Assembly Level Service Guide vii

In This Guide

This guide provides assembly-level service information for the

Agilent 53147A, 53148A, and 53149A.

How to Use This Guide

Repair Strategy

This service guide is designed to isolate failures to the assembly-level only.

The Agilent 53147A/148A/149A instruments can be returned to Agilent for

all service work, including troubleshooting, and verifying specifications.

Contact your nearest Agilent Sales and Service Office for more details.

NOTE ISD (Instrument Service Division) Emergency Response or Express

Calibration Service is available for Agilent customers in the USA.

If downtime is critical, you can receive your repaired instrument via

overnight shipment. Call 800-403-0801, and ask for Emergency Response

or Express Calibration Service. When your instrument is repaired, it is

returned via overnight shipment at no extra charge.

If you decide to service the instrument yourself, use the troubleshooting

procedures in Chapter 2 (Service) and the disassembly and reassembly

procedures in Chapter 3 (Replacing Assemblies). Then use the calibration

instructions in Chapter 2 to calibrate the instrument for peak-

performance operation, and finally, perform all of the performance tests in

Chapter 1 to verify that the instrument is operating to the specifications.

Instrument Identification

The instrument is identified by the serial number on the rear panel.

Agilent uses a two-part serial number with the first part (prefix)

identifying a series of instruments and the second part (suffix) identifying

a particular instrument within a series. Agilent-assigned alpha characters

before the suffix identify the country in which the instrument was

manufactured.

Instruments Covered by this Guide

This guide applies directly to Agilent 53147A, 53148A, and 53149A

instruments that have the same serial number prefix(es) shown on the

title page. If the serial number prefix of your instrument differs from that

listed on the title page of this guide, there may be differences between this

guide and your instrument.

Instruments having a higher serial prefix are covered (when required) by

one or more manual-change sheets included with this guide. If a required

change sheet is missing, contact your nearest Agilent Sales Office listed at

the back of this guide.

Assembly-Level Service Guide Organization

This Assembly-Level Service Guide consists of a table of contents,

a preface, six chapters, and an index. The page headers identify the

Description of the Microwave Frequency

Counter/Power Meter/DVM

The Agilent 53147A, 53148A, and 53149A are capable of measuring

frequencies from 10 Hz to 125 MHz on Channel 1 and from 50 MHz to

20 GHz (53147A), 26.5 GHz (53148A), and 46 GHz (53149A) on Channel 2.

These instruments are also capable of measuring power (the power and

frequency ranges for power measurement are dependent on the power-

sensor model used) and DC voltages up to ±50 VDC. All three instruments

have a maximum frequency resolution of 1 Hz.

The Agilent 53147A, 53148A, and 53149A provide GPIB and RS-232 serial

interfaces and are suitable for field, bench-top, and ATE operation.

The basic measurement functions of the Agilent 53147A/148A/149A

include Frequency, Relative Frequency, Frequency Offset, and Power

(including Power Offset and Relative Power). All of these features are

accessible from the front panel and over the GPIB and RS-232 interfaces.

The Agilent 53147A/148A/149A includes the following additional

measurement functions and features that are designed specifically for

manufacturing and service applications:

•1, 2, 5, and 10 MHz external reference capability

•Optional high-stability oven oscillator for high-accuracy needs and

lengthened calibration cycles

•Frequency and power offset capabilities for relative measurements

•SCPI programming capability

•Battery and dc input option for operation in locations where ac

power is unavailable

•Optional soft carrying case for safe transportation and mobile use

Programmable control is performed via a GPIB or an RS-232 serial

interface. The GPIB and RS-232C ports are standard for the Agilent

53147A, 53148A, and 53149A.
