Unlocked YTO PLL
Replacement of the phase/frequency detector chip A14U204 is not

recommended. The part is very delicate and requires special tooling to
install successfully.
7. If the YTO frequency error recorded in step 5 is greater than 20
8. If the YTO Frequency error recorded in step 5 is less than 20 MHz,
Check first LO pretune frequency and amplitude (steps 10-13)
9. The pretuned frequency of the first LO must be sufficiently accurate

MHz, do the following:
• Check the YTO Adjustments using the TAM or the procedure in
Chapter 2.
• Check the YTO DACs using the procedure in steps 41 through 49
below, or using manual probe troubleshooting with the TAM on
A14J17 and A14J18.
• Refer to steps 9 through 33 below.
do the following:
• Measure the frequency at A14J304. The frequency should be
equal to the frequency recorded in step 6. If not, refer to
"Unlocked Fractional N PLL" in this chapter.
• Measure the input and output levels of the A15U100 sampler. If
the sampler appears defective, check the LO drive to the sampler
as described in "Sampler and Sampler IF."
• Refer to steps 34 through 51 below.
for the YTO loop to acquire lock. The amplitude of the first LO must
be sufficient to drive the A15U100 sampler. Perform the YTO
Adjustment procedure, particularly the YTO main coil adjustments.

instead of the microwave frequency counter specified in the
adjustment procedure.)
