Common IF Signature Problems
Region A of
Figure 9-9, "Detailed IF Adjust Signature (1)"
noisy:
Suspect the first LC pole.
Region B of
Figure 9-9 on page 459
Suspect the third step-gain stage, the fine attenuator, or the fourth
LC-pole output amplifier.
Region C of
Figure 9-9, "Detailed IF Adjust Signature (1)"
no 15 dB step:
Suspect the reference 15 dB attenuator.
Region D of
Figure 9-9 on page 459
Suspect the second step-gain stage.
Entire signature noisy:
If the signature resembles
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
suspect the second crystal-pole output amplifier.
Amplitude of Region B of
