Issue 1, Rev. N: 09/25/11 DESCRIPTION 3 DESCRIPTION 3.1 Introduction The DSP exciter contains a microprocessor that allows remote or local control of the exciter and consolidates logic for varying degrees of PA control and monitoring through a video display terminal (VDT). Operating characteristics of the exciter are controlled by the selection of hardware options. It is frequency selectable by specifying the appropriate internal frequency determining hardware and software. It is also capable of communicating with several operating protocols through the proper selection of interface boards. 3.2 Physical Description The exciter front panel of one RU (1.75 in) in height contains eight LEDs, two adjustments, and one connector (also see section 5). The exciter chassis is nine inches deep and contains three circuit boards and space for an oscillator (not used with some controllers). Refer to Table 3-1, Part Numbers of VCO/RF Amplifier Boards, which shows subassemblies used for various transmitter operating ranges.

6.2 Interface to Controller 6.2.1 General The controller interface is the portion of exciter circuitry that connects the transmitter controller to the exciter. The interface board dictates what kind of transmitter controller may operate the transmitter. The transmitter can be operated through one of several control-lers depending on which interface board is installed in the exciter. The internal interface board may also exhibit an external I/O board. Control commands from the transmitter controller are connected through the interface circuit. This circuit supplies remote control to the microcontroller unit (MCU) control circuit. The VT-100 VDT supplies local control. The MCU control circuit generates all control signals for the other circuits, and monitors their status. The MCU control circuit reports status back to the VT-100 VDT and the interface circuit, which supplies the status to the transmitter controller. 6.2.2 Interface Conversion Functions Some signals exchanged between the controller and the exciter originate with a format, voltage, or requirement incompatible with their destination. The interface performs any signal conversions necessary to provide compatibility between the controller and the exciter. None, some, or all of the following conversion functions may be done by any one particular interface board. 6.2.2.1 Analog-Mode A/D Conversion (N/A for 138.0-174.0 MHz & 406.0-470.0 MHz The DSP modulator circuit reads synchronized serial data for its analog mode input signal. if the transmitter controller provides an analog signal, the controller interface converts the analog to the appropriate data form for the DSP. The analog (FLAT AUDIO+, -) terminates across a balanced input circuit that also provides a level adjustment. The adjustment, when properly set by the AUDIO INPUT ADJUST pot through the exciter cover, provides analog to an A/D converter at the optimum zero-dBm level. The A/D converts the analog into serial data, which is applied to the DSP through a synchronous data link. A synchronous data link is characterized by an exchange of pulse streams for timing purposes. The A/D converter is clocked by a pulse generator circuit driven by the ten-MHz reference circuit. 6.2.2.2 FSK-Data-Bit Strapping The DSP modulator circuit can read up to four bits for its digital FSK mode input signal. If the controller provides only bit 1 (DATA 1), operation in the four-level mode or higher is precluded. Bits 2 through 4 (DATA2 through DATA4) are available as FSK data inputs; whether they are used or not is a function of the particular controller interface used and the transmitter controller. Refer to Section 10. The controller interface disables unused bits by ground straps. ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 DSP Exciter Issue 1, Rev. N: 09/25/11 THEORY OF OPERATION Print Date: 09/25/11 Copyright © 2011 ISC Technologies Page: 6-2
6.2.2.3 Channel-Select-Bit Strapping The MCU control circuit reads three bits to determine the remotely selected channel. If the controller provides only bits 1 and 2 (CH SEL 1, 2), the controller can command only four channels. The operation of bit 3 is a function of the controller interface. Refer to Section 10. 6.2.2.4 Mode-Select-Bit Strapping The MCU control circuit reads two bits to determine the remotely selected mode. If the controller provides only bit 1 (MODE CONTROL), the controller can command only two transmitter modes. The operation of bit 2 is a function of the controller interface. Refer to Section 10. If the controller interface does not use bit 2, it straps it to ground (low). 