ATSC TRANSMITTER
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The ATSC TRANSMITTER is an 8-VSB ATSC professional exciter, designed for the most demanding
digital TV broadcasting applications. It integrates a modulator module with up-to-date FPGA technology and
advanced digital signal processing algorithms in order to generate an absolutely accurate output 8-VSB signal,
with exceptionally optimized modulation and the output filtering techniques.
Very high linearity performances are possible thanks to very careful RF design over the entire VHF and UHF
bands and with an optimal digital precorrection engine working simultaneously in the time and frequency
domains. A high degree of reliability is guaranteed, moreover, by the use of oversized cooling devices and by
control circuits operated by modern microprocessor technologies.
The ATSC TRANSMITTER can be used as a stand-alone 5W RMS transmitter or as a driver stage for
amplifiers of greater power. The excellent spectral purity of the conversion oscillator lets the ATSC
TRANSMITTER radiate an 8-VSB signal with an excellent MER value.
The ATSC TRANSMITTER is equipped with a powerful ASI/SMPTE inputs management block which
allows to manage the Transport Stream (TS) inputs in a fully redundant configuration, thus significantly improving
the reliability of the whole broadcasting system in every operating condition.
The ATSC TRANSMITTER is totally compliant to the A/53, A/54 and A/64 ATSC recommendations with
6MHz output channel bandwidth, in VHF and UHF bands.
1.2 MAIN FEATURES
- Compact and cost competitive;
- Top-quality air cooling system;
- Agile output frequency step 1Hz over VHF and UHF bands;
- Complies and exceeds the ATSC recommendations;
- Multi-platform remote control;
- User-friendly Graphical User Interface;
- Very high power efficiency thanks to accurate digital precorrection;
- Easy frequency synchronization.

1.4 OPERATIONAL DETAILS
All the sections of the ATSC TRANSMITTER, as showed in the block diagram above, are described in this
chapter in order to give the user a general understanding of the operations of the equipment.
1.4.1 TS INPUT MANAGEMENT
The ATSC TRANSMITTER is equipped with 2 ASI inputs and 2 SMPTE-310M inputs. Each input standard
is available with two inputs in order to enable redundant operation for the transport stream input. You can
decide to operate with SMPTE input or with ASI input depending on your network interfacing needs. In
either case a complete redundancy is guaranteed thanks to a duplicated input.
The ATSC transmission scheme is built over a very stable and accurate data stream clock. The SMPTE-
310M data clock shall have the exact standardized clock frequency. The modulator module takes its
synchronization from this input data stream to be able to recover the same clock frequency. If an external
clock reference is used (10 MHz), the global clock synchronization might be plesiochronous (i.e. not perfect
synchronization between the multiplexer clock and the modulator reference clock). In that case, it is
recommended to enable the "bit rate adaptation" on the ATSC TRANSMITTER.
When this mode of operation is enabled, the input processing module discards or inserts Null Packets in order
to adapt the MPEG-TS input bit rate to the precise bit rate defined by the ATSC recommendation. PCR re-
stamping is then executed accordingly.
The switching is not expected to be seamless. However, in case of feeding the exact data stream on both
inputs (Primary & Secondary), then the ATSC TRANSMITTER performs a seamless switching from one to
the other input. Switching is always performed on a packet basis.
The user may enable or disable the automatic mute when an error on the SMPTE-310M or on the ASI input
is detected (Mute on Input Error feature). The delay for the detection of the lost of SMPTE-310M is 1
second from its occurrence. In case the user disables the automatic mute, null packets are inserted in order to
feed the modulator section with the exact ATSC bit rate.
The user can enable the PRBS test mode (see Test Modes paragraph for more informations) in order to
ignore the real input streams and use a pseudo-random bit sequence. If PRBS test mode is active, the RF
output is not muted even if the “Mute on Input Error” feature is enabled and no valid stream is present at the
input.
- Redundacy management
When set in Automatic Switching mode (default), the input management unit automatically switches to the
other input if no valid MPEG trasport stream is detected on the active input. If the user chooses to operate in
Manual Switching mode, the selected input remains active even if it isn't valid.
The periodic occurrence of the Sync byte in the MPEG-TS packets is used to decide the validity of the
stream.
24
- Smart Switching
The modulator input interface includes an advanced management feature, called Smart Switching, that allows
an automatic switching from the primary to the secondary MPEG-TS input in case of errors on the Transport
Stream packets. The Smart Switching feature can be enabled or disabled.
The Smart Switching is based on a counter and a threshold: erroneous packets counter (Err Counter) and
erroneous packets threshold (Err Threshold). The input processing section of the modulator counts consecutive
erroneous packets and compare them with the Err Threshold: if the Err Counter goes over the Err Threshold,
the switching to the other input takes place. From now on, the modulator compare the Err Counter of the new
input with the Err Threshold.
Errors detected by the modulator that increase Err Counter are the stream synchronization error (TS_sync_loss
and Sync_byte_error as described in ETSI TR 101 290) and RS decoding failure (only for 204-bytes MPEG
packets on ASI inputs).
Together with Smart Switching feature, it's also possible to enable the Auto Switch Back feature in order to
configure a priority input that is active when it is valid. This sub-feature is based on another counter and
another threshold: valid packets counter (Ok Counter) and valid packets threshold (Ok Threshold). When
the Auto Switch Back feature is enabled, the currently active input is assumed as the priority input. After a
Smart Switching to the secondary input (as described above), the priority input is selected again if its Ok
Counter goes over the Ok Threshold.
