WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by RF Technology could void your authority to
operate this equipment. Specifications may vary
from those given in this document in accordance
with requirements of local authorities. RF
Technology equipment is subject to continual
improvement and RF Technology reserves the right
to change performance and specification without
further notice.
1 Operating Instructions
The Mon. Volume control is used to adjust the volume of the internal loudspeaker and
any external speaker connected to the test socket. It does not effect the level of the
600Ω line or direct audio output.
The Mon. Sq. switch allows all squelch functions controlling the monitor output to be
disabled. This can be useful when you are trying to trace the source of on-channel
interference.
1.1.3 [Link]
The [Link] trimpot is used to set the noise squelch sensitivity. Use the following
procedure to set the noise squelch to maximum sensitivity.
1. Turn the adjustme nt counter clockwise until the squelch opens as indicated by
the SQ LED.
2. In the absence of any on channel signal, turn the screw clockwise until the SQ
LED goes off. Then turn the screw one additional turn in the clockwise
direction.
1.1.4 [Link]
The [Link] trimpot is used to set the carrier squelch sensitivity. Carrier squelch is useful
at higher signal levels than those at which noise squelch can be used – typically from
1-200µ V input.
It is provided mainly for use in fixed link applications where a high minimum signal to
noise ratio is required or where very fast squelch operation is required for data
transmission. The carrier squelch will open and close in less than 2~ms.
In most base station applications carrier squelch is disabled by turning the adjustment
counter clockwise.
1.1.5 LINE
The LINE trimpot is used to set the line and direct audio output level. It is normally set
so that 0dBm (775mV) with a standard input signal gives 60% of maximum deviation
at 1 KHz. The level can be measured between test socket pins 6 and 1 and set as
desired.
The Power LED shows that the dc supply is connected to the receiver.
1.1.7 SQ LED
The SQ LED comes on when the audio to the line and direct outputs is unsquelched.
The LED and squelch function are controlled by noise, carrier and tone squelch
circuits.
The Alarm LED can indicate the detection of several different fault conditions by the
self test circuits. The alarm indicator shows the highest priority fault present. Receivers
using software issue 5 and higher use the cadence of the LED flash sequence to indicate
the alarm condition. Refer to table 1. Receivers using software
issue 4 and lower use the LED flash rate to indicate the alarm condition. Refer to table
2.

4 Frequency Programming
Channel frequency and subtone frequency settings are maintained in non-volatile
memory for each of the 100 channels. Channel frequency and subtone frequency
programming is most easily accomplished with RF Technology TecHelp/ Service
Monitor software. This software can be run on an IBM compatible PC and provides a
number of additional useful facilities. DOS and MS Windows versions are available.
TecHelp/ Service Monitor allows setting of the adaptive noise squelch threshold,
provides a simple means of calibrating the signal strength output and minimum signal
alarm.
5 Circuit Description
The following descriptions should be read as an aid to understanding the block and
schematic diagrams at the rear of this manual.
5.1 RF Section
A two section helical filter FL1 is used to limit the RF band width prior to the RF
amplifier transistor Q1. The output impedance of FL1 is matched to the input of Q1 by
C165, C1 and a microstrip line on the printed circuit board. Q1 is a very low noise
device with good intermodulation performance.
A four section filter consisting of FL2 and FL3 is used between Q1 and the mixer
MX1. This filter provides additional image and spurious frequency rejection.
The gain between the receiver input and the mixer input is approximately 10dB.
Monolithic amplifiers MA1, MA2 and transistor Q5 amplify the VCO output to the
necessary LO level for MX1.
MX1 is a high dynamic range double balanced mixer. The LO input level to MX1 is
approximately +13dBm the mixer conversion gain is approximately -7dB.
The network C7, C9, L1, L3 and R7 passes the IF frequency of 45 MHz and
terminates the RF and LO components.
5.2 IF Section
The first IF amplifier uses two parallel connected JFET transistors Q2 and Q3 to
obtain 12-15dB gain. The two transistors provide improved dynamic range and input
matching over a single transistor.
