  • Page 43: Returnlossofcables

    Check the Test Port Cables The following series of cable tests (return loss, insertion loss, magnitude stability, phase stability, and connector repeatability) can be done to check the stability of a test port cable. These checks are not required, but are recommended to avoid spending a considerable amount of time on the verilhtion only to have a failure caused by the cables.

  • Page 322 Directivity (EDF and EDR) These are the uncorrected forward and reverse directivity error terms of the system. The directivity error of the test port is determined by measuring the return loss specification than does the uncorrected test port, therefore any power detected from this measurement is assumed to be due to directivity error.
  • Page 323 Source Match (ESF and ESR) Description These are the forward and reverse uncorrected source match terms of the driven port. They are obtained by measuring the reflection (Sll, S22) of an open and then a short connected directly to the ports. Source match is a measure of the match between the coupler and test set connector, as well as the match between all components from the source to the output port.
  • Page 324 Reflection Tracking (ERF and ERR) Reflection tracking is the difference between the frequency response of the reference path (R path) and the frequency response of the reflection test path (A or B input path). These error terms are characterized by measuring the reflection (Sl1 , S22) of the open and the short during the measurement calibration.
  • Page 325 Isolation (Crosstalk, EXF and EXR) These are the uncorrected forward and reverse isolation error terms that represent leakage between the test ports and the signal paths. The isolation error terms are characterized by measuring transmission (S21, S12) with loads attached to both ports during the measurement calibration. Since these terms are low in magnitude, they are usually noisy (not very repeatable).

  • Page 330 In addition to the analyzer, the system includes cables for interconnections, and calibration standards for accuracy enhanced measurements. Functional Groups of the Analyzer The operation of the analyzer is most logically described in five functional groups. Each group consists of several major assemblies, and performs a distinct function in the instrument.
  • Page 331 Power Supply Theory The power supply functional group consists of the Al5 preregulator and the that provides regulated DC voltages to power all assemblies in the analyzer. The the display. It is connected to the A8 post regulator by a wire bus A15Wl. Figure 12-2 is a simplified block diagram of the power supply group.
  • Page 332 The line power module includes the line power switch, voltage selector switch, and main fuse. The line power switch is activated from the front panel. The voltage selector switch, accessible at the rear panel, adapts the analyzer to local line voltages of approximately 115 V or 230 V (with 350 VA maximum). The main fuse, which protects the input side of the preregulator against drawing too much line current, is also accessible at the rear panel.
  • Page 333 The A8 post regulator filters and regulates the DC voltages received from the voltage supplies. It distributes regulated constant voltages to individual assemblies throughout the instrument. It includes the overtemperature shutdown circuit, the variable fan speed circuit, and the air flow detector. Nine green LEDs provide status indications for the individual voltage supplies.
  • Page 334 Display Power The A8 assembly supplies + 5VCPU and + 65 V (not used) to the A22 GSP interface board. The +5VCPU is routed to the A19 GSP where it is regulated to +3.3 V and sent to the display. The A19 GSP also controls and supplies power to the A20 backlight inverter.
  • Page 335 Al Front Panel The Al front panel assembly provides user interface with the analyzer. It includes the keyboard for local user inputs, and the front panel LEDs that indicate instrument status. The RPG (rotary pulse generator) is not electrically connected to the front panel, but provides user inputs directly to the front panel processor.
  • Page 336 Main CPU @rmware revisions 6.xx and below) The main CPU is a 16-bit microprocessor that maintains digital control over the entire instrument through the instrument bus. The main CPU receives external control information from the front panel or HP-IB, and performs processing and formatting operations on the raw data in the main RAM.
  • Page 337 The correction constants can be updated by executing the routines in Chapter 3, “Adjustments and Correction Constants. n Digital Signal Processor The digital signal processor receives the digitized data from the A10 digital IF. It computes discrete Fourier transforms to extract the complex phase and magnitude data from the 4 kHz IF signal.
  • Page 338 The A20 backlight inverter assembly supplies the ac voltage for the backlight tube in the A18 display assembly. This assembly takes the +5.16Vdc from the Al mother board and converts it to approximately 380 Vat with 5 ma of current at 40 kHz.
  • Page 339 TEST SEQ. This outputs a lTL signal that can be programmed in a test sequence to be high or low, or pulse (10 pseconds) high or low at the end of a sweep for a robotic part handler interface. Pass: ‘ITL high Fail: Tl’Llow VGA OUTPUT.
  • Page 340 Figure 12-3. Source Functional Group, Simplified Block Diagram The subsweep sequence takes place in the following steps. The paragraphs below describe the details of this process, and provide additional information on the assemblies in the source group. 1. The source is pretuned low. The source signal (SOURCE OUT) is fed to the R sampler.
  • Page 341 Source Pretune The pretune DAC (digital-to-analog converter) in the All phase lock assembly sets the source YIG oscillator frequency to approximately 2.4 GHz. This signal (SOURCE OUT) goes to the R sampler assembly. The A14/A13 fractional-N assemblies comprise the synthesizer. The source feedback circuit phase locks the YIG oscillator to the synthesizer output signal as explained below under “Al1 Phase Lock: Comparing Phase and Frequency.
  • Page 342 A11 Phase Lock: Comparing Phase and Frequency The 10 MHz 1st IF signal from the A64 sampler is fed back to the All phase lock assembly. In All it is amplified, limited, and filtered to produce a 10 MHz square wave. This is divided down to 1 MHz, then applied to a phase/frequency detector that compares it to a crystal controlled 1 MHz signal (PL REF) from the Al2 reference assembly (see “Al2 Reference: the Crystal Reference Frequencies,"...