In this way it's possible to configure a histeresis that avoid false switching with noisy inputs.
The OK Threshold and Err Threshold can be freely changed to finely adjust the switching histeresis (default
values for OK Threshold is 5, for Err Threshold is 80000).
- Reed Solomon FEC
If the ASI incoming inputs (note: only for ASI input mode) include the Reed Solomon codes (204 bytes
packets), the module performs the error correction thanks to the 16 RS bytes.
- Bit rate adaptation
When operating in ASI input mode, the input management unit can perform an automatic bit-rate adaptation,
if required. When this mode of operation is activated, the unit automatically removes and/or inserts null packets
in order to adapt the incoming ASI bit-rate to the exact bit-rate defined by the ATSC recommendation. PCR
restamping is then executed in real time.
- Squelch
The RF output signal can be muted if one of the following conditions occurs:
- a hardware problem is present (for example, the amplifier temperature is too high, the modulator does not
communicate with the controller and so on);
25
- an error in the input signals is present (input TS missing and Mute on input error feature enabled).
In the first condition, the output is muted to protect valuable internal parts of the equipment and/or save
power. In the second condition, the output is muted because the signal is most probably unusable by receivers.
This muting action is known as Squelch.
In a dual drive or 1+1 transmitter, the changeover control unit should discriminate if the output power reduction
is caused by a hardware problem (the changeover takes place) or by an input signal problem (the changeover
is not performed). The user can change the meaning of the digital output in the TLM port choosing "Alarm"
(useful to interface a custom remote control system) or "Squelch" (useful to interface a changeover control
unit).
1.4.2 SYNCHRONIZATION AND CLOCKS
The ATSC TRANSMITTER includes its own clock and synchronization generator. A high stability 10MHz
VCTCXO provides the internal clock reference to the clock system of the digital processing section of the
equipment. An external 10MHz reference may be used if a higher stability is needed, or if there is a need to
lock the modulator processing clock or the output carrier frequency to an external reference (i.e. operation in
frequency offset mode).
In special cases, the 10MHz internal clock may be locked to the system clock embedded into the ASI/
SMPTE input signal. In this case, you can not enable the Bit-Rate Adaptation function and the input bit rate
has to be the exact ATSC bit-rate (19.392658Mbit/s). If the ATSC TRANSMITTER is set up to operate
with either of the two external references (from ASI/SMPTE input or from the external 10MHz reference), it
will automatically switch to the internal reference if the external reference is missing. The switching from the
external 10MHz reference to the 10MHz internal clock is totally seamless. The processing clock of the
numerical section of the ATSC TRANSMITTER is always locked to the internal or to the external 10MHz
reference.
1.4.3 OUTPUT SIGNAL
The ATSC TRANSMITTER output signal is available at the output labelled RF OUT on a 50Ω N-type
female connector. The frequency of the output signal can be set in the VHF and UHF bands, depending on the
model type. The frequency can be set by choosing the standard/channel/offset combination (for example,
UHF standard, channel 45 and offset 0Hz) or by choosing directly the center frequency of the output signal.
An attenuated version of the output signal is available at the RF Monitor terminal located on the front panel of
the equipment. The maximum nominal output level is 5W RMS, the output power level can be controlled in
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) mode or in manual mode and can be adjusted by the rotating knob located
on the front panel. The output signal may be muted either manually by the user or automatically depending on
some given conditions. The mute can be direct (abrupt muting) or progressive (linearly decreasing function).
26
1.4.4 NON-LINEAR PRECORRECTION
Any solid-state or tube power amplifier will produce intermodulation distortion when fed by the ATSC 8-
VSB signal. Non-linear precorrection is used to compensate the effects of these distortions in order to radiate
a signal with the maximum possible MER value.
The ATSC TRANSMITTER is able to perform non-linear precorrection over a 20MHz bandwidth. For this
purpose, two tables (AM-AM and AM-PM) of maximum 16 taps are used by the modulator.
The AM-AM precorrection table defines the AM-AM curve that will be applied to the output spectrum. For
each tap, the abscissa can be defined from -12dB to +12dB by 0.1dB step and the ordinate can be defined
from -6dB to +6dB by 0.05dB step.
The AM-PM precorrection table defines the AM-PM curve that will be applied to the output spectrum. For
each tap, the abscissa can be defined from -12dB to +12dB by 0.1dB step and the ordinate can be defined
from -25 degrees to +25 degrees by 0.2 degrees step.
Up to 10 non-linear precorrection curves (10 AM-AM and 10 AM-PM tables) can be downloaded and
saved into the equipment memory. For each curve a 10-characters name is associated. By using the local or
remote control it is possible to disable the non-linear precorrection at all or activate one of the saved curves.
Besides the 10 customizable curves, a non-customizable "Null" curve is always available: the AM-AM and
AM-PM tables of this curve are filled by zeros.
1.4.5 LINEAR PRE-CORRECTION
Any output cavity filter will produce amplitude and group delay distortion over the DTMB signal generated by
the transmitter. Linear precorrection is used in order to exactly compensate these distortions in order to
generate a signal which is maximally flat both in amplitude and group delay.
The DTMB TRANSMITTER is able to perform amplitude and group delay correction over the full spectrum
of the output signal.
Up to 2 linear precorrection curves can be downloaded and saved into the equipment memory. For each
curve a 10-characters name is associated. By using the local or remote control it is possible to disable the
linear precorrection at all or activate one of the saved curve. Besides the 2 customizable curves, a non-
customizable “Null” curve is always available: the table of this curve is filled by zeroes.
