Assembly (1301938; Appendix B)
(full off) and 105% (full power plus). A
front panel IF Processor module
potentiometer sets the upper limit of RF
power at 120%. The system's Control
Monitoring board compares the RF
Power Monitoring module RF power level
with the desired level and uses the IF
Power Control PWM line to correct for
errors.
In digital systems, a digital level control
(DLC) voltage is generated on the IF
Processor module and sent to an
external digital modulator (DT1C or
DT2B). RF power control is
implemented by changing the DLC
voltage provided to the external digital
modulator. The 'RF High' potentiometer
sets the upper adjusted range of RF
control circuit output to 120%.
The (A3) IF Processor Assembly contains
the IF Processor Board (1301977). The IF
Processor provides pre-correction to
ensure broadcast quality output signal.
The pre-correction consists of amplitude
linearity correction, Incidental Carrier
Phase Modulation (ICPM) correction and
frequency response correction.
The IF Processor module provides a
reference ALC voltage to the system's
Upconverter. When the ALC voltage
decreases, the Upconverter
automatically lowers the system output
power through the AGC circuits.
The IF Processor module has a front
panel switch to select Auto or Manual
ALC. When Manual ALC is selected, the
reference ALC voltage is set by a front
panel potentiometer. In this condition,
the RF power level control circuit is
removed from use. When the ALC select
switch is changed to Auto, the RF power
level control circuit will start at low
power and increase the RF output until
the desired output power is attained.
The IF Processor module is configured
either for an analog or digital system.
Pin 13C of the IF Processor module is
grounded in analog systems and left not
connected in digital systems. An IF
Processor Interlock signal is used to
report the presence of the IF Processor
module to the Control Monitoring board.
If the IF Processor interlock signal is not
present, the Pioneer 100 Watt
Translator/Exciter Driver RF output is
Muted (turned off). If an analog IF
Processor module is installed and the
Modulation Present signal is not true,
the Pioneer 100 Watt Translator /
Exciter Driver output is Muted (turned
off).
The IF Processor module Modulation
Present signal is monitored. If the
modulation level is too low or nonexistent, a Modulation Present fault is
reported to the Control Monitoring
board. When the controller detects this
fault, it can be set to Automatically Mute
the translator or in Manual mode the
translator will continue to operate at
25% output.
The Control & Monitoring/Power Supply
module uses the IF Processor module for
System output power control. Through
the front panel display or a remote
interface, an operator can set the
translator's RF output power. The range
of RF power adjustment is between 0%

detects an Input Signal fault it
automatically Mutes the translator. The
system controller does not Mute on an
IF Processor Input fault.

2.1.3 (A5) LO/Upconverter Module
Assembly, Digital (1301954;
Appendix B)
Upconverter module potentiometer.
When an over-drive condition is
detected, the Upconverter module
reduces its RF output level. For values
less than 0.9 VDC, the Upconverter uses
the AGC #1 voltage for automatic gain
control by setting it's RF output to
maintain AGC #1 equal to the AGC
voltage set by another front panel
potentiometer. When the Upconverter is
set for manual gain, the RF output of the
Upconverter is set by the front panel
AGC potentiometer. In manual gain
operation, the AGC #1 feedback voltage
from the PA is not used to adjust the RF
level unless an over-drive condition is
detected.
AGC #2 is provided by each of the
optional external amplifier modules.
Diodes are used in each of the external
amplifier forward power circuits to
capture the highest detected sample
voltage. This voltage is used by the
Upconverter to maintain a constant RF
output of the system. As with AGC #1,
the Upconverter module reduces its RF
output level if AGC #2 is too high. AGC
#1 and ACG #2 are diode ORed together
in the Upconverter gain circuit. Both
AGC voltages are first reduced by an onboard potentiometer before being
amplified. If an over-drive condition
does not exist, the higher of the two
AGC voltages is used to control the
Upconverter gain circuit.
The (A5) LO/Upconverter Module
Assembly contains a front panel LED
display board (1303033), a UHF Filter
(1007-1101), a UHF Generator Board
(1585-1265) and a LO/Upconverter
Assembly (1303039). The
LO/Upconverter Assembly contains the
LO/Upconverter Board (1302132).
The Pioneer Upconverter converts an IF
input signal to a RF output signal on the
desired channel frequency using a high
stability oven controlled oscillator with
very low phase noise and an Automatic
Level Control (ALC) for stable output
signal level.
An AFC Voltage is generated to control
the VCXO of the UHF Generator portion
of the Upconverter module. The typical
AFC voltage is 1.5 VDC but it can be as
high as +5 VDC.
Several control voltages are used for
translator power control. Automatic
gain control (AGC) circuits set the RF
output level of the translator system.
The Upconverter can operate on either
it's internal 10 MHz source or on a 10
MHz external reference signal. When an
external 10 MHz source is present on
J10, it is automatically selected. An
external reference present signal is
provided to the controller for display
purposes. The selected 10 MHz signal
from the Upconverter is buffered then
sent to the backplane on two ports. One
AGC #1 is provided by the 50 Watt
Translator/Exciter Driver Power Amplifier
module. This voltage is used by the
Upconverter to maintain a constant RF
output level at the Power Amplifier
module output. If this voltage exceeds
0.9 VDC, the system is in an over-drive
condition. The 0.9 VDC over-driver
threshold is set by a front panel

