1.6 System Description

The DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS Digital Diversity Receiver (Figure

1-1) is a high performance, cost-effective COFDM receiver suit-

able for public safety, government, and homeland security operations. The receiver is an ideal choice for applications that require hands-off antenna diversity.

Figure 1-1 DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS Receiver - Typical

The receiver consists of a 2RU high, rack-mountable, digital microwave receiver that supports either two or six antenna inputs. All functions can be operated from the front control panel. The receiver uses the latest maximal ratio combining (MaxRC)

technology to optimize the quality of the transmitted signal. The receiver supports Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) demodulation, and MPEG decoding in standard definition (SD).

The receiver operates on 100 to 260 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. An auto-sensing circuit detects actual line voltage.

You can readily monitor current settings with the front control panel or change system parameters using the keypad and the control panel. Frequently used settings can be saved in one of 50 presets. A video monitor offers a display of live video.

Introduction 1-3DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS User and Technical Manual

In a typical system, each antenna is connected to a separate low-noise block downconverter (BDC) by a short cable or direct N-Type connector. The converters output a UHF signal through coaxial cable to UHF input ports at the rear of the receiver. The receiver and downconverters may be separated by up to 600 feet (183 m), depending on frequency and cable type.

Incoming signals and downconverter power travel on the same cable using BiasT interfaces in both the converter and the receiver. The receiver samples the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) from all antennas, constructing an optimized signal from one or more signals. High quality RG-6 or RG-11, 75-ohm coaxial cable should be used to connect the receiver and downconverters.

The COFDM demodulator and SD MPEG decoder support standard Digital Video Broadcast-Terrestrial (DVB-T) 2K operation.

A typical configuration is shown in Figure 1-2 on page 1-4.

1.7 Features

The receiver offers the following features:

• Two antenna inputs (DVB-T, DRS2000HS Receiver only)

• Up to six antenna inputs (DVB-T, DRS6000HS Receiver only)

• Maximal ratio combining (MaxRC) diversity technology

• Supports DVB-T demodulation technology

• Front panel live video monitor

• Real-time front panel monitoring for Signal-to-Noise (SNR), Link Quality signal integrity (LQ), Receive Carrier Level (RCL), and Bit Error Rate (BER)

• Embedded real-time operating system accessible via

front panel control screen

• Up to 50 programmable presets (saved settings) using the receiver control panel

• Rack Mountable, compact EIA 19-inch rack, 2 RU height

• Supports 6, 7, and 8 MHz COFDM/DVB-T pedestals

• Internal web server for remote management via a networked computer

• Band plans can be customized

• Compatible with MRC and Link Research low-noise block downconverters. See “Block Downconverter Options” on

page 1-6 for options.

1.8 Hardware Components

A typical installation consists of a receiver, low-noise block downconverters, filters, antennas, and cables.

1.8.1 Receiver

The DRS2000HS accepts 2 antenna inputs and the DRS6000HS accepts 6 antenna inputs.

USB Connector The USB 2.0 connector allows you to install firmware updates from MRC via a flash drive.

ETHERNET Connector The RJ-45 ETHERNET connector allows you to connect the receiver to a computer and use the receiver’s web browser interface to control the receiver.

MONITOR The MONITOR screen is a 3.5-inch diagonal LCD color monitor that provides a live view of the incoming video signal. The video monitor is typically blank when there is no incoming video signal.

If, for any reason, the receiver should lose the incoming signal, the monitor will display either a freeze frame or a blank screen.

Control Menu The Control menu reports real-time data for the video signal and shows current RF settings. The Control menu also displays menus used to change system settings.

Keypad The keypad consists of easy-to-use push buttons that provide access to system parameters and settings. See

“Keypad Operation” on page 2-6 for details.

2.2.2 Rear Panel Connectors

The rear panel contains the connectors for power, diversity inputs and outputs, and audio outputs.

The rear panel provides numerous inputs to and outputs from the receiver. These inputs and outputs are as follows.

BDC 1 thru BDC 6 Connectors The TNC block downconverter (BDC) connectors accept UHF signals from the downconverters and their corresponding antennas. BDC 3 thru BDC 6 connectors are not contained on the DRS2000HS Receiver.

To power each downconverter, +18.5 VDC is applied to the coaxial cable that runs from the BDC connector to the downconverter.

WAYSIDE DATA Connector The WAYSIDE DATA, 9-pin female connector is used for transfer of data such as global positioning satellite (GPS) data or metadata from the MPEG decoder. By using a standard RS-232 cable, the receiver’s WAYSI DE DATA connector can be connected to a computer or an auto-tracking antenna system.