1.4.6 CONTROL OF THE EQUIPMENT
The ATSC TRANSMITTER can be controlled by means of a user-friendly LCD graphical interface with a
single rotating knob for the menu navigation and for the selections or remotely through a RS232, RS485 or
TELEMEASURES port. The functions of the local and remote control are:
- Setting the operating mode of the ATSC TRANSMITTER and the associated parameters. All these parameters
are stored in a local memory, so the previous operating mode is automatically restored each time after a
27
power cycle.
- Monitoring the status of the equipment.
- Recording events and alarms.
- Firmware upgrades.
- Digital Precorrection through RS232 port and dedicated PC software interface.
1.4.7 TEST MODES
Two test modes are available, to be used only for laboratory or field test. The test modes are directly accessible
from the user menus and are:
1) PRBS Sequence: the ASI/SMPTE input signals are ignored and a 23-bit PRBS sequence replaces the
input payload of the MPEG-TS packets. This test allows measurements on the modulated signal without
the need of a valid ASI/SMPTE input signal.
2) Single Tone: the normal 8-VSB output spectrum is switched off and replaced by a sinusoidal output useful
for frequency converters alignment.
Note: If test mode 2) is active, the ATSC TRANSMITTER does not generate a valid ATSC 8-VSB signal.
1.4.8 POWER HANDLING
After the ATSC TRANSMITTER is powered on, it starts radiating a valid ATSC 8-VSB signal within a short
time. The maximum initial power-on delay is about 20s as factory default value. Any modification of this initial
power-on delay is to be done with the support of the Elettronika Customer Service.
If a valid MPEG-TS signal is received over one of the ASI/SMPTE inputs, then the equipment will immediately
generate the signal on the RF output. In absence of a valid MPEG-TS signal the equipment can be set to be
muted or not.
Enabling the muting function is possible by the user menus, as explained in the Menu Management section of
the present manual.
All the working parameters of the ATSC TRANSMITTER are stored into a non-volatile memory in the
modulator section, so that there is no need to restore the parameters after a power off/on cycle.
The power handling is characterized by 3 states: MUTE, POWER UP and POWER ON.
z MUTE (POWER LED off, fan off): the internal amplifier is switched off by inhibiting the RF transistors
gate.
z POWER UP (POWER LED blinking, fan on): the internal amplifier is switched on and the output power,
starting from -3dB to the final level, is slowly increased following a linear ramp law.
z POWER ON (POWER LED on, fan on): the internal amplifier is switched on (normal working operation).
28
Moving from MUTE to POWER ON state (for example, after switching on or when an active alarm disappears)
is performed by moving through a temporary POWER UP state. Instead, moving from POWER ON to
MUTE state (for example, when a serious alarm occurs or the ASI/SMPTE inputs are corrupted or absent)
is immediate.
1.4.9 ALARMS AND AUTOMATION
The ATSC TRANSMITTER is fully protected against any malfunctioning event that could damage the expensive
internal components. The user should clearly understand what happens in presence of alarms and warnings,
in order to face these situations properly and reduce the inactivity time.
In case of any alarm condition, the ALARM LED on the front panel lights up and a bell icon appears in the
status bar of the display. When the alarm condition ceases, the ALARM LED is turned off and the bell icon
starts blinking, in order to show that an anomaly occurred since the last visit to the log. To know the details
about the alarm event (for example the time and date of its occurrence), the log menu can be used. Once the
user enters the log screen, the bell icon disappears. When you note an active alarm (the bell icon is shown and
not blinking and the ALARM LED
is on), go to the ALARM screen to see which alarms are present. For certain dangerous situations, the ATSC
TRANSMITTER immediately switches off the output power, by acting on the RF power transistors gate, in
order to save the internal parts from an unrecoverable damage. When the alarm disappears, the power is
automatically switched on again. Once the output power has been inhibited for 5 times, the ATSC
TRANSMITTER goes into "Lockout" state: the power remains off until the user resets the Lockout condition,
or switches the equipment off for repair. After one hour from the last alarm and without the Lockout condition,
the Lockout counter is automatically cleared. The list of the automatic interventions in case of anomalies can
be found below.
z Amplifier Voltage
An amplifier power supply voltage alarm occurs when the monitored voltage is outside the nominal level
±10% range. The nominal voltage level is a factory setting (usually, 28V). This alarm does not trigger a
powering off of the output signal. If the monitored voltage is near 0V, most probably the fuse located near the
power amplifier stage is burned.
z Amplifier Current
An amplifier power supply current alarm occurs when the monitored current drained by the amplifier is 20%
above the nominal level. The nominal current level is a factory setting. This alarm does not trigger a powering
off of the output signal.
z Amplifier Temperature
The temperature is monitored on the hottest point, located near the power amplifier stage on the cooling heat
sink. If the fans work well, and the ambient temperature is inside the working conditions limits, all of the
29
internal parts should reach safe temperature levels. In some circumstances (for example, when a fan is blocked
or damaged), the temperature may increase too much, and some internal components may break. In order to
avoid this unpleasant situation, a temperature alarm occurs when the temperature is over a maximum threshold
(75°C). This alarm triggers an immediate powering off of the output signal and an increase of the lockout
counter.
The power will be switched on again only when the temperature goes below a second threshold, lower than
the first (70°C).
z Forward and Reflected Powers
A forward or reflected power alarm occurs when the relevant monitored power level is over a threshold
(factory setting). Both alarms trigger an immediate powering off of the output signal and an increase of the
lockout counter.