  • Page 344 Source Block: The YIG Oscillator Signals The source block includes two YIG oscillators and a 3.8 GHz hxed oscillator. The outputs of these oscillators produce the source signal. In phase-locked operation, this signal tracks the stable output of the synthesizer. Figure 12-4 illustrates the assemblies in the source block.
  • Page 345 The full YIG oscillator frequency range is achieved in two bands: Band Frequency Range 50 MHz to 2.55 GHz High 2.55 GHz to 20.0 GHz Mid (HP 87221)) High (HP 8722D) 20 GHz to 40 GHz In the low band, the 2.4 to 20 GHz output of YIGl and the lixed 3.8 GHz output of the A57 fixed oscillator are mixed in the A53 mixer/amplifier assembly.
  • Page 346 Signal Separation Figure 12-5. Signal Separation, Simplified Block Diagram The M/A/D/S microcircuit accomplishes four separate functions: The modulator controls the output power proportionally to the signal produced by the ALC circuit on the source Interface board. The amplifier provides up to + 30 dB of amplification that will allow up to + 5 output from the test port.
  • Page 347 The amplifier can provide +30 dB of amplification for test port output power levels up to +5 dBm for HP 8719D/20D (-10 dBm for HP 8722D). The detector outputs a voltage that is proportional to the RF power out of the amplifier.
  • Page 348 The step attenuator provides coarse power control for the source signal. It is an electro-mechanical attenuator, controlled by the A7 CPU, that provides 0 to 55 changing the level of the incident power in the reference path. The output of the step attenuator is fed into the S4 transfer switch. This is a solid-state switch.
  • Page 349 Receiver Theory The receiver measures and processes the input signals into digital information for display. Figure 12-7 is a simplified block diagram of the receiver functional group. The Al2 reference assembly, which is part of the source group, is also included in the illustration to show how the 2nd LO signal is derived.
  • Page 350 The signal from the source is mixed with the 1st LO harmonics in the samplers. One of the harmonic signals is 10 MHz above the desired frequency. The mixing products are atered, leaving only the difference between that harmonic and the source frequency: this fixed 10 MHz signal is the 1st IF (Fir = N x FVCO - Fs, where N is the harmonic number).
  • Page 351 The processed and formatted data is llnally routed to the display, and to the HP-IB for remote operation. Refer to “Digital Control Theory” in this section and to Data Processing in the tirst chapter of the Reference for more information on signal processing. An additional input to the A10 assembly is the analog bus (ABUS), a built-in service tool for testing analog circuits within the instrument.

  • Page 447 In any measurement, certain measurement errors associated with the system add uncertainty to the measured results. This uncertainty defines how accurately a device under test (DUT) can be measured. Network analysis measurement errors can be separated into two types: raw and residual.
  • Page 448 Sources of Measurement Errors Sources of Systematic Errors The residual (after measurement calibration) systematic errors result from imperfections in the calibration standards, the connector interface, the interconnecting cables, and the instrumentation. All measurements are affected by dynamic accuracy and frequency error effects. For reflection measurements, the associated residual errors are effective directivity, effective source match, and effective reflection tracking.
  • Page 449 Connector repeatability is the random variation encountered when connecting a pair of RF connectors. Variations in both reflection and transmission can be observed. The listing below shows the abbreviations used for random errors in the error models and uncertainty equations. Rnt = raw noise on trace (rms) Rnf = raw noise on floor (rms) Crrl = port 1 connector reflection repeatability error...
  • Page 450 Measurement Uncertainty Equations Any measurement result is the vector sum of the actual test device response plus all error terms, The precise effect of each error term depends on its magnitude and phase relationship to the actual test device response. When the phase of an error response is not known, phase is assumed to be worst case generally combined in a root-sum-of-the-squares (RSS) manner.

  • Page 453 The detailed equation for each of the above terms is derived from the signal flow model, located at the end of this appendix. Transmission Phase Uncertainty (Etp) Transmission phase uncertainty is calculated from a comparison of the magnitude uncertainty with the test signal magnitude. The worst case phase angle is computed.
