1 INTRODUCTION:
SD Series Introduction
The SD Series model beacon transmitters are computer controlled systems designed around the Motorola
ColdFire® microprocessor. These systems are capable of remote monitoring and maintenance via several
communication methods including RS232, RS 422, and RS485 protocols. An optional operator front panel offers the
common user controls normally found on an analog transmitter. These panels may also be used for remote control.
With the exception of main power application, all aspects of transmitter setup and operation come under the direct
control of the Controller / Monitor. The following are all programmable:
* Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) of RF frequency and Audio Tone Frequency
* Identifier Morse code dot, dash and space intervals.
* Customer IDENT sequence
* Standard Alarms
* Additional Fault handling based on multipoint voltage, current and temperature monitoring
* Transfer Criteria (Dual Only)
* Power limits
* Modulation limits
The Controller / Monitor itself can be controlled and monitored by another computer system connected locally via
one of the hard wire protocols mentioned above or remotely using phone lines or any other carrier which can handle a
standard US Robotics modem spectral output.

1.2 SPECIFICATIONS: SD Series Dual
General Description: SD25
This non-directional beacon is an Amplitude Modulated transmitter with an adjustable output power from 5 to 25
watts. The transmitter uses switching technology in the power amplifiers and modulator / regulator modules resulting
in a highly efficient system, in a small package.
The exciter portion consists of an embedded 32-bit micro controller, an I/O interface circuit, an A/D converter, a
monitor circuitry, and an optional voice processing circuitry in a single 3U enclosure. The controller has one "stored"
non-volatile memory, redundant RF DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer), redundant AF (Tone) DDS, and two serial
ports (local and remote). Settings for ID mode, ID code, ID rate, sequence of operation and other parameters are set
by an user interface program. Simple controls such as power adjustment, percent modulation, and side transfer are
available locally for technical setup. Also for convenience, PA voltage, PA current, PA temperature, RF frequency,
Tone frequency, Carrier power and percent modulation are displayed locally via 7-segment readouts. A simple switch
disables remote control operation during local technical service.
The power portion of each transmitter consists of two independent 25 watts systems. Each system has an output filter,
a switching power amplifier and switching modulator / regulator, power supply, and an optional battery supply.
The SD25 Dual consists of two independent SD25 transmitters and a Digitally Controlled Automatic Transfer unit
housed in a single cabinet designed for outdoor use.
Transmitter: Model SD25

Numeric Digital Display Meters: Power output, reflected power, PA voltage, PA current, percent modulation, audio
input level.
Keyer: Any combination of Morse code letters or numerals with any user set values pertaining to the length of dots
and dashes, the time between them and the number of repetitions of the identification code per minute (character
length dependent).
Circuit Protection: Open and short circuit proof and immune to damage that can be cause by improper antenna
loads. Individual fuses are used to protect the AC and DC circuits and immune to severe damage caused by improper
installation. VSWR circuit that shuts down the transmitter if VSWR exceeds an adjustable value. Over temperature

Working Conditions: Continuous unattended operation in the following environments: ambient temperature, -40(C
to +70(C; relative humidity, 0-100%; high salinity as encountered in offshore conditions. IP66. Cooling by heat
sinks with no fans.
Monitoring: Transmitter shuts down with loss of tone, drop in modulation below an adjustable value, or continuous
tone, or when power falls below an adjustable value, or when VSWR rises above an adjustable value or when
temperature rises above an adjustable value or in the event of a change in the code, its duration or rate. With a dual
system, a shutdown signal initiates a transfer from the primary transmitter to the secondary transmitter.
Self-Diagnostics: Computer diagnostic routines that identify malfunctioning modules at LRU level available via
local or remote PC. Transmitter and antenna coupler are suitable for installation and operation by untrained
personnel.

General Description: SD100
This non-directional beacon is an Amplitude Modulated transmitter with an adjustable output power from 5 to 100
watts. The transmitter uses switching technology in the power amplifiers and modulator / regulator modules resulting
in a highly efficient system, in a small package.
The exciter portion consists of an embedded 32-bit micro controller, an I/O interface circuit, an A/D converter, a
monitor circuitry, and an optional voice processing circuitry in a single 3U enclosure. The controller has one "stored"

ports (local and remote). Settings for ID mode, ID code, ID rate, sequence of operation and other parameters are set
by an user interface program. Simple controls such as power adjustment, percent modulation, and side transfer are
available locally for technical setup. Also for convenience, PA voltage, PA current, PA temperature, RF frequency,
Tone frequency, Carrier power and percent modulation are displayed locally via 7-segment readouts. A simple switch
disables remote control operation during local technical service.

2 THEORY OF OPERATION, SD SERIES UNIT
2.1 Functional Description: SD Series Transmitter
General Theory of Operation
SLP10007 - Controller / Monitor
The CONTROLLER/ MONITOR employs the new Motorola MCF5206 COLDFIRE(r) microprocessor. It
encompasses the following sections:
COLDFIRE Processor - 32-bit
ADC - 8-Channel 12-bit
DAC - 8-Channel 8-bit
DDS - Radio Frequency (190K to 1800KHz)
DDS - Tone Frequency (400 / 1020 Hz)
Flash Memory - 4Mb
DRAM - 16Mb
Programmable Logic
Digital I/O (Read/Write)
UART
Watch Timer and NV-RAM
COLDFIRE Processor section:
The LOGIC program creates 16MHz from 32MHz for the clock frequency of the microprocessor. The processor
controls several peripheral functions such as memory, task timers, I/O bus lines, and RS-232 ports. For the dual
system, the primary Controller / Monitor and secondary Controller / Monitor may talk to each other through
Controller / Monitor Motherboard (SLP10012) by using 2 COM-PORT lines (ex: RXD & TXD). Each Controller /
Monitor has one interrupt line for paying attention what other Controller / Monitor has something is important, then
Controller / Monitor sets "RS-232" MUX to be enabled.
Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC) section:
The Controller / Monitor Controller PCB has two (AD7891) 12-bit ADC chips, so there are 16 analog inputs. The
channel selection of input range is 0 to +5 V.

