Fill unused space(s) with blank panels.

ROUTINE OPERATION
Frequent readjustment of the BTS-101A circuitry is not normally necessary.
Occasional manual or remote mode switching will be the most common operation.
The transmission mode may be switched from stereophonic to monaural (with a
preselected audio channel for the source), and back. Switching can be
accomplished by a momentary (or continuous) connection to ground, and that
connection can be accomplished by a switch, pushbutton, relay or NPN
transistor . The selected mode is indicated by the light-emitting diode stereo
or mono indicator lamp. Refer to the schematic diagram, figure 7.
The stereo pilot should be held at a level of 9%. The most convenient method
of trimming this level is the front-panel OUTPUT LEVEL control. This is a
vernier adjustment, with a few dB of range. Should the desired setting of this
control be at an extreme of its range, resetting the internal PILOT LEVEL
control R46 may be called for, or resetting the audio limiter outputs may be in
order. See Alignment Procedure. The normal output level from the BTS-101A is
3. 5 volts peak-to-peak for 100% modulation . This should occur with a 10 dBm
input level.
The SEPARATION control settings should be checked during routine proof of
performance checks. Separation tests will require that programming material be
removed from the channel under test.

DETAILED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Left and right audio signals are applied to the INPUTS connector J101 on the
rear of the BTS-101A.
Refer to the schematic diagram, figure 7.
The left
channel is connected to pins 3 and 6, while the right channel is connected to
pins 1 and 4.
Pins 2, 5, 8, and 11 are available to ground the shields of
these lines. The audio signals are routed to the printed wiring board through
rf filters composed of L101, L102, L103, and L104 operating in conjuncti on with
capacitor s C101, C102, C103, and C104. Following the rf filtering , the signals
are applied to the input pads and transform ers T102 and T103.
The left channel input transform er is terminate d by R5, in parallel with R6,
R7, and RS. The range of the LEFT GAIN control R7 is restricte d by R6 and RS.
The output from R7 is applied to R9, which, with C1, forms an on-board rf
filter.
The output of this filter is then amplified by U1. Capacitor C4 is
placed in the negative feedback loop of U1 to cause a very slight but
predictab le phase lag at 15 kHz.
The output of amplifier U1 is fed into a
phase correctio n network comprised of R12, R13, and C6, to allow low audio
frequency square wave transmiss ion. Capacitor C5 is added to this network to
compensat e for a slight high-freq uency loss at 15 kHz in the audio lowpass
filters.
The signal is then fed to amplifier U2 which functions as an active
pre-emph asis network.
The pre-emph asis time-cons tant is determine d essential ly by the sum of R15 and
R16 operating in conjuncti on with capacitor (s) C12 and C13.
A flat frequency
response is obtained by switching out both C12 and C13. A 50µs time-cons tant
is obtained by switching in C13 only; 75µs is obtined by also switching in C12.
In either case, LEFT PRE-EMPIIASIS control R15 is adjusted for the correct
frequency response.
The output of U2 is applied to the 15 kHz audio lowpass filter FL 1 via series
terminati ng resistor R18. The filter output, terminate d by R20 is applied to
buffer U3 (to drive the electroni c switch for stereo generatio n) and to U7 (to
drive the metering system in the BTE-115 FM Exciter).
C14 limits the audio
noise bandwidth to 60 kHz when the audio lowpass filter is switched out.
The right audio channel functions in a manner similar to the left except that
various adjustmen ts have been added to enable precise audio channel phase and
amplitude tracking to easily allow linear crosstalk cancellat ion.
Specifically, 150 Hz control R28 allows the individua l audio channels to be adjusted
to an identical value at low frequenci es.
When the pre-emph asis is switched
out, 15 kHz (FLAT) control C24 should be adjusted for audio channel phase
tracking at 15 kHz. When the pre-empha ses is switched in, 1500 Hz control R37
enables the right pre-emph asis time-cons tant to be trimmed to agree with that
obtained in the left channel. Phase agreement at 15 kHz is enabled by 15 kHz
control R35.
The output of U4 is applied to the
15 kHz audio lowpass filter FL2 for the
right channel through series terminati ng resistor R40. Filter output is terminated by R42 and -is applied to buffer U6 ( to drive the electroni c switch for
the stereo generatio n process), and to U8 (to provide an audio sample for the
affiliate d BTE-115 Exciter metering system).
C35 limits the audio noise
bandwidth to 60 kHz when the audio lowpass filter is switched out.

