2. PURPOSE AND USE
The Motorola Communications System Analyzer is a portable test instrument, designed specifically for the
service and monitoring of communications equipment. Its functions supersede those of a Service Monitor,
expanding the features and capabilities to the point wherein servicing is achieved with a single instrument,
rather than a host of separate equipment.
The R2001A is the standard Communications System Analyzer. The R2002A Analyzer, which contains the
IEEE-488 Standard interface control bus, is also available. Programming for the R2002A is covered in Secton
22 of this manual.
The Analyzer improves a technician's efficiency and accuracy and reduces servicing time.
The Communications System Analyzer performs the functions of signal generation, signal monitoring, and
the tests normally associated with the devices listed below.
• Spectrum Analyzer
• Duplex Generator
• Modulation Oscilloscope
• Frequency Counter
• AC/DC Digital
• RF Wattmeter
• General Purpose Oscilloscope
• Multi-Mode Code Synthesizer
• SINAD Meter
• Sweep Generator
Voltmeter
The Analyzer meets the shock and vibration requirements of EIA test RS152B, the same specifications met
by Motorola mobile radios. This minimizes failures when the instrument is used in a mobile service van, and
means it is as tough as the radios it services.
The Communications System Analyzer is designed to be serviced quickly and easily, should a breakdown
occur. The majority of the circuitry is on seven modular plug-in circuit boards which have built-in test points
that aid in isolating the problem to a specific board. Simple plug-in replacement gets the instrument back in

DESCRIPTION
2-1. DESCRIPTION
2-2. The Communication System Analyzer is a portable test instrument designed for servicing and
monitoring of portable, mobile, and land base communications equipment operating over the frequency range
of 1 MHz to 1 GHz. The unit performs the functions of signal generation, frequency error and modulation
measurement. It is also capable of a variety of tests normally associated with the following devices:
2-3. MICROPROCESSOR. A Motorola M-6800 series microprocessor permits keyboard entry of data,
autoranging of displays, fast frequency access, and permanent storage of often-used frequencies and codes.
Generate and monitor RF frequencies, tone codes, and timing sequences can be programmed into a
nonvolatile memory, saving time and eliminating entry errors. When one particular type of equipment is
continuously serviced, the unit can be programmed to select the mode of operation required when first turned
on.
2.4 DISPLAY. All functions, generated or monitored, are presented on an 8 cm x 10 cm cathode ray tube
(CRT) in both analog and digital format, with the name of the function being displayed. The CRT also displays
control settings eliminating the need for operator search of different equipment panels. Digital readouts are
visually aided by the use of the continuously autoranging analog line segments, which are similar to a bar
graph. Each has a base line and calibration markers, in addition to the intensified segment showing the
measurement. The user selectable displays are listed in a column beneath the DISPLAY heading on the front
panel. Choosing a display is accomplished by pressing an arrow button below the column, for up or down
movement, as required. When the appropriate arrow is pressed, the LED adjacent to the selected display
illuminates. FUNCTION is selected in the same way, providing rapid, accurate changes in service capability at
the touch of a button.
2-5. SYSTEM WARNINGS. To aid the technician in servicing, visual warnings will appear on the CRT when
certain overload or caution conditions exist. Displays warn of low battery power, overheating of the RF load, or
an improper attenuator setting for particular measurements. In addition, a continuous audible alarm sounds
when a preset deviation limit is exceeded in monitor modes. This limit is entered by using the keyboard and
may be programmed from 0 kHz to 99.9 kHz, with 100 Hz resolution.
2-6. FUNCTIONS. The following paragraphs briefly describe the major functions of the Communications
System Analyzer.
2-1
2-7. AM, FM, CW, DSB Signal Generation. The built-in general purpose signal generator provides
continuous coverage of the HF, VHP, and UHF land mobile spectrum for receiver testing. Many forms of
external and internal modulation can be simultaneously impressed on the carrier signal for actual composite
signals. The frequency range of the RF signal generator is from 10 kHz to 1000 MHz in 100 Hz steps. The output
of up to 1 Volt rms provides sufficient amplitude to get through misaligned tuners and receivers, and is
especially effective when changing a receiver's frequency. The high level, clean output is available over the
entire frequency range of the Communications System Analyzer. The output frequency is referenced to an
internal time base which can be calibrated to the WWV Standard. (See paragraph 4-7.)
2-8. Simultaneous Modulation. Modulation is simultaneously available from an internal 1 kHz tone
generator, a multi-mode code synthesizer, and from external inputs. The external modulation can be voice
from a standard Motorola mobile radio microphone (which plugs into the front panel of the instrument), as well
as a signal applied to the external BNC input. Separate controls are provided for independently setting the
levels of the 1 kHz tone, the code synthesizer, and the external modulation sources. The 1 kHz test tone is a
convenient source of modulation for making Sl NAD measurements. A MOD OUT connector provides external
access to all of the modulation signals.
2-9. Modulation Display. The recovered audio waveform, or audio used to modulate the generator carrier,
can be viewed on the CRT. It is used to graphically measure deviation, and to aid in waveform analysis.
2-10. Sweep Generation. The sweep generator mode provides an RF output that is swept in frequency
across a band centered at the programmed frequency. A synchronized horizontal sweep for the internal
oscilloscope allows filter characteristics to be easily determined. This is ideal for in-depth troubleshooting of
IF amplifiers and filters.
2-11. SINAD Metering. A comprehensive check of receiver performance can be made with a SINAD
measurement. The analog line segment and digital representation of SINAD appear automatically whenever
the unit is in the normal generate mode. The only hookups required are from the Communications System
Analyzer to the RF input of the receiver under test, and from the audio output of the receiver to the instrument's
multipurpose input. The measurement, and appropriate servicing, can then be accomplished withoutthe need
for a separate signal generator, SINAD meter or distortion analyzer.
2-12. Multi-Mode Code Synthesizer. The Communications System Analyzer generates Private Line tones
(PL), Digital Private Line codes (DPL), two-tone sequential paging codes and tone-remote base signaling
tones. All codes are available at the Mod Out jack, as well as being used internally to modulate the RF signal
generator. This eliminates the necessity of using separate generators and oscillators for general servicing,
setting transmitter deviation, or for checking tone-remote-base control lines. Timing sequences are also
stored in the Tone Memory to provide fast set-up and eliminate errors. User programmable timing sequences
are also provided to allow the storage of non-standard or future time sequences.
2-13. Off-the-Air Monitor. The 1.5 u V sensitivity of the Communications System Analyzer receiver allows
off-the-air monitoring and measurement of transmitter frequency error and deviation to 1000MHz. A variable
squelch allows weak signals to be monitored, but can beset higher to ensure the proper signal-to-noise ratio
for measurement accuracy. The off-the-air monitor function enables frequent parameter checks without
leaving the shop, thus spotting system degradation early and keeping service costs down, Bandwidth can be
set Wide for off-channel signal location or wide band FM; or Narrow for maximum sensitivity and selectivity.
2-14. IF Display. When the IF display mode is selected, the Communications System Analyzer's receiver IF
envelope is shown on the CRT. This allows the technician to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the
amplitude modulation envelope of a transmitter.
2-2
2-15. Spectrum Analyzer. In this mode of operation the CRT displays a window of the RF spectrum whose
bandwidth (from 1 MHz to 10 MHz) is determined by the DISPERSION/SWEEP control. The center frequency
of this window ranges from 4 MHz to 1,000 MHz, selectable by entering a specific center frequency with the
keyboard. This center frequency is digitally displayed at the top of the CRT screen, eliminating the need for an
external signal generator, and counter to provide markers. Once a signal is centered on the screen, positive
identification is aided by switching the Analyzer to MONITOR AM or FM and listening to the demodulated
output via the built-in audio amplifier and speaker. The spectrum analyzer's center frequency can be scanned
up or down at rates vary ing from 0.5 kHz per second to 5 MHz per second, using the RF scan control. Slow rates
are used to precisely determine a subject signal's frequency while faster rates are used for locating intermittent
transmissions or viewing large areas of the spectrum in a short time. Uses of the Spectrum Analyzer
are: Intermodulation interference identification, IF and RF signal tracing, transmitter harmonics
measurements, transmitter spurious checks, and receiver local oscillator radiation.
2-16. RF Burnout Protection. At RF input levels above 200 mW, in any operating mode, the input
automatically switches to the internal 125 watt RF load, thus protecting the attenuator and signal generator
against damage from a keyed transmitter. If power above 200 mW is applied in any mode except the power
monitor mode an audiable alarm sounds and a visual warning on the CRT directs the operator to switch to the
power monitor mode.
CAUTION
To prevent undue stress on the protected circuits it is advisable to always switch the
system to the power monitor mode before applying power in excess of 200 mW.
Additional protection is also obtained by making it a practice not to leave the step
attenuator in the 0 dB position.
2-17. Terminated RF Power Measurement. RF power is automatically measured when the Communications
System Analyzer is in the Power-Monitor mode. The built-in RF load dissipates up to 50 watts for three minutes
and up to 125 watts for one minute. If a high power transmitter should be keyed into the unit for a time long
enough to threaten overheating of the power measuring circuitry, the audible alarm sounds and the CRT
display changes to read "RF LOAD OVER-TEMP," thus warning the technician to un-key. This instrument
function is further enhanced by the simultaneous indication ofRF power output, carrier frequency error, and
modulation, all on the same CRT display.
2-18. In-Line Power Measurement. Use of the Motorola ST-1200 series Wattmeter elements in conjunction
with the analyzer's external wattmeter display provides measurement of forward and reflected antenna power
on the CRT display. This capability eliminates the complex hook-ups and the additional instruments normally
required for antenna measurements.
2-19. Duplex Generator. In this mode, the Communications System Analyzer simultaneously receives and
generates the signals for duplex radio servicing, while generated and monitored frequencies are observed on
the CRT. In the 0-10 MHz range, the'Freq. Set'control tunes the proper offset frequency for the VHF and UHF
bands. The 45 MHz mode provides a single offset for the 800 MHz range. A switch is also provided to select high
or low side offset, as required. The Duplex Generator provides enhanced capability to service equipment such
as repeaters, car telephones and Emergency Medical Telemetry portables.
2-20. 500-kHz Oscilloscope. This general purpose scope is ideal for waveform analysis in two-way
communication servicing. Use it for viewing modulation signals (either internally or externally generated),
detection of asymmetric modulation or audio distortion, and general purpose signal tracing and
troubleshooting.
2-3
2-21. Frequency Counter. The frequency counter measures inputs in a range from 10 Hz to 35 MHz. Its 5
digit auto-ranging output is displayed on the CRT and allows precise measurement and setting of offset
oscillators, 35 kHz and 455 kHz pager IF's, PL frequencies and other external input signals. This function will
also operate simultaneously with the generate or monitor receiver modes of operation. Frequency
measurement of transmitted carriers and other signals higher than 35 MHz is easily accomplished with the
frequency error readout in the monitor modes.
2-22. AC/DC Voltmeter. Switching to the DVM mode provides a digital-analog voltage presentation on the
CRT, along with the corresponding dBm value. The auto-ranging display provides full scale deflections of 1,
10, 100 and 300 Volts. AC or DC measurement is selected on the CRT. The meter's wide dynamic range and
three digit display are ideal for setting power supply voltages, checking bias levels, and setting audio levels.
Like the Frequency Counter, the DVM will operate simultaneously with generate or monitor operation.
2-23. Power Supply. The Communications System Analyzer may be powered by a variety of sources:
• AC at 110 or 220 Volts, 50/60 Hz
• DC from an external 12 Volt source such as a service vehicle
• DC from an optional battery pack. Servicing can thus be accomplished wherever the equipment under
test is located

