General Information

DB7007 is a second generation digitally-tuned FM Re-Broadcast Receiver. Considering the
needs of the most demanding broadcasters and continuously supplementing new features to our
devices, DEVA has enhanced DB7007 to be smarter and fully functional unit, equipped with two
high-selective DSP-based FM tuners.

Thanks to the built-in monitoring system, upon audio loss at the inputs, DB7007 will not only
notify the maintenance staff, but will also automatically switch to the second back-up RF Station.
In case a fail of the second station is detected, DB7007 will shift to the incorporated IP Stream,
MP3/AAC back-up audio source player. It is essential that the back-up sources priority is user-

dened. The audio les and playlists can be uploaded in the device’s internal memory directly

from your PC, via any FTP client. When the signal at the default input is restored, the DB7007 will

automatically switch back to it. Depending on your preferences, several types of alarm notications

are utilized - E-mail, SNMP and SMS (via the optional GSM modem).

The DB7007 has an easy to read, high-resolution OLED graphical display, front panel alarm
indicators and ultra-bright bargraphs with up to 40 LED segment indicators that allow reading at a
glance of the MPX, Left and Right audio and the RF level, as well. The RF (IF) signal is digitized
as soon as it enters the device and all signal processing is then made through DSP algorithms,

thus guaranteeing measurement reproducibility over time. The IF bandwidth lters guarantees
unprecedented signal selectivity, while the difcult adjacent-channel problem will be completely

solved. DEVA advanced DB7007 will measure all important parameters of the FM transmission.

Additionally, the RDS information contained in the processed MPX signal is easily visualized
and represented as RDS/RBDS Data and detailed RDS/RBDS Statistics. The utilized Band
Analyzer function presents an overview of all available FM signals, plus the RF signal strength.
Scans can be performed within any section of the FM band in 4 different frequency steps. The
consequently generated spectrum diagram visualizes the relation RF Level vs. Frequency.

Adhering to the underlying principle of all DEVA products to be as much user-friendly as
possible, the DB7007 can be also easily controlled through the built-in Web server - you can use a
standard web browser to monitor the status or to make any adjustments (iOS and Android devices
are also supported); the supplied free of charge DEVA Device Manager Software or alternatively,
through the very intuitive user interface.

Designed to ensure premium broadcasting experience, DB7007 will meet and even exceed

your expectations for a rst rank re-broadcast receiver.

Before you start

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• The servicing of electronic equipment should be performed only by qualied personnel;

• Before removing the covers DB7007 must be switched off and the mains cable unplugged;

• When the equipment is open, the power supply capacitors should be discharged using a

suitable resistor;

• Never touch the wires or the electrical circuits;

• Use insulated tools only;

• Never touch the metal semiconductor. They might carry high voltages;

• For removing and installing electronic components, follow the recommendations for

handling MOS components.

ATTENTION: DB7007 has an internal Lithium battery. Do not try to re-charge this battery!

Please contact us for detailed instructions in case the battery should be changed.

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

For normal operation of DB7007, we recommend following the instructions listed below.

• Install the unit in places with good air conditioning. DB7007 is designed to operate within the
ambient temperature range of 10 to 50°C. The equipment rack should be ventilated in order
for the device to keep its internal temperature below the maximum ambient temperatures;

• We do not recommend installation in rooms with high humidity, dusty places or other
aggressive conditions;

• Locate the device away from abnormally high RF elds;

• Use only checked power supply cables. We strongly recommend the usage of shielded

cables;

• Connect DB7007 only to reliable power supply sources. In case of unstable power supply,
please use Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS);

RF ENVIRONMENT – PRECAUTIONS, INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS AND ANTENNA TYPES

The observation of the RF Environment, in which DB7007 is functioning, is necessary for
ensuring normal and reliable function of the device. In order for the device to work properly, the
best conditions according the standards listed below should be provided.

The usage of an external antenna is required because DB7007 is used for off air re-broadcasting
away from the transmitter site. Proper outdoor FM antenna, antenna location and direction should
be selected. The three most popular antenna types are: omni directional, unidirectional dipole and
directional multi-element array antenna.

