CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator Instruction Manual 1-1
1 GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
The CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator module is an optional plug-in component of the MT-3 Radio
Repeater System. This module provides digital and/or analog paging capability for Daniels MT-3
transmitters in all supported frequency bands.
The CI-PM-3 is designed for low power consumption, typically drawing less than 250 mA in
steady state. In its standard configuration, the CI-PM-3 uses an on-board frequency reference
source consisting of a 10 MHz OCXO with a standard stability of 0.03 PPM. For high stability
applications (such as Simulcast), the CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator may be configured to use an
external high stability reference source (i.e. rubidium, GPS or WWV) with a standard stability
greater than or equal to 0.002 PPM, to discipline the on-board phase-locked loop OCXO oscillator.
To ensure that paging signals are the same relative to each transmitter, the CI-PM-3 also
incorporates a limited delay compensation for the different link propagation paths between
transmitters.
The CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator supports both analog and digital paging formats, and can transmit
POCSAG and other 2-level modulation schemes at data transfer rates of 512, 1200, and 2400
Baud. It can also be configured for use as a data repeater, whereby 2-level paging data is recovered,
re-shaped and then re-transmitted to an additional repeater/paging transmitter. The CI-PM-3
supports 4-level modulation formats in non-repeater mode (i.e. in a base station paging transmitter
application only) at data transfer rates up to 1600 BPS. Each of the four modulation deviation
levels can be independently set, making the CI-PM-3 suitable for use in such pager signaling
schemes as Motorola’s FLEX™ Paging Protocol.
Setup conditions are established via front panel switch settings, while internal jumper settings and
setup adjustments are easily accessible using the EC-96, 96 Pin Extender Card.
The CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator includes the following standard features:
- low power analog and CMOS control circuitry.
- extended operating temperature range;
- jumper selectable Repeater/paging transmitter configuration;
- on-board +/-0.03 PPM 10 MHz OCXO;
- front panel selection of PLL OCXO using external high stability frequency reference;
- jumper and line selectable analog / digital paging configuration;
- connection for optional CTCSS encoder / decoder;
- balanced 600 Ω / single-ended microphone input;
- selectable digital delay for Simulcast operation

3 ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE AND INSTALLATION
3.1 General
The CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator is by default configured for stand-alone base station paging, using
2-Level paging data with a binary polarity of 1, and using the on-board +/-0.03 PPM 10 MHz
OCXO. Table 4-4 contains a complete list of CI-PM-3 default jumper settings. The CI-PM-3 can
also be configured for 4-level signal (base transmitter only) paging, remote paging, link repeater or
higher stability operation. Each of these configurations is covered separately in the following
sections.
3.2 Repair Notes
Removal and replacement of surface mount components should be performed only in specifically
designed surface mount rework and repair stations complete with electrostatic discharge (ESD)
protection.
To help prevent damage to the circuit board pads when removing Surface Mount Solder Jumpers, it
is recommended that solder braid be used in place of manual vacuum de-soldering tools.
3.3 Recommended Equipment List
Alignment of the CI-PM-3 requires the following test and radio equipment, or its equivalent:
• Power Supply: Regulated +13.8 VDC at 2 A
• Oscilloscope / Multi-meter: Fluke 97 Scopemeter
• Current Meter: Fluke 75 Multi-meter
• Radio Communications Test Set: Marconi Instruments 2955R (W/External Reference)
• Sub-rack: Daniels SR-3 Series 19” Sub-rack
• System Monitor: Daniels SM-3 Series System Monitor
• Transmitter Module: Daniels Enhanced Performance VT-3 / UT-3 Series
• Extender Card and Cable: Daniels EC-96K, 96 Pin Extender Card and Cable
• Alignment Tool: Johanson 8766

3.12 Simulcast Delay Setup
A typical Simulcast system is depicted in Figure 5-2. To correctly determine the differing
propagation path delays to each transmitter in a Simulcast system and compensate for them, signal
delays in both the transmission medium and the equipment must be known. For the purposes of
this manual, it is assumed that only Daniels MT-3 radio equipment will be utilized at each paging
site, and that each radio subrack will be identically configured with CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator
modules.
Signal delays from the base transmitter to any paging transmitter are calculated as follows:
Delay = t(Link) + t(Eqpt)
Where: t(Link) = Propagation delay from Base TX to Paging TX
t(Eqpt) =t
(RX) + t(PM) + t(TX)
t(RX) = Delay through Receiver
t(PM) = Delay through Paging Modulator
t(TX) = Delay through Transmitter
d = Distance
The delay through the equipment at each paging transmitter site, t(Eqpt),will be identical for each link,
and can therefore be eliminated from our calculations. As such, the only delay variable(s) of
interest will be the distance from the base transmitter to each paging transmitter. Since radio waves
propagate at or near the speed of light (3x108 m/sec), the delay calculation becomes:
Delay = t(Link)
= d (km)
×
3.33
µ
sec
or
= d (mi)
×
5.37
µ
sec
For the Simulcast system depicted in Figure 5-2, the signal transmitted by PAGING TX #1 will not
be delayed, as this is the furthest site from the BASE TX. However, to ensure identical signal
processing characteristics at each site, the DATA DELAY circuitry of the CI-PM-3 at PAGING
TX #1 will be enabled, but with zero delay selected. PAGING TX #2 will have its paging signal
delayed by a value proportional to the difference in distance between PAGING TX #1 and
PAGING TX #2 to the BASE TX. The delay for PAGING TX #2 is therefore calculated as:
Delay(Link B) =(d
(Link A) (km) - d(Link B) (km))
×

