if the fine adjust DAC cannot bring MAINSENSE to 0 volts.
600 MHz Reference Loop (333) This error requires troubleshooting the Al5 RF board assembly (synthesizer section) or the ADC circuits. 333 600 UNLK The 600 MHz reference oscillator PLL is unlocked. If error codes 302, 303, 304, 327 or 499 are also present, suspect the 10 MHz reference, the A21 OCXO, or the TCXO (Option 103), or the Al5 RF assembly.
YTO Loop Settling Errors (351 to 354) These errors are generated when the YTO loop error voltage will not stabilize at an acceptable value during the YTO loop locking routines. These errors only apply to the hardware in an HP 8560 E-Series spectrum analyzer.

Block Diagram Description The spectrum analyzer is comprised of the six main sections listed below. See Figure 7-4. The following descriptions apply to the simplified block diagram and overall block diagram located at the end of this chapter. Assembly level block diagrams are located in Chapters 8 through 13.
RF Section The RF section includes the following assemblies: A7 SLODA (switched LO distribution amplifier) A8 low band mixer A9 input attenuator A10 YIG-tuned filter/mixer (RYTHM) All YTO (YIG-tuned o.
A9 Input Attenuator The attenuator is a 500 precision, coaxial step attenuator. Attenuation in 10 dB steps from 0 dB to 70 dB is accomplished by switching the signal path through one or more of the three resistive pads. The attenuator automatically sets to 70 dB when the spectrum analyzer turns off, providing ESD protection.
Third Converter (part of A15) The third converter down-converts the 310.7 MHz IF to 10.7 MHz. A PIN-diode switch selects the LO signal used. For normal operation, a 300 MHz LO signal is used.
Synthesizer Section The first LO uses four PLLs to phase-lock to the internal 10 MHz standard in the instrument. See Figure 7-5. The reference PLL supplies reference frequencies for the instrument. The three remaining PLLs tune and phase-lock the LO through its frequency range.
Offset Lock Loop (part of A15) The 285 MHz to 297.2 MHz sampling oscillator is used to sample the YTO. The frequency can be changed by changing the programmable dividers of the offset lock loop. ,- YTO PLL -, ,p FRACTIONAL N PLL------- 1ST LO OUTPUT 3.
IF Section The IF section processes the 10.7 MHz output of the RF section and sends the detected video to the ADC/interface section. The following major assemblies are included in this section: A3 int.
A5 IF Assembly The A5 IF assembly has four crystal filter poles, four LC filter poles, and step gain amplifiers. The crystal filters provide resolution bandwidths of 300 Hz to 10 kHz. The LC filters provide resolution bandwidths of 30 kHz to 2 MHz. All filter stages are in series.
Digitally filtered video bandwidths use a sample detector. When sample detection is selected, the effective video bandwidth is limited to approximately 450 kHz. When a digital filter is selected, a D appears along the left edge of the CRT, indicating that something other than the normal detector mode is being used.
Display ASM Much of the miscellaneous digital control is performed by A2UlOO. UlOO functions as the display ASM (algorithmic state machine) and character ROM. It also converts the 16-bit CPU data bus to an 8-bit data bus for the rest of the spectrum analyzer.