You can see the levels of the power thresholds in the Amplifier menu (see the Menu Management paragraph).
z Power supply voltages (+5V, +12V, -12V)
Besides the amplifier power supply voltage (+28V), the ATSC TRANSMITTER uses three additional main
voltages: +5V, +12V, -12V. These voltages are continuously monitored by the control system and any variation
above 10% of the nominal value generates an alarm condition. This alarm does not trigger a powering off of
the output signal.
z No communication, Temperature and Generic modulator alarm
The ATSC Modulator module continuously communicates with the control system. If this communication fails,
the control board triggers a “No communication” alarm. This is a serious malfunction that must be solved as
soon as possible. In presence of a no communication alarm, the control system isn’t able to know the working
condition of the modulator (for example, the modulated output signal level), so it inhibits the power amplifier
stage and the output power is muted. uring normal working conditions, the internal temperature of the modulator
could increase above a safe threshold. In this case, the control system triggers a “Modulator over-temperature”
alarm and the output power is muted to let the temperature decrease.
As the modulator is a complex piece of hardware and software, other erroneous and/or dangerous conditions
could happen. In this cases, the control system triggers a generic “Modulator Error” alarm.
z External reference alarm
When external or ASI/SMPTE reference is set, the modulator continuously monitors the presence of such
reference. If it is not able to find a correct signal, it automatically switches to the internal reference. In this
situation, an external reference alarm is triggered. This alarm does not trigger a powering off event. See the
Synchronization and Clocks paragraph for more information.
z ASI/SMPTE inputs alarm
There are several conditions related to input streams that could trigger an alarm, depending on the working
30
conditions. They are:
- MPEG-TS synchronization missing;
- uncorrected input packet (only in 204 RS coded mode with ASI input mode);
- bit rate underflow/overflow (only if bit rate adaptation is performed).
The above conditions trigger an alarm only for the input which is currently used by the ATSC TRANSMITTER.
1.4.10 AGC: IMPLEMENTATION AND DETAILS
The use of external AGC helps the ATSC TRANSMITTER to maintain stable the output power of a high-
power transmitter. With a menu setting (see the Menu Management paragraph) you can choose among
stabilizing the output power of the exciter (external AGC disabled) or stabilizing the output power of a high-
power transmitter (external AGC enabled). In this case a proper cabling between the ATSC TRANSMITTER
and the high-power amplifier stage is necessary. The cable (AGC cable) shall be connected to the TLM port
of the ATSC TRANSMITTER on one side. In the following table the three signals and pins used in the TLM
port are listed. The pinout connection of the cable depends on the specific amplifier used. Refer to your
amplifier user's manual to find the port and pins of the corresponding signal.
PIN I/O DESCRIPTION
4 I Forward Power (0-5V)
5-GND
8 I Alarm (GND=Alarm / Open=Normal)
The AGC goal is to maintain the output power stable. Output power in fact can change due to the increase of
the amplifier temperature. Note that when you change the operating frequency the output power changes due
to the different gain at different frequency, but this change is not stabilized by the AGC algorithm. The transmitter
power to be stabilized is read from TLM port.
To keep the power stable, the AGC changes the power gain of the ATSC TRANSMITTER.
The AGC algorithm is based on the acquisition of the optimal output power level, stored when you confirm the
output power level in the Power menu (see the Menu management paragraph) and the use of 4 thresholds
as below:
____action threshold
________goal threshold
___________optimal power value
________goal threshold
____action threshold
31
The distance of the thresholds from the optimal value is of ±20mV and ±30mV measured as monitor voltage.
The AGC changes the output power to bring the power from the amplifier inside the goal thresholds range.
When this goal is achieved, the AGC stops until the power goes outside the action thresholds range.
The AGC is stopped immediately (output power remains blocked to the value reached at the moment in
which the AGC stops) when one of the following conditions occurs:
z RF output is muted for an alarm condition or user setting;
z the AGC is chosen as external but the amplifier stage triggers an alarm;
z the ATSC TRANSMITTER output power is too low;
z the AGC has corrected the output power too much.
In order to simplify the understanding of the AGC behaviour, the status of the external AGC is written in the
Power menu (Ext AGC Status parameter). The possible statuses of the AGC are listed below.
z Disabled: external AGC is disabled.
z Idle: external AGC is stopped (for example, during the slow increase of the power immediately after
switching on the equipment).
z Low Set: external AGC is stopped because external power reading was too low when the nominal output
power has been chosen.
z Alarm: external AGC is stopped because an alarm signal from the power amplifier stage is active.
z Locked: the transmitter output power has reached the desired level.
z Max/Min: external AGC is stopped because the power correction is too high.
z Pull Up/Down: external AGC is moving the power level up or down.
Warning! When changing from AUTO to MANUAL power control mode, the external AGC will be disabled.
32
33
1.14.11 LOG
The ATSC TRANSMITTER is provided with an internal non-volatile memory used to store up to 200 events
in a log. For each event, the date, time and a description are stored in order to help the user in understanding
the sequence of the events and the cause of each alarm.
The log can be viewed locally on the display (see the LOG screen in the Menu Management paragraph)
or by remote. It is possible to clear the log contents only locally.
The events are organized from the last one: the first event in the log is the last that happened. The second is the
previous event compared to the first, and so on.
When the log is full (i.e., 200 events are stored), the new events will replace the older ones, like in a FIFO
(first in/first out) queue.