ALARM Connector The ALARM DB-15 female connector connects to single-pole single throw (SPST) switches for summary alarm data for common faults and events and for site management control. One SPST switch is for a minor alarm, one SPST switch is for a major alarm, and four SPST switches are for site management.

ASI OUT Connector The ASI OUT, 75 ohm, female BNC connector provides ASI outputs for digital video and audio distribution.

CV 1 and CV 2 Connectors The Composite Video CV 1 and CV 2, 75 ohm, female BNC connectors provide analog video

signals.

2.3 Preparing for Operation

The procedures required to operate the DRS2000HS/ DRS6000HS receiver are contained in the following paragraphs. The color LCD Control menu and the keypad are used to control all features of the receiver.

2.3.1 Installation

The DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS receiver is typically mounted in a 19-inch (48.3 cm) rack. The unit and cabling are permanently installed and power comes from facility power.

For additional information, refer to the “Installation” Chapter on

page 4-1.

2.3.2 Powering the Receiver

The following paragraphs provide steps to power up and power down the receiver. If the receiver is installed at an unattended central receive site, then it typically stays powered up for extended periods of time.

When the power switch is set to on ( I ), the video monitor will initially display a blank screen and the Control menu will display color bars, a logo screen, and finally the Control menu. The settings displayed when the Control menu is displayed will be the settings in effect when the unit was last powered down.

Power Up

To power up the receiver, perform the following steps.

1. Verify that the power cable is connected to the

POWER connector on the rear panel of the receiver and is connected to an AC power source.

2. Verify that all coaxial cables and cable connectors are

properly connected to the front and rear panel connectors, as required.

3. Verify that the AC power source is turned on.

Note

When power is set to on in the following step, the settings displayed will be those in effect when the receiver was powered down.

If there is no incoming signal, the RCL, SNR, and Link Qual indicators will display their lowest values or no values.

For a DRS6000HS Receiver with six incoming signals, the RCL, SNR, and Link Qual indicators alternate between the A-B-C-D inputs and the E-F inputs.

4. Set the power switch on the front panel to on ( I ).

- The video monitor displays a blank screen.

- The Control menu goes through a power-up cycle

consisting of color bars, a product ID screen, and finally the initial Control menu, as shown in Figure 2-2

4.5 Installing the DRS2000HS/ DRS6000HS

Each installation or deployment will have its own specific tasks according to the application and installed hardware. The following sections describe mounting and cabling the DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS system.

The DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS Receiver is typically mounted in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) rack. The cabling is permanently installed and power comes from the facility or site power source.

4.5.1 Site Preparation

The following requirements are designed to make initial installation easier and to allow room for future access and servicing.

Equipment Rack The receiver mounts to the mounting rails of a standard EIA 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack. Each unit occupies 2 rack units (2RU) of height.

CAUTION

Do not overload the rack or load it unevenly. Secure the rack to a solid surface.

• Make certain that the rack and mounting rails are strong and rigid enough to support all the equipment in the rack.

• The rack should be securely attached to a solid surface such as a floor or wall to prevent movement or tipping over.

• Position the rack to allow easy access to the front and rear of the equipment.

• Be sure to allow room behind the equipment rack for the many cables required. The cables should not be pressed against the rear of the equipment when closing doors. This will stress the cables and may shorten their life.

4.5.2 Mounting the DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS

Mounting the DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS receiver into an equipment rack is easier if one person holds the unit while another person installs the mounting screws.

WARNING

Follow instructions carefully. Do not place the equipment on an unstable support such as a cart, stand, or table. The equipment could fall and cause equipment damage or cause personnel injury.

Installation 4-3DRS2000HS/6000HS User and Technical Manual

Note

When installing components, leave 1RU of space between them for ventilation.

Use the following steps to set up the components at each receive site.

1. Line up the mounting holes on the receiver front panel with the mounting holes on the rack as shown in

3. Install the top two screws. Use lock washers to prevent loosening. Tighten securely.

4. Make sure the POWER switch is set off ( O ). Connect the power cable to the POWER connector on the rear panel and connect the other end to the facility AC power source.

Ventilation

CAUTION

Temperatures inside a closed mounting area can be significantly higher than the ambient temperature. Always allow adequate ventilation.

• If possible, install components in a climate-controlled

area.

• Installation should allow adequate airflow around the

equipment. Exhaust air from the rack should be circulated and mixed with room air, not trapped in a closed space.

