Section 1—Getting Acquainted

This section provides a general description of the FM30, FM100,and FM250 transmitters and introduces you to safety conventionsused within this document. Review this material before installingor operating the transmitter.

IINFORMATION

1–2 FM30/FM100/FM250 User's Manual

I1.1 Your TransmitterThe FM30, FM100, and FM250 are members of a family of FM stereo broadcasttransmitters. Crown transmitters are known for their integration, ease-of-use, andreliability.

The integration is most apparent in the standard transmitter configuration whichincorporates audio processing, stereo generation, and RF amplification withoutcompromised signal quality. A single Crown transmitter can replace several piecesof equipment in a traditional system.

Ease-of-use is apparent in the user-friendly front panel interface and in the instal-lation procedure. Simply select your operating frequency (using 4 internalswitches), add an audio source, attach an antenna, and connect AC or DC powerand you're ready to broadcast. Of course, the FM series of transmitters also featuremore sophisticated inputs and monitoring connections if needed.

Reliability is a Crown tradition. The first Crown transmitters were designed forrigors of worldwide and potentially portable use. The modular design, qualitycomponents, engineering approach, and high production standards ensure stableperformance.

Remote control and metering of the transmitter is made possible through a built-in I/O port. For more direct monitoring, the front panel includes a digital multi-meter display and status indicators. Automatic control circuitry provides protec-tion for high VSWR as well as high current, voltage, and temperature conditions.

Illustration 1–1 FM250 Stereo Broadcast Transmitter

This manual describes the FM30, FM100, and FM250 because all three transmit-ters share common design factors. Specific product differences are noted through-out the manual. In physical appearance, the FM30 differs from the FM100 andFM250 in that it lacks the power amplifier and cooling fan assembly on the backpanel.


FM250®

1.2 Applications and OptionsCrown transmitters are designed for versatility in applications. They have been usedas stand-alone and backup transmitters and in booster, translator, satellator, andnearcast applications. The following discussion describes these applications further.

Model numbers describe the configuration of the product (which has to do with itsintended purpose) and the RF output power which you can expect.

The number portion of each name represents the maximum RF output power. TheFM250, for example, can generate up to 250 watts of RF output power.

Suffix letters describe the configuration. The FM250T, for example, is the standardor transmitter configuration. Except where specified, this document describes thetransmitter configuration. In this configuration, the product includes the followingcomponents (functions):

audio processor

stereo generator

RF exciter

metering

low-pass filter

I1.2.1 Stand-Alone

In the standard configuration, the FM30, FM100, and FM250 are ideal stand-alonetransmitters. When you add an audio source (monaural, L/R stereo, or compositesignal), an antenna, and AC or DC power, the transmitter becomes a complete FMstereo broadcast station, capable of serving a community.

As stand-alone transmitters, Crown units often replace multiple pieces of equip-ment in a traditional setup (exciter, audio processor, RF amplifier).

1.2.2 Backup

In the standard configuration, Crown transmitters are also used in backup applica-tions. Should your primary transmitter become disabled, you can continue tobroadcast while repairs take place. In addition, the FM transmitters can replacedisabled portions of your existing system including the exciter, audio processor, oramplifier. Transfer switches on each side of the existing and backup transmittersmake the change-over possible with minimal downtime.

The DC operation option of the FM30, FM100, and FM250 make them attractivebackup units for those times when AC power is lost.

1.2.3 Booster

Also in the standard configuration, Crown transmitters have been used as boostertransmitters. Booster applications typically involve certain geographic factorswhich prevent your system from broadcasting to the full coverage area allowable.For example, a mountain range might block your signal to a portion of yourcoverage area. Careful placement of a Crown transmitter, operating on the samefrequency as your primary transmitter, can help you reach full coverage.

1.2.4 Exciter

In addition to the standard configuration, the FM30, FM100, and FM250 areavailable in optional configurations to meet a variety of needs.

An "E" suffix, as in the FM30E, for example, represents an exciter-only configura-tion. In this configuration, the audio processor and stereo generator boards arereplaced with circuitry to bypass their function. The exciter configurations are theleast expensive way to get Crown-quality components into your transmissionsystem.

You might consider the Crown exciter when other portions of your system areperforming satisfactorily and you want to maximize your investment in presentequipment.


1.2.5 Translator

A receiver configuration (FM100R, for example) replaces the audio processor andstereo generator boards with a receiver module. This added feature makes theFM30, FM100, and FM250 ideal for translator service in terrestrial-fed networks.These networks represent a popular and effective way to increase your broadcastingcoverage. Translators, acting as repeater emitters, are necessary links in this chainof events.

Traditionally, network engineers have relied on multiple steps and multiple piecesof equipment to accomplish the task. Others have integrated the translatorfunction (receiver and exciter) to feed an amplifier. Crown, on the other hand,starts with an integrated transmitter and adds a solid-state Receiver Module toform the ideal translator.

Illustration 1–3 Crown's Integrated Translator

This option enables RF in and RF out on any of Crown’s FM series of transmitters.In addition, the module supplies a composite output to the RF exciter portion ofthe transmitter. From here, the signal is brought to full power by the built-inpower amplifier for retransmission. The Receiver Module has been specificallydesigned to handle SCA channel output up to 100 kHz for audio and high-speeddata.

FSK ID programming is built-in to ensure compliance with FCC regulationsregarding the on-air identification of translators. Simply specify the call sign ofthe repeater station when ordering. Should you need to change the location of thetranslator, replacement FSK chips are available. The Receiver Module optionshould be ordered at the time of initial transmitter purchase. However, an optionkit is available for field converting existing Crown units.