The type of events that can be stored in the log are:
z Power supply on from mains voltage
z Mute settings (automatic/manual) changed
z Remote/local control changed
z Lockout
z Amplifier voltage alarm
z Amplifier current alarm
z orward power alarm
z Reflected power alarm
z Temperature alarm
z Power supply voltage (-12V, +12V or +5V) alarm
z Modulator no communication, over temperature, general error alarm
z External reference alarm
z ASI/SMPTE inputs related alarms

3.1 LOCAL CONTROL
A large number of options of the ATSC TRANSMITTER can be easily and intuitively controlled through the
human-to-machine interface on the right side of the front panel. This is composed by a graphic display, a
clickable knob and three LEDs.
Right after switching on, a screen showing the initialization process appears on the display. During this time the
controller checks the good communication among internal parts of the equipment.
3.2 LEDs
Near the display three status LEDs allow to gather information concerning the general status of the system
without having to look at the display. Their meaning is explained in the table below.
LED COLOUR DESCRIPTION
ON Green
The ON LED is lit when the power is on. It blinks during
the power increase stage. It is off if the output is muted
(see the Power handling paragraph)
REMOTE Yellow The REMOTE LED is lit when the remote control is
enabled
ALARM Red The ALARM LED lights up if some alarm is active
3.3 MENU MANAGEMENT
After the initialization screen, the DIAGRAM screen is shown on the display. It represents a simple diagram
of the machine: ASI/SMPTE inputs, the ATSC modulator, the up-converter and the amplifier. The most
41
important parameters are also shown in this screen. Pressing the knob while in this menu you will be directed
to the RF Power menu for a quick intervention during emergency situations.
3.3.1 TITLE BAR
On the top of the display, the title bar is shown. It is always visible during browsing the various menus and
screens. In the bar two pieces of information are present.
• The name of the screen is displayed on the left (DIAGRAM in the case of the first screen). During settings
change, a confirmation question could appear in this part of the titlebar (see later).
• The actual time is on the right side of the bar. The colon symbol between hours and minutes blinks every
second in order to indicate the progress of time.
3.3.2 STATUS BAR
On the bottom of the display, the status bar is shown. It is always visible while browsing the various menus and
screens. In the bar five pieces of information are present, as described in the following list (the order is from
the left to the right of the bar).
• The bell icon ( ) on the left gives the user some information about alarm conditions that are present or that
occurred in the past. The icon can be absent, present or blinking. The meanings of these conditions are
detailed in the following table.
ICON DESCRIPTION
Absent No alarms are present and no alarms occurred since the last visit to the log
Present At least an alarm is present at the moment
Blinking An alarm occurred since the last visit to the log, but no alarm is present at this moment
• The lock icon ( ) at the right of the bell icon is displayed when the control is password-locked (see later in
this manual for more information about password locking). When the user unlocks it by typing the correct
password, the lock icon disappears.
42
• The Forward Power is shown about at the centre of the status bar. It is indicated in Watt. This is the power
as it is measured by the directional coupler at the very last stage of the power amplifier, just before the
output connector. When the RF is muted, the word MUTE is shown instead of the output power.
• The Reflected Power is shown next to the Forward Power. It is indicated in Watt. This is the power as it is
measured by the directional coupler at the very last stage of the power amplifier, just before the output
connector. When the RF is muted, the word MUTE is shown instead of the Reflected Power.
• The Temperature is shown at the rightmost side of the status bar. It is indicated in Centigrade degrees. This
temperature is measured by a sensor located near the hottest spot of the cooling heat sink of the power
amplifier stage. When a temperature alarm is present (the temperature is over the threshold), the tempera-
ture indication in the status bar blinks.
3.3.3 DIAGRAM SCREEN
The DIAGRAM screen represents a general schematic view of the ATSC TRANSMITTER. The most important
working settings are written using a small-size font. By looking at this diagram, the user can have a general
overview of the equipment status. On the left there is the input section, showing ASI1/ASI2 or SMPTE1/
SMPTE2 depending on the selection made in INPUTJCONFIGURATION menu. In ASI mode, the upper
ASI1 text appears when a valid ASI1 input stream is present. The lower ASI2 text appear when a valid ASI2
input stream is present. These words blink if a bad input stream is detected. The behaviour is identical in
SMPTE mode with a difference only in the strings: SMPTE1 and SMPTE2 instead of ASI1 and ASI2.
The presence of the string indicates only the presence of a corresponding input stream. The actual input
stream used by the modulator is shown by a horizontal line starting from the input name and entering the
modulator. Next to the input section, the modulator block is drawn. On top of the rectangle, the ATSC mode
is written: 8-VSB. The word MODUL blinks if any error associated to the modulator is present.
At the bottom of the modulator rectangle, there is the external reference block. If a valid reference is detected,
the REF rectangle is drawn. If the external reference is actually used by the modulator, a vertical line connect
the REF to the MODUL rectangles. If the user choose to use the external reference, but a good reference
can't be detected, the REF rectangle blinks. Immediately on the right, the up-converter block is drawn. On
top of the rectangle, the RF channel number is written if the frequency is chosen by standard/channel couple.
Nothing appears if the frequency is set manually. The triangle on the right represents the power amplifier and
an hypotetical antenna connected to it. From the output of the power amplifier, two lines start: they indicates
the output power and the reflected power measures shown in the status bar at the bottom of the display.
3.3.4 BROWSING THE MENUS AND PARAMETERS
The user can browse the menus, see the parameters values, change the settings of the machine and make all
the operations simply by using the knob located on the right of the display. The knob can be rotated left or
right and be pushed.