6.2.2.5 Power Sample D/A Conversion The controller reads sample voltages for its forward and reflected power sample inputs, which are stored as data in the MCU control circuit. In some cases the controller interface converts the data to voltages of the appropriate range for the controller. Data from the MCU representing the forward and reflected powers is written into a dual D/A converter, which converts the data into two proportional dc voltages, which are applied to the controller. Control logic gates ensure that data is written to the proper half of the D/A converter. 6.3 DSP Modulator 6.3.1 General The DSP modulator circuit converts the data into the first IF signal, which is fully modu-lated. The IF stage circuit converts the first IF signal into the second IF signal. The RF stage circuit converts the second IF signal into the RF output. Ten MHz is used as frequency reference by each conversion stage. The DSP modulator is the portion of exciter circuitry between the controller interface and the IF stage. The DSP modulator uses digital signal processing to modulate and up-convert the paging information into the first IF signal. The modulation type depends on the transmitter operating mode. The IF stage is the portion of exciter circuitry between the DSP modulator and the RF stage. The IF stage uses hetero-dyne mixing to generate the optimum second IF signal frequency, which depends on the requirement of the VCO/RF amplifier board installed. The MCU control circuit is the command and control hub of the transmitter. The type of control software depends on the transmitter frequency and power output. The following text describes main exciter circuitry that works for all software programs, modulation schemes, and IF signal frequencies. Figure 6-2, DSP Exciter MCU Circuit Functional Diagram shows additional details. 6.3.2 DSP Modulator Signal Flow Refer to Figure 6-2, DSP Exciter MCU Circuit Functional Diagram, in the following discussion. The inputs that provide the paging information to the DSP modulator circuit are digitized audio and FSK data, supplied by the controller interface circuit through connector pair P 1/J1. Digitized audio arrives as serial data. FSK data arrives as parallel data. The DSP modulator circuit processes the digitized audio in the analog mode or the FSK data in the digital mode. The result of this processing is the exciter’s first IF signal, which is applied DSP Exciter ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 THEORY OF OPERATION Issue 1, Rev. N: 09/25/11 Page: 6-2 Copyright © 2011 ISC Technologies Print Date: 09/25/11
to the IF stage circuit. To produce the first IF signal, the DSP modulator contains two DSPs (a signal modulator and a quadrature modulator), a digital-to-analog converter, and a read-only memory. The following text describes these four components and their signal flow. 6.3.2.1 Digital Signal Modulator The signal modulator (SM) generates modulation that contains the paging information, which is supplied by digitized audio or FSK data. The digitized audio is input into a serial input port. An external edge detector is required to input the FSK data. The SM converts one of the data inputs into a modulated signal, which is mathematically represented within the SM as a vector signal, defined by its rectangular coordinates. These coordinates, commonly known as I and Q, are supplied to the digital quadrature modulator as 16-bit parallel data. The modulated signal output from the SM depends on the following signal characteristics:  modulation scheme  frequency response or rise time  input logic or data inversion  deviation level or bandwidth  offset from carrier frequency  analog gain and deviation limit The SM also performs all communications between the DSP modulator circuit and the MCU control circuit. These communications are through the SM 16-bit parallel data port. External input and output latches expand the capabilities of this port. Control inputs consist of commands such as reset, request status, set paging signal parameter, change mode, and boot program. Requested status outputs consist of current mode, deviation levels, input level, input gain, modulation detected, and current polarity. Nonrequested status outputs indicate the existence of analog limiting and modulation. 6.3.2.2 Digital Quadrature Modulator The digital quadrature modulator (DQM) performs interpolation and up-conversion of the modulated signal. The modulated signal input to the DQM is applied by the SM as I and Q components (16-bit parallel data). The DQM performs trigonometric computations at a much higher sampling rate, which determines the first IF signal value and frequency. The modulated signal output from the DQM is supplied from its serial data port to the D/A converter. 6.3.2.3 Digital-to-Analog Converter The digital input to the digital-to-analog (D/A) converter is the modulated signal from the DQM. This data arrives as serial data. The analog output from the D/A converter is the first IF signal. In addition to the IF stage circuit, the first IF signal is supplied to the MCU control circuit, where it is rectified and filtered to generate fault logic.

