Theory of Operation
Source Low Band Operation
Figure 12-4 Low Band Operation of the Source
The full low band is produced in two sub sweeps, to allow addition IF filtering below
3 MHz. At the transition between subsweeps, the source is pretuned and then relocks.
Table 12-2 lists the low band subsweep frequencies at the fractional-N VCO and the RF
output.

Fractional-N (MHz) 1st IF (MHz) Source Output
(MHz)
40.3 to 43.3 0.3 to 3.3 0.3 to 3.3
43.3 to 56.0 3.3 to 16.0 3.3 to 16.0
