A high confidence level in the instrument’s operation can be achieved  
by running only the Operation Verification Program, since it tests  
most of the instrument’s specifications. It is recommended that the  
Operation Verification Program be used for incoming inspection and  
after repairs, since it requires much less time and test equipment.  
A description of the program can be found in the Installation and  
Verification manual.

The procedures in this section test the instrument’s electrical  
performance using the Specifications in the Installation and  
Verification Manual as the performance standards. None of the  
tests require access to the interior of the instrument. The manual  
Performance Tests provided in this section should be performed only  
if semi-automatic test equipment (for Operation Verification) is not  
available or the Performance Test is not in the Operation Verification  
Program. (Refer to the Installation and Verification Manual for  
information on Operation Verification.)  
In tr od u ction  
When a complete verification of specifications is required, proceed as  
follows:  
Verificat ion of  
Specificat ion s  
1. Run the Operation Verification Program.  
2. The Operation Verification Program verifies compliance with  
specifications of all tests it performs. The tests not performed by  
the Operation Verification Program must be done manually and are  
as follows:  
n
Center Frequency Readout Accuracy  
Spurious Responses  
n
Fast Sweep Time Accuracy  
LO Output Amplitude Responses  
Frequency Reference Error  
n
n
If the results of a performance test are marginally within  
specification, go to the Adjustments section of this manual and  
perform the related adjustment procedures. When an adjustment is  
directly related to a performance test, the adjustment procedure is  
referenced under RELATED ADJUSTMENT in the performance test.  
This instrument requires periodic verification of performance. The  
instrument should have a complete verification of specifications at  
least every six months.

Fast Sweep Time Accuracy Test (Test 19).  
A universal counter is connected to the  
RECORDER  
OUTPUT (on the rear panel) of the spectrum analyzer. The counter is  
used in time interval mode to determine the “pen down” (sweep time)  
interval of the  
RECORDER OUTPUT. The  
output  
voltage level corresponds directly to the sweeping of the analyzer  
(pen down = OV) and not-sweeping of the analyzer (pen up =

0” to  
Frequency is within 1 x  
of final stabilized

The frequency of the spectrum analyzer time base oscillator is  
measured directly using a frequency counter locked to a frequency  
reference which has an aging rate less than one-tenth that of the  
time base specification. After a 30 day warmup period, a frequency  
measurement is made. The analyzer is left undisturbed for a  
period and a second reading is taken. The frequency change over this  
period must be less than one part in  
Descript ion  
This test requires that the spectrum analyzer be turned on (not in  
STANDBY) for a period of 30 days to ensure that the frequency  
reference attains its aging rate. However, after aging rate is attained,  
the frequency reference typically attains aging rate again in 72 hours  
of operation after being off for a period not exceeding 24 hours.  
Not e  
Care must be taken not to disturb the spectrum analyzer during the  
test interval, since the frequency reference is sensitive to  
shock and vibration. The frequency reference should remain within  
its attained aging rate if the instrument is left on, the instrument  
orientation with respect to the earth’s magnetic field is maintained,  
and the instrument does not sustain any mechanical shock. Frequency  
changes due to orientation with respect to the earth’s magnetic field  
and altitude changes will usually be nullified when the instrument  
is returned to its original position. Frequency changes due to  
mechanical shock will usually appear as a fixed frequency error.  
The frequency reference is also sensitive to temperature changes;  
for this reason the ambient temperature near the instrument at the  
first measurement time and the ambient temperature at the second  
measurement time should not differ by more than  
Placing the spectrum analyzer in STANDBY mode turns the  
instrument off while continuing to provide power for the frequency  
reference oven, helping to minimize warmup time. However, the  
frequency reference must be on to attain its aging rate.

The adjustment procedures should not be performed as routine  
maintenance, but only when Performance Tests cannot meet  
specifications. Before attempting any adjustment, allow the  
instrument to warm up for one hour.