43
From the first screen (DIAGRAM screen), it is possible to rotate the knob to the left to enter the MAIN
MENU screen.
In this screen six icons (INPUT, MOD, RF, SETUP, LOG, ALM) are shown, arranged in 2 lines of 3 icons.
The selected icon is drawn in reverse colours. By moving from the DIAGRAM screen, the selected icon will
be ALM, as in figure above. It is possible to select the other icons by rotating the knob again to the left. By
rotating the knob to the right, it is possible to select the icons in the opposite order. When the ALM icon is
selected, rotate the knob to the right to go back to the DIAGRAM screen again.
When an icon is selected, click the knob to enter the associated menu. For example, by clicking the knob
when the RF icon is selected, the menu related to the RF signal is shown.

The ATSC TRANSMITTER is a complex piece of equipment and its setting could be a difficult task. The
multitude of parameters are arranged in six tree-like menus, starting from the six top-level menu icons. In this
way, it is simpler and more comfortable to find the desired parameter.
3.3.5 COMPOSITION OF A MENU
An example menu (the RF menu) is depicted in the figure below.
The title of the menu (RF in this example) is written at the leftmost side of the titlebar. Every menu is composed
by several items, but only four of them are shown at the same time on the display. The first item is always
“Exit...”. One of the item is selected and is shown in reverse colours. By rotating the knob to the right
(bottom), the selected item is changed and the menu is scrolled down to its last item. By rotating the knob to
the left (up), the menu is scrolled up to its first item. The scrollbar drawn on the left of the items gives an idea
about the selected item position in the menu: the position of the small tab inside the scrollbar changes depending
on the selected item, from the top to the bottom of the outer rectangle representing the bar. There are 3 types
of item in a menu, characterized by a different suffix appended to the item name:
• submenus, with leading dots ( );
• read/write parameters, with a right arrow ( ) suffix;
• read-only parameters, without any suffix.
In case of failure, the value of the failed parameter (read/write or read-only) blinks to show the malfunction,
until the alarm condition disappears. If the “Modulator no communication” alarm is present, the value of
parameters related to the modulator is indicated as “???”.
- Submenus
A submenu item is indicated by the name of the submenu and the leading dots. By clicking on a submenu (e.g.,
by clicking the knob when a submenu item is selected), a new child menu is shown, browsing the tree-like
menu from the top to the bottom. As before, this new (sub) menu is composed by several items that can be
other submenus or parameters.
45
Even if it has leading dots, the “Exit...” item, the first item of all menus, isn’t a real submenu. By clicking on
“Exit...”, it goes back to the parent menu, if any, browsing the tree-menu from the bottom to the top. If the
menu is at the top-level, by choosing “Exit...” the menu icons screen is shown.
- Read/write parameters
The row of a read/write parameter is composed by two parts: the leftmost one contains the name of the
parameter with arrow suffix, the rightmost one contains its value or an “action symbol”.
By clicking on a read/write parameter, the associated value is written in reverse colours, meaning that it is
possible to change it by rotating the knob. Some parameters can be changed continuously in a range (e.g., the
output power level); move the knob to the right (left) to increase (decrease) the value. For other parameters,
the value can be chosen from a short list (e.g., the input selection); move the knob to the right (left) to scroll
down (up) the list. For some other complex parameters, like the frequency or the date, the user can change a
token at a time (a digit of the frequency, a field of the date) by rotating the knob, moving to the next token by
clicking on the knob. After choosing the desired new value, click the knob to finish the change. Usually, until
now, no real change of the parameter took place (there are some exceptions, well described later). It is
necessary to accept the new value by rotating the knob to the right in order to choose the answer “Yes” to the
confirmation question (“Sure?”) that appears at the left of the titlebar. By answering “No” to the confirmation
question, the new value is discarded and the parameter keep the old value.
There are some “special” read/write parameters that represent only an action to make (e.g., Clear Log). Their
value is shown with the symbol. By clicking on this kind of parameter, the symbol is drawn in reverse
colours. Click again and choose “Yes” to the confirmation question in order to perform the associated action
(e.g., clearing the log content). It should be noticed that, if the control is password-locked or the remote
control is enabled, a read/write parameter could become a read-only parameter until the control is unlocked
by typing the correct password or the remote control is disabled.
- Read-only parameters
The row of a read-only parameter is composed by two parts: the leftmost contains the name of the parameter,
the rightmost one contains its value. The user can read this value, but not modify it. In fact, if clicking on a
read-only parameter, nothing happens.
46

- REFERENCES submenu
10MHz refer. (Int, Ext, ASI)
This parameter shows the 10MHz reference source selection set by the user (Int, Ext, ASI). In
case it is Ext or ASI and if the chosen reference is absent, the modulator automatically uses the
internal reference. This is shown in parentheses. By clicking on this item, the user can change the
10MHz reference source. (See the Synchronization and Clocks paragraph for more
information about the input reference stage of the modulator).
10MHz input (Present, Absent)
This is a read-only parameter that indicates the presence or absence of the external 10MHz
reference. (See the Synchronization and Clocks paragraph for more information about
the input reference stage of the modulator).
LoR Mute (ON, OFF)
When the external reference is absent, it is possible to automatically mute the output after
a configurable timeout. By choosing ON, the automatic mute on lost of reference feature is
enabled. Set this parameter to OFF to not mute the output on lost of reference.