SECTION 2
Briefly, the SDxx system takes advantage of the powerful Motorola ColdFire(r) microprocessor. It is located on the
Controller / Monitor PCB and is the heart of the system, generally controling all system operation either directly or in
conjunction with an Analog and Digital I/O multiplexing interface.
The following are all controlled by the embedded firmware, Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) of RF
frequency and AF tone frequency , Identifier Morse code dot, dash and space intervals., Customer IDENT sequence,
the standard alarms, any additional Fault handling based on multipoint voltage, current and temperature monitoring ,
transfer criteria (Dual Only), power limiting and modulation limiting.
RS 232,RS422 and RS485 protocols are supported. A US Robotics Modem is furnished for using phone lines.
The RF section consists of the RF PA Power Supply, The RF PA Amplifier, The Filter /Bridge, and the
Mother Board which interconnects them all. This section is interconnected with the Controller/Monitor which
Dictates the Frequency of operation, power output, and modulation percentage. Operational information is also
passed. A more detailed breakdown as to functionality follows on a board by board basis.
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) section:
The 8-bit DAC provides eight digitally controlled dc voltage outputs. The limited of output range is 0 to +5 V. The
user may adjust dc analog level or turn on/off likely digital level.
RF Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) section:
The 50MHz clock input is for the RF DDS. The RF DDS provides two different signal-waves (square wave and sine
wave). The square wave level is 0 to +5.0 V (recommended) and the sine wave level is 0 to 1.0 V. The DDS has 8
data digitally inputs. The code may store 4 data bytes for the 32-bit RF DDS tuning word. RF is enabled by writing
the desired frequency to the DDS, and disabled by writing a zero frequency to the DDS. The RF DDS goes the signal
through EMI filter to generate a low jitter square wave output.
Tone Frequency Direct Digital Synthesizer section:
The 50MHz clock input is also used by the AF DDS. The AF DDS signal is sine wave only. The user may adjust AF
amplitude modulation. Two methods for keying the tone are available. The first is like the RF DDS - load a frequency
into the registers of the DDS chip. The second is simply "keying" (digital ON/OFF) of a reserved I/O signal. The
settings for ID mode, ID code, ID rate, sequence of operation and other parameters are set by a user interface
program.
Flash Memory section:
Its 4Mb of memory is organized as 512K x 8. The firmware for the E(E)PROM is written in assembly / C code. It
may move data to DRAM and NV-RAM memory when the power is up. It is simple to replace when the code is
updated.
DRAM section:
The PCB has two DRAM devices. It totals 1Mb x 16 x 2 (32-bit data). During initialization the EPROM moves data
to the DRAM.
Programmable LOGIC (LATTICE device) section:
There are two LATTICE chips on the PCB. The Programmable Logic provides several necessary functions such as
control lines, 1Hz, 16MHz, enabled / disabled lines and interrupt lines.
Digital I/O section:
There are 32 digital inputs or outputs and 4 control lines for writing. Each control has 8 data lines organized as one
byte each. They are used for the status fault, frequency reading, reset, and control data.
Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UART) section:
The Controller / Monitor processor has two UARTs. They are used for RS-232 only. SAC offers four possible
transmitter configurations as follows:
Single TX without a LOCAL CONTROL panel:
The Controller / Monitor serial port 1 is probably used for PC.
The Controller / Monitor serial port 2 is used for PC / Modem through Controller / Monitor Motherboard (Controller
/ Monitor MB - SLP10012).
Single TX with a LOCAL CONTROL panel:
The Controller / Monitor serial port 1 is used for the local operating panel.
The Controller / Monitor serial port 2 is used for PC / Modem through Controller / Monitor MB.
Dual TX without a LOCAL CONTROL panel:
Either Controller / Monitor1 or Controller / Monitor2 serial port 1 is probably used for PC.
The serial port 2 is used for PC / Modem through Controller / Monitor MB.
Dual TX with a LOCAL CONTROL panel:

SLP10009 Digital I/O and PWM Theory
The Digital I/O and PWM PCB consists of several sub sections which accomplish the following functions:
Digital Input State Reading
Digital Output Control
Frequency Counting
Audio to PWM Conversion
AWOS Option.
The Digital Input Section receives and conditions state information from the various system modules mainly
indicating the fault status of these sections but also monitoring the state of other sensors. While retaining their unique
state value all of these signals are combined into one interrupt request (IRQ) line for rapid servicing of external
events. A local red fault LED indicates the arrival of a fault condition. The processor take action depending on the
nature of the condition.
The Digital Output Section conditions and outputs a state condition to the various system modules primarily to
perform fault resets. Antenna switching is also controlled by this section.
The Frequency Counter section conditions and samples the Direct Digital Synthesizer generated frequency from the
RF power amplifier. This data is relayed to the processor which monitors the output RF frequency for accuracy.
The PWM section of this board inputs audio signals from the tone generating Direct Digital Synthesizer and from an
optional voice input piggybacked PCB for AWOS functionality. The composite audio signal is summed with an
adjustable DC level and converted into a 75 kHz Pulse Width Modulated signal with its basic no-audio duty cycle
being set at a fixed percentage. This fixed level facilitates modulation tracking irregardless of power level output. A
back-up modulation limiting circuit prevents over-modulation from damaging the RF Amplifier but main over
modulation protection control for Tone signals is a software function of the processor which monitors modulation at
all times.
The Optional AWOS plug in PCB Contains an AGC section which prevents over-modulation by the USER audio
signal. There is also a built in active Audio band-pass filter which eliminates signals outside of the 300 to 3000Hz
pass band. Signals generated on this Optional PCB also alert the processor which then cuts the main tone level and
temporarily ceases issuing any modulation alarms based on modulation percentage.

SECTION 2
Watch Timer and NV-RAM section:
The NV-RAM provides 32Kb of memory available to the user. The NV-RAM can hold data more than 10 years in
the absence of power. It allows the operator to store various settings in NV memory. When the power is up,
Controller / Monitor can follow the user settings in NV memory. The Watchdog timer restarts an out of control
Controller / Monitor processor. The code may use the real-time clock for 255 task timers (background).
The Audio PCB is an OPTIONAL addition to the normal system which allows the user to broadcast AWOS
announcements. The Option is implemented as a plug in piggyback board to the Digital I/O PCB and consists of four
sections as follows:
Voice Amplifier
Automatic Gain Control
Chebychev Passband Filter
Voice Detector
The Voice amplifier takes the nominal -17dBm signal level and boost it to a level useable by the AGC
section
It is common mode balanced and its Gain is adjustable.
The AGC circuit is responsible for modulation limiting. It is adjusted to "capture" the level at -17dBm and
output a constant modulation level to the Digital I/O PWM section up to levels exceeding +10 dBm. This section
prevents inadvertent over modulation of the voice signal, and is necessary since the Controller / Monitor has no
control over user input.
The Chebychev Passband filter is designed for 300 to 3000 Hz. The output at 4000 Hz is down more than 45
dB ensuring any out of band audio signals from the USER will not cause adjacent channel interference.
The Voice Detector has two functions. It detects the presence of an announcement sequence and
automatically attenuates the Keying tone level down to 20% modulation. The announcement level is summed with
the Keying tone level and set to achieve 95% composite modulation. This action prevents over modulation and allows
the announcement to be heard over the beacon Morse code IDENT tones. It also signals the Controller /Monitor
which in turn temporarily suspends Modulation Alarms since the IDENT tone level is dropped below the alarm
threshold.
SLP10005 Analog I/O
The Analog I/O and PWM PCB consists of several sub sections which accomplish the following functions:
Analog Signal Input
Analog Signal Output
Modulation Detection
The Analog Input Section is essentially a 40 channel low pass filtered analog MUX. These multiplexed inputs are
actually an expansion scheme which adds additional analog inputs to those already available to the controller/
monitor. This allows the overall system to be expanded to control larger multi-section transmitters up to 1KW at
present.
Signals such as RF Power Amplifier voltage, current and temperature, to name only a few, are sampled and read in to
the Controller / Monitor via this MUX. The multiplexing process is directly controlled by the Controller Monitor.
The Analog Signal Output Section is a smaller MUX facilitating output control expansion. As an example,
an analog control signal originating in the Controller / Monitor such as PWR_LEVEL ( a 0.0 to 4.0 volt DC level) is
•

