Find and repair microwave amplifier section faults in electronic apparatus

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to find and repair microwave amplifier section faults in electronic apparatus.

It includes preparing to find and repair faults, finding faults, repairing faults, and completing and reporting on repair activities.

Permits may be required for some work environments, such as confined spaces, working aloft, near live electrical apparatus and site rehabilitation.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:

applying methodical fault-finding techniques

applying relevant risk identification, assessment, reporting and control requirements

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements

applying sustainable energy principles and practices

coordinating work with relevant person/s

dealing effectively with unplanned events

determining live testing/measurement requirements

determining scope of repair work

efficiently finding faults

identifying and accessing materials, tools, apparatus and testing devices

isolating circuits/machines/systems

providing justification for the repairs

replacing components without damage.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

electronic microwave communications systems, including:

advanced electronic (communication systems) testing and measuring devices and techniques

electronic (communication systems) fault finding

electronic communications, microwave antennae and waveguide fundamentals

microwave amplifiers, including:

amplifier components and circuit configuration

amplifier faults, symptoms and causes

applications and operational constraints

operating principles and parameters

relevant industry standards, codes and regulations

software programming fundamentals

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant safe work method statements (SWMS)/job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace policies and procedures.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in suitable simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to finding and repairing faults in the microwave amplifier sections in electronic apparatus

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Finding and repairing faults in microwave amplifier sections must include the following:

at least two types of electronic apparatus