• When mounting components in an enclosed rack, it is

good practice to allow 1 RU (1.75 inches or 4.45 cm) of space between each component.

• When mounting the receiver in an enclosed rack with

other equipment, it is good practice to allow spaces at the top and bottom of the rack and to fill those spaces with grillwork instead of blank panels.

Moisture

Locate the equipment in an area protected from dripping water or excessive humidity.

Installation 4-4DRS2000HS/6000HS User and Technical Manual

WARNING

Indoor equipment is not designed to withstand water or moisture. If water does penetrate the chassis, it could cause equipment damage and/ or create a safety hazard.

Cabling

Wiring is subject to extremes of temperature, humidity, and vibration. MRC recommends the following general practices be performed at all installations.

CAUTION

Be sure the power being supplied matches the power required by the equipment.

CAUTION

Power supply cords and cables must be protected. Do not run cords where they can be stepped on. Protect cables against pinching and chafing. Pay special attention to locations where the cables enter or exit an enclosure or make a sharp bend.

CAUTION

Ensure that the electrical supply is protected by over-current protection devices as required by the applicable electrical codes.

• Secure all cables at close intervals along their entire lengths.

• Protect cabling with added sheathing or padding

anywhere cabling passes through a hole or lies against an obstruction.

• Provide flex relief at any location where the cable must change direction sharply, to maintain a smooth bend and prevent kinking.

• Provide strain relief at each connector to absorb any pulling forces on the cable and prevent damage to the connector.

4.6 Power Connections

4.6.1 Power Requirements

The DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS Receiver has the following power requirements.

Supply Voltage: 120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz

4.6.2 Power Supply and Distribution

AC power is supplied externally, from the facility power source. Power is distributed to the unit through the rear panel AC POWER connector.

Power Connections MRC supplies an AC power cable with each receiver.

Additional Powering Notes Check the electrical source to be sure it can provide all the power needed at the site without overloading. Power ratings for equipment can be found on a rating plate, usually on the rear panel. If necessary, consult a licensed electrician.

Installation 4-5DRS2000HS/6000HS User and Technical Manual

CAUTION

Be sure the power being supplied matches the power required by the equipment.

CAUTION

Ensure that the electrical supply is protected by over-current protection devices as required by the applicable electrical codes.

4.7 Grounding

For safe operation, all equipment must be properly grounded.

• Connect all equipment on a rack to a common ground.

• Connect the common ground to a site ground.

• The ground wire should be as short as possible, and follow the straightest path possible.

CAUTION

Be sure the equipment grounding follows applicable electrical codes.

CAUTION

Never modify a grounded power plug to connect to an ungrounded receptacle.

4.8 Testing the Antennas

All antennas for your configuration are tested at the factory to ensure proper operation. Before installing them on a tower, mast, or building at the receive site, you should test them on the ground to ensure that they are operating properly.

CAUTION

Test each antenna on the ground before mounting it on a tower or building.

CAUTION

Verify that all packing material has been removed from the antenna.

To test one or more antennas, follow these steps.

1. Set each antenna, block downconverters (BCDs), and the receiver on a work table.

2. Connect an RF cable between an antenna and a BCD. Repeat this until all antennas and BCDs are connected. Refer to Figure 4-2 on page 4-6 for connections details.

3. Connect a UHF cable from each BCD to a BCD connector at the rear of the receiver. For example, for a four antenna system, use the BCD1, BCD2, BCD3, and BCD4 connectors.

6. Power up the receiver and use the Setup menu to configure it to the same settings as for the transmitter. Refer to “Routine Operation” on page 2-1 for details.

7. For the receiver, also verify the Factory Setup menu. Make sure that the Number of Inputs and BCD Type are correctly set for your configuration.

8. Set the transmitter to Low Power Transmit mode.

9. Verify that the control screen on the receiver displays a receive carrier level (RCL), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and Link Quality reading for each antenna. This indicates that the antenna is feeding the signal to the receiver.

10. At the end of testing, power down all equipment and disconnect all cables in preparation for installation.

4.9 Installing Antennas and Block Downconverters

To feed the incoming signal to the receiver, you need to properly install the antennas, downconverters, and associated cabling.

4.9.1 Cabling Practices

To install cabling for optimum performance and ensure minimal maintenance, MRC recommends the following general practices:

CAUTION

Do not run cables where they can be walked on. Protect cables against pinching and chafing, especially at locations where the cables enter or exit an enclosure or make a sharp bend.