sent to this Sample and Hold MUX channel 1. Via this channel the MUX outputs this particular level to the PA Power
Supply which dictates the output power level of the transmitter. The Next Channel of the MUX can control yet
another module requiring some level of control voltage if needed.
SLP10017 Low Voltage Power Supply
The LVPS Furnishes +5, +12, and -12VDC to the Controller/ Monitor Mother Board and itself plugs into the
mother PCB. It is transformer driven to allow for 115/230VAC operation. 48VDC operation allows running off of
emergency battery. The LVPS also passes 50VDC or 48V BATTERY to the user section to power miscellaneous
circuitry.
SLP10003 PA Power Supply Theory
The PA Power Supply (PAPS)
The PA Power Supply consists of three sub-sections, namely, the Inrush Current section , the DC Controller,
and the DC-DC Converter. Included with these are associated signal sense and fault circuitry. Taking them one at a
time in the general structure of their usage follows.
1.) The Inrush Current Section:
After receiving the HV-ON signal from the Controller / Monitor, this section switches on HV-DC and controls the
charge rate of the HV DC supply capacitors to avoid damagingly high inrush currents. It does this by limiting the
charge current and monitoring the voltage build-up on the large capacitor bank until it reaches an acceptable charge
level, after which unlimited current is applied. The Raw HV is sampled and fed back to the Controller / Monitor.
2.) The DC Controller
This section is a buck regulator with feedback control to reduce the Raw HV DC down to level usable by the RF
Power Amplifier section. Under Controller / Monitor control, the output of this section can be varied, which in turn
will vary the power output of the RF Power Amplifier. The feedback allows the DC Controller to respond to the peak
power demands of the PA greatly reducing or eliminating carrier droop. This section Also isolates the PA from input
power fluctuations and or "brown-outs", and maintains a steady power output over widely varying conditions. Since
the DC Controller controls the RF power output and the PA sections modulator can run a constant carrier level duty
cycle, power can be changed with out resetting the modulation percentage. The DC Controllers Voltage and Current
output is sampled and fed back to the Controller / Monitor for monitoring. Fault conditions for current and voltage
will automatically shut down the section and report to the Controller / Monitor which can attempt to bring the unit
back on line if the problem was transitory or perhaps switch transmitters if the system is a dual configuration.

SECTION 2
The Modulation Detector receives a detected sample of the RF envelope form the bridge circuit and converts
it into two DC levels called Vmax and Vgref. The Controller / Monitor reads in these levels and subtracts Vgref from
Vmax to derive Vmin. Vmax and Vmin are then used in the standard modulation formula to obtain modulation
percentage in the same way as someone would calculate it manually using an oscilloscope. This circuit is intended to
free the Controller / Monitor from having to sample large amounts of envelope data to statistically calculate the
percentage thereby facilitating more of a real-time monitoring of modulation. Correction curves are embedded to
resolve linearity issues arising from the detection process.
3.) The DC-DC Converter
The converter will take an optional 48VDC battery back-up source and produce HV which is combined with the
normal AC HVDC to provide a seamless transition from AC to DC operation in the event of a Brownout or AC
power failure. It is purposely set lower than the nominal AC HVDC to allow for simple diode combining and to
preserve battery life while outputting a legal signal. It is NOT regulated but rather will slowly output less HV as the
batteries drain. If regulated it would draw more and more current as the batteries became weaker. Since the system is
computer controlled decisions can be made to stay on the air at reduced power levels in emergency situations
allowing battery conservation . The Converter is a basic Chopped DC-DC converter with over-current sensing and
local fault shutdown latches. The fault condition is also reported to the Controller / Monitor. A Reset of all latched
fault logic states can be is performed by the Controller / Monitor as necessary. A dual low voltage +12VDC supply
12VA and 12VB is fed by +50VDC derived from the AC line or 48VDC supplied by the battery backup ensuring
continuous operation of the low level stages after the initial power on. The separated 12V feeds ensures minimal
cross-talk between the DC-DC Controller and the DC Controller. As an aside the 50VDC supply (located elsewhere
depending on the system) is also monitored by the Controller / Monitor along with 48VDC Battery current and
voltage for diagnostic information.
SLP10001 RF Power Amplifier
The RF Power Amplifier PCB is a Pulse Width Modulator and RF power amplifier in one package. The Pulse width
Modulator section is commonly called the Modulator and the RF Power Amplifier is commonly called the PA. These
terms will be used for the rest of this discussion.
The PA section is comprised of a broadband pre-amplifier and Class "D" RF power amplifier. It inputs
either the Controller / Monitor controlled Direct Digital Synthesized RF drive signal or a customer furnished signal.
Its output power is controlled by the Modulator.
The Modulator is basically a 75 kHz buck converter. It inputs D.C. High Voltage from the PA Power supply Section
and uses a 75 kHz square-wave input from the Controller / Monitor-I/O section to chop, filter and reduce the DC-HV
to a level usable by the PA. The Voltage the Modulator outputs to the PA is a function of both the input HV and the
duty cycle of the 75 Khz square-wave. The 75 kHz Duty cycle of is set to 45% and not used to change the overall RF
Power output level. The power output level of the PA is set by changing the input DC-HV and this is done under
Controller / Monitor control. To Modulate the PA, audio frequency information in the form of a Morse Code Station
ID tone sequence or an AWOS voice announcement, pulse width modulates the 75 kHz signal controlling the
Modulator section thus varying its output voltage at the audio rate. This varies the instantaneous voltage applied to
the PA, modulating its output Power.
Critical parameters such as PA Voltage , Current , and Temperature are sensed and monitored continuously by the
Controller / Monitor. Local (on board automatic) over-current protection is built in. The protection scheme also
provides interrupt driven fault reporting to the Controller / Monitor.
SLP10002 Filter/Bridge PCB Theory
The Filter/Bridge includes a broadband toroidal impedance transformer, a seven pole Butterworth low pass
filter, a broadband RF power bridge, modulation envelope detector and associated level sampling and fault latching
circuitry.
The Impedance transformer receives as input the RF Power Amplifiers Class D output and impedance matches it to
the 50Ohm Butterworth Low Pass Filter, which is configured for optimum characteristics via simple jumpers for the
frequency band in use. The sinusoidal 50Ohm output of the Filter is Fed then fed through the RF power bridge which
reports readings of Forward and Reflected RF Power to the Controller / Monitor. The Controller / Monitor then
normalizes and calibrates the power curve and calculates SWR. Fault latches are also set up to report High reflected

