Test Set are given below.
DRA ScorpionThe Scorpion Direct Receiver Access (DRA) version Vector Network
Measurement System (VNMS) (Figure 1-2) functions under control of
the software residing in the PC through GPIB commands. The software supports tuning and alignment operations by generating real
time graphic displays of the measured data on the PC screen.

LSB) components of the IMD products are measured and displayed

The DRA Scorpion includes the following capabilities:
q
Two internal, independent RF sources. Each source has a range
of –15 dBm to +10 dBm. A 0dB to 70dB step attenuator (10 dB /
step) is provided for each source resulting in a Power Output
range of –85 dBm to +10 dBm from each source.
q
Complete built-in capability for IMD measurements. A combiner
is provided in the Test Set.
q
Internal Transfer Switch enabling S22and Hot S22measure

ments. The reflectometer set-up is provided in the Test Set.
q
Direct access to each of the four receiver channels (two reference
channels and two test channels) for maximum flexibility in mea
suring forward and reverse S-parameters over a wide range of
AUT output power. The Test Set provides incident and reflected
signal separation.
MS4782X Test SetThe Series MS4782X Test Set contains a Wilkinson type combiner
that combines the two RF signals from Ports 1 and 3 (RF1 & RF3) of
the Scorpion. External preamplifiers can optionally be provided at the
MS4782X MM1-7
SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONGENERAL INFORMATION
combiner input to boost the input RF power to the amplifier-undertest (AUT). The combiner has power input rating of 30-Watts maxi
mum when terminated with a VSWR of 1.2:1. For an open or short at
the combiner output, the combiner input power rating is 0.5 Watts
maximum.
-
The output of the combiner is fed to a source selection switch that en
ables one of the following to be applied to the AUT:
The combined signal from the Scorpion sources.
q
A modulated signal from an optional external modulation synthe
q
sizer.
A provision for the insertion of an optional external pre-amplifier (af
ter the combiner and source selection switch) is also provided. Refer to
Chapter 7, “Preamplifier Operations,” for details.
The test set includes a bi-directional coupler at the input of the AUT
that separates the incident signal from the reflected signal. The power
rating of this bi-directional coupler is 100 watts average. The –30 dB
portion of the incident and reflected signals are applied to the Scorpion reference port a
ment. The S
measurement determined by the DRA Scorpion is sim-
11
and test port b1, respectively, for S11measure-
1
ply the ratio of the reflected signal to the incident signal.
The amplified output of the AUT is fed to a high power coupler in the
test set. The power rating of this coupler is also 100-watts average.
The –30 dB coupled arm of this coupler is routed to the test port b
of
2
the Scorpion througha6dBresistive divider and a 0-dB to 70-dB step
attenuator (10dB/step). A limiter is also provided in this path provide
added protection for the Scorpion reference channel .
-
-
The divider enables the connections of a power meter or Spectrum An
alyzer, when desired, to measure the AUT b
output.
2
The through arm of the 100-W coupler is routed to a high power
(100-Watt) termination through a circulator. In the MS4782A Test
Set, the circulator is internal and has a rating of 100 watts average.
This circulator has an isolation specification of 20-dB minimum. This
means that the AUT output power is attenuated by 20 dB (plus other
losses) before reaching the Scorpion port 2. Since the maximum
(no-damage) power level for this port is 27 dBm (0.5 watt), this estab
-
lishes the maximum AUT output power at 50 watts.
In the MS4782D Test Set, the circulator is external as shown in Fig
ure 1-2. In selecting an external circulator, the following criteria
should be used.

GENERAL INFORMATIONSYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Power rating: Should be no less than the power output of the am
q
plifier-under-test (AUT). It should be noted that a 100 watt ter
mination is provided in the Test Set for the termination port of
the external circulator.
Bandwidth: Should be sufficiently wide to cover the frequency
q
band of the AUT.
Isolation: Should be no less than (Po-27 dB), where Pois the
q
power output in dBm of the AUT. Thus for Po = 47 dBm (50
watts), a 20 dB isolation is required. For a P
greater than 47
o
dBm up to 50 dBm (100 watts), two circulators in series can be
used.
Where S
or Hot S22measurements are not required, power amplifiers
22
with up to 100 watts average output power can be tested with the
MS4782D Test Set without any circulator by connecting the through
arm of the output coupler directly to the 100 watt termination (Port
C1 connected to Port C2 on the rear. The unit is shipped from the fac
tory with this loop jumper.)
For S
measurements, the transfer switch located within the Scorpion
22
routes the source 1 output signal to the output port of the AUT via
Port 2 (RF2) of the Scorpion. A separate 100-watt coupler in the test
set applies the –30 dB portion of this incident signal to the Scorpion
reference port a
AUT output port is applied to the Scorpion test port b
. The –30 dB portion of the signal reflected from the
2
by means of the

AUT output coupler.

-
The PATS calibration is performed with the test set in place, at the
connectors where AUT will be connected directly. Therefore, the test
set components and cables are included in the calibration loop and
their effects are calibrated out, resulting in correct and accurate mea
surements of the AUT.
The software supplied by ANRITSU supports operator control of the
source selection switch and step attenuator in the test set. This control
is achieved through the parallel TTL control lines available at the
Scorpion rear panel “External I/O” connector. The GPIB commands
from the PC to the Scorpion set the TTL control lines to the desired
states.
Connectors and PortsOn the front panel of the Model MS4622/3C DRA Scorpion three Type
N (female) connectors are provided for Ports 1, 2 and 3.
Port 1 provides RF source 1 when the transfer switch is in the forward
position, and is terminated in 50 ohms to ground when the transfer
switch is in the reverse position.

SERVICE CENTERSGENERAL INFORMATION
Port 2 provides RF source 1 when the transfer switch is in the reverse
position, and is terminated in 50 ohms to ground when the transfer
switch is in the forward position.
Port 3 is allocated to RF source 2. Under independent control, port 3
provides RF source 2, or is terminated in 50 ohms to ground.

Replaceable Parts
2-1INTRODUCTIONThis chapter provides replaceable parts information for both MS4782X
models. The major replaceable Test Set assemblies and parts are
listed in Table 2-2 . The locations of these assemblies/parts are shown
in Figure 2-1.
2-2EXCHANGE ASSEMBLY
PROGRAM
ANRITSU maintains a module exchange program for selected subassem
blies. If a malfunction occurs in one of these subassemblies, the defective
item can be exchanged. Upon receiving your request, ANRITSU will ship
the exchange subassembly to you, typically within 24 hours. You then
have 45 days in which to return the defective item. All exchange subassemblies or RF assemblies are warranted for 90 days from the date of
shipment, or for the balance of the original equipment warranty, whichever is longer.
NOTE
When sending a failed assembly to the factory for exchange, a copy of the Service Log must always accompany
the failed assembly. This copy may be a printout, or a
saved disk copy. Due to the importance of the service log
information to the ANRITSU factory Service Engineers,
the exchange prices are only valid if the service log data is
included with the failed assembly.
Please have the exact model number and serial number of your unit
available when requesting this service, as the information about your
unit is filed according to the instrument’s model and serial number.
For more information about the program, contact your local sales rep
resentative or call ANRITSU Customer Service direct (refer to para
graph 2-4.
