Page 71 R&S ZVL Instrument Design and Function Description of ZVL3/3-75/6 3 Repair This chapter describes the design of the R&S ZVL, simple measures for repair and troubleshooting and, in particular, the replacement of modules. For troubleshooting and diagnostics, a self test is available for polling diagnostic voltages of the modules and detecting limit violations.
Page 72 Instrument Design and Function Description of ZVL3/3-75/6 R&S ZVL Description of Block Diagram The R&S FSL is a triple-conversion heterodyne receiver for the frequency range from 9 kHz to 3 GHz or 6 GHz, depending on the instrument model. After signals are received, they are processed by the frontend to a digital IF of approx.
Page 73 R&S ZVL Instrument Design and Function Description of ZVL3/3-75/6 The mixer is followed by a low-noise IF amplifier, which compensates for the loss due to mixing. The signal then passes a filter with a 3 dB bandwidth of approximately 500 MHz for filtering the first intermediate frequency.