3-2. The unit is packaged in a fiberboard carton and protected by foam pieces as shown in figure 3-1. The unit
is first packed in a cardboard container and then thiscarton is packed in asecond, larger cardboard container,
for further protection. Save the packing container and materials for future use.
Figure 3-1. Typical Communication System Analyzer Packaging
3-3. All accessories supplied with the analyzer are packed in the analyzer cover.
3-4. INITIAL SETUP
3-5. ANALYZER. To set up the Analyzer for use, place the unit on workbench or in mobile repair unit.
Remove the front cover by operating the two latches on the bottom of the cover. Lift the cover and slide it to the
side to separate the hinges. Remove the power cord (AC or DC) that is stored in the cover, Attach the female
connector of the power cord to the appropriate connector on the rear panel of the analyzer, and the other end
to the power source. For AC power a grounded 3 wire power source of 100-130 Vac or 200-260 Vac, 47-63 Hz
must be used.
3-1
NOTE
The unit is set for 110-130 Vac operation from the factory. For operation from 1 GO-
110 Vac or 200-260 Vac, the voltage selection card must be readjusted before
connection to the power source. This is accomplished by the following procedure:
1. Remove the power cord from the rear panel connector.
2. Slide the selector card cover door over the connector area exposing the selection card and
fuse area.
3. Pull outward on the fuse ejector tab and remove fuse.
4. Remove the printed circuit board voltage selector card by pulling straight to the rear.
5. Reinsert the card at the orientation which causes the appropriate voltage range (marked
on card) to be displayed.
6. Reinstall the fuse.
7. Slide the cover plate back to the original position, connect power cord, and proceed with
system operation.
Remove the accessories to be used from the cover. Move the POWER switch to the ON position. When the
Oven Ready indicator illuminates the unit's frequency standard is stabilized and the unit is ready for use,
(instantaneous with standard TCXO).
CAUTION
When installing the analyzer in a vehicle, the DC supply line should be fused close to
the vehicle battery. The analyzer is protected against overload by the DC 8A fuse on
the rear of the unit, but the vehicle is not protected.
3-6. BATTERY PACK. The battery pack is attached to the rear of the analyzer with two clips and two screws.
Align and slide the mounting clips of the battery pack into the slots on the mounting brackets on the left side of
the back panel of the analyzer. Align the captive screws with the mounting holes on the right of the panel and
tighten. Connect the power plug to the connector at the top right of the rear panel.
3-7. BLOWER ASSEMBLY. The blower assembly comes from the factory wired for continuous operation.
That is, the blower will run whenever the analyzer is connected to the AC power line. If thermostatic operation
is desired the wire jumper across the thermostat in the blower assembly must be clipped out. The blower will
now run only when the back panel exceeds a preset operating temperature. Normally this temperature will only
occur in high ambient temperature conditions.
3-8. The blower assembly is mounted onto the rear of the analyzer in the same manner as the battery pack.
Align and slide the mounting clips of the blower into the slots of the mounting brackets on the left side of the
back panel. Align the captive screws with the mounting holes on the right of the panel and tighten. Connect the
power plug to the BLOWER connector on the right side of the rear panel.

