Rohde & Schwarz SMIQ03B with Error 110 Output unleveled; IQMOD: ALC failure
(1/12) > >>

Hello,
I have this generator with the error in the subject (no photos yet).
It is cosmetically like new, very heavy, built like a tank, but very high hour count: 88640h (10 years) and attenuator toggle count more that 10M!
The RF output is very distorted (seems like clipped and wrong amplitude).
I will soon try to find the fault with the help of the 4 Service Manuals found on KO4BB's Manuals Repository http://www.ko4bb.com/manuals/index.php?dir=Rohde_Schwarz
Unfortunately, these manuals are missing the schematics.
Does anyone have them or know where I could find them ?
Thanks,
Michel.

I have not seen any CLIPS for this unit in the public domain.  Have you try running the calibration routines in volume 1 of the service manual.  They will should provide error messages if they fail.  However you will need to first the first level password.  There are 3 levels of password protection for the SMIQ models.  They are as follows:
PASSWORDS
LEVEL 1      123456
LEVEL 2      250751
LEVEL 3      120155

There are also digital test points available at the user interface.

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I have tried the test points of IQMOD, the only one to be out of range is 2122 (Control voltage burst element / Power Ramp).
Maybe related to back panel input "POW RAMP" ?
I will try to follow the path from this input into the IQ Modulator...
Michel.

Michel,

There is also a troubleshooting write up on an SMIQ06.  It's in German but you can probably pick and paste into google translate.

Thanks rastro, but this note applies to the 6GHz option board, which I don't have.
I will continue my debug but I'm afraid it will not be very easy: double sided board, no silkscreen, no schematic except the block layout on the cover and a short description in the Service Manual...
