This manual may contain references to HP or Hewlett-Packard. Please note that
Hewlett-Packard's former test and measurement, semiconductor products and chemical
analysis businesses are now part of Agilent Technologies.
No changes have been made to this manual, with the exception of correcting the odd
spelling and grammatical errors. In some places original photographs may be replaced
or augmented with modern digital photographs. (it's weird looking at an old BW HP
manual and seeing a color photograph... still gets me)
All pages are scan at 600 DPI and in some cases (schematics) scaled down to fit
8½x11 page. If you wish to print on 11x17 or larger just print the page and scale to fit.
This manual is reproduced from scans of an original document, which is then converted
using my own custom designed OCR software, and then edited in Microsoft
This means that what you see here is not a scan of a scan/copy with text overlays.
OCR errors may exist and as such the user of this document should take care and use
common sense when referencing this documentation.

You may include this documentation with the equipment/hardware on which it is used
for the purposes of selling the equipment/hardware. If you advertise that a copy of this
documentation is included in the sale, you must state that is for "Free".
Meaning if you want to gratuitously toss in a copy of the manual on an eBay sale, it's ok
with me as long as you state it's for free. No you can't sell a digital archive of manuals
and say it includes a free copy of this documentation. You must give it away with
equipment.
I think you get the spirit of the copyright; it takes a lot of hours to scan and replicate a
manual. I just want this used in the spirit in which is it given.
Agilent if you have questions or wish to include this in your archive, please email me.

Page 50: Main Oscillator Theory Of Operation
Model 10811A/B 8-13. MAIN OSCILLATOR THEORY OF OPERATION 8-14. The 10811A/B oscillator is a Colpitts-type crystal oscillator which uses the crystal as the series inductor. Figure 8-3A shows the basic block diagram of a Colpitts-type oscillator. Figure 8-3B shows the basic equivalent components of the oscillator. -

C1 tuning capacitor is available from the top of the oscillator outer housing. The change in reactance of C1 allows the oscillator's frequency to be varied over a 20 Hz (2 X 10 ) range. -
Page 52: Automatic Gain Control (Agc)
Model 10811A/B Figure 8-6. EFC 8-20. AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC) 8-21. The output for the AGC (and output amplifiers, discussed later) is taken across capacitor C10, and is applied to Q3. Since C10 is effectively in series with the crystal, the current passing through the crystal also passes through C10. -
Page 53: Rf Output Impedance Matching And Output Buffer
Model 10811A/B 8-23. RF OUTPUT IMPEDANCE MATCHING AND OUTPUT BUFFER 8-24. The signal for the output amplifiers is taken from the same point as the AGC (across C10). The voltage is buffered by Q5 which is an impedance matching stage. Resistors R14 and R15 set the dc bias level while C14 allows the ac to bypass R14. -
Page 54: Oven Heater And Controller Theory
3. Heaters 8-30. In the 10811A/B oven, a thermistor (RT1) is secured with epoxy into a hole in the oven mass. U3 is the amplifier and Q7 (not shown) and Q8 are the heaters. It is the thermistor that senses the oven mass temperature. -
Page 55: Precision Voltage Reference
Model 10811A/B Figure 8-10. Oven Control Circuits 8-32. The purpose of R17 is mainly to reduce the power dissipated in the thermistor which causes it to self-heat above the oven operating temperature. 8-33. R38 and R39 in parallel provide a means of sensing the heater current, rH. During warm-up, the voltage across them, VH, is used in the current limit circuit (described later). -
Page 56: Heater Transistor Balance
Model 10811A/B Figure 8-11. Turn-on Current Limit Circuit 8-39. HEATER TRANSISTOR BALANCE 8-40. Because heater transistors Q7 and Q8 are not equally spaced from the crystal, it is necessary to offset the power dissipation between the two transistors. Figure 8-12 shows a simplified schematic of this circuit. -
Page 57: Repair And Troubleshooting
8-42. Inspection 8-43. The 10811A/B should be inspected for indications of mechanical and electrical defects. Electronic components that show signs of overheating, leakage, frayed insulation, and other signs of deterioration should be checked and a thorough investigation of the associated circuitry should be made to verify proper operation. -
Page 58: Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting is arranged to allow the technician to quickly find the defective component(s) without unnecessary removal of components. 8-50. TROUBLESHOOTING 8-51. Failures in the 10811A/B can be divided into two sections: 1. Failure of the oscillator's circuits. 2. Failure in the oven controller circuits. 8-52. -

8-61. SPECIAL TEST CONNECTOR FOR 10811A 8-62. The following paragraphs describe a special 15-pin connector for use in troubleshooting, alignment and testing of the 10811A. The connector provides the following (See 8-13): Figure Two separate input leads for the oscillator circuits power and the oven heaters and controller circuits. -

Page 63: Oven Controller Troubleshooting
Model 10811A/B d. Oven heater transistors Q7 and Q8: The replacement transistors for Q7 and Q8 have formed leads for easy installation (Part Number 10811-80001). Holding screws for Q7 and Q8 must also be torqued to a specific force of 44 newton-metres (5 in.-Ibs.). There are several available Pozidriv torquing screwdrivers. -
Page 64: Normal Operation
Model 10811A/B 8-74. Normal Operation 8-75. When the oven is tested under normal conditions (-25°C ambient temperature) it will initially draw 380 to 490 mA. After 5 to 10 minutes the oven current will start to drop. Over the next 10 to 15 minutes the oven current will fall to the 60 to 150 mA range where it will stabilize. -

Q5 (base to collector) is approximately 2 with a 50-ohm load on the output. The output of transformer T1 is approximately 1.5V p-p. All10 MHz signals found in the 10811A/B will be undistorted sine waves unless otherwise noted in Table 8-4 (next to the schematic diagram). -

8-4, Oscillator Normal Voltages). If this voltage appears normal, the Table problem may be a defective quartz crystal (Y1). To verify this possibility, obtain a 10 µH (HP Part No. 9100-2265) and a 12 µH inductor (9100-2242). Use the HP numbered parts as these have been tested in the circuit. - Page 68 TIME DOMAIN STABILITY (SHORT-TERM STABILITY) OUT OF SPECIFICATION. Mea- surement of time domain stability is somewhat difficult and exacting. If the 10811A/B fails this test, be sure no signal sources other than the test reference are operating near the measurement system, as these can cause interference with the measurement.