(Link A) (mi) - d(Link B) (mi))

CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator Instruction Manual 3-7
The delay calculations for any paging transmitter site in a multiple-transmitter system, with
distances measured from the site of interest back to the BASE TX, becomes:
Delay(Site of Interest) =(d
(Furthest Site) (km) - d(Site of Interest) (km))
×
3.33
µ
sec
or
=(d
(Furthest Site) (mi) - d(Site of Interest) (mi))

To set the delay value: Once the required delay has been calculated for a particular paging site, refer
to Table 4-3 delay settings:
a) Locate the DELAY (µsec) value which is closest to the calculated value.
b) Set surface mount jumpers JU31, JU32, JU33, and JU35 according Table 4-3 in section 4.3.
Data Delay Adjust: To set delay values other than those listed in Table 4-3:
1. Set the oscilloscope for 1.0 V/Div (vertical) and 0.5 µs/Div (horizontal). Select channel 1 as
trigger input and set Trigger Slope to positive.
2. Monitor the test data signal at TP9 on channel 1 of the oscilloscope and the output signal at
TP5 on channel 2.
3. Adjust the oscilloscope for maximum horizontal display of the distance between the signals’
leading edges. Adjust tuning capacitor C55 until the output signal’s leading edge on channel 2
is delayed from the input signal’s leading edge on channel 1 by the desired delay amount.
Example: To set a delay of 44 µsec:
i) Set oscilloscope horizontal resolution to 5 µsec/div.
ii) Install surface mount jumpers JU31B, JU32A, JU33A and JU35E (refer to Table 4-3).
iii) Monitor TP9 on channel 1 of the oscilloscope. Monitor TP5 on channel 2 of the oscilloscope.
Adjust C55 for 8.8 horizontal divisions between the signals’ leading edges
(8.8✕5 µsec = 44 µsec delay).

3-8 CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator Instruction Manual
3.13 Repeater Configuration
The CI-PM-3 modules at both the base transmitter and paging/repeater must be configured
individually. Individual setup procedures must also be followed for analog/digital paging and for
digital-only paging.
Note: The CI-PM-3 modules must be set for 2-level signal operation only when configured for
use in a paging repeater system.
3.13.1 Base Transmitter Site CI-PM-3 Configuration
The setup instructions of sections 3.13.1 through 3.13.3 must be completed prior to commencing
setup of the remote paging/repeater site CI-PM-3. Jumper designators separated by a ‘/’ indicates
an ‘and/or’ selection (eg JU19/JU45 means JU19 and/or JU45).
3.13.1.1 Digital-Only Paging
1. Install shunt jumpers JU7-A, JU8-A, JU10-A, JU41-C and JU23-A, JU23-B or JU23-C.
2. Install surface mount jumpers JU22, JU55, and JU20/JU21.
3. Remove surface mount jumpers JU19, JU28, JU29, JU30, JU34, JU43, JU44, JU45, JU52,
JU53 and JU54.
3.13.1.2 Analog/Digital Paging
Ensure the TS-64 CTCSS Module, MOD1, is installed. Refer to section 3.13.3 for TS-64 CTCSS
Module Configuration and settings for jumpers JU52, JU53 and JU54.
1. Install shunt jumpers JU7-A, JU8-A, JU10-B, JU41-A and JU23-A, JU23-B or JU23-C.
2. Install surface mount jumper JU20/JU21, JU22 and JU55.
3. Remove surface mount jumpers JU19, JU28, JU29, JU30, JU34, JU43, JU44, JU45 and JU51.
3.13.2 Repeater Site CI-PM-3 Configuration
At the remote paging/repeater site, the digital paging signal is received and discriminated by the
receiver, regenerated (reshaped) by the CI-PM-3, and re-transmitted through the normal CI-PM-3
data signal path. Analog paging signals are routed from the receiver, through the CI-PM-3, then
directly to the transmitter.

UHF Transmitter Instruction Manual UT-3 896 - 960 MHz 1-1
1 GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
The UT-3 896 - 960 MHz transmitter is a low power, synthesized, FM transmitter, capable of
operation in 6.25 KHz channels. The transmitter operates in three frequency bands:
896 - 902 MHz, 928 - 935 MHz, and 935 - 960 MHz and power output is adjustable from 0.5W to
3.0W. A modular design allows each of the transmitter's modules: OS-3 896 - 960 MHz
synthesizer, UT-3 800/900 amplifier, MT-3 audio processor, and MT-3 transmitter main board to
be individually assembled and tested. This facilitates construction, maintenance, as well as
troubleshooting procedures. The synthesizer module can be programmed to have up to 16 channels
exclusive to one frequency band (896 - 902 MHz, 928 - 935 MHz, or 935 - 960 MHz) making the
UT-3 an extremely versatile transmitter. In addition, the UT-3 896 - 960 MHz transmitter is
capable of standard modulation or low frequency modulation.
The UT-3 896 - 960 MHz transmitter is designed to interface with Daniels Electronics' MT-3
Repeater System while maintaining MT-2 System compatibility. Both repeater systems are
characterized by dependable, low maintenance performance under the most severe environmental
conditions.
1.2 Manual Organization
The organization of this manual reflects the modular makeup of the UT-3 product line. Each
module is fully described within its respective submanual, all of which are contained within this
document. In general, each submanual contains:
1. A functional description and specification summary,
2. A detailed technical description (Theory of Operation) and
3. Assembly, setup and alignment procedures relevent to that particular module.
The module manuals are as follows.
Note: material presented in a given "sub-manual" may include information related to other module
versions not directly appllicable to the 896 - 960 MHz Transmitter family (eg, the Low Current
Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3 covers models from 132 MHz to 960 MHz).
UHF Transmitter Instruction Manual UT-3 896 - 960 MHz: This manual provides an overview of
the complete transmitter, manual organization and assembly in terms of the other modules.
MT-3 Transmitter Main Board Instruction Manual: This manual pertains to the audio processor
module, transmitter Main Board and Front Panel Board. Most of the user selectable options are
accessed within the Transmitter Main Board module, including channel selection. Since all external
connections (including power and signal lines) are made to the Transmitter Main Board, most of the
material pertaining to transmitter operation and installation is found here.

