SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
2.1 HIE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
Field alignment should not be required before the
3492 is installed. However, it is still good practice to
check the performance to ensure that no damage
occurred during shipment. Performance tests are
located in Section 6.2.
2.2 INTERFACING WlTI-I DATA EQUIPMENT
2.2.1 DM3492 (RF Board)
Connector 1201 on the data transceiver PC board
provides the interface with the data equipment. This is
a l4-pin female connector with 025" square pins on
0.1" centers (Dupont 76308-1 14). The cable (Part No.
023-3472—007) is not included with file data trans-
ceiver. An interface cable diagram and pin designa—
tions are shown in Figure 2-l.
The following is a general description of the
input and output signals on Transceiver Interface con-
nector 120] .
Pin 1 (Ground) - Chassis pound.
Pin 2 (+13.BV DC) - Input, transceiver main power.
Input range 10-16V DC with $3 dB variation in output

board regulators. To be used as a power save mode.
Pin 6 (Mod In) - Provides a response of 12 dB from
DC to 5 kHz across the RF band (referenced to
1 kHz). It is programmable to 1 dB with the diagiostic
DAC. The modulation capability is 250 mV RMS
13 dB that produces is kHz deviation with a l kHz
tone. When this input is used, a temperature compen-
sated 2.5V DC bias is required as variations in voltage
cause the frequency to change. The transceiver regula-
tory compliance must be applied for with the customer
supplied modulation limiting/filtercircuit and chassis.
Pin 7 (Synth Lock) - Output from synthesizer lock de-
tect circuit. bow (< 1V DC) = unlocked, high (>2.5V
DC) = locked.
Pin 8 (Synth En) - TTL input. Latch enable signal for
synthesizer. 250 ns min. for D, C and B words; 3 ms
min. for A0 word. A rising edge latches the data loaded
into the synthesizer IC..
Pin 9 (Data) - TTL input. Serial data line used for pro-
gramming the synthesizer and diagnostic functions.
Pin 10 (Synth Clock) - ‘ITL input. Clock signal for se—
rial data input on Pin 9. Data is valid on the rising edge.
1 MHz max. frequency.
Pin 11 (Ding En) - TTL input. Loads programmed
DAC values into DAC (U900) for modulation adjust
and power set. Also provides the strobe signal for shifi
register (u901) for selecting Forward and Reverse pow-
er diagnostics. 250 ns min. activates on rising edge.
Pin 12 (R581) - Analog output (0.5-2V DC). The Re-
ceive Signal Strength Indicator output provides a volt-
age that increases in proportion to the strength of the
RF input signal.
Pin 13 (Denied) -- Analog output. The Receiver De-
mod output level is 150 mV RMS with a modulation
signal of 1 kHz at 6056 of maximum deviation. The out~
put is DC coupled and referenced to +2.5V DC. Load
impedance should be >10k ohms.
Pin 14 (Ding) - Analog Output This pin is enabled by
pin 1 1. When the Loader board is used it has the capa-
bility to test the operating environment through diag-
nostics. The diagnostic capabilities are in Section 1.2.2

SECTION 3 PROGRAMMING
3.1 INTRODUCTION
DM3492 - The information in Section 3.2
describes synthesizer programming protocol. This
information can be used as a basis for designing the
synthesizer programming hardware and sofiware
required.
3.2 DM3492 SYNTHESIZER DATA PROTOCOL
3.2.1 GENERAL
The 928-960 MHz band is divided into two scg~
ments for the purp05e of reducing VCO gain. The
"LOW“ band covers the 928-944 MHz segment and
the "HIGH" band covers the 944-960 MHz segment.
The VCO band selection is accomplished by capaci-
tive pin-switching. The band switching is imple-
mented in both the transmit and receive modes. The
front—end filters and transmitter line—up cover the
entire 928‘960 MHZ band without adjustment.

3.2.2 SYNTHESIZER DATA
In order to implement the band selection and
Tx/Rx frequency shift mentioned in Section 3.2.1, an
additional shifi register was added to the synthesizer
section. Therefore, an additional 8 Bits of data are
added to each of the synthesizer load words (D/C/B/
A0) as shown in the serial data stream in Figure 3-1.
3.2.3 D-WORD CALCULATION (24 BITS)
The D-Word programs the Main, Reference and

uencies between the band edgesi With these recom-
mended values of CN, the transceiver should have the