power or RF over-current conditions for immediate action via a fault interrupt structure. A sample of the final RF
output envelope is detected and sent back to the Controller / Monitor where other circuitry derives Vmax/Vmin
information for modulation percentage calculation via Controller / Monitor firmware.

The Optional Local Control can be used as either a local or remote operating panel. The Local Control is a

system. It offers similar functionality to a standard front panel on older equipment.
The complex logic needed to for pushbutton control and display is accomplished using programmable gate-array
logic.
The Local Control provides two serial communication ports (RS-232 / RS-485). The RS-232 port is used locally for
the Controller / Monitor serial port 1. The RS-485 port is connected remotely to the Controller / Monitor port 1.

2.2 SLF31002/00 - Basic Dual Transmitter
2.2.1 P.A. PCB
SLP10001 RF Power Amplifier
The RF Power Amplifier PCB is a Pulse Width Modulator and RF power amplifier in one package. The Pulse width
Modulator section is commonly called the Modulator and the RF Power Amplifier is commonly called the PA.
These terms will be used for the rest of this discussion.
The PA section is comprised of a broadband pre-amplifier and Class "D" RF power amplifier. It inputs
either the Controller / Monitor controlled Direct Digital Synthesized RF drive signal or a customer furnished signal.
Its output power is controlled by the Modulator.
The Modulator is basically a 75 kHz buck converter. It inputs D.C. High Voltage from the PA Power supply
Section and uses a 75 kHz square-wave input from the Controller / Monitor-I/O section to chop, filter and reduce the
DC-HV to a level usable by the PA. The Voltage the Modulator outputs to the PA is a function of both the input HV
and the duty cycle of the 75 Khz square-wave. The 75 kHz Duty cycle of is set to 45% and not used to change the
overall RF Power output level. The power output level of the PA is set by changing the input DC-HV and this is done
under Controller / Monitor control. To Modulate the PA, audio frequency information in the form of a Morse Code
Station ID tone sequence or an AWOS voice announcement, pulse width modulates the 75 kHz signal controlling the
Modulator section thus varying its output voltage at the audio rate. This varies the instantaneous voltage applied to
the PA, modulating its output Power.
Critical parameters such as PA Voltage , Current , and Temperature are sensed and monitored continuously
by the Controller / Monitor. Local (on board automatic) over-current protection is built in. The protection scheme
also provides interrupt driven fault reporting to the Controller / Monitor.

2.2.2 RF PA Power Supply PCB
SLP10003 RF PA Power Supply
The PA Power Supply (PAPS)
The PA Power Supply consists of three sub-sections, namely, the Inrush Current section , the DC Controller,
and the DC-DC Converter. Included with these are associated signal sense and fault circuitry. Taking them one at a
time in the general structure of their usage follows.
1.) The Inrush Current Section:
After receiving the HV-ON signal from the Controller / Monitor, this section switches on HV-DC
and controls the charge rate of the HV DC supply capacitors to avoid damagingly high inrush currents. It
does this by limiting the charge current and monitoring the voltage build-up on the large capacitor bank
until it reaches an acceptable charge level, after which unlimited current is applied. The Raw HV is sampled
and fed back to the Controller / Monitor.
2.) The DC Controller
This section is a buck regulator with feedback control to reduce the Raw HV DC down to level
usable by the RF Power Amplifier section. Under Controller / Monitor control, the output of this section can
be varied, which in turn will vary the power output of the RF Power Amplifier. The feedback allows the DC
Controller to respond to the peak power demands of the PA greatly reducing or eliminating carrier droop.
This section Also isolates the PA from input power fluctuations and or “brown-outs”, and maintains a steady
power output over widely varying conditions. Since the DC Controller controls the RF power output and the
PA sections modulator can run a constant carrier level duty cycle, power can be changed with out resetting
the modulation percentage. The DC Controllers Voltage and Current output is sampled and fed back to the
Controller / Monitor for monitoring. Fault conditions for current and voltage will automatically shut down
the section and report to the Controller / Monitor which can attempt to bring the unit back on line if the
problem was transitory or perhaps switch transmitters if the system is a dual configuration.
3.) The DC-DC Converter
The converter will take an optional 48VDC battery back-up source and produce HV which is
combined with the normal AC HVDC to provide a seamless transition from AC to DC operation in the event
of a Brownout or AC power failure. It is purposely set lower than the nominal AC HVDC to allow for
simple diode combining and to preserve battery life while outputting a legal signal. It is NOT regulated but
rather will slowly output less HV as the batteries drain. If regulated it would draw more and more current as
the batteries became weaker. Since the system is computer controlled decisions can be made to stay on the
air at reduced power levels in emergency situations allowing battery conservation . The Converter is a basic
Chopped DC-DC converter with over-current sensing and local fault shutdown latches. The fault condition
is also reported to the Controller / Monitor. A Reset of all latched fault logic states can be is performed by
the Controller / Monitor as necessary. A dual low voltage +12VDC supply 12VA and 12VB is fed by
+50VDC derived from the AC line or 48VDC supplied by the battery backup ensuring continuous operation
of the low level stages after the initial power on. The separated 12V feeds ensures minimal cross-talk
between the DC-DC Controller and the DC Controller. As an aside the 50VDC supply (located elsewhere

and voltage for diagnostic information.

