1.1.4 Design and operation

[Link] Operation principle

[Link].1 T h e operation principle of GP 734 lies in the fact that it creates an electromagnetic field in its
coverage area, where the information parameter is a null DDM plane. The null DDM plane (closest to the
horizontal plane), while crossing the course plane, forms a glide path line, relative to which an aircraft is
oriented in the vertical plane.

[Link].2 T h e GP 734 carrier frequency is amplitude modulated by the sum and difference signals with the
tone frequencies of 90 Hz and 150 Hz.

The GP 734 radiation pattern consists of the sum of two signals — the CSB and the SBO — mixed in
the Modulator. The radiation pattern is obtained by applying the signals to each of three antennas in the
certain amplitude-phase ratios of the carrier frequency, which is amplitude-modulated by the CSB signal
and balance-modulated by the SBO signal with the frequencies of 90 Hz and 150 Hz. In this case, the side
frequencies of one modulation frequency in the SBO signal are in phase, and the side frequencies of another
modulation frequency in the SBO signal are in antiphase with the corresponding side frequencies in the
CSB signal (see Figure 4).

Figure 4 — Signals spectra

1 — CSB signal; 2 — SBO signal on the pattern upper lobe; 3 — SBO signal on the pattern lower lobe.

[Link].3 T h e sum of the CSB and SBO signals in space forms a carrier frequency field, which depth of
modulation by the frequencies of 90 Hz and 150 Hz changes within the coverage area.

The modulation depth of the carrier frequency of 90 Hz prevails above the glide path line, the modulation
depth of the carrier frequency of 150 Hz prevails below the glide path line.

On the glide path line the depths of modulation by the frequencies of 90 Hz and 150 Hz are equal, so that
the DDM is null.

The DDM increases, while moving away from the glide path line (see Figure 5).

Figure 5 — Field structure relative to the glide path line

ECSB — CSB signal field strength; ESBO — SBO signal field strength; m — modulation depth.

Thus, the magnitude of the deviation from the glide path line in the vertical plane and the side of the deviation
can be evaluated by the value of the DDM and by the frequency of the predominant signal of the modulation
depth respectively.

[Link].4 W i t h a dual-frequency principle it possible to obtain the necessary accuracy characteristics

of GP 734 using the Course with the minimal interference due to the reflections from terrain irregularities
(the radiation of the Course CSB is minimal at small angles to the horizon).

[Link].5 The Course carrier frequency signal prevails near the glide path line. Airborne equipment
processes this signal and provides the information about the magnitude and side of a deviation. An angular
displacement sensitivity is set by the ratio of the Course SBO signal power and the Course CSB signal power.

[Link].6 Th e Clearance carrier frequency signal prevails at the small angles to the horizon, where the
information only about the side of the deviation from the glide path line is received.

[Link].7 T h e Course carrier frequency and the Clearance carrier frequency are symmetrically separated
by 10.0 kHz relative to the nominal frequency selected on the ICAO grid for a given airport, taking into
account the specified tolerances. The separation between the Course carrier frequency and the Clearance
carrier frequency is 20.0 kHz.

[Link].8 I n order to use GP 734 in single-channel single-frequency operation mode, exclude the Clearance
using "Console 734" software application.

[Link] Main parts purpose

[Link].1 A TAU (Transmitting Antenna Unit) creates an electromagnetic field in

the GP 734 coverage area.

[Link].2 A HF part consists of the Switch, the Divider and the Commutator.

[Link].3 T h e Modulator generates and transmits the sum of the CSB and SBO signals to a kits Switch,
then the signal goes to each antenna.

[Link].4 Monitor Device 1 (Monitor Device 2) controls and processes the signals generated in the
Modulators, as well as the signals coming through the Switch from the aperture sensors of the NFM Antenna
and transmitting antennas.