Preselector Peaking Control (Real Time DAC) Refer to function block H of A3 Interface Assembly Schematic Diagram in the HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information. The spectrum analyzer uses a real-time DAC (R/T DACl) to peak the preselector.
Flatness Control (RF Gain DACs) Refer to function block M of A3 Interface Assembly Schematic Diagram in the HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information. RF Gain DACs control the Al5 assembly flatness compensation amplifiers. The RF Gain DACs are arranged so that the output of one DAC is the voltage reference for the other DAC.
A3 Assembly Video Circuits Voltages from A3JlOl to the A3 Variable Gain Amplifier correspond (approximately) to on-screen signal levels. (One volt corresponds to the top of the screen and zero volts corresponds to the bottom of the screen.
Note The on-screen amplitude level will probably not change as expected, since the video circuitry is assumed to be faulty. 15. Monitor ASTP14 while stepping the reference level from -10 dBm to j-30 dBm. If the voltage does not step approximately 100 mV per 10 dB step, refer to “Video MUX” in this chapter.
2. Disconnect W26 (coax 2) from A3JlOl and connect the output of a function generator to A3JlOl. 3. Set the function generator to the following settings: Output . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. c. If the logic signals are incorrect, refer to “Analog Bus Timing” and “Analog Bus Drivers” in this chapter. Check comparators A3U109A/C for proper outputs. The outputs should be high when the noninverting input is greater than the threshold voltage of t1.
5. Refer to Table 8-7 and check for correct latched levels for the selected video bandwidth setting. 6. If the output of latch A3U102 is not correct, trigger an oscilloscope on LLOG-STB (U102 pin 9) and monitor U102 pin 1 and other latch inputs while changing the video bandwidth.
Positive/Negative Peak Detectors Refer to function blocks Y and Z of A3 Interface Assembly Schematic Diagram in the HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information. The following information pertains to the positive peak detector and is applicable to troubleshooting the negative peak detector.
7. If the peak detector appears latched up, check LPOS-RST (U422 pin 4) for a negative TTL level reset pulses. The reset pulses should occur every 130 ps and should be approximately 250 ns wide. 8. If the reset pulses are absent, troubleshoot the Peak Detector Reset circuitry.
Rosenfell Detector Refer to function block S of A3 Interface Assembly Schematic Diagram in the HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information. If both HPOS-HLDNG and HNEG-HLDNG are high during the same bucket, HROSENFELL will also be set high.
1. Set the spectrum analyzer to the following settings: Center frequency . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..300MHz Span . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
10. Press (CAL) and IF 11l)J UN and check for the presence of the CAL OSC TUNE signal by monitoring A3J401 pin 25 with an oscilloscope. If ERR 499 CAL UNLK is displayed and a signal within the range of -10 V to +lO V is present during part of the retrace period, the fault is on the A3 assembly.
A3 Assembly ADC Circuits The ADC consists of a 12-bit DAC, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR), data multiplexers, and data latches. The ADC ASM (algorithmic state machine) controls the ADC.
ADC Start/Stop Control Refer to function block B of A3 Interface Assembly Schematic Diagram in the HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information. The ADC Start/Stop Control determines the start time of all ADC conversions. Multiplexer A3U509 chooses the source of the start signal.
ADC ASM Refer to function block F of A3 Interface Assembly Schematic Diagram in the HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information. 1. Press (PRESET) on the spectrum analyzer and set the controls as follows: Span . . . . . . . . . . . .
comparator U512 does not toggle back and forth during a conversion, suspect either U512 or one of the clipping diodes (CR500/CR501). Note Because currents are being summed at U512 pins 2 and 3, voltage levels at these points are difficult to interpret.
A3 Assembly Control Circuits A digital control problem will cause the following three steps to fail. 1. On the spectrum analyzer, press (i$Kii%Z), ATTEN MAN, 7, 0, and (dB. 2. A click should be heard after pressing dB in step 1, unless ATTEN was previously set to 70 dB.
13. Check that address lines A0 through A7 and data lines DO through D7 are all high. If all address and data lines are high, suspect a fault either in W2 or one of the other four assemblies which connect to W2. 14. If any address or data line is low, check the appropriate input of either U405 (data lines) or U406 (address lines).
11. Monitor A3U401B pin 7 (LIF-STB) with an oscilloscope or logic probe. This is the strobe for the A5 IF assembly. 12. Press (AMPLITUDE] and check that pulses occur when toggling between REF‘ LVL settings of -10 dBm and -20 dBm. 13. Monitor A3U401B pin 9 (LLOGSTB) with an oscilloscope or logic probe.
Al6 Assembly Fast ADC Circuits (Option 007) The fast ADC consists of video signal scaling and limiting amplifiers, an 8-bit flash ADC, peak/pit detection of the digitized video signal, a 32 K-byte RAM, and the fast ADC control circuitry.
11. Measure the dc level of the flash video at TP27. The level should be near 0 Vdc with the signal at the bottom graticule line (no input to the spectrum analyzer). 12. Connect the CAL OUTPUT to the INPUT 500 connector. 13. Measure the dc level of the flash video at TP27.
Peak/Pit Detection Refer to function block J of the Al6 fast ADC assembly schematic diagram in the HP 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level Information. Peak detection or pit (negative peak) detection can be enabled whenever the sample rate is less than 12 MHz (sweep times greater than 50 ps).
Al6 Assembly Fast ADC Control Circuits (Option 007) The fast ADC control circuits consist of the CPU interface and control registers, the reference clock, a clock and sample rate generator, a trigger circuit, a 16-bit post-trigger counter, a 15-bit circular address counter, a video trigger comparator, and the reference and power supply circuits.