UHF Amplifier Instruction Manual UT-3 806 - 960 MHz : The amplifier module provides the
final stages of RF power amplification and harmonic filtering for the transmitter. This manual is
intended primarily as a reference since the amplifier module is adjusted at the factory.
Low Current Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3 132 - 960 MHz: This manual pertains to
the enhanced synthesizer module.
UHF Rx/Tx Channel Designation Table UT-3 896 - 960 MHz: This document relates operating
frequency to the transmitter channel number (see section 2.2).
1.3 UT-3 896 - 960 MHz Transmitter Family Models
The UT-3 896 - 960 MHz line of transmitters has a single RF power output rating of 3.0 Watt, with
wide or narrow band FM (12.5 kHz or 25 kHz channels) and employs synthesizer based frequency
generation. The six basic (i.e. no options added) band specific models of the transmitter are as
follows:
• UT-3/900-SNB3 - synthesized, 896 - 902 MHz band, 12.5 kHz channels, 0.5 - 3.0 Watt
• UT-3/935-SNB3 - synthesized, 928 - 935 MHz band, 12.5 kHz channels, 0.5 - 3.0 Watt
• UT-3/950-SNB3 - synthesized, 935 - 960 MHz band, 12.5 kHz channels, 0.5 - 3.0 Watt
• UT-3/900-SWB3 - synthesized, 896 - 902 MHz band, 25 kHz channels, 0.5 - 3.0 Watt
• UT-3/935-SWB3 - synthesized, 928 - 935 MHz band, 25 kHz channels, 0.5 - 3.0 Watt
• UT-3/950-SWB3 - synthesized, 935 - 960 MHz band, 25 kHz channels, 0.5 - 3.0 Watt
The transmitter models are very similar and the transmitters' band of operation is determined by
select components in the synthesizer and amplifier.

1 GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
The MT-3 Transmitter Main Board integrates the MT-3 Front Panel Board, MT-3 Audio
Processor, Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module, and Amplifier module together to
comprise a MT-3 series transmitter (see section 5.1: MT-3 Transmitter Block Diagram). The Front
Panel Board and the Audio Processor are soldered directly to the Transmitter Main Board while the
Amplifier and the Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module are frequency band sensitive,
plug-in modules. Circuitry and jumpers on the Transmitter Main Board control the operation of the
modules as well as the overall operation of the MT-3 transmitter. Power and signal connections are
made through the 48 pin type 'F' connector on the rear of the Transmitter Main Board where they
are then routed to the other MT-3 modules. The front and rear panels are attached to the
Transmitter Main Board and together with the extruded aluminum shell, form the transmitter
enclosure.

DE DANIELS
ELECTRONICS
Transmitter Main Board Instruction Manual 3-1
3 TRANSMITTER ALIGNMENT
3.1 General
Transmitter alignment is simplified by using an M-3 Subrack, SM-3 System Monitor, and RF
extender cable to provide transmitter power and signal interconnection. Alternatively, +9.5 Vdc and
+13.8 Vdc may be applied directly to a transmitter module through positive connection for the
+9.5 Vdc to pins B6 and Z6, for the +13.8 Vdc to pins B2 and Z2, and negative connection to pins
B30, Z30, B32, and Z32. Transmitter balanced audio (600 Ω) is available at pins B18 and Z18.
3.2 Repair Note
MT-3 Transmitter modules are mainly made up of surface mount devices which should not be
removed or replaced using an ordinary soldering iron. Removal and replacement of surface mount
components should be performed only with specifically designed surface mount rework and repair
stations complete with ElectroStatic Dissipative (ESD) protection.
When removing Surface Mount Solder Jumpers, it is recommended to use solder braid in place of

3.3 Printed Circuitboard Numbering Convention
To ease troubleshooting and maintenance procedures, Daniels Electronics Limited has adopted a
printed circuitboard (PCB) numbering convention in which the last two digits of the circuitboard
number represent the circuitboard version. For example:
• PCB number 43-912010 indicates circuitboard version 1.0;
• PCB number 50002-02 indicates circuitboard version 2.0.
All PCB's manufactured by Daniels Electronics are identified by one of the above conventions.
3.4 Recommended Test Equipment List
Alignment of the complete transmitter requires the following test equipment or its equivalent. It is
assumed that any adjustment of the Transmitter Main Board will also involve the other modules.
Dual Power Supply: Regulated +9.5 Vdc at 2 A.