[Link].5 T h e Central Processor Unit generates requests to the Modulators and Monitor Devices 1 and 2,
and gets the information about the status of devices and about the results of the tolerance control of
the GP 734 parameters in response. Based on the received information, the Central Processor Unit defines
the status of equipment kits and GP 734 in general. In RC mode: if the main kit fails, the Central Processor
Unit automatically switches GP 734 to the backup kit; if the backup kit fails, then the Central Processor
Unit switches off GP 734. The information about the status of GP 734 is transmitted to DM 734. In RC mode
GP 734 is controlled by the DM 734 commands, and in LC mode it is controlled by the control buttons on
the front panel of the Central Processor Unit. In addition, the Central Processor Unit receives and transmits
to an ATC tower (to the DM 734 equipment) the information from shelter sensors (overheating, smoke,
and break in). The Central Processor Unit also transmits the requests from RCMS 734 to the GP 734 devices
and, in response to these requests, the values of the measured parameters from the GP 734 devices to RCMS
734.

[Link].6 A power system contains two Power Supplies (BCPS) and emergency supply — the Battery Units.
The Power Supplies carry out the control of Battery Unit parameters, the mains voltage levels, the
automatic switching of GP 734 to the battery power (in the absence of the mains power) and to the mains
power (when it is restored). The information about the status of networks and the Battery Units is
transmitted from the Power Supplies through the Central Processor Unit to the ATC tower (to the DM 734
equipment).

of a TAU. The outputs of the backup kit Modulator are connected to the loads on a circuit board.

[Link].5 T h e signals generated in the Modulator are sent from the Switch to the TAU via HF cables. The
TAU creates an electromagnetic field in the GP 734 coverage area. The effective power emitted by the TAU
in the frequency range of 329...336 MHz is 3 W maximum.

[Link].6 T h e NFM Antenna is an antenna mounted on a mast. The NFM Antenna is designed to receive
and broadcast the signal of the GP 734 near area via a HF cable.

[Link].7 The Commutator receives the signals from the NFM Antenna and aperture sensors of the

the main and backup kits of equipment, and it also terminates the transmission of a radio signal in cases
described in item 24 of Table 1.

[Link].2 T h e main objective of the control system is to ensure the GP 734 integrity and to prevent the
transmission of false navigational guidance and identification information.

[Link].3 T h e GP 734 control system consists of four subsystems:

– The monitoring system for the GP 734 main parameters (power supply voltage, emitted signals
power level, radio signal frequency control, etc.) — implemented in the Central Processor Unit;
– Built-in self-control systems in each GP 734 device;
– Built-in system for monitoring the parameters of HF signals;
– The monitoring system for the signals emitted according to the data received from NFM Antennas —
implemented in the Monitor Device.

[Link].4 T h e GP 734 control system simultaneously controls the parameters of the main and backup
kits of equipment.

[Link].5 W h e n a signal parameters deterioration of signal parameters or an equipment failure is

detected, the control system performs the following actions:
a) Automatically turns off the devices that have a malfunction or cause the signal parameters
deterioration;
b) If GP 734 is in RC mode, it will be automatically switched to the backup kit of equipment; if GP 734 is
in LC mode, then the backup kit is to be switched on manually by an operator;
c) If the backup kit was activated successfully, then GP 734 continues its operation, and the "Warning"
signal is generated on DM 734 and on an information panel;
d) If during the activation or operation of the backup kit of equipment, a malfunction is detected or signal
parameters deteriorate, then the equipment of this kit is automatically turned off, and the "Alarm"
signal is generated on DM 734 and on the Slave Unit.

[Link].6 I n case of the failure of the control system itself, GP 734 automatically turns off, and the "Alarm"
signal is generated on DM 734 and on the Slave Unit.

[Link].7 I f the connection between GP 734 and DM 734 is lost, the "Alarm" signal is generated on DM 734
and on the Slave Units, and the ability to control GP 734 with the help of DM 734 is lost.

reduce the influence of underlying surface irregularities on the radiation pattern and curvature of a glide
path line. It provides reduced radiation power at small angles to the horizon.

– a set of cables;
– a lightning protection system;
– a double obstruction light with LED lamps.

Processor Unit during GP 734 configuration via RCMS 734. Information from RCMS 734 can be received via
a modem communication line from an ATC tower or directly via the USB connector located on the front
panel of the Central Processor Unit.

[Link] L o a d i n g of configuration parameters from the memory of the Central Processor Unit into
devices is carried out in the process of turning on the GP 734 equipment. The scope and composition of
the configuration parameters depends on the type of radio beacon.

[Link] T h e exchange of information between the Central Processor Unit of DME 734 and DM 734 can be
done either directly via a modem communication line if GP 734 operates independently, or via the Central
Processor Unit of GP 734 (VOR 734) if GP 734 is combined with ILS 734 (VOR 734).

[Link] I n order to organize the synchronous operation of radio beacons, DM 734 periodically transmits
system time messages via a modem. This system time is the same for radio beacons of one landing system.

[Link] While working from RCMS 734, it is possible to request information both from the Central
Processor Unit directly and from the devices of GP 734 via the Central Processor Unit. In the first case,
the Central Processor Unit sends the requested information to RCMS 734. In the second case, the Central
Processor Unit determines the node that RCMS 734 is addressing and sends a message to it. The information
that is received from devices in response to a request is sent by the Central Processor Unit either via a
modem via a communication line, or via a serial port and an interface converter directly to RCMS 734, if
RCMS 734 is connected to the USB connector of the Central Processor Unit.

[Link] L C mode is set by moving the "RC–LC" switch located on the front panel of the Central Processor
Unit to the "LC" position. This mode is intended for configuring and repairing the equipment. In this mode,
switching on and off the first and second kits is performed by pressing the corresponding buttons on
the front panel of the Central Processor Unit. When a kit is on, the corresponding indicator glows green.
In LC mode, automatic switching to the backup kit and automatic shutdown in case of an alarm are blocked.
LC mode has a sub-mode — a technological mode in which GP 734 is configured while the configuration
parameters are recorded in the non-volatile memory of the Central Processor Unit.

[Link] I n RC mode, switching on/off and switching between kits are performed either by commands from
DM 734 or RCMS 734, or automatically depending on the kits status. The Central Processor Unit constantly
polls all devices of GP 734 in real time. If a device stops responding to requests (due to freeze, failure, etc.),
the Central Processor Unit automatically turns off the main kit of equipment, which includes this device,
and turns on the backup kit. If one of the devices in the backup kit also stops responding to requests, then
the Central Processor Unit automatically turns off GP 734, and thereby prevents the emission of false
guidance signals.

[Link] t h e basis of the Central Processor Unit is the FPGA, on which a central processor is implemented.
The FPGA is configured every time the Central Processor Unit is turned on. The FPGA configuration, as well
as the central processor code, is stored in a packaged form in the EPCS serial configuration memory. The
hardware loader available in the FPGA, when turned on, reads the FPGA configuration from the EPCS via a
special serial channel. Then the central processor starts and reads the program code from the EPCS and
places it in RAM. After that, the operating program located in RAM takes control. RAM is external to the
FPGA.

[Link] The central processor contains:

– A 32-bit core with hardware multiplier and divider;
– 16 MB of external RAM;
– a static memory controller (RAM) connected to the processor system bus via an asynchronous bridge;
– an EPCS controller that reads the program code and saves it in RAM;
– 8 UART controllers with a frequency of 115.2 kHz for communication with devices;
– a UART controller with a frequency of 115.2 kHz for communication with RCMS 734 via a USB
channel (via an interface converter);
– 5 UART controllers with a variable frequency for communication with DM 734 and other devices;
– an SPI controller for receiving information about the state of life support systems from
external sensors;
– an SPI controller for writing parameters to the log and reading from it;
– an SPI controller for FRAM type memory storing configuration parameters;
– an SPI controller for a non-volatile real time clock.

[Link] T h e Central Processor Unit also includes:

– a watchdog timer;
– Bus generators for receiving and transmitting of 5 V logic signals;
– Voltage comparators, that generate alarm signals, when the output voltages of +24 V UPS are
below the permissible level;
– RS-232 transceivers;
– RS-422 transceivers;
– 8 MB of serial flash memory;
– 32 KB of serial FRAM type memory;
– a real time clock;
– a clock generator 40 MHz.