6.3.2.4 Read-Only Memory A programmable and erasable read-only memory (PEROM) stores the modulator programs for both DSPs. These programs are transferred to the SM when the exciter is booted up (powered up), then the SM transfers the program to the DQM. The nonvolatile PEROM retains its program for years. Its memory may be individually reprogrammed without erasing the entire chip. 6.4 IF Stage Refer to Figure 6-1, DSP Exciter RF Stage Functional Diagram. The input to the IF stage is the first IF signal, which is supplied by the DSP modulator circuit. The first IF signal carries all the paging information on an intermediate carrier frequency. The IF stage performs direct up-conversion of the first IF signal to create the second IF signal, which carries the same paging information as the first IF signal, but on a higher carrier frequency. The second IF signal is applied to the RF stage through connector pair J10/P 10. To produce the second IF signal, the IF stage contains mixer-1 and filter circuits. Supporting these circuits are VCO-1 and synthesizer-1 circuits. Figure 6-2, DSP Exciter MCU Circuit Func-tional Diagram, and Figure 6-3, DSP Exciter-to-Controller Functional Diagram, show additional detail. 6.4.1 Mixer-1 Mixer-1 is the first heterodyne mixer. Inputs to mixer-1 are a modulated IF and a carrier. The modulated IF input is the first IF signal. The carrier input is supplied by VCO-1. The output from mixer-1 consists of two modulated carriers that are sums and difference frequencies of the inputs. These two frequencies are applied to the filter circuit. 6.4.2 Filter The filter is centered at the second IF signal frequency with a 45-kHz bandwidth. The input to the filter consists of two modulated carriers. These are sum and difference frequencies supplied by mixer-1. The output from the filter is only the sum frequency. This modulated output is the second IF signal. 6.4.3 VCO-1 VCO-1 is the local oscillator for the IF stage. The input to VCO-1 is a dc control voltage. This voltage controls VCO-1 carrier frequency and is supplied by synthesizer-1. The output from VCO-1 is a sine-wave carrier. The output is applied to mixer-1. 6.4.4 Synthesizer-1 Synthesizer-1 controls VCO-1 carrier frequency by means of a phase-locked loop (PLL). PLL inputs are a carrier and a phase reference. The reference input is a ten-MHz carrier supplied by the ten-MHz reference circuit. The carrier input is from VCO-1. The PLL output is a dc control voltage. This voltage, set to cause the VCO-1 carrier to lock phases with the reference, is supplied to VCO-1. ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 DSP Exciter Issue 1, Rev. N: 09/25/11 THEORY OF OPERATION Print Date: 09/25/11 Copyright © 2011 ISC Technologies Page: 6-2
Synthesizer-1 also performs all communications between the IF stage circuit and the MCU control circuit. A control input specifies the VCO-1 carrier frequency; this data is received over a serial data link when the exciter is booting or changing channels. Status outputs are a lock fault and a VCO1 level. The lock fault indicates loss of the carrier/reference phase lock. The VCO1 level is the VCO-1 control voltage. 6.5 MCU Refer to Figure 6-4, DSP Exciter Detailed Functional Diagram. Control outputs are supplied by the MCU control circuit to the other functional circuits. Likewise, status inputs are applied to the MCU control circuit from the other functional circuits. Discussions of these control and status signals are included with the information on the other major func-tional circuits. To interface these control and status signals, the MCU control circuit contains an MCU, D/A converter, 8/16 bit converter, read-only memory, and a VSWR-fault detector. To light the front-panel LEDs, the MCU control circuit contains a bank of PNP switching transistors. Refer to Figure 6-2, DSP Exciter MCU Circuit Functional Diagram, in the following text which describes this circuitry and its signal flow. 6.5.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) The MCU contains a central processing unit (CPU), memories, peripherals, and other hardware on a single chip. The primary internal functions of the MCU and their application in the exciter are described in the following list.  An eight-bit remote input port accepts discrete low power mode, emission mode, keyline, and channel selects from the controller interface circuit. An external edge detector is required to input the channel selects.  Interrupt logic stops RF transmission when a fault or reset input is received, e.g. a VSWR or PA fault.  An on-board oscillator/clock generator, driven by an external crystal, times internal MCU functions. A synchronized clock output times external functions.  The MCU performs most interfacing through a parallel communications link: eight-bit data bus, sixteen-bit address bus, and a read/write line. External input and output latches expand the capability of this link.  An eight-bit input/output port supplies discrete keyline, RF status, and chip select controls to the exciter and the PA.  A serial peripheral interface (SPI) supplies synchronous serial frequency data to the IF stage and RF stage circuits. Individual commands load the program into either IF stage’s synthesizer-1 or RF stage synthesizer-2.  An 8-input analog-to-digital (A/D) converter measures voltage inputs from the exciter and the PA. An external multiplexer expands MCU analog inputs to fifteen.  A serial communications interface (SCI) exchanges asynchronous serial RS-232 data with the VT-100 VDT. An external RS-232 driver buffers the MCU data, allowing it to be exchanged through external connector J3.  A random-access memory (RAM) temporarily stores transmitter fault and alarm values.