Because of the low antenna gain, the bad signal to noise ratio (compared to any directional
antenna) and its high multipath interfaces reception, we do not recommend the usage of omni
directional antenna with DB7007.

The other type antennas: unidirectional dipole and directional multi-element array antenna are
much proper for your needs. We recommend the usage of factory made antenna or antenna system,
manufactured specially for the FM Radio Band 88 – 108 MHz.

The recommended working RF signal strength is in the range of 55-90 dBμV. If the input RF

level is above this range, we recommend using external RF attenuators with attenuation value
between 20 – 90dB.

After selecting the antenna type that will meet your needs, the next step is its installation. The
following important principles should be considered:

- Install the antenna far enough from walls, roofs, buildings or any transmitting equipment;

- The minimum spacing between the antenna and the closest object should be more than 3

meters.

One unit DB7007 re-broadcast receiver is used for re-broadcasting of one transmitter site,
transmitting more than one program. In such cases, the best antenna that can be used is a directional
antenna directed exactly to this site.

DE-EMPHASIS AND PRE-EMPHASIS SELECTION

As well known, there are three different de-emphasis selections. One of the problems with the
high quality VHF FM transmissions is that the increased audio bandwidth means that background
noise can often be perceived. It is particularly noticeable towards the treble end of the audio
spectrum, where it can be heard as a background hiss. To overcome this, it is possible to increase
the level of the treble frequencies at the transmitter. The frequencies are correspondingly attenuated
at the receiver in order to restore the balance. This also has the effect of reducing the treble
background hiss which is generated in the receiver. The process of increasing the treble signals
is called pre-emphasis, and reducing the treble signals in the receiver is called de-emphasis. The
rate of pre-emphasis and de-emphasis is expressed as a time constant. It is the time constant of the
capacitor-resistor network used to give the required level of change.

In UK, Europe and Australia the time constant is 50μs whereas in North America it is 75μs. The

de-emphasis and pre-emphasis should be selected depending on the region you are located or can
be disabled.

Operation

RE-BROADCASTING LIMITATIONS

Signal Strength

The signal strength is a major factor when a signal is re-broadcasted, measured and evaluated.
FM compared to AM is less susceptible to the inherent noise of the radio reception.

When speaking about FM broadcasting, it is the monaural reception which can tolerate and

prot from a much narrower IF bandwidth. The stereo reception adds all noise present in the 23 –

53 kHz sub-band. The amplitude component (AM) of the sub band is converted down to audible
noise and added to the program signal. That is why the noise performance of FM-stereo can be as
much as 20 dB worse than that of monaural broadcast.

Better reception and measurement can be obtained by using highly directional outdoors antenna.
This will improve the signal strength and contribute in eliminating the multipath distortion.

Multipath Distortion

In FM reception, regardless of overall signal strength, a very important consideration is that

obstacles, which an FM signal may encounter in the line-of-sight path tend to reect and disperse

the signal in many directions. In many locations, especially in urban areas where many tall
buildings interfere with the direct transmitted signal or in suburban areas surrounded by hills or
mountains, an FM receiver may pick up a station’s primary signal but, also, several secondary

reections coming from various directions. These reections arrive at the receiver out-of-phase,

slightly delayed in time with the primary signal and tend to blur or distort the principal signal. The

degree of distortion depends on the number and relative strength of the reections.

The result, known as multipath distortion in FM reception can range from a low-level fuzziness
to a severely distorted sound quality, particularly at the high frequencies or treble. Multipath
distortion is especially troublesome in FM stereo reception.

DB7007 has a multipath distortion detector and Front panel multipath LED indicator with
adjustable threshold. A bar graph indicator representing the multipath level of the received signal
can be reached under LEVELS menu.

Co-channel Interface

In many populated areas, there is not enough space in the radio spectrum and stations might
be jam-packed. Poor frequency planning may also result in the mutual interface between the
broadcasting stations.

The inherent broad bandwidth of DB7007 re-broadcast receiver is vulnerable from stations
working on the nearby frequencies, where signal strength will be the most important factor – the
stronger the interfering station, the stronger the interference effect.