3.6 MT-3 Transmitter Board Alignment
3.6.1 General
Before proceeding with the transmitter alignment, check that the appropriate jumpers are installed.
The standard jumper configuration for the Transmitter Main Board, given in section 3.5.1, is
normally employed for transmitter alignment. In a standard configuration, the only alignment
required on the MT-3 Transmitter Main Board for a synthesized transmitter is to set the frequency
switches (FSW1, FSW2, FSW3, and FSW4) for the desired channel frequency. FSW1 is the
most significant digit of the frequency switches. The switch settings for the desired channel
frequency can be found in the channel designation tables. If the transmitter is using a crystal
control oscillator module, the switch settings are irrelevant.

3.7 Module Installation and Removal
Installation of the Enhanced Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module is facilitated by
alignment pins on each corner of the module. When the four pins are aligned with their
corresponding hole in the Transmitter Main Board, push the module down, taking care to ensure the
connector pins on the bottom of the Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module are not
bent.
DE DANIELS
ELECTRONICS
3-6 Transmitter Main Board Instruction Manual
To remove the Enhanced Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module, simply remove the
center screw from the module lid and pull the module out. The module should be pulled straight
out so that the four alignment pins do not bend or damage the circuitboard.
The Low Power Synthesizer uses two tabs soldered to the Transmitter Main Board for mounting.
No alignment pins are used. As a result care must be taken to ensure the connector pins on the
bottom of the Synthesizer are not bent. To install the low Power Synthesizer module, remove the
two of the synthesizer side screws that correspond to the tabs on the Transmitter Main board and
install the synthesizer module taking care not to bend the pins. Replace the two side screws;
installing them through the tabs to hold the synthesizer module in place.
When removing the Low Power Synthesizer module, it is important to gently lift the synthesizer
module "straight out" in order to prevent damage to the connector pins. Remove the two side
screws holding the sinthesizer module to the tabs. Using a plastic coated lifting tool, such as a
small screwdriver with the tip covered in heat shrink material, gently lift the synthesizer module
from the Transmitter Main Board by applying pressure in a rotating fashion about four corners of
the synthesizer module. Replace the two side screws.
3.8 MT-3 Audio Processor Alignment (Version 1.6)
3.8.1 General
Verify the standard factory settings for the MT-3 Audio Processor as given in section 3.5.2 before
beginning the standard deviation adjustment procedure. If the transmitter's channel frequency
changes, the audio processor should be realigned to optimize the transmitter's performance. The
schematic diagram for the audio processor is shown in section 5.4.2 and the component layout is
shown in section 5.4.1.
3.8.2 MT-3 Audio Processor Standard Deviation Adjustment
Note: clockwise rotation of controls increases signal levels.
1 Connect the transmitter to the radio communications test set and monitor FM
deviation, distortion, and audio frequency. Before adjusting the audio deviation,
confirm that the transmitter RF output frequency is correct.
2 Connect the 600 ohm input to the incoming audio (pins B18, Z18). Set the audio
frequency to 1 kHz at the desired level of -8 dBm.
3 Increase the balance level control (R31) for maximum gain.
DE DANIELS
ELECTRONICS
Transmitter Main Board Instruction Manual 3-7
4 Turn the transmitter on.
5 Adjust the balance compression level (R38) for compression at ±60% maximum
deviation.
6 Set the audio frequency to 2.4 kHz, then adjust the deviation control (R29) for
maximum deviation.
7 Reset the modulating frequency to 1 kHz and re-adjust R38 for ±60% maximum
deviation.
8 Repeat steps 6 and 7 until both conditions are met.
9 Vary the audio signal from 1 kHz to 3 kHz and measure the positive deviation and
then the negative deviation. Adjust the symmetry control (R14) until the ± deviation is
symmetrical. The variation between ± deviation levels should not exceed 300 Hz over
the 1 kHz to 3 kHz range.
10 Repeat steps 6 and 7 and re-adjust if necessary.
11 Adjust the balanced input level control (R31) until the deviation produced by a 1 kHz
tone at -8 dBm falls below ±60% maximum deviation, then adjust R31 so that the
deviation increases until compression is observed. The deviation should be ±1.5 kHz
or ±3 kHz for narrowband and wideband channels respectively.
12 A 1 kHz tone at -8 dBm input level should produce ±60% maximum deviation. If not,
go back to step 4 and make sure the pot is set for maximum gain and repeat the
procedure. If so, increasing the input level by +20 dBm should not increase the
deviation. This confirms that the AGC action of preamplifier U2 is working.
13 A 2.4 kHz tone at the desired audio input level should produce the maximum
deviation. Increasing the input level by +20 dBm should not increase the deviation.
This confirms that the limiting action of U4a and U5a is working.
14 Set the audio frequency back to 1 kHz at -8 dBm output. Confirm and record audio
distortion with the appropriate filter on the communications test set.
15 Confirm the audio frequency response by referencing all output deviation
measurements to a 1 kHz input tone at ±20% maximum deviation (±500 Hz for
narrowband or ±1 kHz for wideband).
16 Remove the signal to the balanced input (pins B18, Z18).

deviation. Remove the signal.

3.11 Low Frequency Modulation Configuration
Note: the following information originates from Daniels Electronics document number A0361-06.
3.11.1MT-3 Transmitters
For transmitters, the LTR™ or DCS signal should be applied to the DIRECT MODULATION
input (pin Z28), which is also available on the M-3 and SR-3 motherboards at the control
connectors J1, P1, or J7 on pins B20 (TX A DIR MOD) and A20 (TX B DIR MOD). The signal
from an LTR™ or DCS encoder should be applied through a 47k resistor to reduce the
loading effect of the DIRECT MODULATION input. The signal should be capacitively
coupled to avoid pulling the transmitter frequency off centre. Most LTR™ and DCS encoder
modules already have a capacitive output. Note that the controller generating the low frequency
signal will need to key the transmitter's PTT input. Note that the synthesizer and the audio
processor may require modifications as described later in this document.

