Figure 1-5. QAM Modem Block Diagram
The QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) Modulator is the transmit portion of the QAM
Modem card. The QAM Modem also houses the IF Up/Down Converter. The QAM Modulator
utilizes the upconverter portion of the IF daughter card.
The QAM Modulator accepts the aggregate data stream via the backplane (see Figure 1-5
above). The module performs modulation at a carrier frequency of 6.4 MHz, adding FEC
(Forward Error Correction) bits while interleaving the blocks of data. The result is a very
spectrally efficient, yet robust linear modulation scheme. This process requires an ultra-stable

The resultant carrier is translated up to 70 MHz by the IF Upconverter (see Figure 1-6). This is
accomplished by a standard mixing of the carrier with a phase-locked LO. A 70 MHz SAW filter
provides an exceptional, spectrally-clean output signal.

System Description
Figure 1-7. RF Upconverter Block Diagram
The IF output carrier of the IF Upconverter daughter card is fed to the transmit portion of the RF
Module via an external (rear panel) semi-rigid SMA cable. This module performs the necessary
upconversion to the RF carrier (see Figure 1-7). There is an on-board CPU for independent
control of the critical RF parameters of the system.
Since this is a linear RF processing chain, an automatic leveling control loop (ALC) is
implemented here to maintain maximum available power output (and therefore maximum system
gain). The ALC monitors the PA forward power (FWD) output sample, and controls the
upconverter gain per an algorithm programmed in the CPU. The ALC also controls the power-up
RF conditions of the transmitter output.
1.5.4 Power Amplifier (PA)
The Power Amplifier (PA) is a separate module that is mounted to a heat sink and is fan-cooled
for reliable operation. The PA is a design for maximum linearity in an amplitude modulationbased system.

Figure 1-9. IF Downconverter Block Diagram
The QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) Demodulator is the receive portion of the QAM
Modem card. The QAM Modem also houses the IF Up/Down Converter. The QAM Demod
utilizes the downconverter portion of the IF daughter card.
The IF Downconverter receives the 70 MHz carrier from the receiver portion of the RF Module via
an external semi-rigid cable and directly converts the carrier to 6.4 MHz by mixing with a lownoise phase-locked LO (see Figure 1-9). System selectivity is achieved through the use of a 70
MHz SAW filter.
The QAM Demod receives and demodulates the 6.4 MHz carrier (see Figure 1-7). The
demodulation process includes the FEC implementation and de-interleaving that matches the
QAM modulator in the transmitter, and the critical “data assisted recovery” of the clock. This
process requires an ultra-stable master clock provided by an OCXO (oven controlled crystal
oscillator).
The output is an aggregate data stream that is distributed to the trunk port for if the data
input/output is out of the Modem, or to the backplane for connection to the multiplexer connected
on the backplane.

100 - 240 VAC; 50/60 Hz
The power supply module is removable from the unit and a perforated cage protects service
personnel from high voltage. The power supply is fan cooled due to high power consumption by
the PA.
CAUTION
High voltage is present when the unit is plugged in. To prevent electrical shock, unplug the power
cable before servicing. Power supply module should be serviced by qualified personnel only.

2.6.3 DC Input Option
An optional DC input power supply is available for the DATA-20; using high reliability, DC-DC
converter(s) capable of operation within the following input ranges (dependent upon nominal input
rating):
Nominal DC Input
Operating Input Range
24 Volt:
20 – 28 VDC
48 Volt:
32 – 64 VDC
The DC input is isolated from chassis ground and can be operated in a positive or negative
ground configuration. The power supply module is removable from the unit and no high voltages
are accessible.
2.6.4 Fusing
For AC modules, the main input fuse is located on the switching power supply mounted to the
carrier PC board and the protective cage may be removed for access to the fuse.
For DC modules, all fusing is located on the carrier PC board.
Always replace any fuse with same type and rating. Other fuses are present on the board, and
are designed for output fail-safe protection of the system. All output fuse values are printed on
the backside of the PC board to aid in replacement.
NOTE: If a fuse does blow in operation, investigate the possible cause of the failure prior to
replacing the fuse, as there is adequate built-in protection margin.
2.7 Power-Up Setting
As shipped, the DATA-20 will radiate into the antenna upon power-up, THIS ASSUMES THAT
THE ANTENNA LOAD IS GOOD (LOW VSWR). If the VSWR of the load causes a high reverse
power indication at the PA, the red VSWR LED will light and the transmitter will cease radiating.
This is called the “AUTO” setting in the QAM RADIO CONTROL screen (see below).
The LCD screen (“QAM RADIO TX CONTROL”) selects the power-up state and controls the
radiate function of the TX unit.