3.2.6 AO-WORD CALCULATION (24 BITS)
The AO-Word is sent last (see Figure 3»5). The
AO-Word contains the data for the loop dividers and is
programmed on a channel-by-channel basis. The
Functional-N (NF) word is a 3 bit word that programs
the synthesizer to the fractional steps determined by
the fractional modulus selection flag (I = modulus 8)
and the loop comparison frequency (50 kHz). The fre-
quency resolution (i.e. step size) is then 50 kHz + 8 =
6425 kHz.
NF=* Fractional increment for modulus 8 (3 hits)
NM1=' Number of main divider cycles when
prescaler modulus equals 64 (12 bits)
NM2=' Number of main divider cycles when
prescaler modulus equals 65 (4 bits, PR=IO)
NM3=‘ Number of main divider cycles when
prescaler modulus equals 72 (4 bits, PR=10)
' Indicates frequency/channel dependent variable
EXAMPLE: To program an 1875 kHz channel:
NF=18.75 kHz-+625 kHz
NF=3
NMI, NM2 and NM3 are calculated as follows:
N=(NM1+2)x64+NM2x65+(NM3 +I)x72
Where:
N = Total division ratio
NMl = Number of main divider cycles when
prescaler modulus equals 64
NM2 = Number of main divider cycles when
prescaler modulus equals 65
NM3 = Number of main divider cycles when
prescaler modulus equals 72
Example:
Calculate NM], NM2 and NM3 to Rx 944.150 MHz

for 2 to 3 milliseconds after the last word is sent.
This puts the frequency synthesizer in a SPEEDUP
MODE and slightly improves lock times then the
Synth Enable should be returned to a low state.
4. Afier the last word is strobed in, 7 milliseconds
(worst case) should elapse before TX_F.N is turned
ON. This allows the synthesizer to come within
1 kHz of the desired frequency.

"Ramp-Up" is the amount of time required for
the transmitter to reach full power once the TX EN
has been applied. The Ramp—Up circuitry (located on
the transceiver) minimizes adjacent channel interfer-
ence caused by spectral spreading (sinx/x) when the
transmitter is keyed. The Ramp-Up time is approxi-
mately 3 ms.

1. TX_EN is turned OFF. This signal is shaped.
Refer to Figure 3-9.
2. The synthesizer load process could begin slightly
before, but when the last bit is strobed in the synthe-
sizer it will become unlocked.
3. The RX_EN line should switch from low to high
AFTER the TX_EN is switched. The RX_EN not
only tums the RX circuits on but also Pin Shifis the
VCO.

thesizer in the SPEEDUP mode has poor noise pep
fonnnnce and would degrade the Receive

SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
4.1 GENERAL
4.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The main subassemblies of this transceiver are
the RF board, VCO board, TCXO, Loader board or
Modem. A block diagram of the transceiver is located
in Figure 4-1. The 3492 is also available in Transmit
only and Receive only models.
The 3492 has a reference oscillator stability of
$1.5 PPM. The 17.5 MHz TCXO (Temperature Com-
pensawd Crystal Oscillator) is soldered directly to the
RF board. The TCXO is not serviceable.
4.1.2 SYNTHESIZER
The VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) output
signal is the receiver first injection frequency in the
Receive mode and the transmit frequency in the
Trans-nit mode. The first injection frequency is
87.35 MHz below the receive frequency The tie-
quency of this oscillator is controlled by a DC voltage
produced by the phase detector in synthesizer chip
U800.
Channels are selected by programming counters
in USCG to divide by a certain number. This program-
ming is performed over a serial bus formed by the
Synth Clock, Synth Enable, and Data pins of 1201.
This programming is performed by the Loader board,
modem or user supplied hardware and software (see
Section 3).
The frequency stability of the synthesizer in both
the receive and transmit modes is established by the
stability of the TCXO. The TCXO is stable over a
temperature range of -30° to +60‘7 C (-22° to +I40" F).
4—1
4.1.3 RECEIVER
The receiver is a double-conversion type with
intermediate frequencies of 87.85 MHz / 450 kHz.
Bandpass filters reject the image, half IF, injection,
and other unwanted frequencies. A four-pole crystal
filter enhances receiver selectivity.
4.1.4 TRANSMITTER
The transmitter produces a nominal RF power
output of SW at 13.3V DC, adjustable down to lW.
Frequency modulan’on ofthc transmit signal occurs in
the synthesizer. Transmit audio processing circuitry is
contained in the Loader board, modem or customer-
supplied equipment
4.2 SYNTHESIZER
Programming of the synthesizer provides the data
necessary for the internal prescaler and counters. One
input signal is the reference frequency. This frequency
is produced by the 17.5 MHz reference oscillator
(T CXO). The other input signal is the VCO
frequency.
A block diagram of the synthesizer is shown in
Figure 4-1 and a block diagram of Synthesizer IC
U800 is shown in Figure 4—2. As stated previously,
the synthesizer output signal is produced by a VCO
(volmge controlled oscillator). The VCO frequency
is controlled by a DC voltage produced by the phase
detector in U800. The phase detector senses the phase
and fi'equency of the two input signals and causes the
VCO control voltage to increase or decrease if they
are not the same. The VCO is then "locked" on
frequency.