STEAM POWERED RADIO.COM

9
The outputs of U3 and U6 are applied to the electronic switch U9 through de
blocking capacitors C18, C19, C39, and C40.
Diodes CR5 and CR6 prevent the
blocking capacitors from becoming reverse-biased by power on and power off
transients. The transmission of the left signal from pin 3 to pin 2 of the
electronic switch is controlled by the switching signal applied to pin 1. A 38
kHz square wave from U15 is applied to this pin, resulting in a left channel
signal, switched on and off at a 38 kHz rate, being present at pin 2. Likewise, the right channel signal is transmitted from pin 6 to pin 7, controlled
by a 38 kHz square wave applied to pin 8. However, the control signal at pin 8
is 1800 out of phase with the control signal at pin 1. Therefore, pins 2 and 7
can be connected together and the resultant signal at the combined point will
switch from left to right at a 38 kHz rate.
The output of the electronic
switch is applied to summing amplifier U10 through resistors R57 and R58.
Capacitor C22 limits the maximum slow rate from the electronic switch to less
than 50 volts per microsecond, thereby insuring that transient intermodulation
distortion products will not be generated in the summing amplifier. Separationcorrection signals from LEFT SEPARATION control R101 through R59 and RIGHT
SEPARATION control R102 through R44 are also applied to the summing amplifier.
The pilot signal is derived from a 3.04 MHz crystal oscillator formed by Q1 and
associated components.
The frequency of this oscillator is determined primarily by crystal Y1.
The signal may be trimmed to the desired frequency
(corresponding to a pilot-tone frequency of 19.0 kHz) by PILOT FREQUENCY capacitor C54.
Transistor Q2 interfaces the oscillator into the logic buffer U12B.
The output of U12B at pin 4 is a pulse at a rate of 3.04 MHz and is applied to
divider U13 for division down to 304 kHz.
The output of U13 at pin 11 is
applied to the input of U14, which divides the signal down to 76 kHz. The output of U14 at pin 9 drives the final divider U15. The outputs at U15 pins 5
and 6 are the aforementioned out of phase 38 kHz pulses which drive the
electronic switch U9. A 19 kHz signal is also supplied by divider U15 at pin
9. The 19 kHz signal is buffered by U12A and is then applied to buffers Q3 and
Q4.
The low impedance of this stage provides drive for the pilot filter consisting of L 1 and PILOT PHASE control C58. L 1 permits phasing or timing of the
pilot tone relative to the 38 kHz switching signal . The output of PILOT LEVEL
control R46, a sinusoid, is applied to the summing amplifier through R45.
GAIN of the summing amplifier U10 is determined by STEREO GAIN control R61,
The output of this stage is applied to the
whose range is limited by R60.
phase-linear 53 kHz lowpass filter FL3 through series terminating resistor R63.
The filter output is terminated primarily by R64. This filter attenuates any
signal component above 53 kHz. This results in a smoothing out of the switched
pulse left and right signal into a continuous wave.
Signal input to the output buffer amplifier U11 is determined by K1, which
selects either the mono input from pin M or the stereo signal appearing across
R64. The mono signal source is determined by the connection to pin M of either
the left channel (L) input or the right channel (R) input.
The unit is normally wired to utilize the left channel signal, but conversion in the field to
supply the right channel signal for mono transmission may be easily accomplished.
Refer to the FIELD MODIFICATIONS section, Mono Source Selection and
to fi gures 5 and 7 .
To eliminate the possibility of phase-cancellation problems in the interconnecting link between the program source and the transmitter site, only one audio channel at a time is accepted for transmission in the
mono mode.
For proper channel balance, both the L and R cables must remain

connected to their respective terminals .