2.9 Hot Standby (Protected) Configuration
The DATA-20 may be installed in a hot standby (protected) configuration. This consists of
twoDATA-20 chassis with a TP64 transfer panel (Figure 2-5)
Transfer Panel Connection
The usual hot standby configuration uses an external duplexer. This minimizes RF losses and
provides independent TX and RX module switching. A duplexer should already be mounted on
the TP64 chassis. Alternatively, rack mounted duplexers (typical for tighter channel spacings)
may be provided. The connections are the same, although the physical location is different.
A power divider (used to split the signal equally to two receivers) is required in this mode. The
input to the power divider connects directly to the duplexer with an N-N (male) adapter.
See Figure 2-4 for installation details.

2.9.1 Hot/Cold Standby Modes
Hot Standby ( *preferred)
Hot standby leaves both transmitters in the RADIATE ON condition, and the transfer logic
controls the RF relay to select the active transmitter, thereby decreasing switchover time. This is
the preferred operating mode.
Cold Standby
Cold standby can be used in situations where lower power consumption is a priority. In this
mode, the transfer logic will control the RADIATE function of each transmitter, turning the RF

output ON (in tandem with the RF relay) as required for switching. This will increase switching
time and a corresponding increase in data loss during the switchover.

2.9.2.2
Master/Slave Operation & LED Status
The TP64 operates in a Master/Slave logic mode. In the power up condition, the Master is
RADIO A. This means that RADIO A is the default active unit. The following logic applies to hot
or cold standby, external or internal duplexer configurations.

A-Master Logic (default power-up):
If RADIO A is “good”, the TP64 will remain in RADIO A position, regardless of RADIO B’s status.
If RADIO A fails, the TP64 will switch to RADIO B (assuming that RADIO B is “good”)
If RADIO A then returns to a “good” condition, the TP64 will switch back to RADIO A (the default
Master)
Manual Switchover to B-Master Logic
The front panel switch on the TP64 can be used to manually force the system to a new Master.
By pressing the RADIO B button, RADIO B now becomes the Master, and the TP64 will
switchover to RADIO B (assuming that RADIO B is “good”).
The default A-Master Logic will then switch to B-Master Logic, as outlined in Tables 2-3 and 2-4.
DataNex
EMS Wireless, DATA-20 Digital Radio
2-13
Installation
Note: Manual switching of the Master is often used to force the system over to the standby unit.
The user may want to put more “time” on the standby unit after an extended period of
service. In Hot Standby configurations, this will not buy the user anything in terms of
reliability. In Cold Standby, the “burn time“ is more significant, since the RF power
amplifier device operating life becomes a factor.

Site Installation
The installation of the DATA-20 involves several considerations. A proper installation is usually
preceded by a pre-installation site survey of the facilities. The purpose of this survey is to
familiarize the customer with the basic requirements needed for the installation to go smoothly.
The following are some considerations to be addressed (refer to Figure 2-8 for Site Installation
Details).
Before taking the product to the installation site verify that the interface connections are
compatible with the equipment to be connected. Also, locate the information provided by the path
analysis that should have been performed before ordering the equipment. At the installation site,
particular care should be taken in locating the product in an area where it is protected from the
weather and as close to the antenna as possible. Locate the power source and verify that it is
suitable for proper installation.
The installations should only be performed by qualified technical personnel
only.

Antenna/Feed System
2.11.1 Antenna Installation
For compliance with FCC RF Exposure requirements the following has to be adhered to:-
1. All antenna installation and servicing is to be performed by qualified technical personnel
only. When servicing the antenna, or working at distances closer than those noted below,
ensure the transmitter has be disabled.
2. Typically, the antenna connected to the transmitter is a directional (high gain) antenna,
fixed-mounted on the side or top of a building, or on a tower. Depending upon the
application and the gain of the antenna, the total composite power could exceed 20 to
61watts EIRP. The antenna location should be such that only qualified technical
personnel can access it, and that under normal operating conditions the antenna
separation from the user is required to be located at the distance of 3.5meters or more.
EIRP at the antenna is calculated as follows:Transmit power – Cable loss + Antenna Gain
= EIRP

Typical Configuration
A typical installation of DATA-20 Digital Radios involves configuring each DATA-20 as either Data
Communications Equipment (DCE) or as Data Terminal Equipment (DCE), as illustrated below:

Telecom Equipm ent
Configured
as DCE
Configured

Repeater
(DCE coupled with a DTE)
Configured
as DCE
A DCE coupled together with a DTE enables the signal to be relayed to another DCE. This
configuration is called a Repeater. A network can consist of as many Repeaters as necessary.
The following sub-sections describe how to configure the DATA-20 a DCE or as a DTE.
3.4.19.2
DATA-20 as Data Communications Equipment (DCE)
By default, the DATA-20 is configured as Data Communications Equipment (DCE). In the mode,
the device recovers the transmitted clocks and effectively performs as a modem.
