(1/1)
yuchungchen:
Hello,
I got a problem of "phase lock loop unlocked in e5071c.
Which board may be broken?
Anybody can help me. Thanks

It's not going to be solvable with basic information or explanation over text, but a starting point would be to thoroughly test the symptoms it shows.  Does it show with partial spans?  Lower RBWs?  If you feed in a signal does it appear at the right frequency?  Right level?  With extra harmonics?  With normal looking sidebands?

I'd take a look at the manual for the block diagram of the unit, any info on what board is what internally, and if they have a more detailed description of the error message you're getting.  Also worth running a more comprehensive self test if one is available - I know the A models had a vba script that would give you some additional board level test info.

A unlocked PLL could be an issue with one of its parts, the VCO, the power supply, the main timebase, any of the amplifiers in that chain, a frequency doubler, a cable - any number of things.  More detailed testing may start to point you in a clearer direction, and then it's time to crack it open and start measuring.
