Procedure:
l. With the equipment connected as shown in Fig.
3-5, set the signal-generator controls as follows:
Frequency . . Specified frequency of
ceramic filter.
See Tabte 3- l.
Modulation .. . Fm,400Hz,75kHz
deviation ( 100%)
Output level . . 1,000rrV (60 dB)
2. Set the tuner switches as f«rllows:
FUNCTION switch F-M
MODEswitch.. ... MONO
3. Adjust the signal generator frequency slightly to
obtain a ntaximum output, then change the
signal generator modulation to a-m, 4OOHz 3Wo.
4. If the discriminator transformer IFT2OI is not
aligned correctly, 400 Hz ripple will be obseryed
as shown in Fig. 3-6. I
5. Turn the secondary side core of discriminator
transformer IFT20l (see Fig. 3- I 0) to obtain
a minimum indication on the oscilloscope with an
alignment tool as shown in Fig. 3-6.
Fig. 3-6. Fm discriminator alignment
output response
Note: Turn the core carefully and slowly
because the output appearing on the
oscilloscope jumps up and down when
turning the core. This might cause difÍï-
culty in determining the point of mini.
mum output. Also, at both extreme
positions of the top coÍe, decreased out-
put will be observed. The real null point
should be obtained in the middle of the
core thread length, and mar<imum output
appeaÍs at each side of the true null
point.
6. Change the signal generator modulation to fm,
400 Hz, I5 kHz deviation ( 100%).
7 . Turn the core of fm IFTI 0l and the primary side
core of discriminator transformer IFT201 (see
Fig. 3-10) to obtain the maximum output.
3.2. FM FREOUENCY COVERAGE AND
TRACKING ALIGNMENT
Note: Before startirrg this alignment, the fm i-f
and discriminator alignment should be
performed.
Test Equipment Required
l. Fm signal generator
2. Ac VTVM
3. Oscilloscope
4. Alignment tools
Preparation:
l. Connect the equipment as shown in Fig. 3-'l .
2. Set the tuner switches as follows:
FUNCTION switch FM
MODEswitch......MONO
Signal Generator Method
Follow the procedures given in Table 3-2 when
performing this alignment with an fm signal generator.
Be sure that the dial is mechanically calibrated.
Off-theAir Signal Method
F'requency coverage and tracking alignment can
also be performed by utilizing off-the-air local fm
signals. However, before performing the alignment,
be sure that the dial is mechanically calibrated.