2.2.3 Analog I/O and Audio PCB
SLP10005 Analog I/O
The Analog I/O and PWM PCB consists of several sub sections which accomplish the following functions:
The Analog Input Section is essentially a 40 channel low pass filtered analog MUX. These multiplexed
inputs are actually an expansion scheme which adds additional analog inputs to those already available to the
controller/ monitor. This allows the overall system to be expanded to control larger multi-section transmitters up to
1KW at present.
Signals such as RF Power Amplifier voltage, current and temperature, to name only a few, are sampled and read in to
the Controller / Monitor via this MUX. The multiplexing process is directly controlled by the Controller Monitor.
The Analog Signal Output Section is a smaller MUX facilitating output control expansion. As an example,
an analog control signal originating in the Controller / Monitor such as PWR_LEVEL ( a 0.0 to 4.0 volt DC level) is
sent to this Sample and Hold MUX channel 1. Via this channel the MUX outputs this particular level to the PA Power
Supply which dictates the output power level of the transmitter. The Next Channel of the MUX can control yet
another module requiring some level of control voltage if needed.
The Modulation Detector receives a detected sample of the RF envelope form the bridge circuit and converts
it into two DC levels called Vmax and Vgref. The Controller / Monitor reads in these levels and subtracts Vgref from
Vmax to derive Vmin. Vmax and Vmin are then used in the standard modulation formula to obtain modulation
percentage in the same way as someone would calculate it manually using an oscilloscope. This circuit is intended to
free the Controller / Monitor from having to sample large amounts of envelope data to statistically calculate the
percentage thereby facilitating more of a real-time monitoring of modulation. Correction curves are embedded to
resolve linearity issues arising from the detection process.

2.2.4 Controller / Monitor PCB
SLP10007 – Controller / Monitor
The CONTROLLER/ MONITOR employs the new Motorola MCF5206 COLDFIRE®
microprocessor. It encompasses the following sections:
SECTION 2
1. COLDFIRE Processor – 32-bit
2. ADC – 8-Channel 12-bit
3. DAC – 8-Channel 8-bit
4. DDS - Radio Frequency (190K to 1800KHz)
5. DDS – Tone Frequency (400 / 1020 Hz)
6. Flash Memory – 4Mb
7. DRAM – 16Mb
8. Programmable Logic
9. Digital I/O (Read/Write)
10. UART
11. Watch Timer and NV-RAM
² COLDFIRE Processor section:
The LOGIC program creates 16MHz from 32MHz for the clock frequency of the
microprocessor. The processor controls several peripheral functions such as memory,
task timers, I/O bus lines, and RS-232 ports. For the dual system, the primary
Controller / Monitor and secondary Controller / Monitor may talk to each other
through Controller / Monitor Motherboard (SLP10012) by using 2 COM-PORT lines
(ex: RXD & TXD). Each Controller / Monitor has one interrupt line for paying
attention what other Controller / Monitor has something is important, then Controller /
Monitor sets “RS-232” MUX to be enabled.
² Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC) section:
The Controller / Monitor Controller PCB has two (AD7891) 12-bit ADC chips, so
there are 16 analog inputs. The channel selection of input range is 0 to +5 V.
² Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) section:
The 8-bit DAC provides eight digitally controlled dc voltage outputs. The limited of
output range is 0 to +5 V. The user may adjust dc analog level or turn on/off likely
digital level.
² RF Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) section:
The 50MHz clock input is for the RF DDS. The RF DDS provides two different
signal-waves (square wave and sine wave). The square wave level is 0 to +5.0 V
(recommended) and the sine wave level is 0 to 1.0 V. The DDS has 8 data digitally

inputs. The code may store 4 data bytes for the 32-bit RF DDS tuning word. RF is
enabled by writing the desired frequency to the DDS, and disabled by writing a zero
frequency to the DDS. The RF DDS goes the signal through EMI filter to generate a
low jitter square wave output.
² Tone Frequency Direct Digital Synthesizer section:
The 50MHz clock input is also used by the AF DDS. The AF DDS signal is sine wave
only. The user may adjust AF amplitude modulation. Two methods for keying the tone
are available. The first is like the RF DDS - load a frequency into the registers of the
DDS chip. The second is simply “keying” (digital ON/OFF) of a reserved I/O signal.
The settings for ID mode, ID code, ID rate, sequence of operation and other
parameters are set by a user interface program.
² Flash Memory section:
Its 4Mb of memory is organized as 512K x 8. The firmware for the E(E)PROM is
written in assembly / C code. It may move data to DRAM and NV-RAM memory
when the power is up. It is simple to replace when the code is updated.
² DRAM section:
The PCB has two DRAM devices. It totals 1Mb x 16 x 2 (32-bit data). During
initialization the EPROM moves data to the DRAM.
² Programmable LOGIC (LATTICE device) section:
There are two LATTICE chips on the PCB. The Programmable Logic provides several
necessary functions such as control lines, 1Hz, 16MHz, enabled / disabled lines and
interrupt lines.
² Digital I/O section:
There are 32 digital inputs or outputs and 4 control lines for writing. Each control has
8 data lines organized as one byte each. They are used for the status fault, frequency
reading, reset, and control data.
² Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UART) section:
The Controller / Monitor processor has two UARTs. They are used for RS-232 only.
SAC offers four possible transmitter configurations as follows:
B) Single TX without a LOCAL CONTROL panel:

² Watch Timer and NV-RAM section:
The NV-RAM provides 32Kb of memory available to the user. The NV-RAM can
hold data more than 10 years in the absence of power. It allows the operator to store
various settings in NV memory. When the power is up, Controller / Monitor can
follow the user settings in NV memory. The Watchdog timer restarts an out of control
Controller / Monitor processor. The code may use the real-time clock for 255 task
timers (background).

SECTION 2
The Controller / Monitor serial port 1 is probably used for PC.
The Controller / Monitor serial port 2 is used for PC / Modem through
Controller / Monitor Motherboard (Controller / Monitor MB –
SLP10012).
C) Single TX with a LOCAL CONTROL panel:
The Controller / Monitor serial port 1 is used for the local operating
panel.
The Controller / Monitor serial port 2 is used for PC / Modem through
Controller / Monitor MB.
D) Dual TX without a LOCAL CONTROL panel:
Either Controller / Monitor1 or Controller / Monitor2 serial port 1 is
probably used for PC.
The serial port 2 is used for PC / Modem through Controller / Monitor
MB.
E) Dual TX with a LOCAL CONTROL panel:
Either Controller / Monitor1 or Controller / Monitor2 serial port 1 is
used for local operating panel.
The serial port 2 is used for PC / Modem through Controller / Monitor
MB.