For all MT-3 transmitters, apply a low impedance source of 20-300 Hz to the Direct Modulation
input of the transmitter (Pin Z28 of the 48 pin connector) through a 22 uF capacitor, positive
terminal connected to pin Z28. A Marconi 2955 works well for this test. Adjust R44 on the audio
processor to the fully clockwise position.
• Apply a 100 Hz tone at -8 dBm to the Direct Modulation input of the transmitter (Pin Z28
of the 48 pin connector, and key the transmitter. Adjust the level of the tone until a
deviation of 1.5 kHz is acheived. Note that the level required may be anwhere from -10
dBm to 0 dBm depending on the type of transmitter.
• Confirm that the frequency response rolls off by checking that the following deviations
are observed: (note that the deviation will NOT roll off at 300 Hz if an OC-3 crystal
oscillator is used instead of a synthesizer).
- 20 Hz tone gives about 700 Hz deviation
- 100 Hz tone gives 1.5 kHz deviation
- 300 Hz tone gives about 500 Hz deviation
• Finally, confirm subtone 1 modulation: set-up for 100 Hz Mod with 500 Hz Dev.
- Check 200 Hz Mod, Dev = 1.5 (VHF) / 2.0 kHz (UHF)

1 GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
The OS-3A/H Synthesizer is a compact, fully shielded and environmentally rugged frequency
synthesis module that is the nucleus of every MT-3 synthesized Receiver and Transmitter radio
module. The OS-3A/H generates a high stability, low distortion radio frequency signal in one of
several frequency bands, including 29 - 50 MHz, 118 - 159.4 MHz, 118 - 174 MHz,
406 - 470 MHz and 928 – 935 MHz. The OS-3A/H utilizes an internal temperature compensated
9.6 MHz reference to produce a signal stable to ±1 ppm within the temperature range of -40°C to
+60°C. Alternately, the OS-3A/H can be disciplined by an external 9.6 MHz or 10 MHz
reference of higher stability. The OS-3A/H Synthesizer Module is manufactured in thirteen
distinct models which cover five primary frequency bands (see section 1.2 below). All
synthesizer modules are designed to be easily removed for programming, calibration and/or
repair. The synthesizer circuitry is distributed between two printed circuit boards (PCBs) which
are isolated yet interconnected via photo-logic optical transceivers that effectively eliminate
residual electrical noise between digital and analog circuitry. Further shielding of the
synthesizer’s RF filter circuitry is provided by an internal shielded enclosure.
1.2 OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Enhanced Synthesizer Family Models
The OS-3A/H Synthesizer Module is utilized in both the MT-3 Receiver and Transmitter product
lines. In MT-3 Transmitters, the OS-3A/H synthesizer provides a modulated, low-level RF
signal to the Power Amplifier module. In MT-3 Receivers, the OS-3A/H synthesizer provides a
low noise local oscillator (LO) signal that either directly drives the mixer circuitry or first drives
a buffer amplifier which precedes the mixer circuitry (if a higher LO drive signal is required for
enhanced intermodulation capability). There are thirteen distinct models within the OS-3A/H
Enhanced Synthesizer Family. Note that this manual provides service and operating information
for all thirteen synthesizer modules. It is extremely important to establish the correct synthesizer
model number, as documentation is model-specific. The model number can be found on the
synthesizer label, located on the synthesizer module top cover.
The thirteen synthesizer models that comprise the OS-3A/H Synthesizer family are follows:
Frequency Band: 29 - 50 MHz, Common OS-3H0xx Analog Board
• OST-3H035 - installed in FM transmitter, 29 - 38 MHz RF output.
• OST-3H045 - installed in FM transmitter, 38 - 50 MHz RF output.
• OSR-3H061 - installed in FM receiver, 50.4 - 71.4 MHz RF output.
1-2 Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 935 MHz
Frequency Band: 118 - 159.4 MHz, AM Multichannel OS-3H1xx Analog Board
• OST-3A128 - installed in AM transmitter, 118 - 138 MHz RF output.
• OSR-3A149 - installed in AM receiver, 139.4 - 159.4 MHz RF output.
Frequency Band: 128 - 174 MHz, Common OS-3H1xx Analog Board
• OST-3H141 - installed in FM transmitter, 128 - 152.6 MHz RF output.
• OST-3H162 - installed in FM transmitter, 150 - 174 MHz RF output.
• OSR-3H141 - installed in FM receiver, 128 - 152.6 MHz RF output.
• OSR-3H162 - installed in FM receiver, 150 - 174 MHz RF output.
Frequency Band: 406 - 470 MHz, Common OS-3H4xx Analog Board
• OST-3H418 - installed in FM transmitter, 406 - 430 MHz RF output.
• OST-3H460 - installed in FM transmitter, 450 - 470 MHz RF output
• OSR-3H440 - installed in FM receiver, 427.4 - 451.4 MHz RF output.
Frequency Band: 928 - 935 MHz, Common OS-3H932 Analog Board
• OST-3H932 - installed in FM transmitter, 928 - 935 MHz RF output.
All OS-3A/H Enhanced Synthesizer Modules, regardless of the frequency band, use the same
digital PCB and mechanical construction. There are, however, significant differences between
the various models when it comes to the analog PCB. There are five different analog PCBs,
designed to cover the five frequency bands of 29 - 50 MHz, 118 - 159.4 MHz, 128 - 174 MHz,
406 - 470 MHz and 928 - 935 MHz. Each model’s specific sub-band of operation within a given
frequency band is determined through SELECT components on the corresponding analog board.