Relay K1 is controlle d by transisto r Q5. This transisto r is part of a latching
circuit involving Q5, Q6, Q7 and Q8. This latch may be switched from one mode
to the other by operating either the front panel mode switch or by momentary
connectio n to ground of the remote control terminals , J101, pin 10 or 12.
A
transisto r or open-coll ector TTL gate may be used to accomplis h remote control
swi tching. Capacitor C60 simulates closing of S101 to the STEREO position so
that the latch will set to the STEREO mode upon each applicati on of power. I f
it is desired to power up to monaural operation , move C60 to the equivalen t
posi tion near Q7. Installin g C60 in the alternate position is described in the
FIELD MODIFICATIONS section, Power Up to Monaural. Light- emitting diodes CR10 1
and CR102 indicate the mode status on the front panel.
The power supply is of conventio nal design, with a split-prim ary power
transform er, full wave rectifica tion, and electroni c regulatio n of critical

FIELD MODIFICATIONS
POWER-UP TO MONAURAL
The BTS-101A is normally shipped from the factory wired to return to the
stereophonic mode of operation at turn-on or following a power failure. Should
it be necessary to return to the monaural mode following a power failure, one
capacitor must be moved. Locate C60 (10 MF 20 volts) on the components layout
drawing, figure 5, and the BTS-101A top view, figure 4, and carefully de-solder
it from the printed wiring board. Reinstall the capacitor in the pair of holes
immediately to the left of the original location ( as viewed from the front).
The unit will now return to monaural operation following a power failure.
This change does not affect the stere-mono switching .
MONO SOURCE SELECTION
The stereo generator is normally shipped to utilize the left channel for monaural transmission. To select the right channel, unsolder the center conductor
of the shielded cable (L) from the terminal immediately in front of the monostereo selection relay K1. In its place, solder the center conductor of the
companion (R) shielded cable.
NOTE: Both Land R cables must remain
in place and connected to terminals L
and R for proper channel belance . In
case of a modification to right channel mono output, insure that the M pin
end of the unused cable does not
short.
REWIRING POWER TRANSFORMER FOR 240 V AC INPUT
The BTS-1 01A is normally wired for a primary voltage of 120 V ac . The splitprimary power transformer, T101, can have its windings connected in series for
240 V ac input, as shown on the schematic. The transformer has been designed
for either 50 or 60 Hz operation. When the transformer is reconnected for 240
V ac operation, the fuse should be changed to one with a 1/8-ampere rating.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
The internal adjustments are factory sealed to prevent changes due to vibration
during shipment, and should not normally require field adjustment. This alignment procedure is provided in the event that component replacement or other
unusual conditions make realignment necessary .
TEST EQUIPMENT
The test equipment listed in the RECOMMENDED TEST EQUIPMENT l ist in the front
of this book is necessary for the alignment of the BTS-101A Stereo Generator.
It is very important that the test equipment be checked periodically for
accuracy of calibration .

POWER SUPPLY CHECK
1. Apply power to the stereo generator and check the de voltages at TP6 (gray)
and TP7 (white). Refer to figure 4. The voltages should be plus and minus
24 volts, _:!:10% respectively.
2. Check the voltage regulators by testing the following points ( see figure

The de voltage at U1 pin 7 should be 12 volts +5% .
The de voltage at U1 pin 4 should be -12 volts-+5%.
The de voltage at U15 pin 14 should be 5 volts +5%.

AUDIO STAGE ALIGNMENT
1.

Connect the left and right audio inputs in parallel and in phase and apply
a 2.45 volt rms audio signal at 2122 Hz (equivalent to an L=R signal of +10
dBm).

2.

Check that stereo generator is in STEREO mode (S101 to STEREO), and set the
PILOT LEVEL control to off (R46 fully counterclockwise).

3.

Set the audio amplifiers flat by switching out pre-emphasis networks
(switches S1 through S4 to left) and audio filters out (switches S5 and S6
up).

4.

Set LEFT GAIN control (R7) for an output level of O dBV (0 . 775 V rms) at
TP3 (green).

5.

Set right channel 150 Hz linear crosstalk control (R28) for a O dBV level
at TP4 (blue).

6.

Reduce oscillator level until output at TP3 equals -3 dBV (0. 548 V rms) .
Switch to left channel pre-emphasis networks (switches S1 and S2 to right)
and adjust LEFT PRE-EMPHASIS control ( R15) until output at TP3 equals 0
dBV. Switch out left pre-emphasis (switches S1 and S2 to left) and return
oscillator to original level.