4.2.I VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR
Oscillator
The VCO is formed by 0820, several capacitors
and varactor diodes, and ceramic resonator L826‘ lt
oscillates at the transmit frequency in transmit mode
and first injection frequency in the receive mode (928-
960 MHz in transmit and 840.150-872.150 MHz in
receive).
Biasing of 0820 is provided by R823, R824 and
R826. An AC Voltage divider formed by C844 and
C845 initiates and maintains oscillation and also
matches 0820 to the tank circuit. Resonator L826 is
grounded at one end to provide shunt inductance to
the tank circuit.
ErequencyfinntmLandMadulation
The VCO frequency is controlled by a DC volt—
age across varactor diode CR824. As voltage across a
reverse-biased varactor diode increases, its capaci—
tance decreases. The VCO fi'equency increases as the
control voltage increases. The control line is isolated
from tank circuit RF by choke L825. The amount of
frequency change produced by CR824 is controlled by
series capacitor C83 6.
The VCO frequency is modulated with the trans-
mit audio/data signal from 1201, pin 6 is applied
across varactor diode CR822 which varies the VCO
frequency at an audio rate. Series capacitors C825/
C824 couple the VCO to CRSZZ. R821 provides a
DC ground on the anodes of CR822/CR823, and isola—
tion is provided by R820 and C826. C827 is an RF
bypass.
The DC voltage across CR823 provides compen-
sation to keep modulation relatively flat over the
entire bandwidth of the VCO. This compensation is
required because modulation tends to increase as the
VCO frequency gets higher (capacitance of CR824/
CR825/CR826/CR827 gets lower). CR823 also bal-
ances the modulation signals applied to the VCO and
TCXO. The DAC can be used to adjust the VCO
modulation sensitivity.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The DC voltage applied across CR823 comes
from the modulation adjust control R818 on the RF
board. R820 applies a DC biasing voltage to CR822;
C815 provides DC blocking. RF isolation is provided
by C827, R822 and R817.
4.2.2 VCO AND REFERENCE OSCILLATOR
MODULATION
Both the VCO and reference oscillator (TCXO)
are modulated in order to achieve a flat frequency
response If only the VCO were modulated, the phase
detector in U800 would sense the frequency change
and increase or decrease the VCO control voltage to
counteract the change (especially at the lower audio
frequencies). If only the reference oscillator fre-
quency is modulated, the VCO frequency would not
change fast enough (especially at the higher audio fi'e—
quencies). Modulating both VCO and reference oscil-
lators produces a flat audio response. Potentiometer-
R818 sets the VCO modulation sensitivity so that it is
equal to the reference oscillator modulation
sensitivity.
4.2.3 CASCADE AMPLIFIERS
The output signal on the collector onBZO is cou-
pled by 0846 to buffer amplifier Q821/Q822. This is
a cascade amplifier which provides amplification and
also isolation between the VCO and the stages which
follow. The signal is capacitively coupled from the
collector of Q822 to the base of Q821. The resistors
in this circuit provide biasing and stabilization, and
C852 and C854 are RF bypass capacitors.
4.2.4 AMPLIFIER
Amplifier 0823 provides amplification and isola~
tion between the VCO, Receiver and Transmitter.
C85] provides matching between the amplifiers.
Bias for Q823 is provided by R840, R842 and R843.
Inductor L833 and capacitor C860 provide impedance
matching on the output.
4.2.5 VOLTAGE FILTER
Q845 on the RF board is a capacitance multiplier
to provide filtering of the +9.6V supply to the VCO.
R845 provides transistor bias and C842 provides the

terefore, base current does not change and transistor
lrrem remains constant. CR840 decreases the charge
nc of C842 when power is tumed out This shortens
e start-up time ofthe VCO. C840 and C84] are RF
coupling capacitors.
2.6 VCO FREQUENCY SHIFT
The VCO must be capable of producing frequen-
es from 840-960 MHz to produce the required
ceive injection and transmit frequencies. If this
rge of a shifi was achieved by varying the VCO con-
)! voltage, the VCO gain would be undesirably high.
terefore, capacitance is switched in and out of the
nk circuit to provide a coarse shifi in frequency.