2.2.4 Digital I/O and PWM PCB
SLP10009 Digital I/O and PWM Theory
The Digital I/O and PWM PCB consists of several sub sections which accomplish the following functions:
Digital Input State Reading
Digital Output Control
Frequency Counting
Audio to PWM Conversion
AWOS Option.
The Digital Input Section receives and conditions state information from the various system modules mainly
indicating the fault status of these sections but also monitoring the state of other sensors. While retaining their unique
state value all of these signals are combined into one interrupt request (IRQ) line for rapid servicing of external
events. A local red fault LED indicates the arrival of a fault condition. The processor take action depending on the
nature of the condition.
The Digital Output Section conditions and outputs a state condition to the various system modules primarily
to perform fault resets. Antenna switching is also controlled by this section.
The Frequency Counter section conditions and samples the Direct Digital Synthesizer generated frequency
from the RF power amplifier. This data is relayed to the processor which monitors the output RF frequency for
accuracy.
The PWM section of this board inputs audio signals from the tone generating Direct Digital Synthesizer and
from an optional voice input piggybacked PCB for AWOS functionality. The composite audio signal is summed with
an adjustable DC level and converted into a 75 kHz Pulse Width Modulated signal with its basic no-audio duty cycle
being set at a fixed percentage. This fixed level facilitates modulation tracking irregardless of power level output. A
back-up modulation limiting circuit prevents over-modulation from damaging the RF Amplifier but main over
modulation protection control for Tone signals is a software function of the processor which monitors modulation at
all times.
The Optional AWOS plug in PCB Contains an AGC section which prevents over-modulation by the USER
audio signal. There is also a built in active Audio band-pass filter which eliminates signals outside of the 300 to
3000Hz pass band. Signals generated on this Optional PCB also alert the processor which then cuts the main tone
level and temporarily ceases issuing any modulation alarms based on modulation percentage.

2.4.1 User Interface PCB
SLP10001 USER Interface PCB
This PCB is Located in the USER section which contains the AC and DC Power connection Terminal, the
EC filtering modules, the System Fusing and the Modem.
The USER Interface PCB combines in one central location circuitry which allows the Controller/Monitor
control over Antenna Switching in Dual systems and DCAD functions(DC Automatic Disconnect). It also furnishes
the Controller/Monitor with the input AC voltage level and current draw and the Battery system Voltage and current
readings if DC is Optioned.
It also provides convenient interconnect to the USER for MSK interfacing (Digital Global Positioning
Systems such as used by the US coast Guard)
In addition to this cross connects for voice input and phone line connections are present.

2.5.1 Local Control PCB
SLP10016 – Local Control
SECTION 2
The Optional Local Control can be used as either a local or remote operating panel. The Local
Control is a microprocessor-based (Motorola M68HC11) unit offering partial control over the
controller / monitor and thereby the system. It offers similar functionality to a standard front
panel on older equipment.
Pushbuttons allow the user to select and or control the following:
Primary Transmitter Select (1 or 2)
Mode Select (ID, CONT or CARR)
Transmitter Displayed (1 or 2)
And view readings of: readings for:
PA Voltage
PA Current
PA Temperature
Forward Power
Reflected Power
Modulation%
Audio Frequency (tone)
RF Frequency
The user can adjust or set the:
Modulation Percentage
RF Power output level
RF ON/OFF
Enable/Disable Alarms
Select Local/Remote Control
When one of any pushbuttons is pressed except RESET, the 6811 processor sends a data
command to the Controller / Monitor through the serial communication port.
RESET forces Local Panel re-initialization.
The 7 segment led display update comes from the Controller / Monitor The displays provide the
3 following groups for reading:
1. RF Power:
Up to 4 digits display the Modulation%, forward power and reflected power.
2. Power Amplifier (P.A.):
Up to 3 digits Display the voltage, current and temperature.

3. Frequency:
Up to 5 digits display the tone frequency (set) and RF frequency (measured).
The LED indicators simply display the system status. The Local Control receives a command
string from the Controller / Monitor and uses this to set the status indicators.
The complex logic needed to for pushbutton control and display is accomplished using
programmable gate-array logic.
The Local Control provides two serial communication ports (RS-232 / RS-485). The RS232 port is used locally for the Controller / Monitor serial port 1. The RS-485 port is connected
remotely to the Controller / Monitor port 1.

2.5.2 Audio PCB
SLP10020 OPTIONAL AUDIO PCB (AWOS)
The Audio PCB is an OPTIONAL addition to the normal system which allows the user to broadcast AWOS
announcements. The Option is implemented as a plug in piggyback board to the Digital I/O PCB and consists of four
sections as follows:
SECTION 2
Voice Amplifier
Automatic Gain Control
Chebychev Passband Filter
Voice Detector
The Voice amplifier takes the nominal -17dBm signal level and boosts it to a level useable by the AGC
section.
It is common mode balanced and its Gain is adjustable.
The AGC circuit is responsible for modulation limiting. It is adjusted to "capture" the level at -17dBm and
output a constant modulation level to the Digital I/O PWM section up to levels exceeding +10 dBm. This section
prevents inadvertent over modulation of the voice signal, and is necessary since the Controller / Monitor has no
control over user input.
The Chebychev Passband filter is designed for 300 to 3000 Hz. The output at 4000 Hz is down more than 45
dB ensuring any out of band audio signals from the USER will not cause adjacent channel interference.
The Voice Detector has two functions. It detects the presence of an announcement sequence and
automatically attenuates the Keying tone level down to 20% modulation. The announcement level is summed with
the Keying tone level and set to achieve 95% composite modulation. This action prevents overmodulation and allows
the announcement to be heard over the beacon Morse code IDENT tones. It also signals the Controller /Monitor
which in turn temporarily suspends Modulation Alarms since the IDENT tone level is dropped below the alarm
threshold.

2.5.1 Filter/Bridge PCB
SLP10002 - The Filter/Bridge PCB
The Filter/Bridge includes a broadband toroidal impedance transformer, a seven pole Butterworth low pass
filter, a broadband RF power bridge, modulation envelope detector and associated level sampling and fault latching
circuitry.
The Impedance transformer receives as input the RF Power Amplifiers Class D output and impedance matches it to
the 50Ohm Butterworth Low Pass Filter, which is configured for optimum characteristics via simple jumpers for the
frequency band in use. The sinusoidal 50Ohm output of the Filter is Fed then fed through the RF power bridge which
reports readings of Forward and Reflected RF Power to the Controller / Monitor. The Controller / Monitor then
normalizes and calibrates the power curve and calculates SWR. Fault latches are also set up to report High reflected
power or RF over-current conditions for immediate action via a fault interrupt structure. A sample of the final RF
output envelope is detected and sent back to the Controller / Monitor where other circuitry derives Vmax/Vmin
information for modulation percentage calculation via Controller / Monitor firmware.

