Page 17: Front Panel Leds
Description STATUS This LED indicates the overall health of the M9302A and is a summary of the fol- lowing LEDs, covering the power supplies and other hardware operations. The M9302A has extensive built-in-tests (BIT) and specific issues can be identified by observing the status indicator on the front panel. -
Page 18: Block Diagram
Requirements for Operational Check The Agilent M9302A PXI Local Oscillator operational check measures the LO OUT signal and uses that as a ref- erence to compare the signal paths to the 10 MHz REF OUT and the two 100 MHz REF OUT connectors. The fol- lowing process demonstrates that all associated connectors, cables and circuitry are operational. - Page 19 If self test passes, go to next step. b. If self test fails, the module needs repair. 3. Check the voltage and PLL indicators. They are GREEN if the power supplies are good and the M9302A LO and Reference loops are locked.
- Page 20 1. Verify that all relevant hardware is turned on. 2. Verify that the M9302A paths are correctly set from the SFP and that the signal generator is set to the proper power/frequency and that all cables are properly connected. All SMA connectors are torqued to 8 Lb-In (0.904 Nm).

Page 21: Performance Verification Tests
Measurement Frequencies The signal frequency at which the 10 MHz lock status is checked is equal to the lock range of the M9302A plus an addition offset based on the frequency accuracy of the signal source internal frequency reference. It is assumed that an E8257D is the signal source and that the calibration interval is 3 years. -

Page 27: Harmonic Distortion Test
Performance Verification Tests Harmonic Distortion Test Test Method This test measure the second harmonic distortion of the LO Output of the M9302A LO module. Limitations and Considerations Methodology This measurement is made using a signal analyzer. However, the signal analyzer frequency response is calibrated using a two-resistor splitter and a power sensor prior to measuring harmonic distortion. - Page 28 3. Turn on the PXI chassis and allow it to warm up for 15 minutes. 4. Perform a power meter zero and calibration on the power sensor. 5. Open the M9302A soft front panel and set the LO Frequency to 3 GHz (default value). 6. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 1.