We recommend you to observe the independent positive and negative deviation readings in
order to identify adjacent channel interference. If the positive deviation is higher than the negative
one, interference from a strong station above the monitored frequency would be indicated and
vice–versa. For example, the negative deviation can probably be trusted as an indication of total

carrier modulation, though this should be conrmed in free of interference RF environment.

Anyhow, the program deviation should be fairly symmetrical about the carrier frequency. Using
the built-in Attenuator can be of some help, but the usage of an outdoors directional antenna could
improve the situation with unwanted adjacent working stations. Other solutions include a band-

pass lter at the primary frequency or a trap at the interfering frequency.

LEVELS PAGE

Enter the Main Menu page and select the Level icon, press [OK] button to enter the menu.
Levels page shows bar graph representation of the different signals, measured by DB7007. The
parameters are divided into groups. Each bar graph displays the low, average and high values
of the signal. The number in the center below represents the average value. The shaded color
number, placed on the left and right bottom edges, denotes the measurement range of the signal.
Measurement units and name of the signal are written above the corresponding bar graph.

Group 1. RF carrier related parameters

The RF level at the selected antenna input is measured in dBμV. The RF attenuation is included
in the level calculation.

The Frequency offset of the RF carrier is measured in kHz. This signal measures the misalignment
between the modulation and demodulation frequency. As the misalignment is expected to be
small, a large offset will indicate disturbance (for example adjacent channel breakthrough). The
Frequency offset is measured with better accuracy if there is no modulation of the carrier. The

usable range depends on the selected IF lter bandwidth.

The Multipath reception level is measured in % (percents). The multipath detector measures

the amplitude uctuations of the signal. The FM signal is broadcasted with a xed level; therefore
the level uctuations will indicate degraded signal quality. At multipath conditions, large level
uctuations can be measured. To achieve better re-broadcast, install the antenna at the reception

point with the lowest multipath level.

IF Bandwidth – Shows the current IF lter bandwidth.

Group 2. Stereo multiplex related parameters

MPX Positive and MPX Negative – These bar graphs represent the positive and negative
deviation component of the MPX signal.

Pilot – Represents the deviation caused by Pilot tone injection. Our practice shows thatfor best
results the pilot deviation should be about 7.5kHz of the total deviation of the RF carrier.

RDS – Represents the deviation caused by RDS subcarrier. Our practice shows that for best
results the RDS deviation should be about 5kHz of the total deviation of the RF carrier.

Group 4. Reception quality related levels

Ultrasonic Noise – Indicates the MPX signal amplitudein the approximate bandwidth of 80

kHz – 150 kHz.

Stereo Blend – A value of 100% indicates that no reduction is applied. The level of stereo
blending depends on the following input signals: RF Signal Level, Multipath, Ultrasonic Noise
and Pilot tone deviation.

High Cut – Audio disturbance effect is mostly present in the high frequencies. A value of 100%
indicates that no “high cut” is applied. The applied High Cut level depends on the following input
signals: RF Signal Level, Multipath and Ultrasonic Noise.

Soft Mute – If a disturbance is present in the received signal, the perceived effect can be reduced
by attenuating the audio signal. The reduction of audio volume is called “soft mute”. A value of
0% indicates that no “soft mute” is applied. Soft Mute depends on the following input signals: RF
Signal Level, Multipath and Ultrasonic Noise.

Backup

Once silence on the current audio source is registered, the DB7007 will automatically switch to
the next available backup audio source. From here you could set the backup sources priority and
set Audio Loss Threshold, Audio Loss Timeout, Audio Recover Th., Audio Recover Timeout,
Stream Client, RTP and Backup Files Order. Based on these settings, the DB7007 will make sure
your station has audio 24/7.

MPX

The Stereo MPX is signal used for FM Stereo broadcasting and represents a complex combination
of the following signals:

- Sum of the left and right audio channels occupying the band from 0 to 15kHz;

- Difference signal (Left minus Right) located in the band 23-53kHz;

- Pilot tone at exactly 19 kHz;

- RDS signal, used for transmitting text and other data, may also be added. It occupies a narrow

band around 57kHz.

DB7007 has a built-in stereo generator and Radio Data Systems (RDS/RBDS) encoder. The

amount of each signal contained in the nal MPX signal is called injection level.