Note: The SD 250 is a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) based microprocessor controlled transmitter
operating class D through broadband Butterworth filters. The system is quite adjustment free because of
this , however there are checkpoints that should be verified with Calibrated test equipment to ensure
proper operation.
8.3.5 Note that DC Voltage, DC Current and Antenna Current readings are not shown. They are
signals fed in from external sources and are optional. They must be with their own separate
documentation.
8.3.6 Modulation, Forward Power, Reflected Power and VSWR fields will have arbitrary values at
this time. This is normal
8.4 Frequency checks
8.4.1 Connect a calibrated frequency counter to TP10 on the front of the RF Power Amplifier
(SLP10001). This signal is the RF output from the Controller/Monitor DDS.
8.4.2 Verify that the frequency reads the site frequency ± 100 parts per million or in the case of the
screen shown, 320,000 ± 32 Hz . Note: Regulations state 100 PPM is allowed if the Power is
less than 200 watts, therefore to calculate the maximum deviation the formula would be as
follows: (Operating Frequency / 1,000,000) X 100
8.4.3 If the frequency is not in tolerance calibration must be run as follows.

Note:Normally the DDS section is extremely accurate (± 3Hz) by itself. However a correction
coefficient based on precision test equipment is generated at the factory and stored in the Controller /
Monitor boards NVRAM. This Number is used to control the DDS output and will correct the
frequency further. At the same time the on board frequency counter is also corrected to bring the test
equipment , the output and the input into agreement. The Calibration routine should only be run if a
component of the system needs replacement or if precision test equipment indicates the system is out
of tolerance.
8.4.4 Click on Setup (see section 7.3) then click on Calibration opening the Frequency / Power /
Modulation calibration window. NEED NEW WINDOW BELOW WHICH ADDS

8.4.6 Click on Monitor and wait until the reading in the Local Read window stabilizes (about 10
seconds)
8.4.7 A choice is now available as to the method of calibration. If Auto is clicked The controller /
monitor will recalibrate the output frequency based on its own internal counter which itself is
corrected at the factory. If Manual is selected the frequency as read by precision external
equipment must be input and the correction will be based on that . (we will use the latter here.)

8.5.4 Verify the power output level agrees with the PC levels with the Scope using the formula P =
(Vpp÷2.828)² / RDUMMY LOAD (a direct reading calibrated power meter is also suitable). The
tolerance is the same as a portable Bird wattmeter, 5%
8.5.5 Increase power in 5 or 10 watt steps up to the maximum allowable power verifying the power
read on the test equipment agrees with the PC readout to a 5% tolerance.

5%
8.7.5 On the PC, adjust the Modulation level down to 50%
8.7.6 Read on the Scope measuring the valley and peak of the envelope. Using the formula
Mod% = (Vmax-Vmin) / (Vmax+Vmin) compute the actual modulation.
8.7.7 Verify the set modulation and the observed modulation% agree to within 5%
8.7.8 If the Modulation does not track between these two points a calibration must be performed.

4.3.1 PA POWER SUPPLY ALIGNMENT (PAPS)
Safety Note: Dangerous voltages are present on this PCB during power on tests. Be very careful when working on
this board. When power is removed dangerous voltage will still be present on the HV cap bank. A built in HV
Bleeder on the mother board will discharge the HV cap bank in about 30 seconds. Red LED DS1 will be on if power
is present. Another LED on the mother board will also indicate HV presence. Verify this with a meter check at either
end of R69 until you are personally confident the bleeder circuit and associated indicators are operating correctly.
Note: To be able to successfully complete this alignment without using special loading fixtures we rely on a normal
load being presented to the supply by the RF Power Amplifier PCB and Filter PCB. Therefore it is important that
those PCBs be aligned and in good working order.
1.0 PRELIMINARY CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS
1.1 Verify that all ac and dc power switches are turned off .
1.2 Connect a PC to the Controller / Monitor local port with an RS232 null modem cable.
1.3 Turn the PC on and Load and Run the Controller / Monitor user Software supplied with the System
1.4 Remove the RF power amplifier PCB which removes the load from the PAPS
1.5 Remove the PAPS PCB and place it on the extender fixture.
1.6 Adjust R32,R38,R15, R41, R43, R48 and R66 fully clockwise (CW)
1.7 Adjust R4, R7, and R40 fully counterclockwise (CCW)
1.8 Adjust R45 and R46 for middle range
1.9 Toggle the Manual HV switch S3 to the OFF position (actuator thrown toward the front of the PCB)
1.10 Move jumper JP1 to 3-4 (lower position) enabling local power control
2.0 DC CONTROLLER SECTION LOW VOLTAGE ALIGNMENT
2.1 Turn the main power AC switch on. . Caution! Input HV is on!
2.2 Turn the AC distribution switch for Transmitter 1 or Transmitter 2 on depending on where the extender is
being used.
2.3 Verify the presence of +50vdc on TP1 of the RF motherboard in use.
2.4 Adjust R43 for 12.00 ±0.1 vdc at TP11
2.5 Adjust R48 for 12.00 ±0.1vdc at TP13
2.6 Press the manual reset buttons S1 and S2
2.7 Adjust r4 for 4.00 ±0.01vdc at TP1
2.8 Initially adjust R7 for approximately 2.7vdc at TP5
2.9 Scope TP2 and further adjust R7 until an approximate 50% duty cycle 75khz square-wave is seen. A loose
feel to the adjustment is normal since HV feedback which stabilizes the signal is not yet present.
2.10 Read TP2 with a calibrated frequency counter and adjust R20 for 75 kHz ±500 Hz. Note that this
frequency is not critical but is optimum for the inductor used in the buck converter.

