TNP #40 - Stanford Research FS735 Dual Distribution Amplifier Teardown, Repair & Experiments
In this episode Shahriar repairs a fault SRS FS735 dual distribution amplifier. These instruments provide two independent 7-channel 10MHz distribution modules with exceptional signal purity and isolation. The instrument does not properly powers on which points to a potential problem with the internal power supply.
The unit has two identical power supplies; one for each module. Both power supplies have a failed startup capacitor which can be easily replaced. After the repair, the power supplies are verified for functionality and power delivery. The schematic of the entire unit is described as well as a view of the module PCB. The performance of the unit across frequency, harmonic distortion as well as isolation behavior is also measured and verified.
