SERVICE MODEL 8559A holes, in the aluminum block housing to filter the first IF. A fourth cavity is used as the resonant circuit for the second LO, which operates at one of two fixed frequencies. After mixing with the first IF, the second LO produces the second IF at 321.4 MHz. The need for operating the second LO at two separate frequencies become[...]

MODEL 8559A SERVICE Regardless of which harmonic is used for mixing, image frequencies can create problems. Image frequencies occur when a signal not in the band being viewed mixes with the LO to produce a response. It is possible to be in the 1 - band and have a signal at 5 GHz produce a response at 2 GHz; the opposite can occur in the 1 + band. A[...]