MPX out Conguration

Settings> MPX>MPX Source

There are three types of MPX signal that you can choose from:

1. RAW MPX – Directly modulated by your station RAW MPX without any further processing;

2. Stereo & RDS Gen – Generated by the internal stereo and RDS generators;

3. Calibration Tone 400Hz – used to adjust the transmitter MPX input.

NOTE: Raw MPX is used only when Main Station is the current audio source. Stereo & RDS

Gen is used automatically for all other audio sources. Calibration Tone is active regardless of the
current audio source.

Stereo Generator

Settings> MPX> Stereo Mode

The composite multiplex signal, including the pilot tone, is generated through the build-in
Stereo generator. The stereo generator can operate in two modes - Stereo and Mono. In order to
overcome the noise of the treble frequencies the Emphasis can be set to Flat, 50μs or 70μs.

Injection levels

The MPX signal is a combination of Audio, Pilot and RDS Signal. This option allows you to
adjust the amount of each signal included in the MPX. The recommended and default values are:

0dB Audio gain, 7.5kHz Pilot and 5.0kHz RDS.

MPX limiter

Settings> MPX

The regulatory authorities, in some countries, require the total MPX Power not to exceed
0dBr. Therefore, DB7007 has a built-in MPX ITU limiter that restrains the deviation below the
predened threshold. The default threshold is 0dBr.

RDS

Settings> RDS

The use of RDS/RBDS Encoder will allow branding of your station and will enable the
transmission of the Program Service name (PS), Program Identication code (PI), Trafc
Announcement (TA) and other useful features.

The RDS/RBDS Encoder has four different working modes:

1. Original – Re-broadcast of the original RDS/RBDS data received from the station;

2. Orig/Local fallback – Upon loss of the Original RDS/RBDS the Local data will be used;

3. Replace with local – User-dened combination of the original and local RDS/RBDS data.

One or more values from the following can be modied: Program Identication Code(PI),
Program service(PS), Radio Text(RT), Alternative Frequencies(AFs), Program type(PTY),
Decoder Identication control code (DI), Music/Speech (M/S), Trafc program code(TP),
Trafc Announcement(TA);

4. Local only – User-dened RDS/RBDS data.

NOTE: Original RDS data is taken from the active radio station, either Main or Backup. If one

of the other audio sources is currently active, RDS Local values are in use, regardless of the RDS
Data Source setting.

RF Loss Protection Mode

The RF signal strength can vary by vast amounts. When the RF level is too low, the signal is

distorted and buzzing. In order for this effect to be avoided, a value for the signal quality as per the
RF level could be set, thus allowing the audio to be muted if the RF level is lower than the one set

(for the specied timeout).Once the audio is muted, the built-in silence detector will observe this

event. After the Audio Loss timeout expires, the DB7007 will switch to the back-up station, or the
next by priority backup source.

The function is available for both the Main and Backup stations. The desired values are applied

in the RF Loss Audio Mute and RF Loss Timeout.

APPENDIX 1

ALARM TRIGGERS

After collecting all the data, the DSP-based core compares the values measured with the

predened by the user threshold levels, for all the alarms monitored. In case that a parameter
is beyond limits, the device will initiate the sending of an alarm notication via the selected

communication path. All the alarm events are stored in the device’s log. It is essential that, if there
is a very short fault of the signal, with duration shorter than the alarm Trigger time, the device
would not trigger an alarm.

There are several Alarm Triggers for the following parameters: RF, MPX, Left/ Right Audio,

Pilot and RDS levels. An option for dening different limits for each of the parameters is present.
All these values, the Trigger time and the Release time have to be assigned separately for each of
the alarms.