[Link] T h e Central Processor Unit is designed as a functionally complete device (Figure I.7). External
connections of the Central Processor Unit are provided via a female LF connector. The front side of the
printed circuit board has a USB connector, controls and status light indicators.

[Link] t h e functional diagram of the Central Processor Unit is shown in Figure A.5.

1.2.9 Input Panel

[Link] T h e Input Panel (Figure I.8) is intended for providing the main equipment with a main supply
voltage of 220 V, 50 Hz.

[Link] T h e Input Panel gives information about the state of the room where GP 734 is located. It reports
about a fire, door opening and room temperature, as well as about the status of the main and backup 220
V power networks. Moreover, it controls the obstruction lights of the GP 734 antenna system.

[Link] T h e control part of the Input Panel is a separate printed circuit board — the Control Unit. The
Control Unit receives a standby supply voltage of +24 V from the main equipment cabinet. The standby
voltage is also used to power a smoke sensor, a door opening sensor, a temperature sensor and an
obstruction light. This ensures the operability of these systems in case when both power supply networks are
unavailable.

[Link] I n f o r m a t i o n about the networks availability and the obstruction light status, as well as data
from the smoke, motion and temperature sensors, is transmitted to the Central Processor Unit via an SPI
type serial interface.

[Link] C i r c u i t breakers are intended for providing equipment with 220 V power. Circuit breakers are
also used to power the obstruction lights.

[Link] The operation of the obstruction lights is controlled by a photo relay. Voltage relays signal the
voltage availability of the main and backup networks.

1.2.10 Switcher

[Link] T h e Switcher is intended for controlling the Commutators of ILS 734.

[Link] T h e Switcher (Figure I.9) is installed in the GP 734 cabinet.

[Link] The Switcher sequentially the inputs of the Commutators in GP 734. The Commutators are
controlled via the "Commutator 1" and "Commutator 2" connectors.

[Link] The Switcher sends to the Monitor Devices via RS-232 interfaces information about which
Commutator input is active at a given time. The information is transmitted via the "MD 1" and "MD 2"
connectors.

[Link] T h e Switcher is powered by 24 V DC. The power consumption of the Switcher is 2.5 W maximum.

1.2.11 Combiner

2.3 Usage

2.3.1 Service personnel composition and duties

[Link] GP 734 does not require the constant presence of service personnel. The GP 734 maintenance
is carried out exclusively during regulation works and troubleshooting.

[Link] The GP 734 maintenance can only be carried out by the specialist of an operating organization who
has completed the appropriate training course and is fully familiar with the equipment and
documentation, the rules for the safe GP 734 operation, and who has experience in working with a PC.

[Link] An engineer's qualification is required for the following operations:

a) analysis of information about the operation and status of GP 734 with the help of RCMS 734;
b) determination of the reasons for parameters deterioration or for the GP 734 equipment
failure;
c) determination of the deadlines for preventive maintenance, the replacement of the equipment
individual elements that tend to deteriorate their characteristics or that are out of order;
management of the mentioned operations;
d) supervision of deadlines for preventive maintenance;
e) management of flight testing;
f) control of the timely replenishment of SPTA and consumables;
g) control of timely and correct completion of reports and an operational documentation.

[Link] Remote control and monitoring is typically carried out by the shift (duty) engineer who has
completed the GP 734 training course and who has practical skills in working with the DM 734 equipment.

[Link] The qualification of a technician with practical skills in working with a PC is sufficient to carry out
other types of work (regulation maintenance, measurement and control of the GP 734 parameters, etc.).

2.3.2 Operation modes

GP 734 can operate in the following modes:

– LC mode;
– RC mode.

LC mode implies the control of GP 734 directly from a shelter: from the front panel of the Central Processor
Unit of the GP 734 cabinet or from RCMS 734 (with "Console" software application) connected to the
Central Processor Unit.

The main operation mode is RC mode, in which the control of GP 734 is carried out from the DM 734
equipment.

The GP 734 operation mode selection is carried out by the "RC–LC" switch on the front panel of the Central
Processor Unit of the GP 734 cabinet (in this case, the corresponding LED should be glowing).
