Frequency Span Accuracy Troubleshooting

The Sweep Ramp is generated in the A12 Synthesizer assembly. The A12 Sweep output is then routed to the A13 Front End Driver Assembly where the sweep voltage is re-routed to the A18 Yig Tuned Oscillator (YTO). A failure of the Span Accuracy test would indicate that the sweep ramp is behaving in a non-linear fashion. If the sweep is non-linear, then the A12 Phase Lock loop may be defective.