2.1 Internal Power and Control (Digital Board)
Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 935 MHz 3-1
3 SYNTHESIZER ALIGNMENT
3.1 General
OS(R/T)-3(A/H) enhanced synthesizer alignment is simplified by using a Type 84 subrack and
RF extender card/cable of providing receiver or transmitter power and signal interconnection.
Alternately, +9.5 Vdc may be directly connected to a receiver or transmitter module with the
positive connection on pins B6 / Z6 and the negative connection on pins B30 / Z30 / B32 / Z32.
Receiver balanced audio (600 Ω) is available at pins B26 and Z26.
3.2 Repair Note
The OS(R/T)-3(A/H) synthesizer employs a large number of surface mount components.
Removal and/or replacement of surface mount components should never be performed using an
ordinary soldering iron but should only be performed at surface mount rework and repair stations
equipped with Electro Static Dissipative (ESD) protection.
When removing Surface Mount Solder Jumpers, it is recommended that solder wick braid be
used in lieu of vacuum type de-soldering tools to help prevent damage to the printed circuit
boards.
3.3 Recommended Test Equipment
Alignment of the synthesizer requires the following test equipment, or its equivalent:
Power supply - Regulated +9.5 Vdc at 2 A. Phillips PM 2811
Oscilloscope / Multimeter - Fluke 97 Scopemeter
Radio communications test set - Marconi Instruments 2965A
It is recommended that the radio communications test set be referenced to an external high
stability frequency source (WWVH, GPS, Loran C) so that the OS-3A/H internal high stability
local oscillator may be accurately set to within its ±1 ppm frequency tolerance.
3.4 OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Synthesizer Factory Configuration
The OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Synthesizer is factory configured as follows:
• Internal 9.6 MHz reference selected.
• VCO modulation (via audio processor) enabled (OST TX versions only)
3-2 Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 935 MHz
The corresponding internal synthesizer jumper settings are:
Digital Board
• Jumper JU2 not installed 9.6 MHz internal frequency reference selected
• Jumper JU1 installed AM Multichannel mode selected
Analog Board
• Jumper JU1: 'B' position Internal frequency reference selected
• Jumper JU2 not installed Internal frequency reference selected
3.5 OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Synthesizer Alignment
3.5.1 General
Under normal circumstances (i.e. a change in operating frequency within the synthesizer’s
maximum tuning range), synthesizer alignment is accomplished with the synthesizer installed in
the MT-3 Receiver IF/Audio Board or the MT-3 Transmitter Main Board. The alignment
procedure involves setting the internal TCXO reference frequency (if one is installed and the
internal reference option is enabled). This step is described in "Reference Frequency
Alignment", section 3.5.5.5. A change in operating frequency from the initial factory setting that
exceeds the synthesizer’s maximum tuning range (Refer to Specifications section 1.3) requires a
more involved alignment procedure as described in sections 3.5.2 to 3.5.5. Conversion of a
synthesizer from internal reference to external reference or vice-versa is accomplished through
selection of jumper JU1 A or B, as appropriate and JU2 (Refer to section 3.5.6).

