circuitry prevents the output RF amplifier from saturating long»term. This AGC
circuitry has an adjustable threshold, settable from about 12 to 22 dBm. The
recommended setting is 20 dBm, This allows 7 dB headroom for instantaneous peak
handling. The highvoutput threshold may be increased by adjusting the pot
clockwise, or if pot adjustment cannot reach the highest desired AGC threshold,
the value of R36 (ink) may be decreased slightly or R34 (1.2K) increased
slightly from the design values.
2.0 ALIGNING THE DOWNLINK
Orient the PC Board so that 'CELLULAR SPECIALTIES" is readable and at the
lower right of the board. (The following instructions will ask for left (OFF)
or right (ON) positions of a section of switch Si.)
Connect the downlink input and output to a network analyzer (either scalar
or vector type, but make sure its receiver can handle signals up to 500
milliwatts, Otherwise add 10 dB fixed attenuation at its input), and set the
analyzer's sweep generator to output less than —55 dBm (to ensure that even at
max gain, the amplifier doesn't saturate}, center frequency to 860 MHz, span to
100 MHz. Apply power, be sure the two off~board voltage regulators are heat
sinked. Switch all sections of switch 51 to the OFF position (left) . Turn all
trimpots (R57, R17, R35, R23) fully clockwise and R47 fully counterclockwise.
If the downlink overload indicator LED comes on, reduce the downlink gain by
adjusting R35 counterclockwise just enough to extinguish the indicator LED.
Next, reduce the gain down to 52 dB across the center portion of the band, by
adjusting R35 counterclockwise. Then continue turning R35 to reduce the gain
towards 30 dB. If while doing this the gain decreases too abruptly, fix the
problem by adjusting the "attenuator linearity adjustment” (R47) clockwise until
the right balance of high amplifier gain and smoothness of and range of
adjustment of R35 is achieved. If you turn R47 too far clockwise, you might
constrain the maximum gain achievable and reduce the adjustment range of gain.
Keep adjusting R35 and R47 for the right balance. After you have set the
linearity adjustment, immobilize it with a drop of nail polish or equivalent.
when you have set the gain to 52 dB, inunobilize that pot also. Make sure that
the overload indicator LED is not lighted.
Next, verify that the step attenuator is functioning properly by switching
in 4, then B, then 16 dB of attenuation using 51. The downlink gain should
follow the amount of reduction chosen when switching Si sections on or off.
Finally, switch all attenuation OFF, and leave AGC OFF.
3 .0 ALIGNING THE UPLINK
Alignment is similar to the downlink, except for the setting of the AGC
Threshold control. The AGC PEDESTAL adjustment (R57) functions to set the upper
bound of gain in the absence of AGC. The AGC THRESHOLD control (R23) affects
the gain only when the AGC ON switch is set to ON. when that Switch is OFF, the
AGC THRESHOLD pot sets the output RF power above which the uplink oveload LED
lights.
Disconnect the network analyzer from the downlink and connect it to the
uplink (generator to Jl, analyzer receiver to J2].
Set the analyzer for 815 MHz center frequency and 100 MHz span. Use a -65 dBm
generator level from the analyzer.

Make sure the AGC threshold Control is maximum clockwise and set AGC
LINEARITY (R17) fully counterclockwise. If the uplink overload indicator LED
comes on, reduce the uplink gain by adjusting R57 counterclockwise just enough
to extinguish the indicator LED. Next, reduce the gain down to 52 dB across the
center portion of the band, by adjusting R57 counterclockwise. Then continue
turning R57 to reduce the gain towards 30 dB. If while doing this the gain
decreases too abruptly, fix the problem by adjusting the "attenuator linearity
adjustment" (R17) clockwise until the right balance of high amplifier gain and
smoothness of adjustment and desired adjustment range of R57 is achieved. If
you turn R17 too far clockwise, you might constrain the maximum gain achievable
or shrink the adjustment range of 1157 too much. Keep adjusting R57 and R17 for
the right balance. After you have set the linearity adjustment, immobilize it
with a drop of nail polish or equivalent. when you have set the gain back to 52
dB, immobilize that pot (R57) also. Make sure that the overload indicator LED
is not lighted. Next, increase the analyzer's RF generator output level by 30
dB to -35 dBm and reduce sweep span to zero (Lei, generator mode set to Cw) .
verify that the AGC threshold trimpot (R23) can be adjusted over a wide enough
range to either extinguish or to light the uplink overload LED. Then increase
generator level to 727 der Switch AGC ON (use 51) and then measure the RF
output power level coming from the uplink at J2, Adjust R23 for +20 dBm. Then
turn R23 more clockwise to verify that +22 dBm can be achieved. If you turn
this pot all the way clockwise and you fall short by l to 6 dB, change the value
of fixed resistor R34 to 1.8K, If you still can't get enough output power,
there is a fault in the amplifier that needs to be repaired,
Next, verify that the step attenuator is functioning properly be switching
in 4, then B, then 15 dB of attenuation using 31. The uplink gain should follow
the amount of reduction chosen when switching 51 sections on or off. Finally,
switch all attenuation OFF, and leave AGC OFF.
4. 0 VERIFY CORRECT BANDWIDTHS
Pen plot the frequency response of both uplink and downlink.
You must stay small-signal, i.e., —65 dBm into either the uplink or downlink
(being careful not to trigger the AGC action in the uplink, keep Aoc DN/OFF to
OFF via switch 51 (top left). These penplots must conform to the superposition
of the individual filter responses within +/v 2515. And they should also conform
to factory tolerance window for frequency response at selected points of
frequency.