LoR Timeout (00h00’-24h00)

55
- FREQUENCY submenu
Standard ([User], UHF, VHF)
The user can set the output signal frequency by choosing Standard/Channel pair or by
setting a custom frequency. At the time of printing this manual, the available standards are
UHF and VHF. Others may be available with future firmware releases1.
Channel (depending on the selected standard)
The user can set the output signal frequency by choosing Standard/Channel pair or by
setting a custom frequency. At the time of printing this manual, the available standards are
UHF and VHF. Others may be available with future firmware releases. The channels that
can be chosen depend on the selected standard (for example, if UHF standard is selected,
channel can be changed in the 14-69 interval). When a different standard is chosen (for
example, from VHF to UHF), the first channel (in the example, 14) is automatically set.
When a custom frequency is set instead, User appears as the standard and channel and
the channel offset is reset1.
Channel Offset (-9999÷+9999Hz by 1Hz step)
If the frequency is set by using Standatd/Channel pair, it is possible to finely adjust the
center frequency, by setting this parameter. The offset can be negative and positive.
Freq (57÷860MHz by 1Hz step)
The user can set the output signal frequency by choosing Standard/Channel pair or by
setting a custom frequency. The digits of the frequency can be changed one at a time in
the 0-9 range (only the first digit can be changed in the 1-8 range). Click on the knob to
move to the next digit. If a value lower than 57MHz (greater than 860MHz) is set, the
frequency 57MHz (860MHz) will be used instead1.
UPC PLL (Locked, Unlocked)
This read-only parameter shows the status of the up-converter PLL. It can be Locked or
Unlocked1.
1 When a custom frequency is set instead, User appears as the standard and channel and the channel offset is reset. If a frequency
outside the band of the equipment is set, the upconverter PLL can’t lock and the modulator goes in an error condition (for example,
this happens when a UHF channel is set on a VHF transmitter).
56
- POWER submenu
Power Control (Manual, Auto)
This parameter sets the power control mode as either automatic (AGC) or manual.
See the AGC: Implementation and details paragraph for more information.
Warning! For safety operation it is better to set to 0% the power level that is not
selected. For example, if the automatic power control mode is selected, it is better to
set the manual power level to 0%. This way, after changing from automatic to manual,
the output power will safely starts from zero level.
Pwr Level Man (0÷100%)
This parameter sets the operating level of the output power, if manual power control mode
is selected. Rotate the knob to increase/decrease the level in the 0÷100% range.
If the user makes a fast left rotation with a single movement, the power automatically
goes down to 0%. If the user rotates the knob to the right, the autodecrement will be
blocked.
See the AGC: Implementation and details paragraph for more information.
Note that, differently from the usual read/write parameters, when you rotate the
knob the change is immediately active. When you reach the desired value indicated
on the display status bar, click on the knob and choose “Yes” to answer the
confirmation question in order to accept the new power level. Choose “No” to ignore
the new and restore the old level.
Pwr Level Auto (0÷100%)
This parameter sets the operating level of the output power, if automatic power control
mode is selected. Rotate the knob to increase/decrease the level in the 0÷100% range. If
the user makes a fast left rotation with a single movement, the power automatically
goes down to 0%. If the user rotates the knob to the right, the autodecrement will be
blocked.
See the AGC: Implementation and details paragraph for more information.
Note that, differently from the usual read/write parameters, when you rotate the
knob the change is immediately active. When you reach the desired value, click on
the knob and choose “Yes” to answer the confirmation question in order to accept
the new power level. Choose “No” to ignore the new and restore the old level.
Ext AGC (Disabled, Enabled)
You can enable/disable the external AGC by changing the value of this parameter.
Please, be sure to deeply understand the AGC implementation details, before changing
this parameter value. See the AGC: Implementation and details paragraph for
more information.
57
Ext AGC Status (—, Idle, Locked, Lowset, Alarm, Max, Min, Pull-up, Pull-down)
This read-only parameter shows the current status of the external AGC that can be one of
the following:
• —: the external AGC is disabled;
• Idle: the external AGC is stopped (e.g., right after switching on, before the output power
reaches the nominal level);
• Low Set: the external AGC is stopped because external power reading was
too low when the output power was set;
• Alarm: the external AGC is stopped because an Alarm signal from external power amplifier
is detected;
• Locked: the external AGC has reached the desired power level;
• Max/Min: the external AGC is stopped because the correction is too high;
• Pull up/down: the external AGC is moving up or down the driving power level.
See the AGC: Implementation and details paragraph for more information.
58
V
This is a read-only parameter that shows the voltage of the RF amplifier stage, measured
in Volt. If this value is outside the normal range, an alarm occurs and the value on the
display blinks.
I
This is a read-only parameter that shows the current absorbed by the RF amplifier stage,
measured in Ampere. If this value is outside the normal range, an alarm occurs and the
value on the display blinks.
Lockout (Present, Absent)
This read-only parameter shows whether the lockout condition is present or absent. In
case of presence of lockout, the label blinks (see the Alarms and automation paragraph
for more information).
Reset Lockout
This is an “action” parameter that allows to reset the lockout condition. If the lockout isn’t
present, nothing happens (see the Alarms and automation paragraph for more
information).
Fwd max
This parameter indicates the threshold of the output power. If the output power is higher
than this threshold, an alarm occurs (see the Alarms and automation paragraph for
more information).
Ref max
This parameter indicates the threshold of the reflected power. If the reflected power is
higher than this threshold, an alarm occurs (see the Alarms and automation paragraph
for more information).
- AMPLIFIER submenu
59
Spectrum (Normal, Inverted)
This parameter enables or disables the spectrum inversion.
