3. THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION The Model 5U1000 RF amplifier consists of a single .01-1000 MHz RF amplifier assembly. The power supply section consists of an AC input filter, a circuit breaker, +5V, +15V, and -15V power supplies; a +30V power supply, voltage regulator circuity, an Operate/Control circuit, and an interface board.

Model 5U1000 3.2.1.3 A3 5W Amplifier Assembly (Schematic 10043496) The 5W Amplifier Assembly has two gain stages (U1 and Q1) that have a combined gain of approximately 37 dB. The output RF power is greater than 3.5W at the 1 dB compression point POWER SUPPLY Refer to Schematic Diagram 10044273.
Page 25
4. MAINTENANCE GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION The Model 5U1000 should require very little maintenance since it is a relatively simple instrument. It is built with etched circuit wiring and solid state devices which should ensure long, trouble free life. However, should trouble occur special care must be taken in servicing to avoid damage to the devices or the etched circuit board.
Page 26
Refer to Schematic Number 10044273. 1. Is the cooling fan running? 2. If the fan is not running, check to see that the 5U1000 is plugged into a live outlet. Check the line cord, is the line cord plugged into the 5U1000 completely? 3.
Page 27
The Model 5U1000’s typical gain response at 0 dBm input and -20 dBm input is shown in Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2. The actual gain may vary considerably from that shown in Figure 4-1 but should be ≥ 37.0 dBm.

Model 5U1000 SERVICING ETCHED CIRCUIT BOARDS When soldering leads, use a hot 40-watt or smaller iron. Apply heat sparingly to the leads, not to the printed wiring on the board. Before installing new parts, clean holes to receive new part without forcing. Have new leads tinned to receive solder quickly with a minimum of heat and without residue.
