Circuit Diagrams
For safe operation of the VHF Ground Station TG660, follow the instructions below:
Stay always in a sufficient distance to the antenna avoiding been exposed to higher RF radiation
during TX operation.
Perform a voice communication test before start-up. This test might be positive, if carried out close to the
corresponding radio-station, even if the antenna cable is broken or short-circuited. It will not be possible to
establish communication over a distance of 5 to 10 km in this case.
Speak loud to the microphone and keep it always close to the lips, otherwise ambient noise can be intrusive
and make understanding difficult.
Use only microphones or headsets, which are suitable for ground-stations. Incoming radiation on the
equipment antenna can affect the integrated amplifier of the microphone (feedback). This is noticeable in the
station by whistling and/or heavy distortion. The described disturbances can occur in different ways on
different transmit channels.
Transmit buttons can stick, or TX line is short circuited thus causing continuous carrier signal on the active
channel. Therefore ensure that the display (sign “”) disappeared when the “TX” button was released.

1.2
The TG660 connects to High Voltage power supply!
Only qualified personnel shall perform installation work.
Always disconnect mains cable before gaining access to the inside of the TG660.
Purpose of Equipment
The TG660 is a fixed station for voice communications in the VHF frequency range of 118.000 MHz
to 136.990 MHz with 25 kHz / 8.33 kHz channel spacing in the standard version.
The transceiver TG660, designed for ATC operations, is useable on airports with different scale as a main
transceiver, or as a standby unit, as well as for special tasks within the scope of air traffic control.

General System Description
The VHF transceiver TG660 specially designed for mounting in 19-inch rack systems, or in an ATC desk.
The unit operates in an AC supply voltage range from 100 V...230 V ± 10% / 50...60 Hz or with
24 VDC, +20% - 10%.
The TG660 power supply logic is operating with AC-power by default. After AC-power failed, the logic
automatically switches over to DC-power. The moment AC-power becomes available the logic returns back
to AC-power source.
An optional internal 12 VDC battery inside the TG660, if installed, provide power to continue operation over a
certain time if AC and DC supply voltage fail at the same time.
Depending on the version, the TG660s are capable of delivering up to 6W, 10W, 25W or 50W RF power
output (RF-carrier) to an external antenna via
a 50Ω coaxial RF-cable.
The station has a simple user-friendly HMI; the main components on its front panel are the 2-line 16
character liquid-crystal display (LCD) and several control elements (rotating knob and buttons). The selected
frequency and operating status of the equipment, displayed on the LCD, inform about the current operating
mode. Control elements (knob, buttons) enable the user to change operating modes or operating frequency.
Standby switch selected to “Standby” partially shuts down the TG660 internal power supply. Some circuitry
of the power supply continue listening to the “Standby Switch” to repower the unit at any time. The “ON/OFF”
switch, located on the rear panel, disconnects from AC supply completely.
Fig. 1 - 1 Front side
The VHF transceiver TG660 is available in a 6W, 10W, 25W or 50W transmit power version.
An antenna mismatch of ≥ 4:1, detected on the transmitter output terminal, cause automatic output power
reduction to 40 % of the declared nominal TX power.
The VHF transceiver is protected against jammed transmit button or short circuit on the PTT line. Factory
setting of the time limit to release a “stuck PTT” is 2 minutes.

1.3.1
Microphone Inputs
Several microphone inputs are available for the following types:



Standard microphone unbalanced, DC coupled and providing power supply for the mike,
Dynamic mike input balanced and
Symmetrical line input.
These microphone inputs connect to a dynamic volume compressor inside of the remote controlled
transceiver, which keeps the modulation voltage constant ≥ 80% over a wide mike-signal input voltage
range.
1.3.2
Audio outputs
The TG660 has four different outputs:

Headphone output

Speaker output (speaker is switched off in transmit mode)

Line out

Voice recorder
The headphone output level provide 100mW @ 600Ω. The rated loudspeaker output power is ≥ 4W sin @
4Ω. The LINE_OUT – AF output nominal output level is zero (0) dBm @ 600Ω. The levels on headphone
and speaker output are adjustable by means of the volume potentiometer within the range -20...+10 dBm.
The voice recorder output level is – 6 dBm @ 600Ω balanced.
1.3.3
Side tone output
In transmit mode, the side tone signal is routed to the line and phone output.
1.3.4
TG660 internal Sub Modules
The “Control Board”, located behind the front panel of the TG660, consists of the LC Display and all the
Human Machine Interface (HMI) (e.g. Keypad, Function Switches and the Volume Control). All changes
made from the “Control Board“ are transferred to the “Interface Board” on which a microcontroller exchanges
control information with the remote control transceiver like change of frequency, volume adjustment, “SQL”
on/off and other parameters of the equipment. The microcontroller on the “Interface Board” handles the serial
communication interfaces and by means of a Remote Control Unit which provide all settings of operating
parameters on the VHF transceiver TG660. (Web Browser via IP)
The loudspeaker, located behind the front panel, switch off automatically during TX. This avoids acoustic
coupling between loudspeaker and the microphone, which can cause acoustical feedback.
The RF power amplifier is located in the center of the chassis behind the front panel. The PA3-2AB-AIR-1
model is a mobile Air Band AM VHF RF power amplifier which can deliver 25 watts or 50 watt (depending on
the TG660-(XX) version) of RF power when driven with 8/10 watts and it will cover the frequency range from
118 - 138 MHz. The amplifier’s dimensions are: 7.5”L x 2.2”H x 3.7”W.

instructions thus apply only in a general way.
CAUTION
Only qualified and authorized personnel shall perform the installation the TG660.
2.1.2
Pre-installation check
When unpacking the goods inspect all deliveries in respect to be free from any damage that might occur
during transport and check in accordance with the delivery note completeness of the whole ship-set.
2.2
Mechanical installation in a 19-inch equipment rack
The design of the TG660 is compliant to install requirements in standard 19-inch rack or in ATC desk.
2.3
Thermal considerations
When powered, the TG660 generates only limited heating, thus requiring no specific cooling system (e.g.
forced cooling). However, consider sufficient space for convection at installations in a rack or a controller
desk.
2.4
Electrical installation of the TG660
WARNING
115 or 230 VAC is main supply voltage for the TG 660.