3.5.3 Synthesizer Removal and Installation
The synthesizer module is secured to the main board (MT-3 Receiver IF/Audio Board or MT-3
Transmitter Main board) with a single counter sunk Phillips machine screw accessible from the
top cover. Remove this screw to remove the synthesizer module. Using a plastic coated lifting
tool, such as a small screwdriver with the tip covered in heat shrink material, gently lift the
synthesizer module from the main circuit board by applying pressure in a rotating fashion about
the four corners of the synthesizer module. It is important to gently remove the synthesizer
module "straight out" in order to prevent damage to the connector pins. Installation of the
synthesizer is performed in a reverse fashion. It is important to ensure complete connector pin
alignment prior to any application of reinsertion force. Four corner locating pins on the
synthesizer housing assist in connector pin alignment during installation and removal.
Note: Complete synthesizer alignment can be performed without removing the synthesizer.
The alignment procedure starting in section 3.5.5 may now be performed.
3.5.4 Circuit Board Removal
Note: Circuit board removal is not required for tuning purposes.
Using a vacuum de-soldering station, de-solder connections P1, P2 and P3. Remove SMB
connectors J1 and J2 by de-soldering the center pins and removing four M2.0 machine screws.
These connection points are shown in the "OS(R/T)-3(A/H) XXX - XXX MHz Analog Board
Component Layout (Top)" diagrams. Remove seven M2.0 machine screws and carefully remove
the analog circuit board. Removal of the analog circuit board will expose three inter-board wire
connections. Carefully remove three ferrite beads and six Teflon washers from the inter-board
connection wires. Attempt to maintain the position of the three inter-board wires in order to
simplify re-assembly. The digital board may now be extracted by removing four M2.0 machine
screws. Follow a reverse procedure to re-assemble.
3.5.5 Frequency Adjustment and Channel Selection
Connect a radio communications test set through a short section of low loss 50 Ω coaxial cable
to the synthesizer module SMB RF output jack (J2). Select the desired channel number via the
BCD frequency selection switches on the MT-3 Transmitter Main board or the MT-3 Receiver
IF/Audio board (or through .the Frequency Programming Module). Turn the power off and back
on and wait a few minutes for the oscillator to completely stabilize. It should be noted that the
internal synthesizer TCXO, if installed, operates continuously (regardless of the TX PTT state)
when installed in a transmitter.
3-4 Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 935 MHz
The measured RF output signal should be within ±1.0 ppm of the specified oscillator frequency
at an output level of +5 dBm. Note that unlocked synthesizer operation will be indicated by an
unstable or spurious RF output signal. The "Unlocked" red LED will also be illuminated when
the PLL is unlocked. Check that the requested channel number is within the frequency range of
the particular synthesizer model. An unlocked condition may be rectified by adjusting the VCO
tuning elements as described in the following procedures (no adjustment required for the
Multichannel AM Synthesizers). Note that there are variations in alignment procedures between
the three synthesizer family members as described in the following sections.
3.5.5.1 VHF OS(R/T)-3H 29 - 71.4 MHz VCO Alignment
Refer to the "OS(R/T)-3H 29 - 71.4 MHz Analog Board Component Layout" diagrams and the
"OS(R/T)-3H 29 - 71.4 MHz Analog Board Schematic Diagram" on pages 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3 of
this manual.
Using a high impedance (10 MΩ) DC Voltmeter, measure the PLL control voltage at TP4
located on the synthesizer module analog board (top). Access to TP4 is available through the
synthesizer top cover. Using a small standard blade screwdriver, carefully adjust the VCO fine
frequency "TUNE" trimmer capacitor C24 until a test point (TP4) voltage of approximately
+2.3 Vdc is obtained. PLL loop control voltages below approximately +0.5 Vdc and above
approximately +4.5 Vdc will indicate an "out of lock" synthesizer condition.
If a test point (TP4) reading of approximately +2.3 Vdc is unattainable through adjustment of
C24, then the coarse frequency jumpers, JU2-JU4 require modification in order to pull the VCO
tune range within the adjustment range of fine tuning capacitor C24. The top synthesizer cover
must be removed in order to gain access to the coarse frequency jumpers. The coarse frequency
jumpers (JU2-JU4) may be considered to be a selectable binary weighted capacitor element with
JU2 being the most significant "bit" and JU4 being the least significant "bit". The tuning
resolution size is ≈12 pF (JU4). If the tuning voltage remains higher than +2.3 Vdc, decrease the
tuning jumper setting by 1 "bit" position and re-adjust C24 in an attempt to achieve +2.3 Vdc at
TP4. For example, if coarse frequency jumpers JU2-JU4 are all installed and represented by 111
then a decrease by 1 "bit" position (12 pF) is represented by a binary jumper selection of 110;
jumper JU4 is not installed and jumpers JU2, JU3 are installed. Continue to decrease the jumper
position one "bit" at a time until the synthesizer regains lock with TP4 adjusted (C24) for
+2.3 Vdc. If the tuning voltage remains lower than +2.3 Vdc, increase the jumper setting by 1
"bit" position and re-adjust C24 in an attempt to achieve +2.3 Vdc at TP4. Repeat this procedure
until +2.3 Vdc is achieved at TP4.
It is important to check the loop control voltage at TP4 when multiple synthesizer channels have
been programmed. All channel selections should result in a TP4 voltage within a +1.0 to
+4.0 Vdc range. Adjust the fine-tuning capacitor C24 to center multiple channel voltages
symmetrically about +2.3 Vdc. Channel selections beyond the tuning range capability of the
Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 935 MHz 3-5
synthesizer will result in unlocked operation. The tuning range capability of all synthesizer
models is listed in the Specifications section (1.3) of this manual.
3.5.5.2 VHF OS(R/T)-3A 118 - 159.4 MHz Alignment
Refer to the "OS(R/T)-3A 118 - 159.4 MHz Analog Board Component Layout" diagram and the
"OS(R/T)-3A 118 - 159.4 MHz Analog Board Schematic Diagram" on pages 4-5, 4-6 and 4-7 of
this manual.
Using a high impedance (10 MΩ) DC Voltmeter, measure the PLL control voltage at TP4
located on the synthesizer module analog board (top). Access to TP4 is available through the
synthesizer top cover. VHF synthesizers operating in the 118 - 159.4 MHz frequency range
require no frequency adjustment as tuning is microprocessor controlled. (The OST-3A128 and
OSR-3A149, covering 118-138 MHz and 139.4 - 159.4 MHz respectively, provide full band
coverage without tuning adjustment.)
All channel selections should result in a TP4 voltage between +3.1 and +3.5 Vdc. Channel
