Re: Troubleshooting a 8591e with opt 130


 

Yves,
?
I double checked and filled the table like you did
? Log Lin
VLOG2 -7.990 10,092
VLOG3 -8,015 10,089
VLOG1 -8,07 10,087
-8VT -8,236 -8,236
VLIN 3,672 -6,624
VLOG/VLIN 3,695 -8,005
Some differences but not directly issues i'd say.
?
I checked but don't have a replacement LM339 on hand. I doubt that's the issue though, since at the output of the LM339 the full swing is measured, it's only after the resistor division in the "Gain Control Lines" part that the voltages are not reaching the expected levels anymore. So it seems the circuit after the Gain control lines division is loading it incorrectly.
?
I also checked the REF Level Cal signal. It's the output of a DAC on the Analog interface board, U106 pin 16.?
Measured in factory default cal and after self cal. level changes so it seems to function, don't know if its correctly though.?
? Fact Def cal Self cal done
REF Level Cal 8,85V 6,864V
Mrkr freq 300MHz 300MHz
Mrkr level -14,1dBm -5,1dBm
?
Since my analyzer measures the cal signal in LIN mode at around -30dB~-35dB when in factory default cal it wouldn't surprise me if the additional gain is added because the signal is measured too low in LIN mode during selfcal.?
? Fact Def cal Self cal done
MKR Freq 292,7MHz 300,05MHz
MKR Level Log -14,3dBm -5,1dBm
MKR Level Lin -27,8dBm -20,2dBm
?
I'm starting to think the full Log amp adjustment might have to be done because the lin and log gaines are perhaps not what they should be.. Although maybe the G4/G5/G6 voltage levels should be fixed first??