The 928-960 MHz band is divided into two seg-

selection is controlled by shifi register U840, digital
transistors 0843/0844 and pin diode CR820 on the
VCO board.
A frequency shift of 87.85 MHz is required to go
from transmit to receive mode and visa versa. Trans-

gramming shift register U840 which drives the digital

4.2.7 SYNTHESIZER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
(U800)
Introduction
Synthesizer chip USOO is shown in Figure 4-2.
This device contains the following circuits: R (refer-
ence), Fractional-N, NM], NM2 and NM3; phase and
lock detectors, prescaler and counter programming
circuitry. The basic operation was described in Sec-
tion 4.2.1.
ChanneLEmgramming
Frequencies are selected by programming the IL
Fractional-N, NMI, NM2 and NM] in UBOO to divide
by a certain number. These counters are programmed
by Loader board or a user supplied programming cir-
cuit. More information on programming is located in
Section 3.
As previously stated, the counter divide numbers
are chosen so that when the VCO is oscillating on the
correct frequency, the VCO-derived input to the phase
detector is the same frequency as the reference oscilla-
tor—derived frequency.
The VCO frequency is divided by the internal
prescaler and the main divider to produce the input to
the phase detector.
4.2.8 LOCK DETECT
When the synthesizer is locked on frequency, the
SYNTH LOCK output of U800, pin 18 (1201, pin 7) is
JV. When the synthesizer is unlocked, the output is a
less than IV. Lock is defined as a phase difierenoe of
less than I cycle of the TCXO.
4.3 RECEIVER CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
4.3.1 CERAMIC FILTER, RF AMPLIFIER
Capacitor C200 couples the receive signal from
the antenna switch to ceramic filter 2200. (The
antenna switch is described in Section 4.4.3.) Z200 is
a bandpass filter that passes only a narrow band of fre-
quencies to the receiver. This attenuates the image
and other unwanted frequencies.
4-5
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Impedance matching between the Z200 and RF
amplifier 0201 is provided by C201, C203 and L200.
CR200 protects the base-emitter junction of 0201
from excessive negative voltages that may occur dur-
ing high signal conditions. 0200 is a switched con-
stant cunent source which provides a base bias for
0201. 0200 base bias is provided by R200/R201.
Current flows through R202 so that the voltage across
it equals the voltage across R200 (minus the base/
emitter drop of 0200). In the transmit mode the
receive 49.6V is removed and 0200 is off. This
removes the bias from 0201 and disables the RF
amplifier in transmit mode. This prevents noise and
RF from being amplified by 0201 and fed back on the
first injection line.
Addin’onal filtering of the receive signal is pro-
vided by 7201. L201 and C206 provide impedance
matching between 0201 and Z201. Resistor R205 is
used to lower the 0 of L201 to make it less frequency
selective.
4.3.2 MIXER
First mixer 021 1 mixes the receive frequency
with the first injection frequency to produce the
87.85 NH-Iz first IF. Since low-side injection is used,
the injection frequency is 87.85 MHz below the
receive frequency. The RF signal is coupled to the
mixer through C211. L212 and C214 tune the mixer
output to 87.85. R214 lowers the Q of L212.
4.3.3 FIRST LO AIvfl’LIFIER
The first injection frequency from the VCO is
coupled to the First Local Oscillator (LO) amplifier
0260/0261 through C266. L261/C265 match 0260
to the VCO.
0261 is a switched constant current source which
provides a base bias for 0260. 0261 base bias is pro-
vided by R264/R265. Current flows through R263 so
that the voltage across it equals the voltage across
R264 (minus the base/emitter drop of 0261). In the
msrnit mode the receive +9.6V is removed and
0261 is off. This removes the bias from 0260 and
disables the First L0 amplifier in transmit mode.

IIRCU lT DESCRIPTION
3.4 CRYSTAL FILTER, FIRST IF SECTION
Z220 and 2221 form a 2-section, 4-pole crystal
ilter with a center frequency of 87.85 MHz and a
3 dB passband ofs kHz(lZ.5 kHzBW) or 15 kHz
25 kHz BW). This filter establishes the receiver
electivity by attenuating the adjacent channel and
ther siylals close to the receive frequency. C223,
3224, and L221 adjust the coupling ofthe filter.
222, C226, C227 and R223 provide impedance
"latching between the filter and U230.
3.5 SECOND LO/MlXER/DETECTOR
lscillator and Mixer
As shown in Figure 4-3, U230 contains the sec-
nd oscillator, second mixer, limiter, detector, and
quelch circuitry. The control line from synthesizer
1800 is on U230, pin 4. R250/C252/CR240 stabilize
ie base current of the oscillator control line. C243/
3245 provide the feedback for the Colpitts oscillator.
he 87.4 MHz output of the oscillator is on U230, pin
and is coupled to buffer Q240. Bins for 0240 is pro-
ided by R242/R243/R245. The output of 0240 is
oupled to the auxiliary input of U800, pin 10 to main-
iin the control line. The 87.85 MHz IF signal is
nixed with the 87.4 MHz second L0 to produce the
50 kHz Second lF.