Video Offsets: analog (using log amplifier video offset DAC) and digital (applying stored constant to all readings) 1.

Performance Test Failures Failures in IF-Section-related performance tests may be investigated using the following information. IF Gain Uncertainty Performance lest Failure of this performance test indicates a possible problem with the spectrum analyzer IF gain circuits.
Resolution Bandwidths Performance Tests Most resolution bandwidth problems are a result of A5 IF assembly failures. The resolution bandwidths are adjusted in the following sequence using 300 kHz as the reference: 1 MHz, 2 MHz, 100 kHz, 30 kHz, 10 kHz, 3 kHz, 1 kHz, 300 Hz, 100 Hz, 30 Hz, 10 Hz, 3 Hz, and 1 Hz.
3. Set the HP 85623 spectrum analyzer to log mode, with a resolution bandwidth of 300 l&z and single sweep. 4. Using the DMM, check the voltage at U503 pin 6. 5. Verify that this level is about -700 mV. 6. Adjust the source amplitude to place the signal at the reference level.
Total gain can be measured by injecting the specified power into A4J3 and measuring the total gain provided by A4U201C and A4U201E. The following procedure provides a means of troubleshooting the linear amplifiers: 1.
Video Output 1. On the HP 85623 spectrum analyzer, press C-1, C-1, 300 m, (SPAN), 100 (Hz), (m), -10 dBm, [WSWP), a and IF BJ OFF . 2. Connect the CAL OUTPUT to the INPUT 500 connector. 3. Disconnect W54 (coax 2) from A4J4. Connect a short SMB to SMB cable from A4J4 to an SMB tee and connect W54 to the tee.
2. If an FM signal cannot be demodulated, perform the Demodulator Adjustment procedure. If the output of A4C707 cannot be adjusted as described in the Demodulator Adjustment procedure, troubleshoot the FM Demodulator or Audio MUX circuits on A4.

The center frequency of the 300 Hz resolution-bandwidth filters and the 1 Hz to 100 Hz filters should differ no more than 10 Hz. If the center frequency is different by more than this, or if no signal is present in the 1 Hz to 100 Hz resolution-bandwidth settings, troubleshoot the 10.

The gain is then: This gives an offset-independent gain measurement. Video MUX The video MUX switches the video output between linear, log and 4.8 kHz IF (for digital RBWs). The demod video is an unused feature. The easiest way to troubleshoot this circuit is to look for blown FETs.
The assembly contains a reference limiting amplifier. This amplifier provides a known amount of limiting for the automatic IF adjustment routines. (Limiting occurs only during the automatic IF adjustment routines.) The LC34Short switches are open during sweeps.

Cal Oscillator (P/O A4 Assembly) The cal oscillator on the A4 assembly supplies the stimulus signal for automatic IF adjustments. Normally, the oscillator operates only during retrace (for a few milliseconds) to adjust part of the IF. (All IF parameters are to be readjusted about every 5 minutes.
2. If the cal oscillator remains locked (no error code ERR 499 displayed) but does not have the correct output level, troubleshoot the output leveling circuitry (function blocks AA, AB, and AC) or output attenuator (function block AD). Cal Oscillator Unlock at Beginning of IF Adjust 1.

Troubleshooting Test Setup Some synthesizer section problems require placing the YTO PLL in an unlocked condition. This is done by moving jumper A14J23 to the TEST position. This grounds the YTO ERROR signal, disabling the ability of the CPU to detect an unlocked YTO.
Check A3 ADC MUX Function Block (steps 1-4) 1. Connect the positive lead of a DVM to A15J200 pin 13 and the negative lead to A15J200 pin 6.

