We spent most of yesterday looking at ant 18. The levels were checked
and attenuators were added to the outputs of K-band; Q-band required no
attenuators. Switched power was present (on the Baseband overlay) but
not very stable. When we looked at the T-5, switched power was only
apparent with many second averaging on the o'scope. The dominant signal
was a ~330 Hz oscillation that fluctuated in amplitude.
We checked the U/X converter for oscillating regulators, amps, etc. and
found nothing. The IF outputs from the U/X and the T304 outputs looked
good with the S/A. I have some more tests to run today, but it seems
that the likely culprit is still the U/X converter or something related
as we do not see this problem in L or X-band.
