Please specify the part numbers shown in the parts list when making inquiries or when ordering
parts. There may be a difference between the names of parts used in this manual and the parts
actually used in the equipment or supplied for repair. This is because equivalent parts with the
same functions, performance and reliability as the parts specified in the circuit diagrams and
parts list have been used or supplied. Since the parts are equivalent, they have absolutely no
adverse effect on the equipment specified functions, performance or reliability.

2.1 Overall Circuit description
MS2665C is a superheterodyne system scanning-type spectrum analyzer.
This section describes overall circuit of the MS2665C spectrum analyzer with its block diagram.
An RF input signal after passing through an RF switch and variable RF ATTN in 21 GHz S-ATT is switched by PIN diode
switch in 21 GHz YTF/SW to two different signal routes depending on input RF frequency.
For an RF input frequency of 9 kHz to 3.1 GHz (termed as band 0), the signal passes through 3.2 GHz LPF and then to 1st
mixer (1st MIX), where it is mixed with 1st local signal (4.1 GHz to 7.2 GHz) to generate 4110.69 MHz 1st IF signal.
The 1st IF signal is then passed through an amplifier and image rejection filters, and fed to 2nd mixer (2nd MIX), where it
is mixed with 4 GHz 2nd local signal to generate 110.69 MHz 2nd IF signal.
For an RF input frequency of 3.1 GHz to 21.2 GHz (band 1 to 3), the signal goes to YTF (YIG tuned filter) in 21 GHz YTF/
SW, and then to H. MIXER. In H. MIXER, the RF signal gets mixed with the 1st local signal (3.6 GHz to 7.5 GHz) to
generate 689.31 MHz 1st IF signal.
This 1st IF signal is passed through a series of amplifiers and image rejection filters before further mixing with 800 MHz
2nd local signal to convert the signal to 110.69 MHz 2nd IF signal.
Depending on the active band of RF input, one of the two above 2nd IF signal is sent to IF section for further processing.
The 1st local signal generated at YTO (YIG tuned oscillator) is frequency-swept by scan signal from SCAN/AD section
after phase-lock to reference signal (its frequency is 11 MHz to 14 MHz with the resolution of 1 Hz steps) generated on
LOCAL-A section at the center frequency of its sweeping range, in normal sweep condition.
The YTO output is passed through an amplifier, and then divided into three paths with directional couplers. One of divided
signal is fed to sampler circuit and the other are fed to the above mixers to frequency-convert.
In the sampler circuit, sampling signal (its frequency is 94 MHz to 106 MHz with the resolution of 1 MHz steps) generated
on LOCAL-A section is frequency-multiplied, and then mixed with the YTO output to generate sampler IF signal with a
frequency of 11 MHz to 14 MHz.
The sampler IF signal is compared with the reference signal of 11 MHz to 14 MHz at PFD.
The reference signal frequency (fREF) and the sampling signal frequency (fs) are controlled by CPU section according to
the measuring frequency of the instrument, and set so that the center frequency of 1st local signal is fs * N ± fREF (, where
N is an integer).
Meanwhile, the scan signal strength that is equivalent to frequency sweep width is controlled from LOCAL-A section.
The 2nd local signals of 4 GHz and 800 MHz are also phase-locked to 100 MHz VCXO signal, of which the frequency is
also phase-locked to 10 MHz crystal oscillator (option 01).
In the instrument, a high accuracy 625 kHz signal is present for level accuracy calibration. This signal is generated by
frequency-dividing the 10 MHz reference signal, and its power level is varied with 1 dB steps by CAL ATT.
Internal calibration operation being carried out, this calibrating signal is fed to the RF signal-route through the switch in 21
GHz S-ATT.

2.1 Overall Circuit description
At the IF section the incoming signal is divided into two paths. The main route leads to image rejection filters while the
second, a highly attenuated feeler path signal is used for generation of wide band trigger signal in TRIG/GATE section (
option 06) situated on OPTION BASE board.
The main signal after passing through an image rejection filter is beat down to a 10.69 MHz signal using a 100 MHz
reference signal. This signal is then sent to various Resolution Band Width (RBW) setting circuits.
For RBW setting of 30 Hz to 200 Hz the signal is frequency converted to 450 kHz using 10.24 MHz signal. After passing
through the RBW circuits (Crystal filter circuits) the signal is up converted back to 10.69 MHz signal and passed through
wider RBW setting circuits.
For RBW setting of 300 Hz to 3 MHz the signal is sent directly to wide RBW setting circuits without any frequency
modifications.
The RBW processed signal is passed onto SCAN/AD section, where it passes through logarithmic amplifiers and then to a
linear detector. This linear detected signal is passed through smoothing filters called Video Band Width Filters (VBW).
This smoothed signal is then passed through Positive or Negative peak detection circuits and the output is converted to
digital signal by a Analog to Digital Convertor (ADC) circuit.
The results are then written (in digital word format) to a Dual Port RAM through one of the ports.
The CPU of the instrument on CPU section reads from the other port of Dual Port RAM and processes the data before
displaying on the LCD screen. The CPU also controls various interface functions such as reading the Key Inputs or remote
control commands received, and various outputs such as prints or plots of various data. The CPU also generates various
commands required for controlling or setting of all hardware units inside the instrument.
FRONT BOARD section generates the KEY and rotary-knob encoder data, drives the LEDs, detects the power switch
(PWR SW) setting, controls the power-supply On/Stby setting, and supplies power for the LCD backlight, etc.