changed the CRT display changes to reflect the new parameter being used or function being performed.
4-7. CALIBRATE. The Communication System Analyzer may be calibrated to WWV or other
time/frequency standards (figure 4-4). To calibrate the unit's time base (frequency standard) proceed as
follows:
a. Connect antenna to RF In/Out connector.
b. Set FUNCTION switch to Monitor and DISPLAY to Gen/Mon Mtr.
c. Enter frequency of time/frequency standards station directly from keyboard.
4-12
d. Select AM function.
e. Using a tuning tool, adjust time base frequency calibration control (on left side of housing) until CRT
frequency error display indicates less than 5 Hz error. Frequency settability to 0.5 part per million can
thus be achieved using a 10 MHz frequency standard station.
NOTE
The time base output is also available on the rear panel for external measurement or
laboratory calibration to better than the 0.5 ppm achievable with the above method.
NOTE
An external time base input is also provided on the rear panel.

4-8. GENERATOR OPERATION. The system generates RF frequencies for FM, AM, CW, SSB, and DSBSC
types of transmission covering a range of 10 kHz to 1000 MHz. To generate a signal the FUNCTION switch is
placed in the Gen. position.
NOTE
An RF protection circuit to protect against damage due to inadvertent application of
RF power to the unit, when in a generate or sensitive monitor mode, is functional
over the full monitor frequency range of the equipment (2 to 1000 MHz).
The type of signal is selected using the FUNCTION select LED indicator column. The unit can deliver an output
of up to 1 volt into 50 Ohms. When in the AM generate mode the variable control (located in the RF SECTION
on the front panel) should not be set above the AM limit mark. Exceeding this may cause distortion in the
output.
4-13
NOTE
The RF protect circuit may trip if generator is run at full power output without having
a 50-ohm load connected.
4-9. DUPLEX GENERATION. When operating in the duplex generate mode the offset frequency can be set
to either 45 MHz or 0 to 10MHz (adjustable). The Image/Dplx switch sets the offset frequency above (high) or
below (low) the monitored frequency. When offset is in the 0 to 10 MHz range, the control range may include a
foldback region. If the generator is operated in this foldback area erroneous frequency output indications can
be given. Avoid areas where backward indication or a jittering display of the offset frequency are incurred. The
following is an example of the duplex generator being used to setup repeater levels.
a. Connect DUPLEX GEN output to repeater receiver antenna input and repeater transmitter signal
sample to RF In/Out connector. The Duplex Gen Output level is fixed at -30 dBm nominal.
b. Set FUNCTION switch to Gen and DISPLAY to Duplex Gen.
c. Select Duplex Monitor frequency (repeater transmit frequency) from memory table or enter directly
from keyboard.
d. Set DUPLEX GENERATOR frequency to repeater receiver frequency.
e. Adjust PL and test tone deviation to desired level on display.
f. Set FUNCTION switch to Monitor and measure the deviation of the repeated signal.
NOTE
Switch function to power monitor and connect repeater transmitter (under 125
watts) directly to the RF In/Out connector to read power and frequency error, as
well.

measurements.
4-11. SPECTRUM ANALYZER. Input to the spectrum analyzer is through the RF In/Out connector. Select
the spectrum analyzer position on the DISPLAY column. Place the FUNCTION switch in the monitor position.
Select the desired width of sweep by the Dispr/Sweep control. The center frequency is selected from the
memory or entered directly from the keyboard, it is displayed at the top-right of the CRT. The following is an
example of locating the frequency of an incoming signal with the spectrum analyzer.
a. Connect antenna to RF IN/OUT connector.
b. Set FUNCTION switch to Mon. and DISPLAY to Sped. Analyzer.
c. Select center frequency from memory table or enter directly from keyboard.

d. Adjust Disp/Sweep control for desired spectrum span.
e. Adjust Step attenuator \f required to reduce sensitivity.
f. To determine whether a given displayed signal is valid or being internally generated, flip the
Image/Dplx switch to the opposite position. If signal moves in frequency or disappears, it
then/represents an internally generated spurious response or received image.
g. Use the RF Scan control to move desired signal to center of the screen. If the signal is located to the
right of screen center line, move the RF Scan control clockwise into one of five positive stepping
modes. If the signal is to the left of screen center line, turn the RF Scan control counter clockwise to
one of five negative stepping modes.
h. Adjust Dispr/sweep.control fully counterclockwise for 1 MHz spectrum span.
i. Again use RF Scan to recenter signal on screen.
j. Set DISPLAY to Qen/Mon Mtr.
k. Now adjust the RF scan control to minimize any existing frequency error between the incoming signal
and the Monitor frequency.
4-15
The frequency indicated at the top of the screen is now that of the desired incoming signal. It can also
be monitored for call signs, etc.
NOTE
The spectrum analyzer is functional but uncalibrated for level measurements in
Power Monitor mode for transmitter testing with the built-in 125 watt 50 ohm load.
(Observe "RF LOAD OVERTEMP" warning for high power levels or extended
periods of use.)
Figure 4-6. Spectrum Test Setup and CRT Display
4-12. MONITOR. The analyzer is capable of monitoring the same frequencies that it generates (para 4-9).
Select Gen/Mon Mtr in the DISPLAY column and the modulation type in the FUNCTION column. Set the
FUNCTION switch to the Monitor position for small signal samples or off the air monitoring. For high power
signal monitoring (0.2w to 125w), set the FUNCTION switch to Pwr Mon.
CAUTION
To prevent undue stress on the protected circuits it is advisable to always switch the
system to the power monitor mode before applying power in excess of 200 mw.
Additional protection is also obtained by making it a practice not to leave the step
attenuator in the 0 dB position.
NOTE
High-powered equipment in the 1-30 MHz range, which has unusually fast carrier
rise times, may damage the system analyzer with repeated activation of the protect
circuit. Ensure the FUNCTION switch is in the Pwr Mon position (this enables the
protect circuit) before RF power is applied to the equipment.
In the monitor mode the CRT displays the type of signal being monitored, the selected frequency, power, error
of the received frequency, and the modulation level.

