Operating Instructions

Attention!

the third is 2.75MHz. In the third IF stage, the signal can be
selectively transferred through a filter with 400kHz or 20kHz
bandwidth before arriving at an AM demodulator. The logarithmic
output (video signal) is transferred directly, or via a low pass filter
to another amplifier. This amplifier output is connected to the Y
deflection plates of the CRT.
The X deflection is performed with a ramp generator voltage. This
voltage can also be superimposed on a dc voltage which allows for
the control of 1st LO. The spectrum analyzer scans a frequency
range depending on the ramp height. This span is determined by
the scanwidth setting. In ZERO SCAN mode only the direct voltage
controls the 1st LO.
The HM5014 also includes a tracking generator. This generator
provides sine wave voltages within the frequency range of 0.15
to 1050MHz. The tracking generator frequency is determined by
the first oscillator (1st LO) of the spectrum analyzer section.
Spectrum analyzer and tracking generator are frequency
synchronized.
It is very important to read the paragraph "Safety" including the
instructions prior to operating the HM5012/14. No special
knowledge is necessary for the operation of the HM5012/14. The
straightforward front panel layout and the limitation to basic
functions guarantee efficient operation immediately. To ensure
optimum operation of the instrument, some basic instructions
need to be followed.
The most sensitive component of the HM5012/HM5014 is
the input section of the spectrum analyzer. It consists of
the signal attenuator and the first mixer. Without input
attenuation, the voltage at the input must not exceed
+10dBm (0.7Vrms) AC or ±25 volt DC. With a maximum input
attenuation of 40dB the AC voltage must not exceed
+20dBm.
These limits must not be exceeded
otherwise the input attenuator and/or the first mixer would
be destroyed.