Disconnect the audio oscillator from the generator inputs and connect a
sweep generator in its place.
A.
Set the scope for external horizontal input and drive this input with
the control voltage output of the sweep generator. Set the sweep width of
the generator to cover the range of 200 Hz to 16 kHz, and set the sweep
rate to approximately 5 sweeps per second.
B. This step requires the use of a precision differential amplifier having
a common mode rejection ratio of approximately 80 dB.
Such an amplifier
may be constructed as shown in figure 14. Connect the inputs of the precision unity gain differential amplifier to TP3 and TP4 and connect the
differential amplifier output to the vertical input of the oscilloscope.
C. Set the scope to 1 V/cm sensitivity; feed a left only reference signal
to the sweep generator, and adjust the output level of the sweep generator
to yield a 2 volts peak-to-peak signal on the scope.
Feed an L=R signal to the stereo generator and set the scope sensitivity to

5 mV/cm.
The scope now displays amplitude and phase errors (between the two audio
channels) on the vertical axis against frequency on the horizontal axis.
Adjustments will now be made which will reduce these errors to 5 mV peak-topeak ( 1 cm peak-to-peak) which is 52 dB below the reference level. It may
be necessary to decrease the scope sensitivity at the beginning of an adjustment but the displayed error should ultimately be below 5 mV peak-topeak (1 cm peak-to-peak on 5 mV/cm setting).
Confirm that both pre-emphasis networks are switched out
through S4 to the left).

10 . Adjust right channel 150 Hz linear crosstalk control (R28) for minimum
amplitude on the scope during the mid and low-frequency portion of the
sweep.
Adjust 15 kHz linear crosstalk (FLAT) capacitor C24 for minimum
amplitude at the higher frequencies.
11. This step requries that the sweep generator signal be de-emphasized.
Insert a suitable de-emphasis network, such as the one shown in figure 15,
between the sweep generator and stereo generator.
Note that the deemphasis network shown is designed to work into the 300 ohm impedance presented by the parallel connection of the left and right inputs of the
stereo generator. Whenever this network is used to feed a single 600 ohm
input, that input should be paralleled with a 600 ohm resistor so that the
de-emphasis network always operates into a 300 ohm load.
Switch in the pre-emphasis networks of both audio channels ( switches S 1
through S4 to the right).
Adjust right channel 1500 Hz linear crosstalk
control (R37) for minimum amplitude at the mid-frequencies. Adjust right
channel 15 kHz linear crosstalk control (R35) for minimum amplitude at the
high frequencies .

12. Repeat steps 10 and 11 (de-emp hasis and pre-emp hasis out for step 10).
AUDIO FILTER ALIGNMENT
During this phase of alignme nt, the permiss ible error magnitud e will be relaxed
to . 01 volts peak-to- peak (2 cm peak-to- peak on 5 mV/cm setting ), which is 46
dB below the referenc e level. The differe ntial amplifi er, sweep oscilla tor,
and oscillos cope should remain in the same configu ration as utilized in the
previous steps.
Again, it may be necessa ry to vary the scope vertica l
sensitiv ity at the beginnin g of this adjustm ent, but the error should utimate ly
be .01 volts peak-to- peak, or less, for frequen cies below 15 kHz.
1.

Switch in both left and right channel audio lowpass filters (switche s .S5
and S6 down) and carefull y adjust each inducto r slug on FL 1 and FL2 for
m1n1mum error. This alignme nt should be accomplished by a number of small
systema tic adjustm ents working from inducto r to inducto r in a repetiti ve
cycle. No single adjustm ent will obtain the desired results , but rather, a
balance of a number of correct adjustm ents is necessa ry. The criterio n for
a correct single adjustm ent is to reduce the error single amplitud e as much
as possible while simultan eously reducing amplitud e variatio ns (ripple) in
the error signal.
Both criteria ,;ire equally importa nt and reductio n of
error amplitud e at the expense of increasi ng error ripple is to be avoided .
When this point is found, it is time to move on to another inductor for
further adjusme nt. When the audio filters are properly adjusted , the differentia l amplifie r should yield a moniton ically rising error signal with
increasi ng frequenc y. The end result should look trumpet shaped, with the
error signal not exceedin g .01 volts peak-to- peak at 15 kHz and below.

2.

Switch the left and right channel pre-emp hasis network s out (switche s S1
through S4 to left) and remove sweep de-emph asis. Confirm that the filters
meet specific ation in this configu ration.

3.

Disconn ect the differe ntial amplifie r and sweep oscilla tor. Re-conn ect the
audio oscillat or to the left input at +10 dBm. While monitor ing TP3 with
an audio voltmet er, confirm that the frequenc y response is down not more
than 0.5 dB at 10 kHz, and not more than 1 dB at 15 kHz. Also, check that
the stopband response is down 40 dB or better at and above 19 kHz.