Installation 4-7DRS2000HS/6000HS User and Technical Manual

CAUTION

Do not install near a UHF transmitter, as the high signal level will be received by the UHF cable as though it is an antenna and will cause the DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS receiver to operate improperly or not at all.

• Secure the cabling at close intervals along its entire length.

• Protect the cabling with added sheathing or padding if it passes through a hole or lays against an obstruction.

• Provide flex relief at any location where the cable must change direction sharply, to maintain a smooth bend and prevent kinking.

• Provide strain relief at each connector to absorb any pulling forces on the cable and prevent damage to the connector.

4.9.2 Selecting Coaxial Cables

For applications where you must connect the downconverters via coaxial cables, use high quality 75 ohm UHF cable and use the shortest lengths possible to prevent UHF signal loss. If long lengths of cable are required, a UHF amplifier or gain block may be required. Contact MRC for specific cable types and lengths to use in your application.

If you do not connect the antennas directly to the downconverters, you will have to fabricate your own antenna mounting bracket. Remember that the distance between each pair of antennas is critical for optimum performance.

4.9.3 Aligning Omnidirectional Antennas

For applications using omnidirectional antennas, proper installation of the antennas will result in optimum performance. In all installations, the minimum distance between any two antennas is important.

Table 4-1 provides minimum separation distances for several

frequency ranges available with the receiver. This is the minimum recommended distance between any two antennas.

Table 4-1: Minimum Separation Distances for Antennas

Also, the antennas must be plumb (vertical) for best performance. The relative height of the antennas should be the same but is not critical. For example, if the antennas are

mounted on a tower or a mast, the antennas must be mounted vertically (all parallel to each other) and mounted at a similar height on the tower or mast.

The separation distance between the antennas must be measured from the center lines of the antennas as shown in

Figure 4-3. You should initially install the antennas at the

recommended minimum separation distance. If necessary, increase the distance by quarter wavelengths.

Figure 4-3: Antenna Separation and Alignment

4.9.4 Installing Block Downconverters and Antennas

Each low-noise block downconverter (BCD) assembly includes a block downconverter, universal pole mounting bracket, and a heavy duty band clamp. The BCDs can be installed either on a horizontal or a vertical pole assembly.

MRC recommends attaching the downconverter directly to the

antenna. When you attach the antennas directly to the BCD RF INPUT connectors, then you must mount the antennas in the same physical plane, that is, one antenna should not be tilted with respect to the other antenna. See Figure 4-3.

To install the BCDs on a mounting pole when the antennas are connected directly to the BCDs, perform the following steps for each pair of antennas and BCDs:

1. Fasten the first BCD onto the mounting pole and secure it firmly in position using the mounting bracket and heavy duty band clamp. See Figure 4-4.

Figure 4-4: Mounting Downconverter on Pole

2. Connect the first antenna securely to the BCD RF INPUT connector.

3. Determine the minimum separation distance between the two antennas per Tab l e 4-1 on page 4-7.

4. Loosely fasten the second BCD to the mounting pole using the heavy duty band clamp. Make sure that the BCD is approximately at the correct separation distance.

5. Connect the second antenna securely to the second BCD’s RF INPUT connector.

6. Adjust the second antenna so it is parallel to the other antenna and separated by the minimum recommended distance.

7. Securely fasten the second BCD to the mounting pole.

8. Connect each BCD to the receiver using high quality UHF cables.

9. Repeat these steps for the next pair of antennas.

Note

Signal quality will degrade if the antennas are installed closer than the recommended minimum separation distance.

The separation distance between the antennas will require fine tuning for optimum performance. Always start at the minimum recommended distance the antennas should be adjusted in quarter wavelength increments, as shown in Ta b le 4-1 on

page 4-7.

6.1 System Architecture

The DRS2000HS provides two-channel input while the DRS6000HS provides up to six-channel input. Both receivers are COFDM diversity systems that can support DVB-T COFDM signals. Both receivers are designed to support Standard Definition (SD) decoding.

Within the system architecture of the DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS are several key components, as shown in Figure 6-1 on page 6-

2. The standard version product consists of the following

functional modules:

• Block downconverters

• Six-input channel tuner/COFDM diversity module

• MPEG decoder module

• Processor module

• Interface module

• AC to DC power supply.

The following sections discuss the technical aspects of each of these modules.

6.1.1 Block Downconverters

The block downconverters can be mounted on towers or buildings or they can be directly connected to antennas. The receiver supports BDCs that operate in the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 GHz ranges.

