Schematic for Agilent E5070B
« on: May 03, 2022, 04:36:48 pm »
Hi everyone!
I've got a couple of dead Agilent E5070B that I'd like to repair and I was hoping to get a schematic somewhere. Agilent's website does not have one.
Any idea where I can find one?

Thank you very much!

The power supplies in these units are commercial off the shelf (COTS) parts - not Keysight branded. Rather, they are Nipron PCSA-300P-X2S units

Typically, the CLIP packets for Keysight/Agilent gear don't include schematics for COTS parts, so if you suspect a dead power supply then I wouldn't bother chasing down a schematic. Rather, "thou shall check voltages"  :-DMM

The E5070B has a regular PC ATX power supply, so it's not a problem at all.  ;D
Internal tests are showing errors, coming from signal paths.

If you have an idea which module / signal path is defective then it should be possible to get it working by doing some reverse engineering -assuming that the defective chips aren't custom ones made by Agilent for internal use-. Judging from the service manual, there is an extensive test suite that should bring you very close to the location of the problem. With an RF generator and oscilloscope / spectrum analyser it is possible to follow the signal path and see where it goes wrong.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.
