Power Meter Accuracy Test
This test is intended for power meters used in testing the E5061A/E5062A. The “Dynamic
Accuracy Test” requires the use of a power meter that has been calibrated to a higher
accuracy than the standard power meter.
Power meters with options G12 and H12 specify an improved instrument accuracy over a
limited power range. (These power meters do not contain unique hardware.) A power
meter may be returned to the factory to have one of these options added to an existing
power meter or to renew the calibration for one of these options.
This test procedure is an alternative to returning the power meter to the factory. When a
power meter passes this test, it is considered to be calibrated for the G12 or H12 option
even though it has not been returned to the factory.
Power Meters That Can Be Tested Using This Procedure
This procedure assume that the E4419B power meter is being tested.
NOTEIt is recommended that the revision number for the power meter “Main Firmware” be
Ax.03.00 or higher.

with a frequency counter. Since the E5061A/E5062A employs a PLL frequency
synthesizer for the signal source, the frequency accuracy test at these frequency points can
verify the accuracy for the entire frequency range.

2. Performance Test
Description
This test checks the level accuracy and frequency flatness of the E5061A/E5062A test port
output signal. The level accuracy is checked for an output power level setting of 0 dBm at
50 MHz using a power meter. The frequency flatness is tested by measuring the power
level at the following frequency points and calculating the differences of the power meter
readings from the level at 50 MHz.

4. Trace Noise Test
Description
This test checks the trace noise level for each test port of the E5061A/E5062A. The trace
noise level for S21/S12 is quantified by performing a "through" measurement 32 times at
300 kHz to 1.5 GHz (for E5061A) or 3 GHz (for E5062A) frequency range, with a cable
connected between two test ports. The trace noise level for S11(opt. 150/175) is quantified
by performing a "Short" measurement 32 times at 300 kHz to 1.5GHz or 3 GHz frequency
range, with a cable (terminated with “Short” device) connected to test port 1. Standard
deviation of the measured values at each frequency is calculated and, then translated into a
noise level expressed in dB rms / deg rms.

5. Crosstalk & System Dynamic Range Test
Description
The crosstalk test checks the crosstalks between test ports of the E5061A/E5062A. The
crosstalk is tested by performing short-ended "isolation" measurements with the test ports
terminated with Type-N "Short" devices. With segment sweep points for a specified
frequency range, a swept measurement with the short-ended test ports is repeated 16 times
and the measurement data is averaged. The worst crosstalk value in each test frequency
range is determined from the peak value of the average data.
The system dynamic range test checks the system dynamic range for the receiver ports of

Performance Tests
Individual Test Description
the E5061A/E5062A. The system dynamic range is tested by performing an "Isolation"
measurement 16 times with segment sweep points for specified frequency ranges (same as
the crosstalk test). The measurement data for each sweep frequency point is substracted
from the crosstalk data which is measured by the crosstalk test, and calculating the RMS
deviation value from the 16 measurement data for each sweep frequency point. The
maximum RMS deviation value in each frequency range is extracted to determine the
system dynamic range performance.

6. Dynamic Accuracy Test
Description
This test checks the dynamic accuracy of the E5061A/E5062A. The dynamic accuracy is
tested at 1.195 GHz for each receiver port using the Agilent Z5623A (with option H01)
Dynamic Accuracy Test Kit. The 1.195 GHz source signal of the E5061A/E5062A goes
through the Z5623A's first attenuator variable from 0 dB to 11 dB in 1 dB steps and second
attenuator variable up to 100 dB in 10 dB steps and is measured with the receiver port. The
test procedure checks the measured receiver-input power for each 5 dB increment in the
range from 10 dBm to 100 dBm. The ratios of the measured receiver-input powers to the
reference input level of -10 dBm are calculated and compared to the attenuation values of
the Z5623A. The 1.195 GHz signal flow is split with a power splitter present between the
two attenuators in the Z5623A and measured with an external power meter to calibrate the
attenuated power level.
NOTESince the dynamic accuracy does not have frequency dependence, this test is performed at
1.195 GHz only.

This test checks the directivity, source match, load match, transmission tracking, and
reflection tracking which are the key S-parameter measurement hardware characteristics.
These characteristics are tested using the Agilent 85032B or 85036B Calibration Kit at 300
kHz to 1.5 GHz (up to 3 GHz for the E5062A). After an enhanced response calibration
performed for each test port, the test software is executed to output the directivity, source
match transmission tracking, and reflection tracking data. The load match for a responce
port is measured by a stimulus (source) port performed a 1-port calibration.