4-13. EXT WATTMETER. When the analyzer DISPLAY is set to the Ext Wattmeter mode and the Motorola
RTL-4055A in-line wattmeter adapter (supplied) is connected to the Ext Wattmeter jack the analyzer measures
both forward and reflected power. The power rating of the wattmeter elements (Motorola ST-1200 series"), to
be used, are displayed on the CRT. The following is an example of a test setup for external wattmeter
operation. Figure 4-7 shows the test set connections and CRT display.
a. Select the EXT Wattmeter function by means of the arrow keys located below the DISPLAY column.
b. Plug the connector of the RTL-4055A In-Line Wattmeter adaptor into the "Ext-Wattmeter" jack located
on the RF SECTION of the front panel.
c. Using the keyboard; enter the single digit which corresponds to the full scale power rating of the ST-
1200 series element you plan to use.
d. Place the ST-1200 element In the In-Line Wattmeter adaptor and install element/adaptor assembly into
transmission line.
NOTE
Arrow on In-Line Wattmeter Adaptor must point in the forward direction of the
desired rf power flow through the adaptor.
e. Key transmitter and observe magnitudes of forward and reflected power as displayed simultaneously
on the 2 analog meter bars and corresponding digital readouts.

5-18. The operation of the Communications System Analyzer can be divided into nine basic functions;
Generate, Power Meter, Monitor, Duplex Generator, Code Synthesizer, Frequency Counter, Digital Voltmeter
(DVM), Oscilloscope, and Sinad Meter. The general operation of the unit will simultaneously incorporate the
basic functions to provide the total capability of the system.
5-19. The following discussion will cover the block diagrams for each of the basic functions pi us a discussion
on the processor control of the system. A functional block diagram of the total system is shown in figure 5-3.
Only the major signal paths between each of the modules are shown to clarify the total system configuration.
5-20. System Control
5-21. System Control is the primary responsibility of the internal microprocessor. Front panel control and
system status inputs to the processor are manipulated by the processor to provide the control for the operating
mode. From the front panel the processor monitors the keyboards, the function select switch, the modulation
control switch, the RF scan switch, the image switch, the bandwidth switch, the horizontal and vertical range
switches, and the step attenuator switch. This information plus internal status information causes the
processor to display the appropriate information on the CRT to program the center frequency, to set up the
generate or monitor mode, and to make the internal switching arrangements for the selected operating state.
5-22. The interface to and from the microprocessor is via the processor bus. This bus consists of a 16-bit
address bus, an 8-bit data bus, and a 7-bit control bus. This bus interfaces the processor to its program
memory (ROM), scratch pad memory (RAM), IEEE interface, and the peripheral interface adapters (PIA).The
PIA is the mechanism by which the processor interfaces with the system. A PIA consits of a dual 8-bit latch
which may be programmed as either an input or output for the microprocessor. System input and control
information passes to and from the microprocessor via three system control buses attached to a PIA.
5-23. Each system control bus consists of a 4 bit address bus, a 4 bit data bus, and an enable line. The 4
address bits determine which of 16 possible latches the 4 bits of data is to be sent to or received from. The
enable line triggers the actual transfer of data. The three control buses within the system are called the RF
control bus and the AF control buses 1 and 2. The RF control bus is as described above while the AF control
buses consist of a single 4-bit address and 4-bit data bus and two enable lines. The resulting total input/output
capability for the system buses is 16 latches at 4-bits each times 3 buses or 192 bits. A tabulation of buses and
the controlling or input function of each bit is shown in table 5-2.
5-24. Systems with the IEEE remote control option interface the IEEE bus to the processor bus through a
general purpose interface bus adapter (GPIB) on the IEEE interface module. When enabled all control inputs
to the system pass through the IEEE bus and front panel controls are ignored. For more information on IEEE
control see section 22.
5-25. Generate Mode
5-26. The generate mode provides a variable level RF output that is phase locked to the internal 10 MHz
standard. AM, FM, and Sideband Modulation are possible on the output signal. A block diagram of the
generate mode is shown in figure 5-4.