A two pole 45 MHz crystal filter XF1 is used between the first and second IF
amplifiers. The second IF amplifier Q4 provides additional gain of 6-10dB. A two
pole crystal filter is used between Q4 and the 2nd oscillator mixer. These two crystal
filters provide some adjacent channel rejection and all of the second IF image
frequency rejection.
CF1 and its termination resistors R15 and R24 are the only component differences in
the two versions.
The limiter/discriminator IC U3 further amplifies the signal and passes it through CF2.
CF2 does not contribute to the adjacent channel rejection but is used to reduce the
wide band noise input to the limiter section of U3.
The limiter section of U3 drives the quadrature detector discriminator. C31 and IF
tuned circuit L10 comprise the discriminator phase shift network.
U3 also has a received signal strength indicator output (RSSI). The RSSI voltage
connects to the test socket for alignment use. The RSSI voltage is also used by the
microprocessor for the adaptive noise squelch, carrier squelch and low signal alarm
functions.
Dual op-amp U2 is used to amplify and buffer the discriminator audio and RSSI
outputs.
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator uses a junction FET Q6 which oscillates at the
required mixer injection frequency. Varactor diode D4 is used by the PLL circuit to
keep the oscillator on the desired frequency. Transistor Q7 is used as a filter to reduce
the noise on the oscillator supply voltage.
Temperature compensated crystal oscillator XO1 is the frequency reference source for
the PLL Synthesizer. The frequency stability of XO1 is better than 1 ppm.
The 12.8 MHz output of XO1 is amplified by Q8 to drive the reference input of the
PLL synthesizer IC U4. This IC is a single chip synthesizer which includes a 1.1 GHz
pre-scaler, programmable divider, reference divider and phase/frequency detector. The
frequency data is entered a serial data link from the microprocessor.
The phase detector output signals of U4 are used to control two switched current
sources. The output of the positive and negative sources' Q10 and Q16, produce the
tuning voltage which is smoothed by the loop filter components to bias the VCO
varactor diode D4.
The audio can be set for either 750 uS de-emphasis or a flat response by JP2. JP2
selects the feedback network of amplifier U27c.
After de-emphasis and filtering, the audio signal is applied to the inputs of two analog
switches (U17a,b). These switches are controlled by the micro-controller and squelch
or mute the audio to the line and monitor output circuits. The monitor audio can be
unsquelched by S1 which keeps U17a switched on.
The audio from U17a is adjusted by the volume control before connecting to the
monitor output amplifier U5. U5 drives the internal speaker and can also supply 3-5
watts to an external loudspeaker.
The audio from U17b is adjusted by RV3 before connecting to the line output IC
(U22a,b). U22 is a dual amplifier connected in a bridge configuration to drive the
600Ω line output transformer T1.
The unfiltered audio from the discriminator is fed to trimpot RV4 which is used to set
the noise squelch threshold. From RV4 the audio goes to the noise filter (U27a). This
is a 10 kHz high pass filter and is used to eliminate voice frequency components.
The noise signal is then amplified by U27d and fed to the noise detector. The noise
detector consists of D6, Q17 and U26c. D6 and Q17 are a charge pump detector and
pull the input to U26c low as the noise increases. U26c has positive feedback and acts
like a Schmidt trigger. The output of U26c goes high when noise is detected. It
connects to the micro-controller and to analog switch U17d. U17d varies the gain of
the noise amplifier to provide approximately 2dB hysteressis.
The CTCSS decoder module is a micro-controller base hybrid module. Under control
of the main microprocessor U15 it can decode all 38 EIA tones and 12 additional
commonly used tones. The decode bandwidth is set to 1% but may be changed to 2%
by a jumper on the printed circuit board.
The program is stored in U12, a CMOS EPROM. U13 is an address latch for the low
order address bits. U11 is used to read the channel select lines onto the data bus. U7 is
an address decoder for U11 and U12. U14 is a supervisory chip which keeps the
processor reset unless the +5 Volt supply is within operating limits. U16 translates the
asynchronous serial port data to standard RS232 levels.
The analog to digital converter is used to measure the received signal strength, tuning
voltage, dc supply voltage and the carrier squelch setting.
The COS can be set to be active (switch closed) on carrier or active in the absence of
carrier.
The generic term ``Carrier Operated Switch'' may be misleading in this case. SINCE,
if a sub-audible tone has been programmed for the channel in use, the COS is
controlled by carrier and tone detection.
This circuit is short circuit and overload protected. It provides much better line
isolation and lower dropout voltage than can be obtained with current integrated
circuit regulators.
6 Alignment Procedure
The following procedures may be used to align the receiver for optimum performance.
Normally only RF alignment will be required when changing frequencies. IF
alignment should only be necessary after repairs on that part of the circuit.
TCXO calibration may be required periodically due to crystal aging. The aging should
be less than 1 ppm/year.
6.2 RF Alignment
1. Select center frequency channel. Measure dc Volts on test socket pin 9 to pin 1.
Adjust C61 to read 4.25 to 4.75V, with Alarm LED off.
2. Set signal generator to the center frequency channel frequency and connect to J1.
Modulation should be off. Measure the dc voltage on the test socket pins 7 to 1.
Adjust the generator level to get a reading of 1 - 2Vdc.
3. Set signal generator to the center frequency channel frequency and connect to J1.
Modulation should be off. Measure the dc voltage on the test socket pins 7 to 1.
Adjust FL1, FL2, and FL3 for maximum reading, reducing the generator output
to keep the voltage below 2Vdc.
6.3 IF Alignment
1. Set signal generator to the center frequency channel frequency and connect to J1.
Modulation should be off. Measure the dc voltage on the test socket pins 7 to 1.
Adjust the generator level to get a reading of 1-2Vdc.
2. Set signal generator to the center freque ncy channel frequency and connect to J1.
Modulation should be off. Measure the dc voltage on the test socket pins 7 to 1.
Adjust L5, L6, L7, L8 for maximum reading. Reduce generator output to keep
below 2 Vdc.
3. Set generator level to 10µV. Measure the frequency at U3 pin 9, and adjust L9
to obtain a frequency of 455kHz ±10Hz.
4. Set generator level to 1000µV (1mV), and switch the modulation on. Measure
the audio level at the test socket between pins 6 and 1. Adjust the line level
(RV3) to obtain approximately 1Vrms.
5. Maintain generator level at 1000µV (1mV), modulation on. Measure the audio
level at the test socket between pins 6 and 1. Adjust L10 for maximum reading.
6. Maintain generator level at 1000µV (1mV), modulation on. Measure the audio
level between pins 16 and 5 of P1. Adjust RV1 for 0.5Vrms.
7. Set generator level to 0.25µV, and measure SINAD on test socket pins 6 and 1.
Reduce generator level to obtain 12dB SINAD. Carefully adjust L5,L6,L7,L8 to
obtain the best SINAD. Reduce the generator output to maintain 12dB SINAD.
1. Set generator level at 1000µV (1mV), modulation on, tuned to the center
frequency channel frequency, apply signal to J1. Measure the audio level on pin
6 of the test socket wrt pin 1. Adjust RV3 for 350m Vrms.
7 Specifications
Although most applications are single channel, it can be programmed for up to 100
channels numbered 0-99. This is to provide the capability of programming all channels
into all of the receivers used at a given site.
7.1.2 CTCSS
The CTCSS tone or no tone can also be programmed for each channel. So that each
channel number can represent unique RF and tone frequency combination.
Channel selection is by eight channel select lines. These are available through the rear
panel connector.
A BCD active high code applied to the lines selects the required channel. This can be
supplied by pre-wiring the rack connector so that each rack position is dedicated to a
fixed channel.
BCD switches inside the receiver can be used to pre-set any desired channel. These
eliminate the need to externally select the channel.
