Page 17: Chapter 2 - Functional Description
Chapter 2 — Functional Description Introduction This chapter provides brief functional descriptions of the major subsystems that are contained in each model of the MG362x1A. In addition, the operation of the frequency synthesis, automatic level control (ALC), and RF deck subsystems is described so that the instrument operator may better understand the overall operation of the MG362x1A.
Page 18: Alc
2-2 Major Subsystems Functional Description This ALC circuit subsystem consists of the B5 ALC Module, output coupler, and switched filter. It provides the following: • Level control of the RF output power • Current drive signals to the PIN switches located in the switched filter assembly (SWF) and the A12 Frequency Extension Module (FEM).

Functional Description 2-3 Frequency Synthesis Frequency Synthesis The frequency synthesis subsystem provides phase-lock control of the MG362x1A output frequency. It consists of a phase-locking loops that operating together, produce an accurately synthesized, low-noise RF output signal. 9 kHz to 2.2 GHz Digital Down Converter The 9 kHz to 2.2 GHz digital down converter assembly provides the digitized frequency control below 2.2 GHz.
Page 22: Frequency Extension Module (Fem)
2-3 Frequency Synthesis Functional Description Frequency Extension Module (FEM) The B11 Frequency Extension Module is used on all MG362x1A models with RF output frequencies > 20 GHz. Model MG36241A uses an FEM to double the fundamental frequencies of 10 to 20 GHz to produce RF output frequencies of 20 to 40 GHz.
Page 23: Modulation
Functional Description 2-4 Modulation Modulation The modulation hardware option (Option 27) is required to provide amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), phase modulation (ΦM), and pulse modulation (PM) of the RF output signal. Amplitude Modulation Amplitude modulation (AM) of the RF output signal is accomplished by summing an external or internal modulating signal into the ALC loop.
Page 24: Phase Modulation
2-4 Modulation Functional Description Phase Modulation Phase modulation (M) of the YIG-tuned oscillator RF output is achieved by summing an external or internal modulating signal into the FM control path of the YIG loop.

Page 25: Alc Loop Operation
Functional Description 2-5 ALC Loop Operation ALC Loop Operation In the MG362x1A, a portion of the RF output is detected and coupled out of the directional coupler/level detector as the feedback input to the ALC loop. The feedback signal from the detector is routed to the B5 ALC Module where it is compared with a reference voltage that represents the desired RF power output level.
Page 26: Rf Deck Assemblies
2-6 RF Deck Assemblies Functional Description RF Deck Assemblies The primary purpose of the RF deck assembly is to generate CW RF signals and route these signals to the front panel RF OUTPUT connector. It is capable of generating RF signals in the frequency range of 0.008 to 70 GHz (0.1 Hz to 70 GHz with Option 22).
Page 27: Rf Signal Filtering
Functional Description 2-6 RF Deck Assemblies RF Signal Filtering The RF signal from the YIG-tuned oscillator is routed to the level control circuits located on the A10 switched filter assembly and then, via PIN switches, to switched low-pass filters. The PIN switch drive current signals are generated on the B5 ALC Module and routed to the switch control input on the B12 assembly.