• An electrically-erasable read-only memory (EEPROM) permanently stores transmitter signal parameters. 6.5.2 Digital-to-Analog (D/A) Converter A D/A converter generates an AGC reference voltage. The D/A converter inputs are data and select logic. The data, supplied by the MCU when the D/A is selected, represents the desired transmitter power output. The D/A converter output is an AGC reference voltage. This voltage represents a level proportional to the desired transmitter power output. The AGC reference voltage, output through connector J6, is used by the PA to generate an AGC voltage. 6.5.3 8/16-Bit Converter An 8/16-bit converter allows the MCU eight-bit data bus to communicate with the 16-bit data bus of the DSP modulator circuit. The MCU must perform two read or write proce-dures, a low byte and a high byte, to each one of the DSP modulator circuit. The converter provides two status outputs to the MCU and the DSP modulator circuit. A data-availableto-MCU status indicates that the DSP modulator circuit has written data into the converter that the MCU must read. A data-available-to-DSP status indicates that the MCU has written data into the converter that the DSP modulator circuit must read. In the event that the DSP modulator circuit does not read data that the MCU has written, a DSP communications fault is generated. 6.5.4 Read-Only Memory A programmable and erasable read-only memory (PEROM) stores the control program for the transmitter. This program is transferred to the MCU when the exciter is booted up. The nonvolatile PEROM retains its program for years. Its memory may be individually repro-grammed without erasing the entire chip. ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 DSP Exciter Issue 1, Rev.

6.5.5 VSWR-Fault Detector The exciter receives a VSWR signal from the PA through connector J7. This signal is a rectified dc voltage sample generated by the isolator. The voltage sample is monitored by the MCU to provide the value for the total reflected-power indication. The voltage sample is also monitored by a fault circuit in the exciter. If a factory-preset voltage is exceeded, the fault circuit shuts down the transmitter by an interrupt to the MCU. 6.5.6 Alarm Data-to-Logic Conversion The transmitter controller reads logic alarm inputs; most of these alarms are stored as data in the MCU control circuit. If the controller interface converts the data to individual logic signals for the controller, data from MCU control representing the alarms is clocked into a pair of latches. The latches convert the data into continuous logic signals. These signals and others control a bank of NPN switching transistors that supply the actual logic signal to the controller. Control logic gates convert chip controls from the MCU into a clock input for the latches. 6.6 RF Assemblies 6.6.1 RF Stage Location Refer to Figure 3-3, DSP Exciter Simplified Functional Diagram, to locate the assembly. The RF stage circuits are located on two circuit boards, both housed within the exciter chassis.The exciter/control board is the main circuit board and the VCO/RF amplifier board is a selected option. The exciter/control board connects to the VCO/RF amplifier board through three connector pairs: J4/P4, J9/P9, and J10/P10. The VCO/RF amplifier board also contains BNC connector J3, which extends through the rear panel of the exciter. This board contains most of the RF stage components inside an RF shield. A hole in the shield and the front panel provide access to an RF stage adjustment, which is marked VCO ADJ on the front panel. 6.6.2 RF Assemblies 6.6.2.1 RF Stage Description The RF stage is the portion of exciter circuitry between the IF stage and RF out and is the final maj or functional circuit, the RF stage determines the transmitter RF output frequency, and dictates the highest and lowest possible RF output frequencies (RF band). The trans-mitter can be operated at several RF bands, depending on the RF stage circuitry installed in the exciter. 6.6.2.2 RF Stage Bands The selected VCO/RF amplifier board determines the RF band of the transmitter. Table 3-1, Part Numbers of VCO/RF Amplifier Boards, lists the RF bands and the part number of the board with that RF band.

6.6.2.3 RF Stage Signal Flow Refer to Figure 6-1, DSP Exciter RF Stage Functional Diagram. The input to the RF stage is the second IF signal, supplied by the IF stage circuit through connector pair J10/P 10. The second IF signal carries the paging information on a modulated carrier at the exciter’s second intermediate frequency. The RF stage converts the second IF signal into the exciter’s RF output. This RF output carries the same paging information as the second IF signal, but on a modulated carrier of radio frequency. The RF output is normally applied to the PA through connector J3. To produce the RF output, the RF stage contains mixer-2, a filter, and an amplifier. Supporting these circuits are VCO-2 and synth-2. The following text describes these five circuits and their signal flow. 6.6.2.3.1 Mixer-2 Mixer-2 is the second heterodyne mixer. Inputs to mixer-2 are a modulated IF and a carrier. The modulated IF is the second IF signal. The carrier is supplied by VCO-2. Output from mixer-2 consists of sum and difference frequencies of the inputs. The sum frequency is centered near the channel carrier, and the difference frequency about twice the second IF frequency below that. These two modulated RF carriers are applied to the filter circuit. 6.6.2.3.2 Filter The filter is factory-selected and tuned, with a bandwidth determined by carrier frequency of the transmitter. The inputs to the filter consist of two modulated RF carriers and a key control.The two carriers are sum and difference frequencies, supplied by mixer-2. The key control is supplied by the MCU control circuit through J4/P4. The output from the filter, supplied when the key control is received, is only the sum frequency. This modulated RF, centered near the channel on-frequency, is supplied to the amplifier. 6.6.2.3.3 Amplifier The amplifier provides amplification to the value listed in the specifications as exciter RF power out. The inputs to the amplifier consist of modulated RF and a key control. The modulated RF, mixer-2 sum output frequency, is supplied through the filter. Key control is supplied by the MCU control circuit through J4/P4. Output from the amplifier, supplied when the key control is received, is an amplified version of the modulated RF. This amplified output is the exciter RF output. 6.6.2.3.4 VCO-2 VCO-2 is the RF stage local oscillator. Inputs to VCO-2 are a dc control voltage and an adjustment. Dc control voltage is supplied by synthesizer-2. The adjustment, which varies the VCO2 control voltage level, is controlled through the front-panel VCO ADJ access. This control provides the means for VCO-2 to output a carrier frequency that would otherwise be beyond the range of the control voltage input. The carrier output, always second IF frequency below the channel carrier frequency, is applied to mixer-2. ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 DSP Exciter Issue 1, Rev.

