E8247C and E8257C\D Option H30

User’s and Service Guide Supplement 1

Description

The Option H30 adds a mixer and coax switch to enable the E8247C or the E8257C/D to upconvert a RF signal (input is provided on the rear panel) to a higher frequency which will be the sum and difference of the RF input signal and frequency set on the E8247C or

E8257C/D.

The coaxial switch allows the E8247C or E8257C/D with Option H30 to be switched from standard synthesizer mode to upconverter mode. This allows the E8247C to be used as a standard source instrument, as well as an upconverter. The synthesizer and upconverter modes can be selected on the front panel or by remote command. The upconverted output signal is the same as the front panel RF output. The input connector is a SMA type female that is located on the rear panel.

The Option H30 can be ordered with Option 520 or Option 540. For instruments that include Option 520, signals can be upconverted from 200 kHz to 26 GHz. For instruments that include Option 540, signals can be upconverted from 6 GHz to 46 GHz.

NOTE When in upconverter mode, the displayed RF output power level is LO drive.

The displayed RF power in upconverter mode does not represent the power of the upconverted signal at the RF output.

The maximum RF power output of the E8247C and E825C Option H30 is reduced by

2 dBm due to the added insertion loss of the coax transfer switch required for the design.

For units with Option H30, subtract 2 dBm from the power output specifications listed in

Table 1 of the standard user’s guides E8251-90253 and E8251-90353.

Operation and Performance Verification

Documentation Conventions

The following key conventions are used throughout this document.

• [HARDKEYS] are labeled front panel keys.

• SOFTKEYS are unlabeled keys whose function is indicated on the instrument display.

Option H30 Operation (520 or 540)

To use the E8247C and E8257C/D Option H30 as a standard instrument, refer to the standard User’s Guide.

To use the E8247C and E8257C/D Option H30 as an RF upconverter, refer to the following procedure:

CAUTION Maximum power into the rear panel RF upconverter input must not exceed

+20 dBm.

CAUTION Damage to upconverter mixer can result if the reverse power into the RF output port on the front panel occurs while in upconverter mode.

NOTE Refer to “Nominal Performance Characteristics” on page 3 for performance considerations.

Step 1. Remove the protective connector from the RF up converter Input on the rear panel.

Step 2. Set the RF source (customer supplied) to within the recommended power and frequency ranges.

Step 3. Connect the RF source to the H30 rear panel RF upconverter input using a suitable RF cable and adapters as necessary. It is recommended that the user set the power level of the E8247C or E8257C/D Option H30 to +10 dBm for best performance.

To activate upconverter mode from the front panel, press:

[FREQUENCY] > MORE, MORE > UPC ON/OFF (to activate mode)

Use the same front panel key to return the instrument to normal synthesizer mode.

The command UPC ON can be used to remotely select the upconverter mode. Use the command UPC OFF to return the instrument to normal synthesizer mode.

User’s and Service Guide Supplement 5

Performance Verification

The E8247C and E8257C/D Option H30 functionality can be verified using the following equipment and methods:

The E8247C and E8257C/D Option H30 must first meet standard product specifications with the exception that the power output may be degraded by up to 2.0 dBm. (Subtract 2.0 dBm from the Option 1E1 output power specification).

Refer to the Table 3 on page 6 for a list of equipment needed in addition to the E8247C and

E8257C/D Option H30 being tested:

Table 3 Equipment Required

SMA Female to Type-N Adapter 1250-1250

2.4 mm to 2.4 mm Female Adapter 11900B (or comparable)

Step 1. Set the RF Source power level to –10 dBm and frequency to 6 GHz.

Step 2. Connect the RF Source to the E8247C and E8257C/D Option H30 rear panel

RF Upconverter Input, using an RF cable and adapters.

Press: [FREQUENCY] > MORE, MORE > UPC ON/OFF (to activate mode)

An audible click should be heard from the E8247C and E8257C/D Option H30 as the transfer switch switches the upconverter mixer LO to the coupler output and the mixer RF out to the 1E1 step attenuator’s input.