Although this instrument has been designed in accordance with  
international safety standards, this manual contains information,  
cautions, and warnings which must be followed to ensure safe  
operations and to retain the instrument in safe condition. Service and  
adjustments should be performed only by qualified service personnel.  
Sa fety  
Con sid er a tion s  
Adjustments in this section are performed with power supplied  
to the instrument while protective covers are removed. There  
are voltages at many points in the instrument which can,  
if contacted, cause personal injury. Be extremely careful.  
Adjustment should be performed only by trained service  
personnel.  
Wa r n in g  
Power is still applied to this instrument with the LINE switch in  
STANDBY. There is no OFF position on the LINE switch. Before  
removing or installing any assembly or printed circuit board,  
remove the power cord from the rear of both instruments and  
wait for the MAINS indicators (red  
to go completely out.  
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged even if the  
instrument has been disconnected from its source of power.  
Use a non-metallic tuning tool whenever possible.  
The equipment required for the adjustment procedures is listed  
Equ ip m en t  
R eq u ir ed  
in  
l-l, Recommended Test Equipment, at the beginning of  
this manual. If the test equipment recommended is not available,  
substitutions may be used if they meet the “Critical Specifications”  
listed in the table. The test setup used for an adjustment procedure is  
referenced in each procedure.  
For adjustments requiring a non-metallic tuning tool, use fiber  
tuning tool HP Part Number 8710-0033. In situations not requiring  
non-metallic tuning tools, an ordinary small screwdriver or other  
suitable tool is sufficient. However, it is recommended that you use a  
non-metallic adjustment tool whenever possible. Never try to force  
any adjustment control in the analyzer. This is especially critical when  
tuning variable slug-tuned inductors and variable capacitors.

High Voltage  
Regulator Assembly, the CRT, or the CRT post-accelerator cable must  
be removed, perform the following procedure to ensure proper safety.  
This procedure should be performed by qualified personnel only.  
Voltages are present which, if contacted, could cause serious  
personal injury. Approximately -2400 V dc can be present on the  
High-Voltage Regulator assembly even when the ac line  
cord is disconnected. The CRT can hold a + 9500 V dc charge  
for several days if the post-accelerator cable is improperly  
disconnected.

The Al Display Section is adjusted to compensate the CRT drive  
circuits for proper horizontal and vertical characteristics. These  
preliminary adjustments are necessary only when a major repair has  
been performed in the display section (for example, replacement or  
De scr ip t ion  
repair of the  
Z Axis Amplifier,  
X-Deflection Amplifier, or  
Y-Deflection Amplifier assemblies). For routine maintenance,  
CRT replacement, or minor repairs, only adjustment procedure 4,  
“Final Display Adjustments,” needs to be performed.  
Be sure not to allow a high intensity spot to remain on the spectrum  
analyzer CRT. A fixed spot of high intensity may permanently damage  
the CRT’s phosphor coating. Monitor the CRT closely during the  
following adjustment procedures. If a spot occurs, move it off-screen  
by adjusting either the front-panel INTENSITY control, or the  
horizontal or vertical deflection position controls.

Four crystal filter bypass networks are required for alignment of the  
filter stages. See Figure 3-91 for information concerning the bypass  
networks.  
A stable 21.4 MHz signal is then applied to the IF section of the  
instrument from a frequency synthesizer. Each of the first four stages  
of the 3 MHz Bandwidth Filter is peaked in a 10 Hz bandwidth using  
an oscilloscope display. The final stage is peaked using the spectrum  
analyzer CRT display.  
After all five filter stages are adjusted for centering, symmetry, and  
peaking, the CAL OUTPUT signal is used to match the 10 Hz and 1  
bandwidth amplitudes.

meter and adjusted for proper level. Next, the 10  
gain steps are  
adjusted by connecting the CAL OUTPUT signal through two step  
attenuators to the RF INPUT and keying in the REFERENCE LEVEL  
necessary to activate each of the gain steps, while compensating for  
the increased gain with the step attenuators.  
The 1  
gain steps are checked in the same fashion as the 10  
gain steps, and then the variable gain is adjusted. The 18.4 MHz  
oscillator frequency is adjusted to provide adequate adjustment range  
of front-panel FREQ ZERO control; and last, the +

The frequency of the internal 10 MHz Frequency Standard is  
compared to a known frequency standard and adjusted for minimum  
frequency error. This procedure does not adjust the short-term  
stability or long-term stability of the 10 MHz Quartz Crystal Oscillator,  
which are determined by characteristics of the particular oscillator  
and the environmental and warmup conditions to which it has been  
recently exposed. The spectrum analyzer must be ON continuously  
(not in STANDBY) for at least 72 hours immediately prior to oscillator