6.6.2.3.5 Synthesizer-2 Synthesizer-2 controls VCO-2 carrier frequency by means of a phase-locked loop (PLL). PLL inputs to synthesizer-2 are a carrier and a phase reference. The reference is a ten-MHz carrier supplied by the ten-MHz reference circuit. The carrier is the VCO-2 output. The PLL output from synthesizer-2 is a dc control voltage. This voltage, set to cause VCO-2 to lock phases with the reference, is applied to the VCO-2 control input. Synthesizer-2 also performs all communications between the RF stage circuit and the MCU control circuit. A control input to synthesizer-2 specifies VCO-2 carrier frequency. This data is received over a serial data link when the exciter is booting or changing channels. Status outputs from synthesizer-2 are a lock fault and a VCO2 level. The lock fault indicates loss of the carrier/reference phase lock. VCO2 level is the VCO-2 control voltage. 6.7 Voltage Regulator Circuit Refer to Figure 6-4, DSP Exciter Detailed Functional Diagram (center, toward bottom) in the following discussion. The exciter receives 26-volt operating power through terminal board TB 1. The dc power indicator on the exciter front panel is connected to this input. This voltage is supplied to a 26-volt bus and is monitored by the MCU. An intermediate regulator reduces the 26 volts to 16.5 volts, which is supplied to the two final regulators. One regulator generates 13.5 volts, which is supplied to a 13.5-volt bus and monitored by the MCU. The other regulator generates 5 volts, which is supplied to a five-volt bus and monitored by the MCU. DSP Exciter ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 THEORY OF OPERATION Issue 1, Rev.

7 MAINTENANCE 7.1 Location of Maintenance Procedures The DSP exciter is central to performing transmitter maintenance. Most maintenance of electrical assemblies is done via the VT100 interface. Any maintenance procedures which require adjusting controls within the exciter chassis are listed in this section. Replace the exciter if it has input power, as indicated by the front-panel LED, but does not allow the user to make connection via the VT100 interface. 7.2 Test Equipment Required Table 4-1, Test Equipment Required, lists test equipment required to perform maintenance procedures. 7.3 VCO-2 Adjustment Procedure Perform the VCO-2 adjustment procedure after installing new VCO/RF amplifier board or after setting new channel carrier frequency. If the transmitter is to operate at more than one frequency, perform the multichannel adjustment procedure. If the transmitter is to operate at only one frequency, perform the single-channel adjustment procedure. Refer to the DSP exciter VDT manual as necessary. 7.3.1 VCO-2 Multichannel Adjustment Procedure 1. Set up VT-100 VDT and select local control (see VDT manual). 2. Select transmitter channel of lowest frequency if not already selected. 3. Use tuning tool supplied to adjust VCO ADJ control through exciter front panel. Ad-just for a reading of 2.8 volts (3.5 volts for wideband VCO 263-0082-062), on VCO2 status display. 4. Return transmitter to service. Procedure is complete. 7.3.2 VCO-2 Single-Channel Adjustment Procedure This procedure does not apply to wideband option. 1. Set up VT-100 VDT and select local control (see VDT manual). 2. Select transmitter channel of operating frequency if not already selected. 3. Use tuning tool supplied to adjust VCO ADJ control through exciter front panel. Ad-just for reading of 5.0 Vdc on VCO2 status display. 4. Return transmitter to service. Procedure is complete. ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 DSP Exciter Issue 1, Rev.