10 MHz FREQUENCY
INPUT
STANDARD
Figure 5-4. Generate Mode Block Diagram
5-27. The Frequency Standard module (A13) contains a 10 MHz standard oscillator with buffering and
switching to provide a 10 MHz signal to the EXTERNAL 10 MHz OUTPUT and to the RF Synthesizer (A5). A
provision is made for the application of an EXTERNAL 10 MHz INPUT which causes the internal standard to
shutdown and the EXTERNAL 10MHz INPUT to be switched to the EXTERNAL 10 MHz OUT and to the RF
Synthesizer.
5-28, The 10 MHz standard input to the RF synthesizer is digitally divided down to provide SYSTEM REFF
FREQUENCIES for the frequency counter, the zero beat detector, the second local oscillator in the receiver,
and the processor timing reference. Additionally reference frequencies are provided for a fixed 550 MHz
locked loop and for a programmable 500 MHz-1000 MHz locked loop. The programming of the 500 MHz-1000
MHz locked loop is provided by the RF CONTROL BUS from the processor. The SELECT SWITCH selects one
of three possible output points for the SYNTH RF output signal. The first is from the 500 MHz-1000 MHz loop
directly. The second is from a divide by two on the output of the 500 MHz-1000 MHz loop which gives
frequencies from 250 MHz to 500 MHz. For outputs below 250 MHz, the output of the 500 MHz-1000 MHz loop
is mixed with the fixed 550 MHz signal and the difference signal used for the output. For this output the
processor programs the 500 MHz-1000 MHz loop for frequencies between 550.01 MHz and 800 MHz to obtain
outputs from 10 kHz to 250 MHz respectively.
5-29. FM and SWEEP Modulation is implemented within the 500 MHz-1000 MHz loop. FM capability is 200
kHz peak which when divided by two gives the 100 kHz peak requirement. Similarly the sweep capability is 10
MHz peak which provides the 5 MHz requirement for the sweep generator and spectrum analyzer
requirements.
5-10
5-30. The SYNTH RF signal is amplified and leveled in the RF Input module (AH). The signal level at the
output of the wideband amp is detected and compared to the AM MOD & DC REF signal from the front panel
level control. If there is a difference between the two signal levels, the ALC amp provides an error voltage. The
error voltage controls the attenuation of the Voltage Controlled Attenuator (VCA) in the direction that will
make the detected RF output equal to the AM MOD & DC REF signal. There are two possible VCA's for the
output leveling. The VCA within A11 is used for frequencies from 1 MHz to 1000MHz. For frequencies below 1
MHz, the VCA on A11 is set to minimum attenuation and the VCA on the RF Synthesizer module is used for
leveling. Amplitude modulation is incorporated by sum ing the modulation signal with the DC reference signal
to force the leveling loop to vary the output level in proportion to the modulating signal. The signal from the RF
level detector (CARRIER + MOD LVL) is used by the processor for the determination of RF output level and the
percent AM. The leveled output range of the Wideband Amp is from -3dBm to +13dBm (0.16 to I.OVrms).
5-31. The leveled output from the Wideband Amplifier is applied to the Generate/Monitor (T/R) switch. For
AM, FM, and CW signals the switch connects the amplifier output to the Step Attenuator. For Double Sideband
Suppressed Carrier (DSBSC) the T/R switch is in the "R" position where the amplifier output is connected to
the local oscillator port on the receive mixer and the attenuator is connected to the RF port. The DSBSC MOD
signal is then used to drive the IF port of the mixer giving a DSBSC signal at the RF port and thus at the Step
Attenuator.
5-32. Coarse level control in 10 dB increments is provided by the Step Attenuator. The total range of the
attenuator is from 0 dBto 130 dB attenuation. For the basic R2001 A the Step Attenuator is controlled directly
by a shaft to the front panel knob. With the IEEE control option the Step Attenuator is electrically
programmable and controlled by the processor. The front panel knob in this case is connected only to a rotary
switch which directs the processor in setting the attenuation level. Under IEEE control, commands via the IEEE
•bus determine the attenuator setting. (See section 22.)
5-33. The RF signal from the Step Attenuator passes through the input protection circuitry to the RF Output
jack. A level detector on the RF Output jack monitors the power level at the jack. If power in excess of 200 mW is
applied to the Output jack, the protection circuit will activate and switch the RF Output jack to the internal 50
ohm load. This action protects the Wideband Amp and Step Attenuator against burnout. A signal line from the
protection network signals the processor that the system is in the protected mode. The processor in turn
activates the CRT and alarm warnings.
5-34. Power Meter
5-35. Input power measurements are made with the RF Input terminated into an internal 50 ohm load. This
termination is the same one used for the protect mode when in the generate or monitor functions. A block
diagram of the power meter is shown in figure 5-5.
5-36. For the power meter mode the processor sets the WATT METER ENABLE line to cause the RF input
jack to be switched to the 50 ohm power termination. For modes other than the power meter, an Input Detector
on the RF Input jack detects when the input power has exceeded 200 mW and then switches the input to the
load.
5-37. The switch is a single pole double throw configuration so that when switched to the RF load the path to
the Step Attenuator and Converter is open circuited. However, leakage across the open switch provides
sufficient signal for operation of the normal monitor functions.

5-38. A sample of the RF voltage being applied to the RF Load is detected by the Power Detector to give a DC
output proportional to the peak RF voltage. The amplifier following the detector buffers and gain adjusts the
detected voltage to provide the RF INPUT POWER signal to the processor. The processor then determines and
displays the RF input power.
5-39. A Temperature Sensor located near the flange of the RF Load alerts the processor when the load
temperature exceeds 80° C. The processor reacts to the OVER TEMPERATUREsignal by displaying a warning
message on the CRT and by sounding the audible alarm.
5-40. Monitor Mode
5-41. The monitor mode allows RF signals from an antenna or from a transmitter directly to be checked for
frequency error, modulation level, and spectral content. AM, FM, and sideband modulations can be
accommodated with this system. A block diagram of the monitor mode is shown in figure 5-6.
5-42. The RF signal to be monitored is applied to the RF I nput jack on the RF Input module (AH). If the input
level is less than 200 mW the input signal passes directly through the Input Protection circuitry to the Step
Attenuator. For input levels greater than 200 mW the protection circuit switches the input to the internal load
and signal the operator to switch to the Power Monitor mode. In this case, RF leakage (paragraph 5-37)
through the protection circuits provides the input signal to the Step Attenuator.
5-43. For the monitor mode the T/R switch is set so that the RF input from the Step Attenuator is connected to
the RF port on the receive mixer. The output from the wideband amp is switched to the local oscillator porton
the receive mixer. The processor programs the RF Synthesizer for an output frequency that is offset from the
frequency to be monitored by 10.7 MHz. The offset may be above or below the center frequency as selected by
the front panel image switch.
5-12
Figure 5-6. Monitor Mode Block Diagram
5-44. The 10.7 MHz difference signal at the IF port of the receive mixer is amplified and selected by the first IF
Amplifier and Filter. The Amplifier provides sufficient gain so that the overall gain of the RF Input module is 10
±2 dB. The I F filter provides a modulation acceptance bandwidth of +100 kHz. The filter output is the 10.7 MHz
IF signal to the Receiver module (A4).
5-45. A second mixer in the receiver module down converts the 10.7MHz IF signal to 455 kHz by mixing the
input signal with a 10.245 MHz Second Local Oscillator. The Second Local Oscillator is phase locked to the 10
MHz system standard so that its frequency is as accurate as the standard. The phase locked loop for the
Second Local Oscillator is split between two modules. A 10.245 MHz SAMPLE signal is compared with the
REFERENCE FREQUENCIES from the RF Synthesizer on the Processor I/O module (A7). The comparison
provides a TRACKI NG VOLTAGE error signal to the 10.245 MHz oscillator which corrects its frequency to hold
it in lock.
5-46. Immediately following the second mixer is the IF filter. The IFfilter is selectable between a narrowband
(±6 kHz mod acceptance) and a wideband (±100 kHz mod acceptance) bandwidth. The bandwidth is under the
control of the processor and is selected by the bandwidth switch on the front panel.
5-13
5-47. The output signal from the IF filter has two possible paths. The path to the Log Amplifier and Detector
provides the spectrum analyzer capability. The other path is the linear IF Amplifier for AM, FM, and SSB
demodulation. The output level of the Amplifier is detected to give amplitude modulation and to provide the
AGC control on the IF amplifier. The IF signal is applied to the FM Demodulator and issenttotheScope/DVM
Control module (A3) for SSB demodulation and for frequency error determination.
5-48. Demodulated audio from the selected demodulator is routed to the Audio Filter by the Select Switch
under processor control. The Audio Filter provides post detection filtering for both wide and narrow band
modes. The output of the Audio Filter is three signal lines. The Demod Calibration Audio line provides the
calibrated audio levels for modulation level determination. A Demod Audio output provides a level adjusted
signal to the front panel Demod Out jack. Speaker audio is level adjusted by the front panel volume control and
then amplified by the Audio Amplifier on the Receiver module.
5-49. The Audio Amplifier sums the audio from the demodulator with the Alarm audio. The Audio Amplifier
provides a 0.5 watt output capability to the system's internal speaker. The Alarm generator is under the control
of the system processor.
5-50. SSB demodulation is implemented on the Scope/DVM Control module by multiplying the 455 kHz IF
signal from the Receiver with a signal from the Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO). The BFO is controlled from
the front panel and typically has a frequency range of 455 ±3 kHz. The BFO signal is switched with the output of
the 455 kHz IF Phase Locked Loop (PLL) to the frequency counter for frequency error determination. The 455
kHz PLL filters and shapes the IF signal to make it suitable for frequency counting.
5-51. When in the spectrum analyzer mode the linear IF Amplifier is shut down and the Log Amplifier is
activated. The output of the Log Amplifier and Detector is a DC voltage that is proportional to the log of the 10.7
MHz IF input level. The log circuit has a dynamic range of approximately 80 dB, covering input levels from-100
dBm to -20 dBm. The SPECTRUM ANALYZER signal from the Log Amplifier is the vertical input to the scope
for the spectrum analyzer display.
5-52. Duplex Generator
5-53. Simultaneous generate and monitor functions are available with the use of the Duplex Generator. The
frequency spread between generate and monitor frequencies is limited to a range of 0 to 10 MHz and a fixed
frequency of 45 MHz. A block diagram of the Duplex Generator function is shown in figure 5-7.
5-54. The Duplex Output signal is generated by mixing the local oscillator signal for the first receive mixer
with a signal from the Offset Oscillator. The Offset Oscillator is at the frequency equal to the desired spread
between generate and monitor frequencies less the 10.7 MHz IF offset. The monitor function is unaffected by
the duplex mode and operates as described under paragraph 5-40.
5-55. Frequency modulation of the duplex output is obtained by modulating the Offset Oscillator frequency
via the OFFSET MOD signal line. Control of the Offset Oscillator is directly from the front panel of the system.
A OFFSET FREQUENCY output from the oscillator provides an input to the frequency counter for the
determination of the duplex frequency.

