Chapter 2 Design and Characteristics2099.9595.72 - 2.22 - E-21.6.2 Directional CouplerFig. 26 Directional couplerThe forward and reflected power are detected at the transmitter output by means of the fre-quency-compensated directional couplers P14A (forward) and P14B (reflected). The fre-quency-compensated directional couplers send a power-proportional DC voltage to theNETCCU® transmitter control unit via the integrated rectifier circuit. The DC voltages for theforward and reflected values are displayed in the NETCCU® and also used as an S-mea-surement for VSWR monitoring (reflection antenna).Directional coupler P14C is an unassigned test point that can be used either as a forwardor reflected power test point. The P14D rectifier is used in the digital TV transmitter in connection with option ADE only.Note The transmitter is switched off because of reflection if the reflected value exceeds 2% of theforward value after being checked three times.

Chapter 2 Design and Characteristics2099.9595.72 - 2.24 - E-2Harmonics filter FM 825 suppresses harmonics. It is set up as a Chebyschev filter of the11th order using coaxial design for the 13-30 line system. In the signal path, the harmonicsfilter is located directly after the combiner.Note The harmonics filter is lacquered in order to reduce the surface temperature, but high tem-peratures are nevertheless to be expected. 1.8 RF ConnectorFig. 29 RF connectorThe RF connector (1 5/8“ EIA flange) is located on the transmitter roof (or under it if pre-ferred).