7.4 Over-The-Link Downloading Over-the-link (OTL) code downloading allows C2000 transmitter controller (C2000) software, alarm matrix setup, and exciter software to be downloaded over the C2000 link channel. To properly use OTL downloading, C2000 units must be programmed for the correct control group, site ID, and unit ID, which are integral to C2000 hardware and software. When information is downloaded over the link channel, the control group, site IDs and/or unit IDs that are to receive the code must be specified. Caution If the control group, site ID, and unit ID are not specified, all units in the system accept the download information. In a mixed system, this can result in some of the transmitters being off the air. An example of this would be a GL-T8600 exciter receiving a GL-T8500 exciter programming code. The GL-T8600 exciter would not operate with this software and could result in a site visit to correct the problem. Programming of control groups and site IDs is done via the C2000 front port with a local connection or through a modem from a remote location. The control groups should be setup as a group of transmitters having the same configuration. For example, all GL-T8500 trans-mitters could be in one control group and GL-T8600 transmitters be in another. This would allow one to download exciter software to all GL-T8500 transmitters at one time by selecting their control group. Any transmitter with a different control group would not accept the download information. Site ID must be different for each site location, and is used when downloading information to a specific site location. If there are multiple units at the same site, the site ID and unit ID need to be specified to download to a specific unit. If the unit ID is not specified, all units at that site accept the download. Unit ID is programmed with a rotary switch in the C2000; it must be different for each C2000 at a site location. To download one specific unit, both site and unit ID must be specified for that unit; the unit with that site ID and unit ID is the only one that accepts the download. For assistance on how to perform a download, call ISC Technologies customer support at 217-221-0985. 7.5 On-The-Fly Channel/Mode Changing Different paging formats may require different digital deviation and offsets of paging data on the same RF carrier frequency. In the past, the only way to meet the different deviation requirements on the same frequency was to program two different channels for the same RF carrier frequency and then program those same two channels for a different digital DSP Exciter ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 MAINTENANCE Issue 1, Rev. N: 09/25/11 Page: 7-2 Copyright © 2011 ISC Technologies Print Date: 09/25/11
deviation and offset. By changing channels, the deviation requirements of the paging formats were met. However, a channel change requires that the transmitter be unkeyed to allow time for PLL lock-up, which is a loss of air time. The on-the-fly feature allows the following:  Each channel can be programmed for four different digital modes (A, B, C, D)  Each mode allows different digital deviation and offsets to be programmed During normal paging operation, the C-2000 controller sends information to the transmitter telling it what channel to operate on and which one of the four digital modes to use. The four different digital modes of operation are controlled by the data 2 and data 3 lines into the C-2000 interface board on the DSP exciter. If the paging data requires a different devi-ation, the C-2000 transmitter controller can change the mode without having to change the channel. This allows the DSP exciter to accommodate different paging format requirements without unkeying the transmitter to change channels. 7.5.1 Programming Example To set up the exciter for the proper digital deviation and offset programming, make up a table similar to the one shown below. Next, access Digital Mode Setup menu and select View Channel Frequencies submenu.

Note When on-the-fly software is used with a QT-1000 interface board installed in the exciter, only the deviation and offset programming for mode D is available. References in the exciter menus pertaining to modes A, B, and C are blanked out. 7.5.1.1 Release 2.10 DSP Exciter The C-2000 transmitter controller detects a FLEX baud rate of 1600. When this condition is detected, the mode control lines to the DSP exciter change it to mode B. If the FLEX baud rate is not detected, the mode control lines are set for mode A. This requires that mode A deviation (and offset) be set for POCSAG (512, 1200 or 2400 baud), Golay, NEC and any other paging format other than FLEX requirements. Mode B deviation and offset must be set for FLEX. Mode C and D are not used. 7.6 16-Channel Operation With 16-channel capability, the on-the-fly digital mode programming is only programmable on 8 channels. When channels 1 through 8 are programmed for different modes, channels 9 through 16 follow the same mode programming respectively (i.e. channel 9 is the same as 1, channel 10 is the same as 2, etc.). Selecting additional channels (9 through 16) is achieved by the C-2000 controller pulling mode-1 line low to the C-2000 interface board.