5-56. Code Synthesizer
5-57. Three simultaneous modulation sources are possible with the internal Code Synthesizer, A private line
(PL) or Digital Private Line (DPL) source, a fixed 1 kHz source, and external modulation sources are
individually level controllable and sumed together to give the composite modulation audio. The Code
Synthesizer provides the modulation source for the system in the generate mode and can be used as an audio
frequency source when in the monitor mode. For the IEEE option a provision is made to allow processor
control of the modulation levels. A block diagram of the Code Synthesizer is shown in figure 5-8.
5-58. The PL signaling sequence generator is an Audio Synthesizer with an output frequency range from 5 Hz
to 10 kHz in 0.1 Hz steps. The frequency is programmed by the processor in response to the operator's request
from the keyboard through the CRT display. The Programmable Attenuator following the synthesizer provides
10 dB and 30 dB attenuation levels for the tone remote access sequence.
5-59. DPL Code words are generated by the processor in response to the code entered by the operator. The
23-bit DPL word is stored in the DPL Generator and continuously output when selected. Either PL or DPL
signals are switched to the Code Synthesizer Level control on the front panel.
5-60. A 1 kHz reference signal from the RF Synthesizer is bandpass filtered to provide a low distortion 1 kHz
sinewave to the front panel 1 kHz Level Control.
5-61. Two sources of external modulation are possible. A standard Motorola microphone interface jack on
the front panel and a BNC front panel jack are provided. The microphone input is connected to an IDC circuit
.for peak limiting. The composite of the two external modulation sources is the signal to the External Level
control on the front panel.
5-62. Systems without the IEEE option will have the wipers of the level control pots jumpered to their
respective inputs to the summation amp on the Audio Synthesizer module (A6). Those systems with the IEEE
option will select on the IEEE Interface module (A8) either the tops of the level controls or their wipers to the
Programmable Attenuators for remote or local control respectively. While in the IEEE Control mode the
processor controlled Programmable Attenuator on the IEEE module provides the modulation level control. For
the local mode the attenuators are programmed for zero attenuation so that the wipers of the level controls set
the modulation levels directly.

5-63. The three modulation sources are sumed together on the Audio Synthesizer module after the level
controls. The composite modulation signal is then switched to the appropriate modulator and applied to the
modulation determination circuitry (MOD CAL AUDIO), the audio amplifier (SPKR AUDIO), and the
Modulation Output jack (MOD OUT) on the front panel. The signal to the front panel jack is buffered by a Driver
Amplifier to provide a low driving source impedance.
5-64. The AM modulation signal at the output of the Select Switch is sumed with a +5 volt signal. This
combination provides a DC level to control the average output power of the wideband amp in the RF Input
module, and a superimposed modulation signal to give an AM output. The RF Level control on the front panel
for local control or the Programmable Attenuator on the IEEE module provide local or remote RF level control
by simultaneously attenuating the DC level and the modulating signal. The resulting signal is the AM MOD &
DC REFERENCE signal to the RF Input module.
5-16
5-65. Frequency Counter
5-66. Three possible signal sources are made available to the frequency counter for frequency
determination. Two of the inputs are from internal system points for the determinations of the offset frequency
(OFFSET), and the monitored carrier error frequency (IF/BFO). The third input is the external input (FREQ
CNTR INPUT) on the front panel. A block diagram of the frequency counter function is shown in figure 5-9.