Unlocked PLL An unlocked PLL can be caused by problems inside or outside the PLL. Troubleshoot this problem by working backward from the oscillator as described in the steps below.
4. Confirm proper power levels for the signals at the input to the “N” dividers (4), the reference inputs (5 and 7), and the loop feedback path (6). Unlocked Reference PLL Operation The 600 MHz reference is generated by tripling, then doubling the output of the 100 MHz phase-locked loop.
Check 10 MHz reference to phase/frequency detector (steps 9-14) 9. On the spectrum analyzer, press (mCTRL), REAR PANEL , and 10 MHz INT . 10. Check the 10 MHz reference frequency-accuracy by connecting a frequency counter to A15J301 and verify that the reference frequency is 10 MHz f40 Hz after a 5 minute warmup period.
22. To remove the divided-down 100 MHz signal from the phase/frequency detector, short R595. Refer to function block X of Al5 RF schematic. Check the 100 MHz lock loop integrator (steps 23-27) 23. Remove 10 MHz reference input to the phase/frequency detector by pressing (ZKYiKCTRL), EEAE PAEEL, and 10 MHZ EXT.
31. Measure voltage at U507B pin 5 while adjusting R561. This is the temperature- compensated adjustable voltage reference to which the detected voltage is compared.
Unlocked Offset Lock Loop (Sampling Oscillator) Operation The offset lock loop drives the A15UlOO sampler. The offset lock loop sampling oscillator tunes to one of sixteen discrete frequencies between 285 MHz and 297.
9. If the signal is not measured near the indicated power, troubleshoot the offset lock loop buffer (function block AM of Al5 RF schematic sheet 3 of 4). Table 11-6. Sampling Oscillator PLL Divide Numbers sampling Center Reference Reference Oscillator Frequency* Divide Frequency Frequency (MHz) Chain (MHz) (MHz) Prescaler Postscaler 285.
13. If the IF signal is not near the indicated power, troubleshoot the loop mixer (function block AI). Check path to phase/frequency detector (steps 14-19) 14. Measure the loop IF signal at the input to the IF amplifier/limiter (function block AK): A15L428 (end nearest U411) 4 MHz (approximately -6 dBm) 15.
Unlocked YTO PLL Operation The All YTO is locked to two other oscillators, the fractional N oscillator and the offset PLL sampling oscillator. For LO spans of 2.01 MHz and above, either the FM or main coil of the YTO is swept directly. For LO spans of 2 MHz and below, the fractional N oscillator is swept.
In fractional N spans (LO Spans 12 MHz) the YTO remains locked to the sweeping fractional N PLL. Thus, the sampler IF must always equal the fractional N oscillator frequency (conditions for lock).
Troubleshooting an Unlocked YTO PLL 1. If the YTO PLL is unlocked, error code 301 should be displayed. Place the spectrum analyzer in ZERO SPAN. Figure 11-7 illustrates the simplified YTO PLL. 2. Move the jumper on A14J23 to connect pins 2 and 3 (TEST position).
5. Calculate the YTO frequency error by subtracting the frequency recorded in step 3 from the frequency recorded in step 4. Record the result below: YTO Frequency Error = MHz YTO Frequency Error = YTO Frequency (MEASURED) -YTO Frequency(cALcuLATED) 6.
Check the fractional N oscillator (steps 13-17) 13. Set the spectrum analyzer to the following settings: Centerfrequency . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...300 MHz Span . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

50. If the spectrum analyzer center frequency is 300 MHz, the voltage at A14J18 pin 3 should measure -3.35 V f0.25 V. The voltage may also be determined from the following equation: V = -(first LO Frequency -2.95 GHz) x 2.654 V/GHz 51. The voltage at A14U330 pin 2 should measure -3.
Unlocked Fractional N PLL Operation The fractional N oscillator is used in the HP 85633 as a reference for the first LO phase locked loop. It provides the 1 Hz start-frequency resolution for the first LO, and is the means by which the first LO is swept in LO spans of 2 MHz or less (fractional N spans).

Frequency Span Accuracy Problems The spectrum analyzer employs lock-and-roll tuning to sweep the first LO for spans greater than 2.0 MHz. The first LO is locked to the start frequency immediately after the previous sweep has been completed. The first LO is then unlocked, and, when a trigger signal is detected, the first LO sweeps (rolls).
3. Use the following equation to determine the first LO span used. First LO Span = Display Span Setting Current Band Harmonic Mixing Number 4. Refer to Table 11-13 to determine the circuit associated with the span. Confirming Span Problems 1. If all first LO spans or only first LO spans of 2.
YTO Main Coil Span Problems (LO Spans >20 MHz) For YTO main coil spans, the YTO is locked at the beginning of the sweep and the sweep ramp is summed into the main coil tune driver. 1. Perform the YTO adjustment procedure in Chapter 2, “Adjustment Procedures.

