Tuning
There are only three tuning elements to be acted upon: FL3, L6 and L10. Their loca-
tion on the PCB (all upper side) is depicted in the schematic below:
3.3.2. Test Equipment Settings
Before proceeding, certain controls on the test equipment must be set; some of the
settings depend of the operating band (high or low) of the device under test (DUT).
In addition, it is highly recommended that the ambient temperature during trim-
ming is 24° C (±2°C).
3.3.2.1. Network Analyzer (HP 8711)
The settings for the Network Analyzer are as follows:
• Center frequency: 450 MHz
• Span: 100 MHz
• Display: 5.0 dB/div
• Power: -20 dBm
• Markers:
— low band Mkr1 – 440 MHz, Mkr2 – 430 MHz, Mkr3 – 450 MHz;
— high band Mkr1 – 460 MHz, Mkr2 – 450 MHz, Mkr3 – 470 MHz.
Note: A good idea is to store the instrument state for the two settings, low band and high band.
3.3.2.2. Service Monitor (Rohde & Schwarz CMS50)
The setting for the receiver section check are as follows (RX-TEST):
• SET RF: 432000000 Hz (Low band) / 450000000 Hz (High Band);
• RF LEV: 5 µV (see also note below);
• SINAD;
• AF1: 2kHz;
• MOD1: 3.5 kHz;
• SCOPE MODE;
• BEST RANGE.
