GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
The UT-3/400
Amplifier
provides the final stage of RF
amplification
and
filtering
for the
entire
UHF
Transmitter
UT-3 406 -512 MHz family. The
amplifier
has four
distinct
frequency ranges:
406 to 430 MHz, 450 to 470 MHz, 470 to 490 MHz and 490 to 512 MHz as well as two
distinct
output power ranges: 0.5 to 2.0 Watts and 2.0 to 8.0 Watts. The UT-3/400
Amplifier
is housed in
a
machined
aluminum
case that ensures
optimum
RF shielding, provides a good
ground,
and also
acts as a heatsink.
Additionally,
the UT-3/400
Amplifier
is equipped with output power and VSWR sensing lines
which can be
individually
configured as open
collector
or
linear
outputs. The
internal
VSWR
sensor protects the
amplifier
from high
antenna
VSWR by
approximately
halving the amplifier's
RF gain when a VSWR overload
condition
is present.
Output
filtering
for the UT-3/400
Amplifier
is provided by the UT-3/400 Lowpass
Filter
Board.
The lowpass
filter
assembly is mounted in a
separate
compartment
of the
amplifier
case in order to
provided
maximum
attenuation
of
harmonic
and other spurious signals.

THEORY OF OPERATION
2.1
Amplifier Operation
The
operation
of the UT-3/400
Amplifier
varies
slightly
according
to whether the
amplifier
is a low
power
(0.5-2.0
W) or a high power
(2.0-8.0
W) version. The low power
amplifier
does not use
transistor Q1 to boost the output power; consequently, it does not require the
+13.8
Vdc supply.
In both versions the power control
circuitry
monitors the RF output power of
amplifier
U4 and
keeps the power constant. Therefore, the output power from the high power
amplifier
will change
as the
unregulated
+13.8
Vdc supply varies. Note that the frequency band does not change how the
amplifier
operates;
it only changes a few
component
values in the RF circuitry.
Power for the UT-3/400
Amplifier
is provided from the MT-3
Transmitter
Board. The
+13.8
Vdc
supply (if required) is
continuously
connected
to the
amplifier;
whereas, the
+9.5
Vdc supply is
always switched by the transmitter's PTT circuitry. The UT-3/400
Amplifier
will not consume any
power from the
+13.8
Vdc supply
until
+9.5
Vdc is switched on for the amplifier's
circuitry
and
an RF input signal is present. The synthesizer or crystal control module controls the
+9.5
Vdc to
the amplifier's
circuitry;
switching it on by grounding the amplifier's input
enable
line. The
synthesizer will ground the input
enable
line only when the
synthesizer's
RF signal is phase
locked. This prevents unwanted spurious emissions during
transmitter
start-up. A
typical
start-up
sequence is
listed
below:
1)
+13.8
Vdc is always present
2) the
transmitter
is keyed on
3)
+9.5
Vdc is switched on by the PTT
circuitry
and the synthesizer
or crystal control module PTT line is pulled low
4) an RF signal is output to the
amplifier
5) the amplifier's input
enable
line is
activated
6) the
amplifier
outputs RF power

Typical
current
requirements
for the UT-3/400
Amplifier
at
different
power levels are given in the
Table
2-1 below. The current drawn from the
+9.5
Vdc supply should never
exceed
1.2 Amps
and the current drawn from the