RF Mute (Auto, ON)
If you set this parameter to ON, the output is muted. If Auto is set, the output can be muted
depending on some conditions. In this case, the current mute status is shown in parenthesis.
Mute on In. Err (ON, OFF)
If this parameter is set to ON, the output will be automatically muted whenever an error on
ASI inputs occurs (for example if the inputs are absent). If it is set to OFF, errors on ASI
inputs don’t affect the output muting.
Mute Type (Fast, Slow)
This parameter sets the mute type. If Fast is set, the mute will be direct (abrupt muting). If
Slow is set, the mute will be progressive.
- OUTPUT submenu
- PRECORRECTION submenu
Linear Precorrection (ON, OFF)
With this parameter it is possible to change the linear precorrection behaviour of the modulator.
If it is set to OFF, the linear precorrection is disabled. If it is set to Null, the linear precorrection
is enabled, but a “null curve” is used. Other linear precorrection curves, up to 2, each characterized
by a different name, could be stored inside the controller. In this case, the user can select one of
them. See the Linear Precorrection paragraph for more information.
Tilt (-1.0÷1.0dB by 0.1dB step)
This parameter is used to add a tilt precorrection on the spectrum. See the Output Signal
paragraph for more information.
Non lin (ON, OFF)
With this parameter it is possible to change the non-linear precorrection behaviour of the modulator. If
it is set to OFF, the non-linear precorrection is disabled. If it is set to Null, the non-linear precorrection
is enabled, but a “null curve” is used. Other non-linear precorrection curves, up to 10, each characterized
by a different name, could be stored inside the controller. In this case, the user can select one of them.
See the Non Linear Precorrection paragraph for more information.

3.4.4 SETUP MENU
61
Control (Local, Remote)
The ATSC TRANSMITTER is fully-controllable locally (by using the display and the
knob) or by remote (by using RS232/RS485 serial ports). With this parameter it is possible
to set local control or remote control. When local control is selected, only reading commands
from remote will be answered, while writing commands will be denied. In this case, changing
of settings is possible only locally. If remote control is selected, it will be possible to read
the status locally (display) and from remote (RS232, RS485), but changing of settings will
be possible only by remote. In this case, many parameters will become as read-only type
on the display.
Serial (RS232, RS485)
The remote control can be performed by using a serial port (RS232 or RS485) or a
parallel port (TELEMEASURES). While TELEMEASURES port is always enabled, only
one of the two serial ports must be enabled at any time, because they are mutually exclusive.
If you don’t use remote control, don’t care about this parameter.
TLM out (Alarm, Squelch)
The meaning of the digital output of TLM port (pins 6 and 7) can be changed by the user
in two different modes: Alarm (useful to interface a custom remote control system) and
Squelch (useful to interface a switchover control system).
Password
In order to prevent an unauthorized user from changing the settings of the machine, it is
possible to lock the control by inserting a 5-digits password. When the control is unlocked,
the word “Unlocked” is written as parameter value. Click on this parameter and set a digit
at a time. After changing the last digit and answering “Yes” to the confirmation question, the
control is locked and the word “Locked” appears (the lock symbol is visible on the status
bar too). Now, the user can’t change any setting by using the knob and display. However,
they can continue monitoring the status of the equipment by browsing the menus. Most of
the parameters become as read-only type. When the control is locked, click on this
parameter to insert the same 5-digits password used to lock. If the password is correct,
the control will be unlocked, otherwise the control remains locked.
Contact the Elettronika Customer Service if you forget the password.

CONTROL BOARD AND DISPLAY SCH0135AR1
DESCRIPTION
The Controller module, located on the right side of the DIGITAL TRANSMITTER, is the user interface of
the whole modulator. It gathers the data from all the sections of the modulator, processes them by means of a
16bit flash micro-controller by Fujitsu and makes them available to the user both through the local interface,
composed by a display and a knob, and the remote interface made up by the serial port (either the RS232 on
the front or the RS485 on the back, as selected) or the interface of the telemeasuring connector.
The acquisition and setting of all the concerned parameters is made in two different ways. Analog measures
reach the board from the individual modules as voltages, are conditioned on the board and then converted by
an internal A/D converter in the micro.
The remaining parameters are gathered through a 2-wire RS485 interface, with the modulator. The display
board acts as master on this 485 bus. Besides it is provided with an RTC and a non-volatile memory on an
internal I2C bus.
- Dip-Switch
The display board is provided with 4 dip-switches. The dip-switches 3 and 4 are used to program the flash
memory of the flash micro-controller by Fujitsu, in detail:
DIP3: On DIP4: Off Boot Programming
DIP3: Off DIP4: On Run or Firmware Programming
The "Boot Programming" configuration is only for BIOS programming purposes.
Once the BIOS has been programmed, the firmware has to be programmed at least once in order to use the
board. The firmware programming and the normal operation of the board are obtained with the same position
of the dip switches.
For more detail on Firmware upgrade please refer to the "Firmware Upgrade" section.

5W VHF-I RMS AMPLIFIER MODULE MTF0125AR0
DESCRIPTION
The MTF0125A is the final stage of the 5W VHF-I RMS of the transmitter, based on MOS technology. It includes
the final stage itself (SCH0320A), its cooling heatsink, and an interface board (SCH0388B) which allows to control
the forward power, the reflect power, the Gain and the temperature. The final amplifier is provided with a GATE
control to inhibit the power output, a circuit to monitor the output and the needed circuits to read the output forward
and reflected power. The power reading is an RMS measurement.
