Theory of Operation This section describes the 2715 circuitry. The section begins with a functional description of the major circuit blocks. This is followed by more detailed descriptions of the circuitry within each block. While reading these descriptions, refer to the corresponding diagrams in Section 9: Diagrams.
A 25 Ω resistor within the RF INPUT connector assembly is placed in series with the signal path. This transforms the connector to a 75 Ω impedance for external signal connections. All RF signal connections within the 2715 (SMA and SMB connectors) have a 50 Ω impedance. RF type signal connections...