Tel: [phone], Fax: [phone]

When an observation event takes place, the alarm trigger’s state will refresh, if necessary. Should

we consider an instance when the alarm trigger is in Idle state, having in mind that an alarm is
not triggered immediately when a parameter level passes beyond threshold: If the parameter level
becomes stable, within thresholds, and the alarm Trigger time is not elapsed, then the alarm trigger
remains in Idle state. If the alarm Trigger time expires and the parameter level is still beyond
limits, the Alarm trigger would change its state to High/Low. This would result in predened

actions - alarm notications (E-mail, SMS, SNMP trap) and save a log record. The state will not

be immediately switched into Idle when the parameter stabilizes, within threshold levels, not up
until the alarm Release time is elapsed. Meanwhile, if the parameter crosses again any threshold,
the Alarm trigger will remain in active state. If the parameter remain within the threshold levels
and the alarm Release time expires, then the Alarm trigger would switch into Idle state and again

predened actions would be initiated.

APPENDIX A

RDS: EUROPE VS AMERICA

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and its member countries originated the concept of

“Radio Data” transmission. The European RDS specication, CENELEC Standard EN50067, was
rst published in 1984. It was revised in 1986, 1990, 1991 and 1992.

European RDS has grown in use following initial adoption of the Standard. RDS is nearly

universal throughout Europe; it is almost impossible to nd a European FM broadcasting station

that does not carry a radio data subcarrier.

The popularity of RDS in Europe is very much in contrast with initial reluctance on the part

of US broadcasters to embrace this technology. This can be ascribed to material differences in
broadcasting practices.

Almost without exception, FM broadcasting in the United States is ‘detached’ and independent

- each station originates its own programming. America’s National Public Radio might be
considered as an exception, though for most of the broadcast day even NPR stations originate, or
at least schedule, their own programs.

Most of European broadcasting is similar to the concept of network radio that was common in

the US prior to the 1950s. In Europe, a central program originator may have many transmitting
facilities of modest power situated throughout the country, at several different frequencies to
blanket a designated service area. The European disposition, toward lower-power transmitters can
be found on the “local radio” level, as well.

The European concept of a service area equates to the US broadcaster’s market. The subtle

difference between these designations further characterizes broadcasting practices and ethics.

RDS benets the European broadcaster through almost an altruistic endeavor to be of service to

his listeners. The US broadcaster is marketing his programming and is primarily interested in how
he can create additional revenue from RDS.

THE RDS SYSTEM

RDS is a digital data channel, transmitted as a low-level subcarrier above the range of the

composite stereo program signal in the FM baseband. The data transmission (baud) rate is
comparatively low, yet it is quite robust because of data redundancy and effective error correction.

It is not within the scope of this Manual to cover the details of RDS subcarrier coding and

modulation. For this, the reader is directed to the Specication appropriate to his location either
the CENELEC EN50067 Specication for Europe or the United States NRSC Specication. Since
the Manual will deal with specic implication of RDS implemented with the Radio Explorer II, it

is assumed that the user is familiar with the RDS concept.

APPENDIX B

DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD FILES VIA FTP

In order for a connection to be established the following setting should be applied:

1. FTP Server Settings

The built-in FTP Server has four important parameters that should be congured: Command

Port, Data Port, User name and Password. These parameters are to be used in the FTP client’s

connection conguration. Further information on how to change the FTP Server’s settings and

their respective default values can be found in the device’s User manual.

WE RECOMMEND the usage of FileZilla (https://lezilla-project.org). This is a widespread

open source software distributed free of charge, hence available for downloading from the Internet.

NOTE: The FTP Server can manage only one connection at a time. TheFTP Server works in

Passive mode. Hence, the FTP Client should also be set in passive mode.

2. IP Router and Port Translation Settings

If the connection to the device is made through a Network address translation (NAT) router or

rewall, the port forwarding feature of the router should be congured. The port forwarding is
usually set in the rewall section of the router’s menu. As each router has different port forwarding
procedure, we recommend you to refer to its complete manual. To allow proper data ow through

the router, the FTP Command and FTP Data ports should be open.

NOTE: The FTP port numbers to be used in the port forwarding feature conguration can be

found in the device.

In some cases, FileZilla’s “Quick connect” feature is not able to connect with the DEVA unit.

That is why we recommend the device to be assigned in the program manually.

Enter the FTP Client and go to: File> Site manager> New Site. A dialog box requiring obligatory

information about the device will appear. Fill in the needed information and press “OK”.

Select “Transfer Settings” sub-menu and apply the settings as shown below:
