Low Band Problems (50 Hz to 2.9 GHz)

1. Disconnect all inputs from the front-panel INPUT
2. Set the HP 8560A to the following settings:
C E N T E R F R E Q
SPAN . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1 MHz

3. The LO feedthrough's amplitude observed on the display should be between -6 and
- 3 0 dBm.
Note
The marker will not PEAK SEARCH on the LO Feedthrough when in a
non-zero span. To measure the LO Feedthrough amplitude with the markers,
set the SPAN to 0 Hz and
4. If the LO feedthrough's amplitude is within limits, but signals are low, the RF path
following the A8 Low Band Mixer is operating properly.
5. If the LO feedthrough's amplitude is higher than -5 dBm (signal will be "clipped" at top
of screen) and signals are low in amplitude, suspect a defective A8 Low Band Mixer.