Second IF Filter
The output of the internal double-balanced mixer
is the difference between 87.85 MHz and 87.4 MHz
which is 450 kHz. This 450 kHz signal is fed out on
pin 20 and applied to second IF filters 2230 and 2231.
These filters have passbands of 9 kHz (12.5 kHz BW),
or 20 kHz (25 kHz BW) at the -6 dB points and are
used to attenuate wideband noise.
Limiter-Amplifier
The output of 2230/Z231 is applied to a limiter-
amplifier circuit in U230. This circuit amplifies the
450 kHz signal and any noise present; then limits this
signal to a specific value. When the 450 kHz signal
level is high, noise pulses tend to get clipped off by
the limiter; however, when the 450 kHz signal level is
low, the noise passes through the limiter. C233/C234
decouple the 450 kHz signal.
Quadrature Detector
From the limiter stage the signal is fed to the
quadrature detector. An external phase-shift network ‘\
connected to U230, pin 10 shifts the phase of one of
the detector inputs 90° at 450 kHz (all other inputs are
unshified in phase). When modulation occurs, the fre-
quency of the IF signal changes at an audio rate as
does the phase of the shified input. The detector,
which has no output with a 90° phase shifi, converts
this phase shifi into an audio signal. L230 is tuned to
provide maximum undistorted output from the detec-
tor. R232 is used to lower the Q of L230. From the
detector the audio and data signal is fed out on pin 8.
The audio/data output of U230, pin 8 is applied to
1201, pin 13.
. I: Hi
The audio/data output of U230, pin 8 is applied
to J201, pin 13.
Receive Si alStren Indicator RSSI
U230, pin 5 is an output for the RSS] circuit
which provides a voltage proportional to the strength
of the 450 kHz IF signal. The RSSI voltage is applied
to J201, pin 12.
4.4 TRANSMITTER CIRCUIT DESCRH’I'ION
4.4.1 DRIVER
The VCO RF output signal is applied to R846,
R847 and R848 that form a resistive splitter for the
receive first local oscillator and the transmitter. The
VCO signal is then applied to a 50 ohm pad formed by
R500, R501, and R502. This pad provides attenuation
and isolation. 0500 provides amplification and addi-
tional isolation between the VCO and transmitter.
Biasing for this stage is provided by R503 and R504,
and decoupling of RF signals is provided by C504.
Impedance matching to the power amplifier is pro-
vided by L500/C505.
4.4.2 FfNAL, COMPARATOR
RF module U510 has an RF output of 1 to SW
and operates on an input voltage from 10- 16V.
Power control is provided by U520, U130, 0520
and a stripline directional coupler. The power is
adjusted by Power Set Control ofU900 that provides a
reference voltage to UIBOC. U130C drives 0520 and
PA module U510 when using the DAC. When not
using the DAC, the set voltage is applied through
U902, pin 2.
One end of the stripline directional coupler is
connected to a forward RF peak detector formed by
R535, CR530, C531 and U520A. The other end ofthe
stripline directional coupler is connected to a reverse
RF peak detector formed by R537, CR53 l, C534 and
USZOB.
If the power output of U5 1 0 decreases due to
temperature variations, etc., the forward peak detector
voltage drops. This detector voltage drop is buffered
by U520A and applied to inverting amplifier U130C
which increases the forward bias on 0520. The
increase on 0520 increases the power output level of
U510. lf the power output ofUS 10 increases, the for-
ward peak detector voltage increases and U l 30C
decreases the fonavard bias on 0520. The decrease on
0520 decreases the output power of U510.
The output ofCR530 and CR53] are fed to
USZOAIB respectively. If the output of either buffer
increases, the increase is applied to the inverting input
ofU130C. The output ofUlflOC then deems and

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
0520 decreases the input voltage to U510 to lower the
power. The control voltage is isolated from RF by fer-
rite bead EPSlO and C51 1 decouples RF.
The forward/reverse power voltages fi'om
U520A/B are also applied to U901 for Diagnostic out-
puts on 1201, pin 14.
The low-pass filter consists of C541, L540,
C542, L541, C543, L542 and C544. The filter attenu-
ates spurious frequencies occurring above the transmit
frequency band. The transmit signal is then fed
through the antenna switch to antenna jack J501.
4.4.3 ANTENNA SWITCH
The antenna switching circuit switches the
antenna to the receiver in the receive mode and the
transmitter in the transmit mode. In the transmit
mode, +9V is applied to L543 and current flows
through diode CR540, L544, diode CR541, and
R540. When a diode is forward biased, it presents a
low impedance to the RF signal; conversely, when it is
reverse biased (or not conducting), it presents a high
impedance (small capacitance). Therefore, when
CR540 is forward biased, the transmit signal has a
low-impedance path to the antenna through coupling
capacitor C546.
L544 and C552 form a discrete quaner- wave
line. When CR541 is forward biased, this quarter-
wave line is effectively AC grounded on one end by
C552. When a quarter-wave line is grounded on one
end, the other end presents a high impedance to the
quarter-wave frequency. This blocks the transmit sig-
nal from the receiver. C545/CS46 matches the
antenna to 50 ohms in transmit and receive.
4.4.4 TRANSMIT KEY-UP CONTROL
When 3~16V is applied to 1201, pin 3 (1X_EN)
is applied to the base of 0133 it tums the transistor on
and causes the collector to go low. This low is on the
base of 0134 and tums the transistor on to apply
+5.5V to U130A, pin 2. C130 and C131dccouple RF.
The +5.5V from 0134 is divided by R132/R133 to
produce a +3.6V reference on U130A, pin 3. C136,
C137, C138 and C139 provide RF decoupling.

TRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Q130, 0131 and Q132 act as switches that turn
1 with the RX_EN line. When 1201. pin 4 goes low,
1130 is turned on“, which turns on 0131 that turns on
1132. This applies +13.3V to U130 before the
XiEN line on 1201, pin 3 goes high.
U130B provides the key-up/key-down condition-
1g circuit. C141/R137 provide a ramp up/mmp down
Fthe +9V TX during key-up/key-down which
zduces load pull of the VCO during key-up.
The output on U130B, pin 7 is applied to the non-
tverting input ofcomparator U130D, pin 12. The
rtput ofU130D, pin 14 is applied to the base ofctrr—
ent source 0135. The output onI 35 is on the emit-
r and is applied back to the inverting input ofcom-
traitor U130D, pin 13. A decrease or increase at
130D, pin 13 causes a correction by U130D to stabi-
ze the +9V transmit output. R140/‘R141 establishes
e reference voltage on UIBOD, pin 13. C144 pro-
des RF bypass, C143 provides RF decoupling and
145 stabilizes the output. The +9V transmit voltage

4.5 VOLTAGE REGULATORS
4.5.1 +96 AND +5.5V REGULATED
The +3-16V applied on 1201, pin 5 is applied to
the base on110 turning the msistor on. This
causes the collector to go low and applies a low to the
control line of U1 10, pin 2 and R110 provides supply
voltage isolation. The +13.3V from J201, pin 2 is on
U1 10, pin 6 to produce a +5.5V reference output on
U1 10, pin 4. C110 stabilizes the voltage and C114/
C111 provide RF decoupling. C117 provides RF
bypass and C123 provides RF decoupling. C119
helps to stabilize the voltage when the +5.5V supply
first turned on.
The low from the collector onl 10 is also
applied to the control line ofUl 1 1, pin 2. The +13.3V
from 1201, pin 2 is on U1 1 1, pin 6 to produce a+9.6V
output on Ulll, pin 4. C118 provides RF bypass and
C122 provides RF decoupling. C 120 helps to stabilize
the voltage when the +9.6V supply first tun-red on.
SECTION 5 SERVICING
5.1 GENERAL
5.1.1 PERIODIC CHECKS
This transceiver should be put on a regular main-
tenance schedule and an accurate performance record
maintained. important checks are receiver sensitivity
and transmitter frequency, modulation, and power out-
put. A procedure for these and other tests is located in
Section 6. It is recommended that transceiver perfor-
mance be checked annually even though periodic
checks are not required by the FCC. During the first
year, make an additional check or two to ensure no
TCXO frequency drifting has occurred.
5.l .2 SURFACE-MOUNTED COMPONENTS
A large number of the components used on the
transceiver board are the surface-mounwd type. Since
these components are relatively small in size and are
soldered directly to the PC board, care must be used
when they are replaced to prevent damage to the com-
ponent or PC board. Surface-mounted components
should not be reused because they may be damaged by
the unsoldering process.
5.l.3 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND COlvfl’O-
NENT LAYOUTS
Schematic diagrams and component layouts of
the PC boards used in this transceiver are located in
Section 8. A component locator guide is also pro-
vided to aid in component location.
5.1 .4 REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST
A replacement parts list with all the parts used in
this transceiver is located in Section 7. Parts are listed
alphanumerically according to designator. For infor-
mation on ordering pans, refer to Section 1.8.
5.1.5 TCXO MODULE NOT SERVICEABLE
The 11.5 PPM TCXO module is not field ser-
viceable. Part changes require a factory recalibran'on
to ensure that the oscillator stays within its 1:15 PPM
tolerance.
5.2 SYNTHESIZER SERVICING
5.2.1 INTRODUCTION
When there is a synthesizer malfunction, the
VCO is not locked on frequency. When an unlocked
VCO is detected by the lock detector circuit, USOO,
pin 18 goes low (OV).
NOTE: The user-supplied circuitry must disable the
Irmmilter and receiver when an uul-of—Iack condi-
tion is indicated.
When the VCO is unlocked, the fR and fV inputs
to the phase detector are usually not in phase (see Sec-
tion 4.1.2). The phase detector in U800 then causes
the VCO control voltage to go to the high or low end
of its operating range. This in turn causes the VCO to
oscillate at the high or low end of its frequency range.
As shown in Figure 4-1, a loop is formed by
VCO 0820, amplifier Q82 1/0822, and the RF l'N of
U800. Therefore, if any ofthese components begin to
malfunction, improper signals appear throughout the
loop. However, correct operation of the counters can
still be verified by measuring the input and output fre—
quencies to check the divide number.
Proceed as follows to check the synthesizer l/O
signals to determine if it is operating properly.
5.2.2 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR
Check the signal at U800, pin 8. It should be
17.5 MHz at a level of approximately 0.5V P-P. If the
TCXO module is defective, it is not serviceable and
must be replaced with a new module as described in
Section 5.1.5.
5.2.3 VCO
Output Level
Tlle output level of 0823 can be measured with
an RF voltmeter or some other type of high impedance
meter. The minimum level after a power splitter at
R846 should be ‘3 dBm.