4.

Repeat step 3 for right channel at TP4.

SEPARATION ADJUSTMENT
1.

Insert the de-emph asis network and switch in the stereo generat or's left
and right channel pre-emp hasis network s (switche s S1 through S4 to right).

2.

Set the front-pa nel SEPARATION LEFT and SEPARATION RIGHT control s of the
stereo generato r to mid-pos ition. Also, set the variable capacito r (C6) on
the 53 kHz lowpass filter (FL-3) to half mesh.

3.

Set the audio oscillat or to 500 Hz at +10 dBm, feeding left channel only.

4.

Set the stereo generato r in MONO mode and monitor the composi te output at
J102 on a scope. Externa lly synchro nize the scope sweep with the audio

oscillator. Adjust the front-panel OUTPUT LEVEL control on the stereo generator until the output signal measures 3. 5 volts peak-to-peak on the
scope.
5.

Set the stereo generator in STEREO mode and adjust the STEREO GAIN control
(R61) for an output of 3.5 volts peak-to-peak at J102.

6.

If scope performance has previously been verified, skip this step.
Check
oscilloscope phase shift and overload characteristics by moni taring the
signal at pin 2 of the electronic switch U9. Set the scope vertical amplifier sensitivity to 5 mV/cm, de. Ideally, a flat baseline should be observed because the actual separation at this point is well in excess of 60
dB. A scope which displays a baseline whose variation is 2.5 mV peak-topeak or less is acceptable for the remainder of these adjustments. This
amount of variation limits the accuracy of further separation adjustments
to 58 dB.
If the scope displays more than 2.5 mV peak-to-peak baseline
variation, which is not caused by poor overload characteristics, it may be
possible to correct this by properly adjusting the high-frequency compensation circuits in the scope's vertical amplifiers.

7.

Once the performance of the scope has been verified, keep it set at 5 mV/cm
de and monitor the stereo generator output at J 102.
Adjust the LEFT
SEPARATION control for a flat baseline at 500 Hz. See figure 3, photo 1.

8.

Set the oscillator to 14 kHz, and adjust the variable capacitor (C6) on the
53 kHz lowpass filter (FL3) for a flat baseline.
NOTE:
In case of failure of a component in FL3, the entire filter
assembly must be replaced.

9.

Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until the baseline is flat at both 500 Hz and 14 kHz.

10. With the oscillator at 500 Hz, feed a right only signal and adjust the
RIGHT SEPARATION control for a flat baseline.
11. While observing the baseline amplitude, manually sweep the oscillator from
500 Hz to 15 kHz for both left only and right only input conditions.
Verify that the worst case baseline amplitude is no greater than 15 mV
peak-to-peak (3 cm peak-to-peak). This corresponds to a separation figure
of 47 dB and usually occurs around 8 kHz.
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
1.

Feed signal to both inputs in phase (L+R signal). Set oscillator to 500 Hz
at 2.45 volts rms and switch stereo generator to MONO mode.

2.

Verify that the stereo generator output at J 102 is 3. 5 V peak-to-peak .
Adjust front-panel OUTPUT LEVEL control, if necessary.

3.

Connect the output (J102) of the stereo generator through a 5000 ohm pot to
the baseband input of a BW-85A (BW-185) stereo monitor.
Set the monitor's function switch to TOTAL and the range switch to MOD.
Adjust the pot until the monitor reads 100% modulation.

REMOTE FUNCTIONS
1.

Verify that the metering samples (J101 pins 7 and 9) are approximately 0.8
volts rms . Pin 7 is the left sample and pin 9 is the right sample.

2.

Check external mode lines for proper operation. Short pin 12 of J101 to
ground for mono mode and short pin 10 of J101 for stereo mode of operation .

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
The stereo generator, as it now stands, is optimally aligned in all regards.
Separation and crosstalk from all causes for frequencies between 50 Hz and 15
kHz will be in excess of 45 dB. Therefore, no further adjustments should be
performed on the stereo generator. During the final performance verification,
the BW-85A (BW-185) FM monitor will be used to secure the majority of readings
included on the final test data sheet.
If, during final test, the monitor
produces unfavorable readings avoid any temptation to adjust the stereo
generator.
Rather, recalibrate the monitor in accordance with instructions
supplied with it.