Note  
The spectrum analyzer must be ON continuously (not in STANDBY) for  
at least 72 hours immediately prior to oscillator adjustment to allow  
both the temperature and frequency of the 10 MHz Quartz Crystal  
Oscillator to stabilize. Adjustment should not be attempted before the  
oscillator is allowed to reach its specified aging rate. Failure to allow  
sufficient stabilization time could result in oscillator misadjustment.  
The  
10 MHz Quartz Crystal Oscillator (HP P/N 0960-0477)  
will typically reach its specified aging rate again within 72 hours  
after being switched off for a period of up to 24 hours. If extreme  
environmental conditions were encountered during storage or  
shipment (i.e. mechanical shock, temperature extremes) the oscillator  
could require up to 30 days to achieve its specified aging rate.

is applied to the RF Section. This allows the

Standard oven to remain at thermal equilibrium, minimizing  
frequency drift due to temperature variations. The OVEN COLD

which are determined by characteristics of the particular oscillator  
and the environmental and warmup conditions to which it has been  
recently exposed. The spectrum analyzer must be ON continuously  
(not in STANDBY) for at least 72 hours immediately prior to oscillator  
adjustment to allow both the temperature and frequency of the  
oscillator to stabilize.

The spectrum analyzer must be ON continuously (not in STANDBY)  
for at least 72 hours immediately prior to oscillator adjustment.  
This allows both the temperature and frequency of the oscillator to  
stabilize. Adjustment should not be attempted before the oscillator is  
allowed to reach its specified aging rate. Failure to allow sufficient  
stabilization time could result in oscillator misadjustment.

The  
10 MHz Quartz Crystal Oscillator (HP P/N 1081  
11)  
typically reaches its specified aging rate again within 72 hours after  
being switched off for a period of up to 30 days, and within 24 hours  
after being switched off for a period less than 24 hours. If extreme  
environmental conditions were encountered during storage or  
shipment (i.e. mechanical shock, temperature extremes) the oscillator  
could require up to 30 days to achieve its specified aging rate.  
Replacement oscillators are factory-adjusted after a complete warmup  
and after the specified aging rate has been achieved. Readjustment  
should typically not be necessary after oscillator replacement, and is  
generally not recommended.  
1. Set the rear-panel FREQ REFERENCE switch on the spectrum  
analyzer RF Section to INT.  
The + 22 Vdc STANDBY supply provides power to the heater circuit in

Not e  
the  
10 MHz Frequency Standard assembly whenever line power  
10 MHz Frequency  
is applied to the RF Section. This allows the  
Standard oven to remain at thermal equilibrium, minimizing  
frequency drift due to temperature variations. The OVEN COLD  
message should typically appear on the spectrum analyzer display for  
10 minutes or less after line power is first applied to the RF Section.  
The rear-panel FREQ REFERENCE switch enables or disables the RF  
Section  
in the  
Vdc switched supply, which powers the oscillator circuits  
10 MHz Frequency Standard. This switch must be set to  
INT and the spectrum analyzer must be switched ON continuously  
(not in STANDBY) for at least 72 hours before adjusting the frequency  
of the  
10 MHz Frequency Standard.  
2. Set the LINE switch to ON. Leave the spectrum analyzer ON  
(not in STANDBY) and undisturbed for at least 48 hours to allow  
the temperature and frequency of the  
Standard to stabilize.

First, the voltage reference for the Shaping network is set by

high limit (57.5 MHz) and then setting the reference voltage (+ 15 VR)  
to that voltage.  
Descr ip tion  
Next, the  
tuning accuracy is adjusted at both the low and high  
end by setting the tune voltage to the proper levels to tune the  
to its low and high end limits (42.5 MHz and 57.5 MHz). This is done  
using the output of the tuning DACS from the

therefore, it is necessary that the DAC adjustments on the Frequency

Descr ip tion  
The Analog-to-Digital Ramp Converter is adjusted at zero and  
full-scale by injecting a 0 V dc input and + 10 V dc input and adjusting  
the OFFS and GAIN controls until the ramp output at  
toggles high to low. This sets the horizontal end points for the CRT  
trace display; when the sweep ramp input is at 0 V dc (the left  
graticule edge), trace position 1 is set, and when the sweep ramp  
input is at + 10 V  
(the right graticule edge), trace position 1000 is  
set.  
This procedure requires a + 10 V dc source which is stable and  
noise-free. A simple supply circuit which can be built with common  
components is illustrated in Figure 3-93. If these components are  
unavailable, the alternate procedure provided below (using only the  
digital voltmeter) can then be used.
