Section 1 Introduction The TEKTRONIX 1705A Spectrum Monitor is an 8½” wide by 5¼” high special purpose spectrum analyzer. It weighs approximately 8½ pounds and is powered from an ac source. The crt occupies approximately two-thirds of the front-panel area, with the control panel taking up the remainder of the space.
Introduction Figure 1-1: 1705A used to locate satellites and determine maximum signal level Options The only options currently available for the 1705A Spectrum Monitor are the power plug options described in Section 7 (Options). If no power cord options are ordered, instruments are shipped with the North American 125 V power cord and one replacement fuse.
The instrument was tested for compliance in a cabinet. To ensure continued compliance, the instrument will need to be enclosed in a cabinet that is equiva- lent to those listed as Optional Accessories for the 1705A. A drawing of the 1700F00 plain cabinet is contained in the Installation Instructions (Section 3).

APPLICATIONS The principal application for the TEKTRONIX 1705A Spectrum Monitor is to provide a convenient method to locate and identify Ku-Band satellites, find the correct transponder and check on its availability, and optimize antenna position- ing and polarization.

North American continent and Hawaii Using the 1705A for Satellite Communication The 1705A has two separate inputs, one, the L- -Band Input, is specifically designed to work with LNB down converters, which have an output signal range of 0.95 to 1.80 GHz.
1705A display. As it is shipped from the factory the 1705A provides a readout in MHz for both bands. However, the 1705A has several customizing routines that can be used to tailor displays for ease of operation.
Zeroing in on a Satellite In almost all cases a set procedure for Locating, Identifying, Finding (transpond- ers), and Optimizing will be followed. The 1705A Spectrum Monitor is a tool that greatly simplifies the individual steps so the correct satellite transponder can be accessed in the minimum time.
Introduction Figure 1-6: A computer representation of the 1705A display showing the 12.198 GHz horizontally polarized telemetry beacon on the SATCOM K2 satellite (Span/Div set to 100 kHz with a 10 kHz Resolution filter) Transponder Polarization. Whether one or two polarizations are used can often be an easy way to identify a satellite.
Once the satellite has been found it will be necessary to find the proper trans- Transponder ponder and determine if it is available. With the 1705A frequency readout offset correctly set up, it is possible to directly zero in on the correct transponder.
Introduction Figure 1-8: Simulation of a 1705A FULL SPAN/DIV display showing six transponders illuminated Looking at Exciters with The 70 MHz Input to the spectrum monitor is a bnc connector. It is designed for the 70 MHz Input use with the IF signal from an up link exciter. Most up link transmitters use an exciter to drive an Upconverter and High Power Amplifier (HPA), and, in most cases, the driving signal to the Upconverter is a 70 MHz IF.

Operating Instructions Powering- up When the 1705A is first powered up, it should come up in a measurement mode. Most commonly it will be configured as it was when it was last turned off. If not, there are some very simple checks that should be made.
Measurement Graticule The 1705A is equipped with an internal graticule crt. The graticule has an 8 X 10 division scale that is lighted. Scale brilliance is controlled by the front-panel SCALE control. Figure 2-4 shows the 1705A graticule. Refer to this figure and subsequent figures when reading the following discussion of the graticule.
Traditionally, many spectrum analyzer measurements and specifications are between 6 and 60 dB. The available sweep for the 1705A is 12 divisions long, which means that not all of the frequencies that it is capable of displaying can be displayed simultaneous- ly.
Figure 2-6: Frequency relationship to horizontal graticule scale; center frequency corresponds to the center of the horizontal scale The 1705A is equipped with alphanumeric readout for the CENTER FREQUEN- CY. This readout works in conjunction with a cursor. In FULL SPAN/DIV, the cursor is actually a bright-up zone on the trace.

Operating Instructions Customizing Frequency Readout The type and location of the readout for the TEKTRONIX 1705A Spectrum Monitor can be changed from the front panel. The options available are: 1. The choice of having readout or turning it off. 2. The position on the crt where the readout appears.

WARNING The following servicing instructions are for use only by qualified personnel. To avoid injury, do not perform any servicing other than that stated in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer to all safety summaries before performing any service.
(such as phase-to-phase in multiphase systems) are not recommended as power sources. Mains Frequency and The 1705A operates over a frequency range of 48 to 66 Hz, at any mains voltage Voltage Ranges between 90 Vac and 250 Vac. These newer versions of the 1705A instruments do not require any internal changes to select their operating voltage range.
Under extreme LNB load conditions it is possible for the +18 V supply to load the main 1705A power supply enough to change the low line regulation. Under these circumstances the power supply may go out of regulation when mains voltage falls below 100 V.
All qualification testing for the 1705A was performed with a 1700F00 cabinet installed. See Figure 3-2. To guarantee compliance with specifications, the instrument must be operated in a cabinet. The portable cabinet, 1700F02, has a handle, four feet, a flip-up stand, and has different hole sizes and spacing than the 1700F00.

When only one instrument is mounted in the side-by-side adapter, an accessory drawer (1700F07) can be installed in the blank side of the cabinet.

Microprocessor Diagram 5 The 1705A is a microprocessor-controlled instrument. Circuitry on Diagram 5 shows the microprocessor, the front-panel LED drive, the crt readout drive, the graticule light circuit, and the trace rotation circuit. Microprocessor The processor (U2) is an 8-bit, 3-port microprocessor running at 12 MHz. U8 is the lower order address de-multiplexer for the Program PROM U9.
Trace rotation compensates for changes in the magnetic field surrounding the 1705A. Q1 and Q2 are emitter followers that provide the Trace Rotation current to a coil around the crt, inside the shield. The voltage on the emitter of either Q1 or Q2 will develop a current through R19 to drive the coil.