2.11 Connect channel 2 of the scope to TP3 and verify that the two signals are 180 degrees out of phase and
have approximately 250 nano-seconds dead time between them. Dead time is here defined as that period
when both signals are low at the transition point between one being high and the other being low.
2.12 Connect scope channel 1 and 2 to the gates of Q1 and Q2 and verify the 75khz signals are 180 degrees out
of phase.
2.13 Important! Adjust R7 fully CCW
3.0 DC-DC CONVERTER LOW VOLTAGE ALIGNMENT
3.1 Scope TP12 and adjust R45 for 75kHz ±500Hz . Then adjust R46 for 50% duty cycle.
3.2 Scope The Gates of Q4 and Q5 and readjust R46 until the 75 kHz signal is at a 50% duty cycle. Some
readjustment between R45 and R46 may be necessary.
3.3 Remove the scope leads
3.4 Adjust R57 until TP16 is at 2.50 ±0.01VDC . This sets the DC-DC HV shut down level to 250V or more.
Built in hysteresis will cause the supply to slowly discharge to 220VDC and again turn on if no current is
being drawn by the RF Power Amplifier.
3.5 Meter TP14 and adjust R66 for 3.75 ±.01 VDC This sets the DC-DC over-current shut down point
equivalent to 250W @125% Modulation. This setting is good for all power ranges.
4.1 Adjust R82 for 1.30 volts at TP17. This sets the inrush limiter to drop out at 130 Volts
4.2 Using the manual HV switch S3 turn on High Voltage. Be Aware of any unusual behavior and be ready to
shut off main power.
4.3 Relay K1 will be heard activating immediately followed by K2 a short time later. This is the inrush
sequence. The first time HV is turned on, two (2) distinct relay closures should be heard as the HV caps
charge up. If the Cap bank is already charged both relays will pull in simultaneously. Verify that DS1
illuminates as well as the LED on the mother board.
Note: It is important to realize that the HV ON/OFF switch does not bleed off the HV cap bank. The bleeder turns on
only when 50V turns off. This means AC and DC power must both be removed.
4.4 Verify 250VDC at TP2 on the RF Motherboard.
4.5 Meter TP6 And slowly Adjust R7 (power output calibration control) observing the voltage gradually
increasing.
4.6 Depending on the maximum power the transmitter will be operating at continue to adjust R7 until the
nominal output DC voltage for that power is reached as listed below:

5 ANTENNAS:
The range of a beacon and antenna depends on many variables and cannot be guaranteed. The
field strength can be calculated if the ground conductivity is known, but the field strength needed
depends on the background environmental noise which depends on location. A field strength of
70V/m is generally adequate in the United States and Europe but may not be sufficient in latitudes
between 30N and 30S. Range figures given in the following sections are based on average ground
conductivity and a field strength of 70V/m.
The resistance of the antenna is dependent on many conditions over which the manufacturer has
no control. The ground condition, for example, is extremely important. In a high conductivity
ground region, the resistance will be fairly low. This is especially true on offshore oil rigs where
the ground system consists of a large metal structure over salt water. On the other hand, if the
ground conductivity is low, the resistance can become quite large. For example, permafrost in
Alaska generally makes a very poor ground and in most cases a special counterpoise system must
be used. Without a special counterpoise system, the antenna resistance may be as high as 50
ohms and the antenna efficiency will be very low.
THE MAST ANTENNA, "H" ANTENNA, AND 50-FOOT GUYED MAST ANTENNA ARE
HIGH Q, NARROW BANDWIDTH ANTENNAS. THEY SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR
VOICE MODULATION. THE SYMMETRICAL "T" ANTENNA IS THE ONLY ANTENNA
RECOMMENDED FOR VOICE MODUATION.
The Mast Antenna is a short vertical monopole with capacitive top loading and inductive center
loading. It was designed for use where space is severely limited such as on offshore structures. It
is centerloaded to be resonant at approximately 500 KHz for operation between l90 and 415 KHz
and at approximately 900 KHz for operation between 415 and 625 KHz. Tuning below the resonant frequency is accomplished with the antenna coupler. There are two versions of this antenna;
one designed to be mounted on land, the other on drilling platforms or ships. Neither antenna
requires guying. A capacitive hat at the top of the 34-foot Mast Antenna consists of six 8-foot
radials. These can be shortened if necessary for clearance on drilling platforms. The counterpoise system used for land installations consists of sixteen 60-foot radials made of #10 copper
wire with 6-foot ground rods at each end and one in the center. The offshore version of the Mast
Antenna uses the platform structure and the water for the ground system.
The range with the Mast Antenna and this transmitter depends on ground condition, frequency,
the ADF, and atmospheric noise which in turn depends on location and time. Range for most
locations in the United States with one of the lower priced ADF's is from 50 to 70 miles for frequencies above 250 KHz except over low conductivity ground. SAC does not recommend this

5.1 Mast Antenna
antenna for land installations at frequencies below 250 KHz. The "T" Antenna is far superior at
all frequencies and should be used whenever space permits. The 50-foot Guyed Mast is recommended for land installations where the "T" cannot be used. Calculated range over sea water with
the Mast Antenna and this transmitter is 40 miles at 200 KHz, increasing to 100 miles at 400 KHz.
Ideally, this antenna should be in a clear area; however, this is very seldom feasible on offshore
structures. Large obstacles close to the antenna will affect the directional properties and the tuning of the antenna. If possible, the antenna should be installed with a clear area in the direction of
the most traffic.
The Mast Antenna is electrically very similar to a 200 pF capacitor in series with a small resistor.
See the figure at the end of this section for a plot of the capacitive reactance.
5.2 "H" Antenna
The "H" Antenna is used on the helipad of offshore structures where there is no clear area to
install the Mast Antenna. It is a wire structure that is installed on the perimeter of the helipad.
The transmitter is mounted directly beneath it so that the vertical portion of the antenna is the offshore structure itself. Electrical characteristics vary, depending mostly on the size of the helipad
but are generally similar to the Mast Antenna. Range is also comparable with the Mast in most
cases.
5.3 50-Foot Guyed Mast Antenna
This antenna is a guyed vertical monopole with capacitive top loading that was designed for land
installations where space is limited. The capacitive top hat consists of six 8-foot radials. The
counterpoise system consists of sixteen 60-foot radials made of #10 copper wire with 6-foot
ground rods at each end and one in the center. The antenna is guyed at the top and center.
The calculated range with the Guyed Mast Antenna exceeds the Mast Antenna but is less than the
"T" Antenna under the same conditions. This antenna is recommended for land installation where
space does not permit use of the "T" Antenna.
The Guyed Mast Antenna is electrically very similar to a 300 pF capacitor in series with a small
resistor. See the figure at the end of this section for a plot of the capacitive reactance.
5.4 Symmetrical "T" Antenna
The Symmetrical "T" Antenna is recommended if sufficient land is available. This antenna
requires a plot of ground approximately 150 feet by 350 feet.

The calculated range with the "T" Antenna and this transmitter for most locations in the United
States and with one of the lower priced ADF's is from 80 to 100 miles except over low conductivity ground.
These range figures are for the standard "T" Antenna with a height of 55 to 60 feet. A long range
"T" Antenna with a height of 80 to 85 feet has a range of 100 to 120 miles. If even more range is
desired, SAC can supply "T" Antennas with heights up to 200 feet.
The standard "T" is electrically very similar to a 1000 pF capacitor in series with a small resistor.
See the fiqure at the end of this section for a plot of the capacitive reactance.
