Test Equipment

a. Connect the unit in a test set-up for response and obtain a response trace on the oscilloscope.

b. Due to the high gain of the ZTA-45, reduce the input signal and insure that the unit is not in compression.

c. Set controls to full gain. Terminate the VHF combiner and splitter with 75 ohms.

d. Adjust collector matching coils L205, 208, 213, 215, 217 and 219 for maximum gain at the higher

e. Adjust shunt coils L203, 204, 224, 225 for maximum gain at 470 MHz.

f. Adjust shunt coils, L214, 216, 218 and 220 for best flatness.

VHF Alignment

a. For the Low Band adjust coils L11, L12 and L13, for response and input return loss throughout the 0-18 dB

b. For the High Band adjust coils L1, L2 and L3, for response and input return loss throughout the 0-18 dB gain

c. For the output match adjust coils L20, L19, L22, L25, L26 and L27; also L226 and L301 on the UHF