/ 5 kHz. The maximum LO frequency
setting with these parameters is
1310.715 MHz.
Example:
A National Semiconductor frequency
synthesizer IC is used in the frequency
conversion of the IF signal to a RF
signal. The frequency synthesizer IC
uses a 10MHz reference frequency for
signal conversion. Typically the IF input
frequency is 45.75 MHz for analog
system and 44 MHz for DTV. To obtain
different output RF frequencies, the
synthesizer IC is serial programmed by
the Control Monitoring board. The part
is programmed to use a 5 kHz phase
detection frequency. With a 10 MHz
input signal, the R counter is set to
2000. With these settings the N counter
is set to the desired LO frequency in kHz
For a Frequency RF Out = 517.125 MHz,
N = 517125 kHz / 5 kHz = 103425
An Upconverter PLL Lock indicator is
used to insure that the frequency control
circuits are operating properly. When
the Upconverter PLL is locked, the
frequency synthesizer IC is programmed
and the Power Amplifier module(s) can
be enabled.
The RF output of the LO/Upconverter
Module is at J23 on the rear chassis.

The 50 Watt Translator/Exciter Driver
Power Amplifier module and any
External Amplifier modules contain the
same control and monitoring board.
This board monitors RF output power,
RF reflected power, the current draw of
amplifier sections, the supply voltage,
and the temperature of the PA heat sink.
The RF power detector circuit outputs
vary with operating frequency. These
circuits must be calibrated at their
intended operating frequency. Front
panel adjustment potentiometers are
used to calibrate the following:

The (A6) Power Amplifier Module
Assembly is made up of a Coupler Board
Assembly (1301949), an Amplifier
Control Board (1301962), a 1 Watt
Module Assembly (1302891), a TFS 40W
UHF Module (1206693) and a RF Module
Pallet, Philips (1300116).
In analog systems, the Aural power of
an Exciter Driver Power Amplifier and
the Aural power of any external
amplifier will not be reported by the
system Control Monitoring module.
Additionally the Visual power of these
amplifiers, is reported as Forward Power
just like in digital systems. In analog
systems, aural and visual power will only
be reported for the final system RF
output.
The Power Amplifier Module contains
Broadband LDMOS amplifiers that cover
the entire UHF band with no tuning
required. They amplify the RF to the
10W to 50W output power level of the
translator.
The Power Amplifier of the
Translator/Exciter Driver is used to
amplify the RF output of the
Upconverter module. A cable, located on
the rear chassis, connects the RF output
from the LO/Upconverter at J23 to J24
the RF input to the PA Assembly. This
module contains RF monitoring circuitry
for both an analog and a digital system.
Control and monitoring lines to the