2.3 RF Circuitry
The RF
circuitry
consists of several blocks: a 5 dB input pad (R1, R2, and R3), an RF
amplifier
module
(U4),
an output power boosting transistor (Q1), three
directional
couplers (TL1, TL3, and
TL4), and the UT-3/400 Lowpass Filter. The heart of the UT-3/400
Amplifier
is RF
amplifier
module
U4.
This module
amplifies
a 1 mW signal up to a
maximum
of 2.0 W, at the
antenna
connector, for a low power unit. In high power units, the output of U4 is further
amplified
by Q1
to a
maximum
of 8.0 Watts at the
antenna
connector.
Capacitors
C17 and C24 provide tuning for
transistor
Q1's
input and output match.
Although
the input
match
and the output
match
for Q1 are
tunable, the networks have been made broadband so that the high power
amplifiers
will
operate
over the same frequency range as the low power amplifiers. The frequency band of the UT-3/400
Amplifier
is
determined
by the
operating
frequency range of the RF
amplifier
module
U4.
Directional
couplers (TL1, TL3, and TL4) are used to sample forward and reverse
power.
The
sampled power is used by the sensing and power control
circuits
to control the amplifier's
operation. The final step in the RF path is output
filtering
and, as
mentioned
earlier, this is done by
the UT-3/400 Lowpass Filter.
2.3.1
UT-3/400 Lowpass Filter
The UT-3/400 Lowpass
Filter
is a 50 ohm, 9 pole,
reciprocal
filter
with a 3 dB cutoff frequency of
approximately
512 MHz. The lowpass
filter
assembly
attenuates
the desired
signal's
harmonics as
well as any other out-of-band emissions so that a
'clean'
RF signal is output to the
antenna
connector.
DE
DANIELS
ELECTRONICS
UHF Amplifier Instruction Manual UT-3 406 - 512 MHz
2-3
2.4
Power Control Circuitry
The UT-3/400
Amplifier
employs a closed loop power control which uses a sample of the forward
RF power to control the gain of RF
amplifier
U4.
Op-amp U1b compares the sampled RF
voltage
to the output power
setpoint
and
generates
an error signal which Q3 uses to control the
voltage
on
U4's
gain control pin. The output power
setpoint
is
determined
by R7, the
Output
Power
Adjust
potentiometer.
In low power
amplifiers
jumper JU5 is
installed
and the forward power is sampled by TL3, D6,
C27, R18, L11, R19, and C28. In high power
amplifiers
jumper JU5 is not
installed
and the
forward power is sampled by TL1, D5, C14, R13, L6, R12, and C15. In both high power and
low power amplifiers, the power control
circuitry
keeps the output power of U4 constant.
Therefore, in high power amplifiers, the amplifier's output power will
fluctuate
with
variations
in
the
+13.8
Vdc supply voltage.
2.5
Power Sensing Circuitry
The UT-3/400
Amplifier
is equipped with output power and VSWR sensing lines which can be
individually
configured as open
collector
or
linear
outputs. In open
collector
configuration, the
output is
active
low, that is, when a fail
condition
is detected (not enough output power or too high
antenna
VSWR) the open
collector
transistor is turned on. In
linear
configuration, a
voltage
proportional
to the sensed output power or
antenna
VSWR is output.
Both the
Output
Power
Alarm
setpoint
and the VSWR
Alarm
setpoint
are
individually
adjustable;
however, the
Output
Power
Alarm
setpoint
must always be adjusted before the VSWR
Alarm
setpoint. This is because the
Output
Power
Alarm
setpoint
is used as a
reference
by the VSWR
Alarm
circuitry.
2.5.1 Output
Power Sense
The output power sense
circuitry
uses
directional
coupler TL3 to sample some of the forward
power.
The sampled power is
rectified
by diode D6 and
capacitor
C27 and then
amplified
by
op-amp
U3b.
Op-amp
U3b's
amplification
is
controlled
by R21, the output power
alarm
adjust
potentiometer.
The
amplified
voltage
is then output
directly
in
linear
operation
(JU1 installed, JU2
not
installed)
or
compared
to
+6.3
Vdc by op-amp U1a which then drives transistors Q5 and Q6
for open
collector
operatio
n (JU1 not installed, JU2 installed).
In open
collector
configuration, Q6 (the open
collector
output transistor) is turned on when an
alarm
condition
occurs. The
adjustment
range for the output power
alarm
can vary depending on
the
setting
of R21 (the
Output
Power
Alarm
Adjust
potentiometer).
DE
DANIELS
ELECTRONICS
2-4
UHF Amplifier Instruction Manual UT-3 406 - 512 MHz
2.5.2
VSWR Sense
The VSWR sense
circuitry
uses
directional
coupler TL4 to sample some of the power
reflected
from the
antenna
terminal. The
reflected
power is
rectified
by diode D7 and
capacitor
C33 and then
amplified
by op-amp
U2b.
Op-amp
U2b's
amplification
is
controlled
by R36, the VSWR
Alarm
Adjust
potentiometer.
The
amplified
voltage
is then output
directly
in
linear
operation
(JU4
installed, JU3 not
installed)
or
compared
to the output power
alarm
setpoint
by op-amp U3a which
then drives transistor Q7 for open
collector
operation
(JU4 not installed, JU3 installed).
In open
collector
configuration, Q7 (the open
collector
output transistor) is turned on when an
alarm
condition
occurs. The
adjustment
range for the VSWR
Alarm
can depending on the
setting
of R36 (the VSWR
Alarm
Adjust
potentiometer).
2.5.3 VSWR Overload
The VSWR overload
circuit
protects the UT-3/400
Amplifier
from excessive
antenna
VSWR by
reducing the amplifier's gain (output power) when an overload
condition
occurs. The VSWR
overload
circuit
(R38 to R41, R8,
U2a,
and Q4) is an extension of the VSWR sense
circuit
and
operates the same as the VSWR sense open
collector
circuit. The VSWR
Overload
Adjust
potentiometer
(R38) reduces the
voltage
level
of the VSWR
Alarm
Setpoint. The
voltage
set by
R38 is the
compared
to the output power
alarm
setpoint
by op-amp U2a which then drives
transistor Q4. When transistor Q4 turns on,
signaling
an overload condition, resistor R8 is
grounded which reduces the output power setpoint. Reducing the output power
setpoint
lowers the
UT-3/400 Amplifier's gain and protects the
amplifiers
from excessive current draw resulting from
high
antenna
VSWR.
The VSWR overload circuit's range of
adjustment
depends on the
setting
of the VSWR
Alarm
Adjust
potentiometer
(R36).
The VSWR overload transistor Q4 can be
activated
at the same point
at which the VSWR
alarm
becomes
active
or the VSWR overload
circuit
can be disabled by turning
R38
completely
counterclockwise.