5-67. The external input signal is routed to the Front Panel Interface module (A12). A range Attenuator on the
Interface module provides variable sensitivity settings according to the vertical range switch setting on the
front panel. An Amplifier following the range Attenuator amplifies and limits the signal amplitude for the
frequency counter input.
5-68. A Select Switch on the Processor I/O module (A7) routes the desired signal to the Frequency Counter
circuitry. The signal selected is controlled by the processor and is determined by the operating mode of the
system.
5-69. A 16-bit gated accumulator is used to determine the input frequency. Gate times from 1 msec to 10 sec
are automatically selected by the processor to give the maximum possible resolution. The gate times are
derived from the RF Synthesizer REFERENCE FREQUENCIES and thus are as accurate as the system time
base.
5-70. The 16-bit Frequency Counter output is transferred directly to the processor bus through a Peripheral
Interface Adapter (PIA). The processor in turn adjusts the data for the gate time used and then processes the
information to obtain the required frequency display.
5-71. Digital Voltmeter (DVM)
5-72. The processor through the DVM circuitry has access to voltage information ata large number of points
throughout the system. From this information the processor is able to determine and display parameters such •
as; output power level, modulation level, input power level and the like. In addition an external voltage applied
to the DVM input jack on the front panel can be measured and displayed for external voltage measurements. A
block diagram of the DVM function is shown in figure 5-10.
5-17
Figure 5-10. Digital Voltmeter (DVM) Block Diagram
5-73. Switching for the DVM input is contained on the Scope/DVM Control module (A3). One of ten internal
measurement points may be selected for measurement. The switching action is controlled by the processor
and is performed as required to obtain the information on the CRT. To keep the CRT information current, each
of the required measurements are made in sequence at an approximate rate of thirty per second. The net effect
is a multiplexing of the voltage information to the processor.
.5-74. Two modulation signals (MOD CAL AUDIO and CARRIER + MOD LVL) and a demodulated signal
(DEMOD CAL AUDIO) are made available to the peak detectors. Positive and negative peak determination of
the selected signal enables the processor to determine the level of modulation.
5-75. A Lowpass Filter (LPFL) removes the DC component from the CARRIER + MOD LVL signal so that the
generate RF output level can be determined. Refer to paragraph 5-30.
5-18
5-76. The RF INPUT POWER and OVERTEMP signal lines from the RF Input module provide the processor
inputs for the internal wattmeter. (Paragraph 5-38). External wattmeter element inputs (EXT FWD PWR and
EXT RFL PWR) from the front panel jack provide the information for the external wattmeter display.
5-77. A signal line from the DC input jack on the rear panel (BATT VOLT) is brought to the processor for
battery voltage determination. The voltage is attenuated by a factor of 10 to stay with the 10 volt maximum
input to the select switch. The processor uses the battery voltage measurement to warn the operator when the
battery is near it's discharged state.
5-78. Sinad determination utilizes the two remaining inputs to the select switch. For a discussion on the sinad
function see para 5-96.
5-79. The selected internal measurement signal is then passed through a range attenuator. Signals from the
Select Switch have a 0 to +10 volt range while the DVM input has a 1 volt maximum input requirement. The
processor automatically determines and sets the correct range on the attenuator so that the input level to the
DVM is maintained at less than 1 volt. For levels from the select switch less than 1 volt, the attenuator is ranged
to the unity gain position for maximum measurement resolution.
5-80. A select switch following the internal range attenuator gates either the internal measurement points or
the external input to the DVM circuitry. External DVM inputs are applied through the front panel jack to the
Front Panel Interface module (A12). On the Interface module, a processor controlled switch selects between a
direct coupled or a capacitively coupled path for DC and AC measurements respectively. A range attenuator
follows the AC/DC switch to provide processor controlled autoranging over a four decade range. Input
voltages from 1 millivolt to 300 volt can be handled through the DVM Input.
5-81. For DC measurements a lowpass filter (LPFL) removes AC signal components. The filter provides
approximately 25 dB rejection at 50 Hz so that accurate DC measurements can be made with superimposed AC
line ripple. When the AC measurement mode is selected the LPFL is reprogrammed for less than 0.5 dB
rejection at 10 kHz.
5-82. Positive and negative DVM input levels are full-wave rectified by the Absolute Value circuit on the
Processor I/O module (A7). The outputs of the Absolute Value circuit provide a positive voltage level equal to
the magnitude of the input voltage and a SIGN BIT indicating the polarity of the input signal. For AC
measurements a lowpass filter is switched into the Absolute Value circuit to filter the rectified AC input for it's
average level. The processor then multiplies by 1.11 to obtain the RMS value.
5-83. An analog to digital converter (A/D) converts the magnitude voltage level into a 10-bit digital word. This
digital word when combined with the SIGN BIT is a binary representation of the input voltage level. The
peripheral interface adapter transfers the information to the processor.
5-84. Oscilloscope
5-85. Three basic functions are provided for by the system oscilloscope. The alphanumeric and modulation
displays provide operating mode and control information for the system. The external oscilloscope feature
augments the total system as a general purpose test instrument. A block diagram of the oscilloscope function
is shown in figure 5-11.
5-86. Drive signals for the CRT are provided by circuits on the Scope Amplifier module (A2). Horizontal and
vertical signals are amplified by their respective amplifiers from 0.5 volt/division input levels to the levels
required on the deflection plates. A Z-Axis Modulator circuit controls the cathode to grid bias voltage on the
CRT to effect intensity control.
5-19
Figure 5-11. Oscilloscope Block Diagram
5-87. The horizontal amplifier input is selected between external and internal scope functions. External
functions, Time base Generator or external horizontal input, are switched to a sumation amp where the
HORIZONTAL POSITION signal from the front panel is added. The resulting DC offset positions the display
horizontally on the CRT.
5-88. Six decade sweep ranges from 1u sec to 100 msec per division are provided by the Time base
Generator. Control of the Time base Generator is from the front panel horizontal switch through the processor.
5-89. Front panel external horizontal inputs are applied to the top of the horizontal vernier gain
potentiometer. The wiper of the gain potentiometer is the EXTERNAL HORIZONTAL input signal to the
5-20
preamp on. the Front Panel Interface module (A12). The preampprovittes (he required horizontal input
sensitivity and buffers the signal to the select switch on the Scope Amplifier module.
5-90. Internal horizontal signals, Sweep Generator and Character Sweep outputs, are selected on the
Scope/DVM Control module (A3). The Sweep Generator provides a sawtooth waveform to the RF Synthesizer
module for the sweep generator and spectrum analyzer functions. The sweep signal to the CRT horizontal
input causes the scope sweep to be synchronous with the synthesizer sweep for the spectrum and swept filter
response displays.
5-91. The Horizontal Character Sweep generator output is a sawtooth waveform that provides the horizontal
sweep for the raster scan character display.
5-92. One of four possible vertical signal sources are switched to the Vertical Amplifier input by a Select
Switch on the Scope/DVM Control module. The 455 kHz IF and SPECTRUM ANALYZER signals from the
Receiver Module provide the IF envelope and spectrum analyzer displays respectively. The Vertical Character
Sweep generator gives the vertical sweep for the raster scan character display. The remaining input is the path
for external vertical or modulation scope vertical inputs from the Front Panel Interface module.
5-93. A vertical preamplifier on the Interface module gives a vertical sensitivity of 10 millivolt per division and
provides positioning and vernier gain capability for its input. The amplifier is proceeded by a four decade range
attenuator which is controlled from the front panel vertical switch through the processor. The attenuator
provides external vertical input sensitivities from 0.01 to 1.0 volt per division and modulation scope sensitivities
from 0.25 to 25 kHz per division.
5-94. A Select Switch ahead of the Attenuator selects between the external vertical input or the modulation
scope inputs. The External Vertical input path is further selected between AC and DC coupling before
becoming the vertical input jack on the front panel. The modulation scope signal path is switched to one of
three possible sources on the Scope/DVM Control module. Demodulation signals from the Receiver are
selected via the DEMOD CAL AUDIO path, and frequency and amplitude modulation signals via the MOD CAL
AUDIO and CARRIER + MOD LVL signal paths respectively. The Audio Synthesizer module provides the MOD
CAL AUDIO signal while the RF Input module gives the CARRIER + MOD LVL signal.
5-95. A Z-Axis Select circuit on the Scope/DVM Control module gates either the CHARACTER GEN signal
for character displays or the retrace blanking signal from the Time Base Generator for scope displays to the ZAxis Modulator on the Scope Amplifier module.
5-96. Sinad Meter
5-97. Sinad, which is defined as the ratio of noise plus distortion to signal plus noise plus distortion, is a
measurement of the audio quality at a receiver output. Measurement of the Sinad is implemented with a 1 kHz
notch filter. For a receiver receiving a 1 kHz tone the audio output is applied to the 1 kHz notch filter. Sinad is
then the ratio of the signal power at the output of the notch filter to the signal power at the input of the notch
filter. A block diagram of the Sinad Meter is shown in figure 5-12.
5-98. The Sinad Input from the front panel is AC coupled to the range Attenuator on the Front Panel Interface
module (A12). Processor control on the Attenuator allows a wide range of input levels to be automatically
handled. The output of the Attenuator is routed to the 1 kHz Notch Filter on the Scope/DVM Control module
(A3). Detectors, comprised of fullwave rectifiers and filters, on the input and output of the notch filter
determine the respective power levels.'The DC outputs of the detectors are read by processor through the
DVM. The processor determies the ratio between the two readings and displays the Sinad.

