Wide Bandwidth Retrofit Kit

80 MHz Bandwidth Digitizer Retrofit Kit

40 MHz Bandwidth Digitizer Retrofit Kit

This retrofit kit provides all parts and instructions for installing Option 122, 80 MHz

Bandwidth Digitizer, or Option 140, 40 MHz Bandwidth Digitizer into your PSA Series

spectrum analyzer with the product number and serial number range listed above. The

kit installs an alternate 80 MHz or 40 MHz wide bandwidth IF path consisting of wide

band Analog IF and wide band Digital IF assemblies. Also, a wide bandwidth bandpass

filter and lowpass filter replaces the existing bandpass filter in the lowband (<3 GHz)

path.

NOTE 1. The installation of this kit requires that some performance testing be

performed in order to assure the new option is functioning properly.

This installation note includes a list of required performance tests.

Completing the list of required performance tests does not guarantee

the instrument meets all specifications.

NOTE 2. The instrument end user must determine whether they need a full

instrument calibration following the installation of the kit. If full

calibration is required, arrangements regarding the level of calibration

must be made between the end user and the calibration provider.

NOTE This option is licensed for one instrument model number/serial number

combination. The license key will only install on the designated

instrument.

Installation Procedure

Remove the Outer Case

CAUTION If the instrument is placed on its face during any of the following

procedures, be sure to use a soft surface or soft cloth to avoid damage to

the front panel, keys, or input connector.

1. Disconnect the instrument from ac power.

2. Refer to Figure 1. Remove the two handles on the sides of the instrument as shown.

Use the T-20 driver to loosen the screws that attach each handle (1). Remove the

handles.

3. Remove the four bottom feet (2). Lift up on the tabs on the feet, and slide the feet in

the direction indicated by the arrows.

4. Remove the four screws (3) that hold the rear feet (4) in place.

5. Pull the instrument cover (5) off toward the rear of the instrument.

Figure 1 Instrument Outer Case Removal

Installation Note E4440-90611 7

Installation Procedure

Remove the Top Brace

1. Refer to Figure 2. Use the T-10 driver to remove the top screws (3) (one screw is

under the security label), and the side screws (2) attaching the top brace (1) to the

deck.

2. Remove the top brace from the deck.

Figure 2 Top Brace Removal

8Installation Note E4440-90611

Installation Procedure

Install the Retrofit Kit

Changes to the Card Cage Area

1. Locate the A7 Digital IF assembly. It is in the forth card slot from the power supply.

Refer to Figure 3.

Figure 3 A7 Digital IF Assembly Location

2. If the existing A7 Digital IF assembly has large metal casting covers as shown in

Figure 3, this Option 322 or 340 retrofit kit is the wrong kit for your instrument. Stop

the installation.

This Option 322 or 340 retrofit kit is designed for newer instruments that already

contain the 2nd generation A7 Digital IF assembly, and other circuit assemblies

supported by this newer A7 Digital IF assembly. The 2nd generation A7 Digital IF

assembly has no large casting covers.

3. If the existing A7 Digital IF assembly resembles A7 in Figure 4, continue with the

installation.

4. Locate the A31 Wideband Analog IF assembly in the kit. This assembly is the one

with the MCX connectors visible on top of the board.

Installation Note E4440-90611 9

Installation Procedure

5. Refer to Figure 4. Install the A31 Wideband Analog IF assembly into the board slot

next to the A7 Digital IF. This slot is the third slot from the power supply.

6. Locate in the kit, and install the A32 Wideband Digital IF assembly next to the A31

Wideband IF assembly just installed.

Figure 4 Option 122 Assembly and Cable Locations

7. Remove all cables from the A10 3rd Converter assembly. Please note that all cables

are color-coded and the cable color is silk-screened on the 3rd Converter board.

Remove the 3rd Converter from the instrument.

8. Remove the 321.4 MHz IF Out SMA cable from the rear panel. Use the 8mm deep

socket or open end wrench. Avoid scratching the dress panel.

9. Locate in the kit, and install the replacement 321.4 MHz IF Out cable W66, that has

the 66 color bands. Install the washer between the nut and the rear panel and Torque

to 21 inch pounds.

10.Refer to Figure 5. Route the end of the W66, 321.4 MHz Out cable along the rear

frame and leave the SMB end near, but not attached to the SMB connector on the A31

Wideband Analog IF. Tuck the cable under the top brace mounting tab so the cable

will lay tightly against the rear frame.

10 Installation Note E4440-90611

Installation Procedure

Figure 5 Cable Routing

11.Reinstall the A10 3rd Converter assembly. Re-attach all cables being sure to follow

the color code on the board.

12.Locate the cable with the “60” color code in the kit. Connect the SMB end to the A10

3rd Converter J6 (60). Route the cable along the rear frame and tuck the cable under

the top brace mounting tab so the cable will lay tightly against the rear frame.

Continue routing the cable between the A31 Wideband Analog IF and A32 Wideband

Digital IF assemblies. This routing is critical. Connect the other end to the A31

Wideband Analog IF at the jack marked “60”.

13.Locate the cable with the “40” color code in the kit. Connect the SMB end to the A10

3rd Converter J4 (40). Route the cable along the rear frame. Continue routing the

cable between the A31 Wideband Analog IF and A32 Wideband Digital IF assemblies.

This routing is critical. Connect the other end of the cable to the A31 Wideband

Analog IF at the jack marked “40”.