Phase Noise Problems System phase noise can be a result of noise generated in many different areas of the spectrum analyzer. When the spectrum analyzer is functioning correctly, the noise can be observed as a function of the distance away (the offset) from the carrier frequency.
Fractional N versus Offset PLL or YTO PLL Phase Noise If the spectrum analyzer has excessive noise at >l kHz offset, measure the noise with center frequencies of 100 MHz and 2.5 GHz. If the measurements are equal, suspect the fractional N circuitry and the YTO loop circuitry on the Al4 frequency control assembly.
Sampler and Sampler IF The A15UlOO sampler creates and mixes harmonics of the sampling oscillator with the first LO. The resulting sampler IF (60 MHz to 96 MHz) is used to phase-lock the YTO. The sampler IF filters unwanted products from the output of A15UlOO and amplifies the IF to a level sufficient to drive the YTO loop.

6. TTL-level pulses should be observed. If the signal is either always high or always low, the display will be blanked; suspect the A2 controller assembly. 7. If the signals on A2J202 pins 3, 14, and 15 are correct, troubleshoot the Al7 CRT driver. Display Distortion The HP 85623 spectrum analyzer uses a vector display.
12. If signals are correct and cables to CRT are good, suspect the CRT. Focus Problems Focus problems may be due to a defective A18Vl CRT, the Al7 CRT driver (especially the grid level shifter section), or the A2 controller focus-control circuitry.
13. Verify that the front-panel intensity adjustment when used with the A17R21 Z FOCUS changes the peak-to-peak voltage at TP9 by 25 V. Access the intensity adjustment by pressing (DISPLAY), IEJmS3TY and turning the front panel knob. 14. Set the front-panel intensity to minimum.
Note The following measurements should be made with a high-voltage probe, such as the HP 34111A. When using the high-voltage probe, connect the ground lead securely to the spectrum analyzer chassis. 7. Carefully measure the grid voltage at A17J7 pin 6, and the cathode voltage at A17J7 pin 4.
A6 Power Supply Assembly Troubleshooting The spectrum analyzer uses a switching power supply operating at 40 kHz to supply the low voltages for most of the analyzer hardware, and a 30 kHz switching supply (CRT supply) to provide the high voltages for the CRT display.
Kick-start/Bias 1. Measure the voltage at TP108 to verify the output of the input rectifier. The voltage should be between t215 Vdc and +350 Vdc. 2. If it is not within this range, check the rear panel fuse, input rectifier, input filter, and the rear-panel line voltage selector switch.
Line Fuse Blowing 1. If the line fuse blows with the (LINE) switch off, suspect either the input filter or the power switch cable assembly. 2. If the line fuse blows when the spectrum analyzer is turned on, disconnect the power cord and lift the drain of A6Q102 from TP108.
Low Voltage Supplies 1. Connect the negative lead of the DVM to A6TP301 and verify the power supply voltages. a. Check A6TP302 for +15 Vdc. b. Check A6TP303 for -15 Vdc. c. Check A6TP304 for +28 Vdc. d. Check A6TP305 for -12.6 Vdc. e. Check A6TP308 for i-5 Vdc.
Note Ideally, the DVM should read the voltage written on the label of the A6Al HV module. If necessary, perform the “High Voltage Power Supply” adjustment in Chapter 2, “Adjustment Procedures.” 5. If the DVM does not read approximately +llO Vdc, measure the voltage on A6U401 pin 10.
7. If the sawtooth is correct, check the base of Q401 for 30 kHz pulses. 8. If the duty cycle is high, but there is no i-110 Vdc, suspect the bridge rectifier, CR401 through CR404. Buck Regulator Control See function block H of A6 power supply schematic diagram in the component-level information binder.
Power Up See function block D of the A6A2 regulator schematic diagram in the component-level information. The power up circuitry generates the PWR UP signal, which tells the microprocessor that the supplies are up and stable. PWR UP will go high when the +5 Vdc supply exceeds t4.