Issue 1, Rev. N: 09/25/11 CHECKOUT AND TROUBLESHOOTING 8 CHECKOUT AND TROUBLESHOOTING 8.1 CHECKOUT The DSP exciter has two functions; it produces on-frequency RF and has a microprocessor to handle input from the PA and transmitter controller. Checkout involves verifying that RF is produced and unkeying occurs during a fault condition. 8.2 TROUBLESHOOTING The recommended troubleshooting level for the exciter is at the unit level. That is, if the exciter fails to provide the transmitter system with a usable, modulated RF-drive signal and all the exciter’s power, control, and signal inputs are normal, you should replace the exciter with a spare.

Issue 1, Rev. N: 09/25/11 OPTIONS 10 OPTIONS 10.1 Exciter/PA Control with QT-1000 Interface The controller interface is the portion of exciter circuitry that connects the transmitter controller to the exciter. The controller interface dictates what kind of transmitter controller may operate the transmitter. The transmitter can be operated through one of several control-lers depending on the interface circuitry installed with the exciter. Two boards form this interface, the internal QT-1000 interface board and the external interface I/O board. Control commands from the transmitter controller are connected through the interface circuit. This circuit supplies remote control to the microcontroller unit (MCU) control circuit. The VT-100 VDT supplies local control. The MCU control circuit generates all control signals for the other circuits, and monitors their status. The MCU control circuit reports status back to the VT-100 VDT and the interface circuit, which supplies the status to the transmitter controller. 10.1.1 Reference Source The ten-MHz reference signal is provided by the controller via J8 on the exciter/control board. 10.1.2 Controller Interface Connector Functions Refer to Figure 10-1, Table 10-1, and Table 10-2 for a pin-by-pin description of signal functions. The controller interfaces with the transmitter through connectors J1, J2, and J5 and terminal board TB2 at the exciter back panel. J5 on the external I/O board connects to a standard RL-XX3 receiver, if installed. If a standard receiver is not installed, TB2 on the external I/O board connects to any generic receiver. TB2 also makes connections to optional configurable QT-1000 alarm inputs and switching outputs. J1 on the internal interface board connects directly to TXC connector J1, and interfaces all signals except alarms. Alarm signals, consisting of transmitter alarm, fault, and status signals, are supplied directly to the QT-1000 controller connector J2 though J2 on the internal interface board. 10.1.3 QT-1000 Interface Conversion Functions Many of the signals exchanged between the controller and the exciter originate with a format, voltage, or requirement incompatible with their destination. The QT-1000 interface performs any signal conversions necessary to provide compatibility between the controller and the exciter. The following text describes any signal conversions made by the controller interface.

ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 Issue 1, Rev. N: 09/25/11 10.1.3.1 Analog-Mode A/D Conversion The exciter DSP modulator circuit reads synchronized serial data for its analog mode input signal, but the QT-1000 controller provides an analog signal. The controller interface converts the analog to the appropriate data form for the DSP. The analog (FLAT AUDIO+,-) terminates across a balanced input circuit that also provides a level adjustment. The adjustment, when properly set by the AUDIO INPUT ADJUST pot through the exciter cover, provides analog to an A/D converter at the optimum zero-dBm level. The A/D converts the analog into serial data, which is applied to the DSP through a synchronous data link. A synchronous data link is characterized by an exchange of pulse streams for timing purposes. The A/D converter is clocked by a pulse generator circuit driven by the ten-MHz reference circuit. 10.1.3.2 FSK-Data-Bit Strapping The exciter DSP modulator circuit can read up to four bits for its digital FSK mode input signal, but the controller provides two active bits 1 and 2 (DATA1, DATA2). This allows transmitter operation in the two-level or four-level mode. 10.1.3.3 Channel-Select-Bit Strapping The exciter MCU control circuit reads three bits to determine the remotely selected channel, but the QT-1000 controller provides only bits 1 and 2 (CH SEL 1,2). As a result, the QT-1000 controller can command only four channels. The controller interface keeps bit 3 open (high). Table 10-2 defines the transmitter operating channel resulting from the channel select inputs. 10.1.3.4 Mode-Select-Bit Strapping The exciter MCU control circuit reads two bits to determine the remotely selected mode, but the QT-1000 controller provides only bit 1 (MODE CONTROL). As a result, the QT-1000 controller can command only two modes. The controller interface straps bit 2 to ground (low). Table 10-3 defines the transmitter operating mode resulting from the model select input. 10.1.3.5 Power Sample D/A Conversion The QT-1000 controller reads two 0-to-2.5-volt voltages for its forward and reflected power sample inputs, but these power values are stored as data in the exciter MCU control circuit. The controller interface converts the data to voltages of the appropriate range for the QT-1000 controller. Data from the MCU representing the forward and reflected powers is written into a dual D/A converter. The D/A converts the data into two proportional dc voltages ranging from 0 volt to 2.5 volts (FWD PWR SAMPLE, REF PWR SAMPLE), which are applied to the QT-1000 controller.

