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.

a signal feeder. The signal feeder consists of a coaxial cable (e.g. SUCOFLEX) less than 1 m length and two 3 dB
attenuators attached to each end of the cable.
(2) At the calibration of power output, connect the end of the feeder to power sensor.
Note that 1) the coaxial cable and 3 dB attenuators must be with a frequency range over the spectrum analyzer’s range,
2) use a torque wrench for tightening each connection, 3) do not disconnect the connections of the 6769B and the
signal feeder after the power calibration in order to keep the measured data valid.
Procedure :
Note that the spectrum analyzer (DUT) and the measuring instruments must be warmed up at least for an hour, before the
compensation process.
(1) Run the Frequency Response Compensation program, and then confirm that 6769B output is set to 10 MHz (CW).
(2) After 5 minutes waiting or more, input the serial number of the spectrum analyzer to the personal computer.
(3) Execute “DUT Check” by pushing the button on the PC display.
(4) After internal calibration of the spectrum analyzer, confirm that the spectrum analyzer’s “Cal Status” is all zero.
(5) Carry out zero adjustment and sensor sensitivity adjustment on the power meter, and then connect the MA4601A
power sensor to the end of the cable from MG3633A OUTPUT.
(6) Set MG3633A output to 625 kHz (CW), and adjust the output level so that power meter reading becomes 0 dBm at the
end of the cable, and then connect this end to the spectrum analyzer RF Input.
(7) After “Preset All”, set the spectrum analyzer to :
Center frequency, 625 kHz
Span, 50 kHz
RBW, 10 kHz
VBW, 1 kHz
Atten, 10 dB
Reference Level, 0 dBm
(8) On the spectrum analyzer’s display, read the marker level of 625 kHz signal, and input the reading to “625 kHz CAL
OSC Level” space on the PC display. For example: when marker reading is 0.30 dBm, input “0.30” to the space.

(9) Measure the 6769B power output with “6769B output calibration” program.
1) Connect the 6769B RF OUTPUT to the MA4601A (for MS2665C) or MA2444A (for MS2667/68C) through a
signal feeder. The signal feeder consists of a coaxial cable (e.g. SUCOFLEX) less than 1 m length and two 3 dB
attenuators attached to each end of the cable. Note : Use a torque wrench for tightening each connection.
2) Run the “6769B output calibration” program by pushing the button on the PC display.
3) Change the power sensor for the MA4705A according to PC message. (for MS2665C only)
4) Before going to next step, leave the 6769B at least for 5 minutes after the program stopping.
Note that 1) The connections of the 6769B and the signal feeder must not be disconnected after the measurement
in order to keep the measured data valid, 2) this measurement is needed once a day, as long as the 6769B is power
on.
(10) Connect the end of the signal feeder to the spectrum analyzer RF Input.
(11) Run “Frequency Response Measurement” program with the button on the PC display.
(12) Write frequency response compensation data into the spectrum analyzer’s memory with the button on the PC display.

Section 3 MS2667C
3.1 Overall Circuit description
MS2667C is a superheterodyne system scanning-type spectrum analyzer.
This section describes overall circuit of the MS2667C spectrum analyzer with its block diagram.
An RF input signal after passing through an RF switch and variable RF ATTN in Switched Attenuator is switched by
Diplexing Bandswitch 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 110.690 MHz 2nd IF signal.
For an RF input frequency of 3.1 GHz to 30 GHz (band 1 to 5), the signal goes to YTF (YIG tuned filter), and then to 30
GHz H.MIXER. In 30 GHz 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 the 110.690 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-SP1, 2 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-SP1, 2 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-SP1, 2 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.
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
Switched Attenuator.

3.1 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 10.690 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 Converter (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.