Theory of Operation 6-3DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS User and Technical Manual

Each BDC operates by mixing a Local Oscillator (LO) signal together with the incoming RF signal and producing a UHF output signal in the range of 110 to 860 MHz. The incoming signal is filtered and then amplified by a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and is sent along to the mixer. See Figure 6-2 for a functional block diagram of the block downconverter circuitry.

Figure 6-2: Block Diagram of Downconverter

The LO generates either a lower or a higher frequency (depending upon the BDC’s operating band) using a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) synthesizer. The 2 GHz BDCs use a low-side local oscillator (its frequency is on the low side of the RF band) while the 7 GHz BDCs use a high-side local oscillator. The synthesizer’s frequency is fixed and programmed via the onboard micro-controller. This LO frequency is then amplified and filtered to reduce spurious signals before being applied to the mixer.

In the mixer, the incoming RF signal is mixed with the LO signal resulting in a signal equal to the difference between the two signals. This signal is then amplified and low-pass filtered to remove the signal representing the sum of the two signals.

Regulated DC power (+8.5 or +18.5 VDC) for the BDCs is supplied via the BDC connectors on the same UHF cable that carries output from the BDCs.

6.1.2 COFDM Diversity Demodulator

The COFDM diversity demodulator contains the Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) demodulation and diversity reception circuitry.

The IF signal is processed by the main demodulator integrated circuits (ICs). The COFDM demodulator automatically detects the key parameters of the incoming signal via the TPS information and configures it accordingly.

These parameters include Modulation Type, Forward Error Correction (FEC), Guard Interval (GI), and Spectrum Inversion (SI). Only the bandwidth of the signal (6, 7, or 8 MHz) and the receive channel and frequency need to be specified by the user.

The Diversity demodulator takes advantage of the spatial antennas diversity provided by its six demodulators coupled with six independent antennas, to provide reliable reception even in the worst RF situations experienced at transmission sites, Electronic News Gathering vehicles (ENG), or mobile applications.

The receiver includes 6 sets of RF tuners and DVB-T demodulators that are used in a diversity way. It supports all DVB-T modes and can operate in VHF and UHF bands for channel spacings of 6 MHz, 7 MHz, or 8 MHz. The MPEG transport stream is presented as a serial ASI interface.

The demodulator has been especially designed for mobile, portable and fixed applications by using special features for difficult environments that improve significantly their reception:

Theory of Operation 6-4DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS User and Technical Manual

• High performance digital input filter

• Digital automatic frequency correction allowing ± 350 KHz offset recovery.

Each COFDM demodulator, once locked on to an incoming signal, can provide important signal performance measurements such as:

• Received Carrier Level (RCL)

• Link Quality (LQ)

• Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).

You can view these measurements in real-time via the receiver’s Control menu.

6.1.3 MPEG Decoder Module

The MPEG decoder module supports SD video. It has two composite video output ports.

The decoder module accepts a digital ASI signal from the COFDM diversity demodulator and recovers the compressed video (either NTSC or PAL) and/or audio signals.

Additional features provided by the MPEG decoder module include a serial wayside data channel, AES, and BISS decryption capabilities.

6.1.4 Processor Module

The Processor Module is an embedded computer that manages OAM&P (Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning) functionality within the DRS2000HS/DRS6000HS. The Processor Module receives user input via a keypad on the front panel of the receiver and through a network interface.

Software running on the Processor Module’s microprocessor interprets user commands and relays them to the receiver’s

internal subsystems. Replies to user commands and system status are output via an LCD screen on the front panel of the receiver and through a network interface. Connections to other DRS4000 internal subsystems are made by serial communications channels.

The Processor Module contains an integrated USB 2.0compliant Host controller that supports low- and full-speed data transfers for firmware upgrade purposes only. High-speed transfer is not supported, nor are USB On-the-Go (OTG) devices (USB devices that do not need a PC to communicate). A USB connector on the front panel allows for firmware upgrades via a flash drive.

This module also contains a web server for remote management via a PC’s web browser. The web server is accessed through the RJ-45 Ethernet connector.

6.1.5 Interface Module

The Interface Module provides an interface for external alarms mechanisms attached to the DRS.

The Interface Module accepts a composite video signal from the MPEG Decoder and generates two copies of it. The Interface Module also contains an independent, dual-channel RS-232 transceiver.

6.1.6 Power Supply

The power supply accepts a range of AC input voltages from 105 to 260 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. The power supply provides the DC voltages required by the rest of the receiver’s hardware. Typical output voltages are +24 VDC, +5 VDC, +12 VDC, and -12 VDC.

The AC receptacle is protected by a pair of 2 amp fuses.