selections beyond the tuning range capability of the synthesizer will result in unlocked operation
over the temperature range -40C to +60C. The tuning range capability of all synthesizer models
is listed in the Specifications section of this manual.
3.5.5.3 VHF OS(R/T)-3H 128 - 174 MHz VCO Alignment
Refer to the "OS(R/T)-3H 128 - 174 MHz Analog Board Component Layout" diagram and the
"OS(R/T)-3H 128 - 174 MHz Analog Board Schematic Diagram" on pages 4-9, 4-10 and 4-11 of
this manual.
Using a high impedance (10 MΩ) DC Voltmeter, measure the PLL control voltage at TP4
located on the synthesizer module analog board (top). Access to TP4 is available through the
synthesizer top cover. Using a small standard blade screwdriver, carefully adjust the VCO fine
frequency "TUNE" trimmer capacitor C24 until a test point (TP4) voltage of approximately
+2.3 Vdc is obtained. Measured PLL loop control voltages below approximately +0.5 Vdc and
above approximately +4.5 Vdc will indicate an "out of lock" synthesizer condition.
It is important to check the loop control voltage at TP4 when multiple synthesizer channels have
been programmed. All channel selections should result in a TP4 voltage within the +1.0 to
+4.0 Vdc range. Adjust the fine-tuning capacitor C24 to center multiple channel voltages
symmetrically about +2.3 Vdc. Channel selections beyond the tuning range capability of the
synthesizer will result in unlocked operation. The tuning range capability of all synthesizer
models is listed in the Specifications section of this manual.
3-6 Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 935 MHz
3.5.5.4 UHF OS(R/T)-3H 406 - 470 MHz VCO Alignment
Refer to the "OS(R/T)-3H 406 - 470 MHz Analog Board Component Layout" diagram and the
"OS(R/T)-3H 406 - 470 MHz Analog Board Schematic Diagram" on pages 4-13, 4-14 and 4-15
of this manual.
Using a high impedance (10 MΩ) DC Voltmeter, measure the PLL control voltage at TP4
located on the synthesizer module analog board (top). Access to TP4 is available through the
synthesizer top cover. The UHF synthesizers operating in the 406 - 470 MHz frequency range
employ integrated VCO modules having no external frequency adjustment capability. The
OST-3H418, OST-3H460 and OSR-3H440 models cover frequencies from 406 - 430 MHz,
450 - 470 MHz and 427.4 - 451.4 MHz respectively and provide full band coverage without
tuning adjustment. For the OST-3H418, measured PLL control voltages below approximately
+0.5 Vdc and above approximately +4.5 Vdc will indicate an “out of lock” condition. For the
OSR-3H440 and the OST-3H460, measured PLL control voltages below approximately
+1.0 Vdc and above approximately +7.0 Vdc will indicate an “out of lock” condition.
It is important to check the loop control voltage at TP4 when multiple synthesizer channels have
been programmed. All channel selections should result in a TP4 voltage within the +0.5 to
+4.5 Vdc range for the OST-3H418. The TP4 voltage for the OSR-3H440 and the OST-3H460
should be within the +1.0 to +7.0 Vdc range. Channel selections beyond the tuning range
capability of the synthesizer will result in unlocked operation. The tuning range capability of all
synthesizer models is listed in the Specifications section of this manual.
3.5.5.5 UHF OS(R/T)-3H 928 - 935 MHz VCO Alignment
Refer to the "OS(R/T)-3H 928 -935 MHz Analog Board Component Layout" diagram and the
"OS(R/T)-3H 928 - 935 MHz Analog Board Schematic Diagram" on pages 4-17, 4-18 and 4-19
of this manual.
Using a high impedance (10 MΩ) DC Voltmeter, measure the PLL control voltage at TP4
located on the synthesizer module analog board (top). Access to TP4 is available through the
synthesizer top cover. The UHF synthesizers operating in the 928 - 935 MHz frequency range
employ integrated VCO modules having no external frequency adjustment capability. The
OST-3H932 model covers frequencies from 928 - 935 MHz and provides full band coverage
without tuning adjustment. For the OST-3H932, measured PLL control voltages below
approximately +0.5 Vdc and above approximately +4.5 Vdc will indicate an “out of lock”
condition.
It is important to check the loop control voltage at TP4 when multiple synthesizer channels have
been programmed. All channel selections should result in a TP4 voltage within the +0.5 to
+4.5 Vdc range for the OST-3H932. Channel selections beyond the tuning range capability of
Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 935 MHz 3-7
the synthesizer will result in unlocked operation. The tuning range capability of all synthesizer
models is listed in the Specifications section of this manual.
3.5.5.6 Reference Frequency Alignment
Adjust the synthesizer TCXO fine frequency potentiometer RV1 until the correct output
frequency is achieved. Access to this potentiometer is through an opening in the synthesizer top
cover. A RF power level of approximately +5 dBm should be measured at the synthesizer
module output connector and the frequency should be within ±1 ppm of the desired operating
frequency. Reference frequency adjustments should be made at room temperature (+25°C) after
a ten minute stabilization period.
3-8 Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 935 MHz
3.5.6 Jumper Configuration
Solder jumpers are clearly marked on both synthesizer digital and analog circuit boards. Refer to
the "OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Digital Board Component Layout (Bottom)" diagram on page 4-20 of this
manual and the applicable "OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Analog Board Component Layout (Top)" diagram
on page 4-21 for jumper locations. The following list details the required jumper configuration
for the two synthesizer operating modes:
1) Internal reference. Install jumper JU1-B, on the Analog Board (Standard). The internal
temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) provides the reference signal with a
stability of ±1 ppm from -30°C (Optional -40°C) to +60°C.
2) External reference input. Install jumper JU1-A and JU2 on the Analog Board. This
mode is used in applications requiring better than ±1 ppm frequency stability. An
external reference signal must be provided at synthesizer SMB connector J1.
3) Reference Frequency Select. Install jumper JU2 on the Digital Board to select a
10.0 MHz reference frequency. When not installed, the reference frequency is by default
9.6 MHz. JU2 must not be installed when using the internal 9.6 MHz TCXO reference.
JU2 is used by the microcontroller to establish the correct reference frequency division
ratio. (Located on the Digital Board; The Synthesizer module must be removed to
change jumper JU2.)
4) AM Multichannel Synthesizer Select. Install jumper JU1 on the Digital Board to select
and enable the AM Multichannel Synthesizer with Frequency Select Handle.
Caution: Care must be exercised when reinstalling the synthesizer module on the Transmitter
Main board or the IF/Audio board. Pay careful attention to pin alignment before
pressing the synthesizer module into its mating sockets.
