4.8 Khz If Filters - Agilent Technologies 8564EC Service Manual

2. If an FM signal cannot be demodulated, perform the Demodulator

4.8 kHz IF Filters

Refer to function block N of A4 Log Amplifier Schematic Diagram (sheet
3 of 4) in the 8560 E-Series Spectrum Analyzer Component Level
Information.
Problems with the 4.8 kHz filters can result in spurious signals
appearing 2.88 kHz to 3.52 kHz greater than the frequency of the
desired response. Also, ERR 536 RBW <300 may occur when problems
exist with the 4.8 kHz IF filters.
Measure the passband of the 4.8 kHz IF filters as described in the
following procedure:
1. On the 8564EC or 8565EC spectrum analyzer, press
2. Disconnect W27 from A4J3 and inject a 10.7 MHz signal of −20 dBm
3. Fine-tune the frequency of the signal generator to center the signal
4. Set another spectrum analyzer, such as the 8566A/B, to 4.8 kHz
If a dc block is not used, damage to the 8566A/B results. The 8566A/B

and many other spectrum analyzers have dc-coupled inputs and cannot
tolerate dc voltages on their inputs.
5. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT (rear panel) of the 8564EC or
6. Set the 8566A/B to single trigger and press TRACE A
7. Reconnect W27 (coax 3) to A4J3.

block to the input of the 8566A/B. Set the sweep time of the 8566A/B
to 10 seconds.
Trigger a sweep of the 8566A/B and the signal generator
simultaneously. The 8566A/B shows the passband of the 4.8 kHz IF
filters. The 3 dB bandwidth of the filters should be 1.2 kHz. The
passband of the filters should be flat within 2 dB over 800 Hz.