To Troubleshoot the Instrument
This section describes basic procedural flow of troubleshooting when servicing the
E5061A/E5062A. The primary procedural tool in this section is the flowchart. The
flowchart contains entire troubleshooting path from a failure symptom to the isolation of
faulty assembly, and will direct you to the completion of repair in an ordinary manner
through the possible failure symptoms. Reference letters (Yes/No) on the flowcharts point
to procedural steps that briefly explain the troubleshooting method to be performed next.
Primary Trouble Isolation
The primary trouble isolation procedure can be performed without disassembling the
E5061A/E5062A.
Step 1. Turn the instrument power on
About a few minutes after the E5061A/E5062A is turned on, the measurement view is
displayed on the screen. The display on the screen should be similar to
“Measurement view ,” on page 99.
Figure 4-2 shows the trouble isolation flow chart.
Figure 4-9,
Step 2. Check the display
•If no display appears on the LCD after the E5061A/ E 5062A is turned on, go to “No
Display troubleshooting” on page 92.
•If the E5061 A/E5062A stops in booting process despite something being displayed on
the LCD, go to
•The power-on self test is performed once automatically after the E5061A/E5062A
measurement view is displayed. If the power-on self test fails, go to
Using Diagnostic Test” on page 100.
Step 3. Check the basic function
If the front-panel/keyboard/mouse controls, LCD display , data storage, remote interface or
another function (except for measurement part) does not work correctly, go to
Specific Troubleshooting” on page 106.
Step 4. Check the measurement function
If the instrument fails performance tests, go to “Performance test failure troubleshooting”
on page 118.
If the measurement function does not work correctly, perform the diagnostic test provided
in the E5061A/E5062A's service function. When the diagnostic test fails, go to
T est Failure Troubleshooting” on page 104.
“Booting Process Troubleshooting” on page 95.

“Diagnostic
NOTEThe diagnostic test includes some unique measurement function tests in addition to the
tests that are common to the power-on self test. Thus, it is necessary to perform the
diagnostic test even if the power-on self test passed.

Troubleshooting
No Display troubleshooting
Step 1. Check fan operation and DC monitor LED
If the rear panel fan (blower) doesn't run, a failure in A50 ATX power supply is assumed.
Remove the E5061A/E5062A outer cover and check if the following LEDs light:
•+3.3 V and +5 V dc mon itor LEDs on A21 PCI DSP card
NOTETo check all the outputs of the A50, measure the dc voltages at the output lead connectors
with a DMM. The dc output voltages and lead color information is provided in the module
cover label of the A50.
Step 2. Check system fan inside.
If the system fan on the chassis inside the E5061A/E5062A don't run, problem seems in the
A21 PCI DSP card or the flat cable between the A21 and the A22 front panel keyboard. In
this case, remove the E5061A/E5062A outer cover and make sure whether the fan run or
not.
If a beep and a power shutdown occur immediately after power is turned on, there is a
possibility that the fan won’t run. The power shutdown occurs the moment the system fan
stops by any anomaly. In this case, check the fan that doesn't run.
If the power shutdown occurs without a beep, the problem seems in the A21 or the A20
digital motherboard.
NOTEBefore replacing the board, check if the jumper setting on the A20 is correct as described in
“Configure the Motherboard” on page 120.
Step 3. Check LED of "Num Lock" key
Press "Num Lock" key on the keyboard. If the LED in the key doesn't light as shown in
Figure 4-4, a problem seems in the A20 digital motherboard.

Make sure the following before replacing the A20.
•Whether all the connections to the A20 are normal or not. Check if there is any
disconnection or connection working loose.
•Whet her th e jumper setting on the A20 is correct or not as described in “Configure the
Motherboard” on page 120.

•Whet her BIOS optio ns are correct or not as described in “To Confir m or Set the BIOS
Options” on page 121.
Step 4. Checking with the external monitor
Connect an external VGA monitor to the VIDEO output on the E5061A/E5062A rear
panel.
•If something is displayed on the external monitor, the problem is present around the
LCD. Also check the A21 and A22 because the ON/OFF setting of the LCD backlight
is controlled by the A21 through the A22.
•If nothing is displayed even on the external monitor, the problem seems in the A20
digital motherboard.
Step 5. Checking flat cable
Check a flat cable between the A20 and A22.
Step 6. Check around the backlight
Check A52 inverter board and a cable between the A52 and A22. Also check the cables
between the A51 LCD and A52. If the cables are normal, check the A51 LCD.

Troubleshooting Using Diagnostic Test
The Agilent E5061A/E5062A has an diagnostic test function to diagnose the analog
measurement section and internal dc power supply voltages. The diagnostic test makes it
possible to isolate a faulty board assembly. The following paragraphs describe the
procedure to perform the diagnostic test.
Power On Self Test
Power-on self-test always takes place once the E5061A/E5062A is turned on. When a
failure is detected, a message "Power on self test failed" is displayed. The content of the
power-on self-test is the same as a part of the diagnostic test program and includes the dc
power supply voltage, source PLL synthesizer and level controller (ALC) tests. When the
self-test failed, perform the diagnostic test to break down into the individual tests and
narrow down failure possibilities.
NOTEThe following procedure can be used to restart the power-on self test as required.
a. Press key.
b. Click Service Menu and, then, Test Menu in the softkeys.
c. Click Power On Test to restart the test. Wait until the power-on test ends.
d. The test result (OK or Failed) is displayed in the Power On Test key.
PLL unlock
When a PLL of the frequency synthesizers is unlocked, not the "Power on self test failed"
but "Phase lock loop unlocked" message is displayed. If it occurs, A1 Source board may be
faulty.
Contents of the diagnostic test
The diagnostic test contains 10 test groups shown in Table 4-1. Each test group can be
performed independently and verifies one of various operating characteristics of the analog
measurement section.