UT-3/400 AMPLIFIER ALIGNMENT
3.1
General
Connections to the power supply,
alarm
and
transmit
enable
lines (ENA), are
clearly
marked on the
amplifier
case. The
amplifier
is
enabled
when the
enable
line (ENA) is grounded.
If the
amplifier
is
installed
in the transmitter,
alignment
is
simplified
by using an SR-3 Subrack,
SM-3 System Monitor, and RF
extender
cable
to provide
transmitter
power and signal
interconnection
(see the
Transmitter
Main
Board
Manual
for details). For
complete
transmitter
alignment, the
Transmitter
Main
Board, Synthesizer,
Amplifier,
and Audio Processor should be
tuned in the
aforementioned
order. Please refer the corresponding manuals for each module.
If the input RF
level
is not changed,
adjustments
to the output power and
alarm
thresholds may be
made without removing the
amplifier
cover.
However,
in the case of a
complete
amplifier
alignment, the
amplifier
should be
separated
from the
Transmitter
Main
Board and the
amplifier
cover removed to expose all
amplifier
circuitry.
All
jumpers and test points are
clearly
marked.
3.2 Repair Note
The UT-3/400
Transmitter
is
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
manual
vacuum type desoldering tools when removing jumpers. This will help prevent
damage
to
the circuitboards.

for the RF transistors and (ii) the RF
threshold
adjustments
which set up the desired
alarm
threshold levels as well as the RF output
power.
The
general
alignment
procedure is required following major repair operations, changes in
RF input levels or large changes in
operating
frequency
(greater
than ± 1.0 MHz).
The RF output and
alarm
threshold
level
adjustments
are more easily
accessible
so that fine
adjustments
can be made in the field.
Depending
on user requirements, the RF
alarm
threshold
levels should be
checked
whenever a
significant
change in
operating
frequency (± 0.5 MHz) is
made. As the
antenna
VSWR
alarm
is
dependent
on the output power alarm, the output power
alarm
should always be set first. The order of
adjustment
should be:
The
adjustment
procedures for the high power and the low power version
amplifiers
are
identical
after the
matching
for transistor Q1 is tuned in the high power version. As the
antenna
VSWR
alarm
is
dependent
on the output power alarm, the output power
alarm
should always be set first.
The order of
adjustment
should be:
1) High Power
Amplifiers
Only — Tune the transistor
matching
circuit
at the
desired frequency and
power.
2) Set the desired output power
alarm
level
(section
3.6.2.2).
3) Set the desired output power
level
(section
3.6.2.3).
4) Set the desired
Antenna
VSWR
alarm
level
(section
3.6.
2.4).
5) Set the desired overload
condition
level
(section
3.6.2.5).
Details
for the
preceding
four steps are
outlined
below.
3.6.2.1
General Set-Up
1 Connect the transmitter's
antenna
output
connector
to the type N input of the radio
communications
test set through a short section of low loss 50 Ω
coaxial
cable.
2 Turn all four (4) of the
adjustment
potentiometers
(R7, R21, R36, and R38) fully
counterclockwise.

3 Turn on the power to the transmitter.
4 For high power
amplifier
units, follow steps 5 to 7 below. For low power amplifiers,
skip to the
Output
Power
Alarm
procedure.
5 Tune the output
matching
capacitor
for
maximum
output
power.
This should be
approximately
8 Watts.
6 For single frequency applications, tune the input
matching
capacitor
so that
+9.5
Vdc
current is
minimized
without
sacrificing
output
power.
For wideband
applications
it
is best to tune the
amplifier
at the highest frequency in the band of
interest
and then
tune the input
matching
capacitor
so that the
+9.5
Vdc current never exceeds 1.2
amps over the desired frequency band.
7 For single frequency applications, re-peak the output
matching
capacitor. For
wideband
applications
it is best to tune the
amplifier
at the highest frequency in the
band of
interest
and then re-peak the output
matching
capacitor
so that the
+13.8
Vdc
current never exceeds 1.5 amps over the desired frequency band.

Output Power Alarm (Forward Power)
Open
Collector
Output
*
note:
the output power
alarm
output is factory configured as an open
collector
output
so a pull-up resistor may be required on
transmitter
pin B26 if one is not
already
present.
1
Adjust
R7, the output power adjustment, to the output power at which the
Output
Power
Alarm
is to be
activated.
2
Monitor
transmitter
pin B26, the
Output
Power
Alarm
line, and slowly turn R21, the
output power
alarm
adjustment, clockwise
until
pin B26 goes low. The
alarm
is now
set for the current output power of the transmitter.