22.Load the synthesizer with a receive channel fre-
quency to the LOW end of the band.
23.Verify the RF generator amplitude level is less than
-116 dBm at 12 dB SINAD.
24.Load the synthesizer with a receive channel fre-
quency to the H'lGH end of the band.
25.Verify the RF generator amplitude level is less than
-116 dBm at 12 dB SINAD.
26.Adjust generator RF level to -120 dBm and measure
DC (RSSI) voltage on 1201, pin 12 ofthe radio
(spec is less than or equal to 0.90V DC).

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
1.1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual conmins setup and service information for the Johnson Data Telemetry (J'DT) DL—3286
Telemetry Modem. For servicing information on the 3400-series telemetry radios which may be used with this
modem, refer to the specific transceiver service manualr
1.2 MODEM DESCRIPTION
1.2.1 GENERAL
The function of a modem is to convert digital data to an analog signal which can be used to modulate an
RF carrier. The modem also converts the received signal hack into its original digital data. This allow digital
dam to be transferred using a wireless RF link.
1.22 DL-3412, Dir-3422 or DL-3492
When the JDT 3286 modem is paired with a DL-3412, DL-3422 or DL~3492, the radio modern covers the
full UHF band at 25 kHz, 12.5 kHz and 6.25 kHz channel steps and the fill] VHF band at 30kHz, 15 kHz and
7.5 kHz channel steps. This modem uses a 4-Level Root-Raised Cosine FSK modulation scheme. It operates in
a half—duplex configuration and has the capability to be set up in a repeater mode.The DL-3286 modem is
capable of packetized and non-packetized dataThe DL3286 supports Flow Control (FEC), DCE/DTE (FEC),
DCFJDTE (No FEC), Data only (FEC), and Data-only (no FCE) protocols.
The 3286 is capable of sending and receiving data at two different speeds. This can be used selectively to
change to the lower speed (if necessary). The half—channel modem has a high speed of 9600 bps and a low
speed of 4800 bps.
Front panel LEDs provide visual indication for transmit, receive and power. Set-up sofiware uses a
Windows® Program and includes network diagnostics capable of showing the number of packets sent, number
of packes received, data reception quality and CRC packet errors. Programming set-up provides a unique
programming ID that allows diagnostics to be reported both locally and "over-the-air" from any location.
Built-in radio diagnostics are capable of reporting specific unit programming, loop back testing and radio
performance stan‘stics (i,e. RSSI, temperature, supply voltage, current, internal supply voltages, and transmitter
power).

NOTE: Frequency step size will not effect the functionality of the transceiver/modern. This is just a check
for the user to verify the selected frequency is the desired step size.
Example: If the user is operating on a 6.25 kHz system and enters a 7.5 kHz frequency, an error message will
be displayed but the 3286 software will load the 7.5 kHz frequency into the transceiver.
0 LED Functions - There are three LEDs on the 3286 modem. When there is power to the modem, the Power LED
(green) will be lit. When the receiver is receiving a carrier, the CD LET (yellow) will be lit.
When the transmitter is transmitting a signal, the TX LED (red) will be lit. These LEDs can be
enabled by clicking next to each one (see Figure 32.)
TX Only - When the TX Only is enabled, the receiver is disabled. When a transmit only radio is
used this function should be enabled.