Detailed figures are referenced, as required. The controller interface is the portion of exciter circuitry that connects the transmitter controller to the exciter. The controller interface dictates what kind of transmitter controller may operate the transmitter. The transmitter can be operated through one of several control-lers depending on the interface circuitry installed at the exciter. The remainder of section 10.2 describes standard controller interface circuitry. Two boards form this interface, the internal standard interface board and the external exciter standard interface I/O board. Control commands from the transmitter controller are connected through the interface circuit. This circuit supplies remote control to the microcontroller unit (MCU) control circuit. The VT-100 VDT supplies local control. The MCU control circuit generates all control signals for the other circuits, and monitors their status. The MCU control circuit reports status back to the VT-100 VDT and the interface circuit, which supplies the status to the transmitter controller. 10.2.1 Reference Source The ten-MHz reference signal is provided by the controller via J8 on the exciter/control board. All other inputs and outputs, except for RF output, are routed through the standard interface board. ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 DSP Exciter Issue 1, Rev.

ISC Technologies Document Number: 9110.00172 Issue 1, Rev. N: 09/25/11 10.2.2 Controller Interface Connector Functions Refer to Table 10-1, Interface Board Connector J4 (QT-1000) for a pin-by-pin description of signal functions. The controller interfaces with the transmitter through connector J4 and terminal board TB2 at the exciter back panel. TB2 also makes connections to optional configurable alarm inputs and switching outputs. 10.2.3 Standard Interface Conversion Functions Many of the signals exchanged between the controller and the exciter originate with a format, voltage, or requirement incompatible with their destination. The standard interface performs any signal conversions necessary to provide compatibility between the controller and the exciter. The following text describes any signal conversions made by the controller interface. 10.2.3.1 Analog-Mode A/D Conversion (No Analog for 138.0-174.0 MHZ & 406.0-470.0 MHz) The exciter DSP modulator circuit reads synchronized serial data for its analog mode input signal, but the transmitter controller provides an analog signal. The controller interface converts the analog to the appropriate data form for the DSP. The analog (FLAT AUDIO +,-) terminates across a balanced input circuit that also provides a level adjustment. The adjustment, when properly set by the AUDIO INPUT ADJUST pot through the exciter cover, provides analog to an A/D converter at the optimum zero-dBm level. The A/D converts the analog into serial data, which is applied to the DSP through a synchronous data link. A synchronous data link is characterized by an exchange of pulse streams for timing purposes. The A/D converter is clocked by a pulse generator circuit driven by the exciter’s ten-MHz reference circuit. 10.2.3.2 FSK-Data-Bit Strapping The exciter DSP modulator circuit can read up to four bits for its digital FSK mode input signal, but the controller provides two active bits 1 and 2 (DATA1, DATA2). This allows transmitter operation in the two-level or four-level mode. 10.2.3.3 Channel-Select-Bit Strapping The exciter MCU control circuit reads three bits to determine the remotely selected channel, and the transmitter controller provides bits 1, 2, and 3 (CH SEL 1,2,3). As a result, the transmitter controller can command all eight of the possible channels. Table 10-3, Remote Select Input vs. Channel (QT-1000), defines the transmitter operating channel resulting from the channel select inputs. 10.2.3.4 Mode-Select-Bit Strapping The exciter MCU control circuit reads two bits to determine the remotely selected mode, but the transmitter controller provides only bit 1 (MODE CONTROL). As a result, the transmitter controller can command three of the transmitter’s four possible modes. Table 10-4, Remote Select Input vs. Mode (QT-1000), defines the transmitter operating mode DSP Exciter OPTIONS Page: 10-2 Copyright © 2011 ISC Technologies Print Date: 09/25/11
resulting from the model select input.
10.2.3.5 Power Sample D/A Conversion The transmitter controller reads two 0-to-2.5-volt voltages for its forward and reflected power sample inputs, but these power values are stored as data within the exciter’s MCU control circuit. The controller interface converts the data to voltages of the appropriate range for the transmitter controller. Data from the MCU representing the forward and reflected powers is written into a dual D/A converter. The D/A converts the data into two proportional dc voltages ranging from 0 volt to 2.5 volts (FWD PWR SAMPLE, REF PWR SAMPLE), which are applied to the transmitter controller. Control logic gates ensure that data is written to the proper half of the D/A converter.