table covers only the major failures and provides only a guide to the most probable failed module. When using
the table it is important to use the checkout procedure at paragraph 5-126 to determine the fault. The
troubleshooting table assumes that all tests prior to the failure point have been successfully completed and
thus the applicable circuits are okay.

SECTION 7
LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY (A1)
7-1. General. The low voltage power supply converts either an AC line input or a DC supply input to the DC
operating voltages required by the system. Appropriate protection circuits are incorporated within the supply
to protect both the supply and the system in vhe event of certain common malfunctions. A block diagram of the
Low Voltage Supply module is shown in figure 7-1 with its schematic shown in figure 7-2.
7-2. Input Power Control. Whenever AC power is connected to the unit the DC BUS within the supply is
supplied by the AC rectifier and filter circuitry. The AC sense circuit provides a control voltage whenever AC is
present that isolates the DC input from the DC bus and drives the front panel AC indicator.
7-3. With power on the DC buss the power supply control circuitry determines the operating mode of the
power supply. With the unit "OFF", the battery charger control circuit is turned on and the frequency standard
control and chopper generator circuits are turned off. When the unit is in"STANDBY", the chopper generator is
off and the frequency standard supply and battery charger are enabled. Finally with the unit "ON", the
frequency standard supply and the chopper generator are enabled and the battery charger is off. Thus the
battery is charged in off and standby modes, and the frequency standard operates in standby and on modes.
7-4. The voltage for the battery charger is boosted above the nominal DC bus voltage to 32 volts by the AC
boost winding. This increase in voltage is necessary for proper charge operation.
7-5. For operation from a DC input, the AC power must be removed from the unit disabling the AC sense
voltage. With the AC power removed and the unit off, no power is present on the DC bus. When the unit is
switched to the standby mode, the DC relay closes, connecting the DC input to the DC bus and the supply
voltage to the frequency standard is enabled. Then with the unit turned on the chopper generator is enabled
and normal operation occurs.
7-6. DC Output Control. Regulation of the DC output voltages is accomplished by regulating only the +5V
output. The transformer winding ratios determing the other output voltages with respect to the +5 volt output.
The +5V output is compared with a stable reference voltage and the resultant control voltage is used to
determine the on time of the pulse-width modulator, thus regulating the input voltage to the chopper circuits.
7-7. The chopper generator provides the 7.9 volt reference voltage, a 20 KHz square wave chopper drive
signal, and a 20 KHz triangle waveform output for pulse-width modulator control. The pulse-width control
comparator compares the triangle waveform with the control voltage. If the control voltage is equal to the mean
DC voltage of the triangle wave the pulse modulator has a 50% duty cycle. For control voltages above and
below the mean value the duty cycle is proportionally increased or decreased.
7-8. The filtered DC output from the pulse-width modulator is chopped through the primary of the output
transformer at the 20 KHz rate. The DC output is alternately switched between the upper half and the lower half
of the primary winding. The current through the primary center tap is detected by a current transformer and its
output used for overcurrent protection.
7-9. Protection Circuitry. The power supply is protected against shorted outputs, high internal
temperatures, and low or high DC buss voltages. In each case the protection circuit pulls the control voltage
line to ground to open up the pulse-width modulator and shut down the supply.
7-1
7-10. Short circuit protection is implemented by monitoring the current in the primary winding of theoutput
transformer. If a secondary output is shorted the primary current will increase significantly causing the
overcurrent detector to pull the control line low shutting down the supply. However, with the supply shut down
primary current will cease and the overcurrent detector will release the control line. With the control line
released the supply will come back on. If the short is still present the cycle will repeat itself. Delay is provided in
the overcurrent detector so that with a shorted output the supply cycles at about a 0.5 second rate.
7-11. Overtemperature protection is obtained by using a thermal switch mounted on the most heat critical
capacitor. If the capacitors temperature exceeds the temperature setting of the thermal switch, the switch
closes to ground shorting the control line and shutting down the supply. Normal operation of the supply will be
resumed when the temperature returns to a safe operating level.
7-12. Protection for high or low DC and AC line inputs is provided by monitoring the voltage on the DC Bus. If
the bus voltage exceeds 20 volts or if the voltage falls below 10 volts, the shutdown circuitry pulls the control
line to ground shutting down the supply. When the bus voltage returns to normal limits, supply operation
automatically resumes.
7-13. High Voltage Supply Control. A 12 volt regulator from the DC BUS provides the bias voltage for the
High Voltage Power Supply (AIO). The primary power for the High Voltage Supply comes from the high
voltage control circuitry. A control line from the high voltage supply regulates the input voltage to the high
voltage transformer. The current used in the high voltage supply is the bias current for the pulse width
modulator circuitry for improved power supply efficiency.