2.2.1 Front Panel Display Screen
2.3.1 Principles of Operation
A 4 x 20 display located on the front of
the Control & Monitoring/Power Supply
Module is used in the Pioneer translator
for control of the operation and display
of the operating parameters of the
translator.
Operating Modes
This translator is either operating or in
standby mode. The sections below
discuss the characteristics of each of
these modes.
Operate Mode
2.3 System Operation
When the translator is in operate, as set
by the menu screen located on the
Control & Monitoring Module. The IF
Processor will be enabled, the mute
indicator on the front panel will be
extinguished. The +32 VDC stage of the
Power Supply in the Control & Monitoring
Module is enabled, the operate indicator
on the front panel is lit and the DC OK on
the front panel should also be green.
The enable and DC OK indicators on the
PA Module will also be turned to green.
Operate mode is the normal mode for
the translator when it is providing RF
power output. To provide RF power to
the output, the translator will not be in
mute. Mute is a special case of the
operate mode where the power supply's
+32 VDC section is enabled but there is
no RF output power, because of a fault
condition that causes the firmware to
hold the IF Processor module in a mute
state.
Operate Mode with Mute Condition
When the translator is in standby. The IF
Processor will be disabled, the mute
indicator on the front panel will be red.
The +32 VDC stage of the Power Supply
in the Control & Monitoring Module is
disabled, the operate indicator on the
front panel will be extinguished and the
DC OK on the front panel should remain
green. The enable and indicator on the
PA Module is also extinguished.
The translator will remain in operate
mode but will be placed in mute when
the following fault conditions exists in
the translator.
If the translator does not switch to
Operate when the operate menu is
switched to Operate, check that all faults
are cleared and that the remote control
terminal block stand-by signal is not
active.
Entering Operate Mode
The translator can be controlled by the
presence of the modulated input signal.
If the input signal to the translator is lost,
the translator will automatically cutback
and the input fault indicator on the IF
Processor module will light. When the
video input signal returns, the translator
will automatically return to full power and
the input fault indicator will be
extinguished.

listed above.
Power Amplifier Interlock is high
indicating that the amplifier is not

Operating Frequency
The Pioneer translator controller is
designed to operate on UHF and VHF
frequencies. The exact output frequency
of the translator can be set to one of the
standard UHF or VHF frequencies, or it
can be set to a custom frequency using
software set-up menus. Since RF
performance of the translator requires
different hardware for different
frequency bands, not all frequency
configurations are valid for a specific
translator. Power detectors have
frequency dependency, therefore
detectors of power amplifiers are
calibrated at their frequency of use. The
detectors for System RF monitoring are
also calibrated at the desired frequency
of use.
Standby Mode
The standby mode in the translator
indicates that the translator’s output
amplifier is disabled.
Entering Standby Mode
Similar to the operate mode, the
standby mode is entered various
different ways. These are:

Signal Type/Description
Discrete Open Collector Output - A low indicates that
the translator is in the operate mode.
Discrete Open Collector Output - A low indicated the
translator is OK or completes a interlock daisy chain.
When the translator is not faulted, the interlock
circuit is completed.
Ground - Configurable ground return which can be
either jumpered directly to ground or it can be the
“source” pin of an FET so that the translator
interlock can be daisy chained with other translators.
This signal does not directly interface to the
microcontroller.
Discrete Open Collector Inputs, Discrete Open Drain
Outputs, or 0 - 5 VDC Analog Input - When used as
an output, this line is pulled to +5 VDC with a 1.0
kΩ resistor for logic high and pulled to ground for a
low. A diode allows this line to be pulled up to 12
VDC. When used as a digital input, this line
considers all values over 2 Volts as high and those
under 1 volt as low. As an analog input, this line is
protected by a 5.1 zener diode.
Discrete Open Collector Input - A pull down to
ground on this line indicates that the translator is to
be placed into the operate mode.
Discrete Open Collector Input - A pull down to
ground on this line indicates that the translator is to
be placed into the standby mode.
Discrete Open Collector Input - A pull down to
ground on this line indicates that the translator
power is to be raised.
Discrete Open Collector Input - A pull down to
ground on this line indicates that the translator
power is to be lowered.
Analog Output - 0 to 4.0 V- This is a buffered loop
through of the calibrated “System Reflected Power ”
and indicates the translator's reflected output power.
The scale factor is 25 % / 3.2V.
Analog Output - 0 to 4.0 V- This is a buffered loop
through of the calibrated “System Visual/Avg. Power
”. Indicates the translator's Visual / Average power.
Scale factor is 100 % / 3.2V.
Analog Output - 0 to 4.0 V- This is a buffered loop
through of the calibrated “System Aural Power ”.
Indicates the translator's forward Aural output
power. The scale factor is 100 % / 3.2V.
Remote connection to spare module - Use is TBD.
