Figure 9-8. Detailed IF Adjust Signature (5)
Common
IF
Signature
Problems
Region A of Figure 9-4 is noisy:
Suspect the first LC pole.
Region B of Figure 9-4 is flat:
Suspect the third step-gain stage, the fine attenuator, or the fourth LC-pole output
amplifier.
Region C of Figure 9-4 has no 15 dB step:
Suspect the reference 15 dB attenuator.
Region D of Figure 9-4 is flat:
Suspect the second step-gain stage.
Entire signature noisy:
If the signature resembles Figure 9-9, suspect a broken first step-gain stage or a break in
the signal path in the input switch, first crystal pole, or second crystal pole.
Correct shape but noisy:
If the signature resembles Figure
9-10,
suspect the second crystal-pole output amplifier.
Amplitude of Region B of Figure 9-11 varies more than 12
dB:
Suspect the third step-gain stage output amplifier.
Region B of Figure 9-12 is kinked:
Suspect the fourth LC-pole output amplifier.
