Theory of Operation 8719ET/20ET/22ET Information on This Chapter 8719ES/20ES/22ES RF Network Analyzers Information on This Chapter This chapter provides a general description of the system, and operating theory of the network analyzer functional groups. Operation is explained to the assembly level only: component-level circuit theory is not provided.
System Operation RF Network Analyzers System Operation The 8719ET/ES, 8720ET/ES, and 8722ET/ES microwave network analyzers integrate a synthesized source, signal separation devices, a three or four channel receiver for measurement of test device characteristics, and a large-screen display. Figure 12-1 is a simplified block diagram of the network analyzer system.

8719ET/20ET/22ET Theory of Operation 8719ES/20ES/22ES Functional Groups of the Analyzer RF Network Analyzers Functional Groups of the Analyzer The operation of the analyzer is most logically described in five functional groups. Each group consists of several major assemblies, and performs a distinct function in the instrument.
Theory of Operation 8719ET/20ET/22ET Power Supply Theory 8719ES/20ES/22ES RF Network Analyzers Power Supply Theory The power supply functional group consists of the A15 preregulator and the A8 post regulator. These two assemblies comprise a switching power supply that provides regulated dc voltages to power all assemblies in the analyzer. The A15 preregulator is enclosed in a casting at the rear of the instrument behind the display.
8719ET/20ET/22ET Theory of Operation 8719ES/20ES/22ES Power Supply Theory RF Network Analyzers Line Power Module The line power module includes the line power switch, voltage selector switch, and main fuse. The line power switch is activated from the front panel. The voltage selector switch, accessible at the rear panel, adapts the analyzer to local line voltages of approximately 115 V or 230 V (with 350 VA maximum).
Theory of Operation 8719ET/20ET/22ET Power Supply Theory 8719ES/20ES/22ES RF Network Analyzers Voltage Indications: the Green LEDs The nine green LEDs along the top edge of the A8 assembly are on in normal operation, to indicate the correct voltage is present in each supply. If they are off or flashing, a problem is indicated.

Theory of Operation 8719ET/20ET/22ET Digital Control Theory 8719ES/20ES/22ES RF Network Analyzers Main CPU The main CPU is a 32-bit microprocessor that maintains digital control over the entire instrument through the instrument bus. The main CPU receives external control information from the front panel or GPIB, and performs processing and formatting operations on the raw data in the main RAM.
8719ET/20ET/22ET Theory of Operation 8719ES/20ES/22ES Digital Control Theory RF Network Analyzers A19 Graphics System Processor (GSP) The A19 graphics system processor provides an interface between the A7 CPU and the A18 display. The CPU (A7) converts the formatted data to GSP commands and writes it to the GSP.

8719ET/20ET/22ET Theory of Operation 8719ES/20ES/22ES Signal Separation: ES Models Only RF Network Analyzers A74 Transfer Switch The output of the step attenuator is fed into the A74 transfer switch. This is a solid-state switch. It switches between the PORT 1 and PORT 2 measurement paths, automatically enabling alternate forward and reverse measurements.
R sampler and the other is sent through the A69 step attenuator (ET Option 004 models only), A23 dc block (8719ET Option 004 and 8720ET Option 004 only), A62 directional coupler, and out to the REFLECTION port. The TRANSMISSION port is routed through the A21 fixed attenuator pad and then to the A66 B sampler.
A23 DC Block (8719ET Option 004 and 8720ET Option 004 Only) The dc block prevents a dc voltage from entering the analyzer by way of a device under test (DUT).

Figure 12-8 is a simplified block diagram of the receiver functional group. The A12 reference assembly, which is part of the source group, is also included in the illustration to show how the 2nd LO signal is derived.
8719ET/20ET/22ET Theory of Operation 8719ES/20ES/22ES Receiver Theory RF Network Analyzers Part of the 1st IF signal from the R sampler is fed back to the A11 phase lock assembly to complete the source phase-locked loop. The 1st IF from all three samplers goes to the corresponding second converters.
