To perform the YTF alignment, reconnect W62 or W57 cable, and press
System, Alignments, More, Ad vanced, Characterize Preselector. The routine
may take several minutes to align the YTF. Display the 4.8 GHz calibrator
signal on screen as explained in the quick check section. If the signal level is
still incorrect, suspect all assemblies, cables, switches and the A15 Reference
calibrator signal between the W62/W57 cable and the input to the A9
Attenuator.
If Option MPB is not present, remove A10 Input Attenuator B output cable and
measure the output power. Expected signal is 4.8 GHz −38 dBm. See
Figure
5-8
for location of attenuator. If the attenuator output signal is correct suspect
the A11 Low Band Switch, and if Option MPB or LNP is installed, suspect
switches 3 and 4. Also suspect the switching signals from the A15 Front End
controller. The control signals are explained in the Front End Control
Troubleshooting section.

A9 Input Attenuator A and A10 Input Attenuator B Verification
Calibrator Switch Test
On the A16 Reference assembly, disconnect semi rigid cable W3 from A16J701
and measure A16J701 with a spectrum analyzer. Expected signal is 4.8 GHz at
−28 dBm ± 0.5 dB. If signal level is incorrect, suspect A16 Reference Assembly.
