  • Page 13: 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 14: Synthesizer Module

    2-2 MG362x1A Subsystems Functional Description Synthesizer Module The synthesizer module contains the DDS up converter, 1600 MHz tone generator, course PLL, and fine PLL. The YIG loop frequency input provided by the YIG driver is phase locked and generates the lock circuitry for the synthesizer 2 - 20 GHz out to the switched filter.
  • Page 15: Frequency Synthesis

    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 16: Frequency Switching Speed

    2-3 Frequency Synthesis Functional Description Frequency Switching Speed The frequency switching speed is the elapsed time from the beginning of a frequency change to the point at which frequency is settled to within 1 kHz of the destination frequency. There is a “Frequency Valid” logic output to the rear panel.
  • Page 17: Modulation

    Functional Description 2-4 Modulation Modulation The modulation hardware (Option 27) is required to provide amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), phase modulation (ΦM), and pulse modulation (PM) of the RF output signal. The modulation module (B3) provides the modulation processing for each modulation mode. 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 18: Frequency Modulation

    2-4 Modulation Functional Description Frequency Modulation Frequency modulation (FM) 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. The external modulating signal comes from the rear panel FM/FM IN input connector. The internal modulating signal comes from the modulation processing module (B4).
  • Page 19: 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 20: 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 9 kHz to 70 GHz. The MG362x1A uses a single YIG-tuned oscillator.
  • Page 21: 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 switched filter assembly and then, via PIN switches, to switched low-pass filters. The PIN switch drive current signals are generated on the ALC module (B5) and routed to the switch control input on the B12 assembly.
