You can use a sweep generator and scope for swept alignment of filters and duplexers. The manual for your sweeper should show the setup procedure. If you don't have the manual, try BAMA or other internet sites. You will need an RF detector probe or preferably a detector such as the HP 423A

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Tuning duplexers with sweep generator?

2007-04-01 Thread Eric Lemmon
Your informant is essentially correct. A sweep generator is an instrument that generates an AF or RF signal either linearly or logarithmically between a start and an end frequency. By itself, it is useless for tuning cavities. However, when its sweep voltage is coupled to an oscilloscope's

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Tuning duplexers with sweep generator?

Duplexers and cavities have been tuned for many years without a tracking generator or spectrum analyzer. It is a little easier with a tracking generator or even a spectrum analyzer and a signal generator. But you can do the job with a signal generator that you can keep on frequency and a receiver.

Cables between cavities include the length of the coupling loops in the cavities. They are measured from the bottom of one loop, the cable, to the bottom of the loop in the next cavity. You need to figure the velocity factor of the cable and the velocity factor of each loop separately as the cable