4.1 INTRODUCTION
4r 1.1 GENERAL
The specifications is Secfinn 4 describe the requirements for the DL-3286, a 9600 bps half-channel or
19200 full—channel 4-level FSK Modern.
4.2 RTU INTERFACE
4.2.1 INTERFACE DESCRIPTION
The RTU Interface is an R5232 connection. The data format will he 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit and no
parity. The baud rate is programmable (19200 / 9600 / 4800 baud) with the 3286 Setup Sofiware (a Windows®
based program.) While in the setup mode, the modem uses 9600 baud.
The Modern and the RTU uses either a Flow Control protocol or an RTS/CTS Handshaking protoool.
4.2.2 FLOW CONTROL PROTOCOL
When the Flow Control protocol is used, the modem will send packetized data containing Forward Error
Correction (FEC) information With this protocol, the Modem can be programmed to expect an ACK orNACK
for each packet sent7 or the modem can packetize the data and send as is. The CTS output of the Modem signals
the RTU when it can transmit characters and when it should not transmit characters. When the CTS is high
(asserted), the Modem’s receive buffer IS NOT full. When the CTS is low (unasserted), the Modem’s receive
buffer IS full, This is the default protocol since it sends data in packets and utilizes Forward Error Correction.
This protocol can be used by users sending small packets (less than xx characters) who do not want to deal
with the RTS and CTS signals. the following figures show the Flow Control protocol. Figure 4.1rl shows the
CTS signal controlling the flow of data from the RTU, Figure 4.1.2 shows how a small packet (less than xx
characters) would not even use the CTS signal, since there were not enough characters to fill the receive buffer.

SECTION 5
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
5.1 GENERAL
5i1.1 INTRODUCTION
The modem board (Part number 023-3286—001) is a plug-in circuit board. The three main fimctions of the
modem board include loading the synthesizer, providing the baseband modulating signal for the transmitter, and
demodulating receive audio signals. The modem board is programmed by a personal computer and sottware and
connects to the radio through a l4-pin connector, I 100. Programming channels and other operating parameters
are provided through a DB-9 connector. A block diagram of the modem is shown at the end of Section 5.
5.12 TRANSNHT DATA
Transmit data from the RS-232 port is level-shifled to ‘l'I'L levels by Uzls. The MX919B modem, U210,
takes the digiml data stream and modulates the analog baseband signal using a 4 Level root Raised Cosine FSK
modulation scheme which is filtered by U502 then applied to MOD_1'N (pin 6) of J 100.
The MX919B modem IC is a custom MX-COM 4 Level FSK packet data modern operating from 4800 to
19.2 kbps. The modem 1C adds forward error correction (FEC) and data correction (CRC) information/Alter
adding symbol and frame synchroniution codewords, the data packet is converted into filtered 4—level analog
signals for modulating the radio. Potentiometer R508 sets the transmit deviation.
5. l .3 RECEIVE DATA
Received signals are filtered by band-pass filter U402-3 and the gain is adjusted with R4! 0 to set the
correct analog levels for the modem 1C. The detected audio is fed to the input of the modem IC and also to a
symbol synchronization band-pass filter U402-l. From U402-l, the audio passes through a peak detector and
amplifier U402—4 before moving to the processor which searches for a symbol sync pattern. Once the symbol
sync pattern is found, the processor enables the modem to start accepting the data from the low-pass filter,
U402-3. The modem IC takes the analog signals, removes the overhead bits, and performs the error correcting.
5. L4 SYNTI-[ESIZER PROGRAMMING
The processor loads the synthesizer on power up, wake up, and receive or transmit transitions. The
synthesizer load is sent on the SP1 bus with RF_SYNTH_ENABLE (pin 8 of J 100) asserted. The radio
synthesizer generates a lock detect signal to show when it is on frequency. This signal enters the loader on pin 7
of 1100 where it is buffered by U300. If the synthesizer is out of lock, the processor will remove the TX enable
(if present) and reload the synthesizer until lock is regained. Eight channel frequency select is provided by DIP
switches l, 2, and 3 ofSl.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
5.1.5 POWER SUPPLIES
U604 provides 55V for the receiver 5.5REG and analog modem circuitry, while U602 provides SV for the
CPU and other digital logic.
SJ .6 MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS
An error condition (when the logic voltage regulator goes out of regulation) resets the processor. U606 is a
temperature sensor used by the firmware to compensate for variations in RSSI,
The RF module’s RSSl_0UT(J100 pin 12) is read by an analog input on the CPU, which implements a
squelch threshold in software. Various internal voltages (F_B+, analog VCC, RXSV, TXSV, SWB+) are read and
the diagnostics can be displayed using the available sofiware.
Switch 3102 puts the CPU in programming mode in which the CPU accepts new boot code from the
sofiware.