Step 3. For instruments with Option 540 set the instrument to upconverter mode, set power level to +8 dBm and CW frequency to 40 GHz. Verify that a 46 GHz signal appears on the spectrum analyzer when in upconverter mode and is not present when in standard synthesizer mode. The level of the upconverter IF signal

(6 GHz + 40 GHz = 46 GHz) is nominally –28 dBm.

or

For instruments with Option 520 set the instrument to the upconverter mode, set power level to +8 dBm and CW frequency to 20 GHz. Verify on the spectrum analyzer that a 26 GHz signal appears when in upconverter mode and is not present when in standard synthesizer mode. The level of the upconverter IF signal (6 GHz + 20 GHz = 26 GHz) is nominally –28 dBm. Since this is a functional test only, measurement uncertainty is not taken into account. This verifies the switch path and mixer are functioning.

6 User’s and Service Guide Supplement

Troubleshooting

If there is no signal a problem has occurred. First check the equipment setup, verifying outputs on the sources and connections. Refer to Figure 4 through Figure 7 .

Verify that the E8247C and E8257C/D Option H30 Upconverter switch is working:

MID Board or Coaxial Switch

The following procedure will aid in determining whether the MID board (E8251-60089) or the coax switch (87222E) is functional.

Step 1. Select upconverter mode on/off, then listen for the coax switch to click. If it doesn’t click, check the ribbon cable connection to the switch (under switch/mixer assembly). Remove the switch end of the cable from the switch and verify: pin 1 for +32 Vdc, pin 7 for +5 Vdc or 0 Vdc pin 8 for +5.2 Vdc pin 9 for Ground

If the voltages are incorrect, verify the ribbon cable connection to the MID board assembly. The ribbon cable should be connected to J14.

Step 2. Cycle the upconverter mode on/off repeatedly while looking at pin 7 voltage. Pin 7 should toggle from +5 Vdc (upconverter mode on) to 0 Vdc (upconverter mode off).

If pin 7 voltage does not toggle, either the MID board (E8251-60089) or a configuration error is at fault. Consult with Agilent Service for repair. Refer to

“Contacting Agilent” on page 17 .

Step 3. If the voltages and control signal are present at the ribbon cable as verified in step

1, reconnect the ribbon cable to the coax switch and select upconverter mode and toggle it ON/OFF.

To verify the switch is not ultra quiet, measure the ports on the coax switch while toggling the upconverter mode.

(Coupler out) PORT 1 PORT 2 (mixer LO input)

(Atten. input) PORT 4 PORT 3 (mixer RF output)

Port 4 should connect to port 3 in upconverter On mode and port 1 in upconverter

Off mode. If it doesn’t, replace the 87222E coax switch.

User’s and Service Guide Supplement 7

Upconverter Mixer

The following procedure will aid in determining if the upconverter mixer is functional:

CAUTION Possible damage may occur if RF upconverter input levels exceed 20 dBm or if reverse power is applied at the RF output connector. First verify all cable configurations are correct before applying a signal to the instrument.

The RF step attenuator cable to the coax switch is functional if the instrument operates as a standard synthesizer.

The RF cable from the coupler output is also functional if the instrument operates as a standard synthesizer.

Step 1. Verify that the RF cable is connected from the connector labeled RF upconverter on the rear panel to the mixer’s IF input port. Verify the power at the connection to the mixer with RF Source applied.

Step 2. Verify the power through the cables to LO Input of the mixer (bottom connector). The power should be close to the power level coming from the

Coupler Output. Replace the cables if power insertion loss is excessive and damage is suspected. These cables have a K-type connector and a 2.92 mm adapter should be used for mating to connectors.

Step 3. If all of the cables have been verified and are functional, verify the mixer orientation with the markings on the outside of the mixer LO down, RF

Connector up and IF Connector facing rear of instrument. Replace the mixer and verify its functionality by following the verification procedure.