In the translator configuration there are differences in the function of the frontpanel, see Section 3 for a description.

I1.2.6 Satellator

One additional option is available for all configurations—an FSK Identifier (FSKIDer). This added feature enables the FM30, FM100, and FM250 to transmit itscall sign or operating frequency in a Morse code style. This option is intended foruse in satellite-fed networks. Transmitters equipped in this fashion are oftenknown as "satellators."

Connect the transmitter to your satellite receiver and the pre-programmed FSKIDer does the rest—shifting the frequency to comply with FCC requirements andin a manner that is unnoticeable to the listener. The FSK IDer module should beordered at the time you order your transmitter, but is available separately (factoryprogrammed for your installation).

Illustration 1–4 Transmitter with FSK IDer Option

Add the FSK IDer option to the exciter configuration for the most economicalsatellator (a composite input signal is required).

1.2.7 Nearcasting

The output power of an FM30 transmitter Can be reduced to a level that couldFunction as a near-cast transmitter. Crown transmitters have been used in thisway for language translation, for rebroadcasting the audio of sporting events withina stadium, and for specialized local radio. The FM30 is the only transmitter that isappropriate for this application.

2–1Installation

Section 2—Installation

This section provides important guidelines for installing your trans-mitter. Review this information carefully for proper installation.

®


2.1 Operating EnvironmentYou can install the FM transmitter in a standard component rack or on a suitablesurface such as a bench or desk. In any case, the area should be as clean and well-ventilated as possible. Always allow for at least 2 cm of clearance under the unit forventilation. If you set the transmitter on a flat surface, install spacers on thebottom cover plate. If you install the transmitter in a rack, provide adequateclearance above and below. Do not locate the transmitter directly above a hot pieceof equipment.

2.2 Power ConnectionsThe FM30, FM100, and FM250 operate on 100, 120, 220, or 240 volts AC (50 or 60Hz; single phase). Each transmitter can operate on DC power as well (28 volts forthe FM30, 36 volts for the FM100, and 62 volts for the FM250). The transmittercan operate on fewer volts DC, but with reduced RF output power (see section 1.2).In addition, the transmitter isolates the AC and DC sources; both can be connectedat the same time to provide battery backup in the event of an AC power failure.

2.2.1 AC Line Voltage SettingTo change the voltage setting, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the power cord if it is attached.

2. Open the cover of the power connector assembly using a small, flat bladescrewdriver. See Illustration 2–1.

3. Insert the screwdriver into the voltage selection slot and remove the drumfrom the assembly.

4. Rotate the drum to select the desired voltage. See Illustration 2–2.

5. Replace the drum and cover and check to see that the correct voltage appearsin the connector window.

6. Connect the AC power cord.

Possible equipment damage!

Before operating the transmitter forthe first time, check for the proper ACline voltage setting and frequencyselection as described in sections 2.2and 2.3.

2.6 Audio Input Connections

Attach audio inputs to the Left and Right XLR connectors on the rear panel. (TheLeft channel audio is used on Mono.) Pin 1 of the XLR connector goes to chassisground. Pins 2 and 3 represent a balanced differential input with an impedance ofabout 50 kΩ. They may be connected to balanced or unbalanced left and rightprogram sources.

The audio input cables should be shielded pairs, whether the source is balanced orunbalanced. For an unbalanced program source, one line (preferably the oneconnecting to pin 3) should be grounded to the shield at the source. Audio willthen connect to the line going to pin 2.

By bringing the audio return line back to the program source, the balanceddifferential input of the transmitter is used to best advantage to minimize noise.This practice is especially helpful if the program lines are fairly long, but is a goodpractice for any distance.

If the program source requires a 600 Ω termination, see the motherboard configuration chart on page 6-14 for the proper configuration of the jumpers.

SCA Inputs

Illustration 2–14 SCA Input Connectors

2.7 SCA Input ConnectionsYou can connect external SCA generators to the SCA In connectors (BNC-type) onthe rear panel. The inputs are intended for the 60 kHz to 99 kHz range, but a lowerfrequency may be used if the transmitter is operated in Mono mode. (The 23 to 53kHz band is used for stereo transmission.) For 7.5 kHz deviation (10%modulation), input of approximately 3.5–volts (peak-to-peak) is required.

2.8 Composite Input ConnectionYou may feed composite stereo (or mono audio) directly to the RF exciter, bypassingthe internal audio processor and stereo generator. To use the Crown transmitter asan RF Exciter only ("E" version or when using the "T" version with compositeinput), it is necessary to use the Composite Input section of the transmitter. Thiswill feed composite stereo (or mono audio) directly to the RF exciter. In the "T"version, this will bypass the internal audio processor and stereo generator.

Input sensitivity is approximately 3.5–volt P-P for 75 kHz deviation.

1. Enable the Composite Input by grounding pin 9 of the Remote I/Oconnector (see Illustration 2–17).

2. Connect the composite signal using the Composite In BNC connector.

2.11 Program Input Fault Time-outYou can enable an automatic turn-off of the carrier in the event of program failure.To enable this option, see illustration 2-17 on page 2-15. The time between programfailure and carrier turn-off is set by a jumper (JP1) on the voltage regulator board(see page 6–17 for board location). Jumper pins 1 and 2 (the two pins closestto the edge of the board) for a delay of approximately 30 seconds; pins 3 and 4 for a2–minute delay; pins 5 and 6 for a 4–minute delay, and pins 7 and 8 for an 8–minute delay.

h. Voltmeter should be reading 0.0.

The remainder of this section describes the functions of the front panel indicatorsand switches.


3.2 Power Switches

3.2.1 DC Breaker

The DC breaker, on the rear panel, must be on (up) for transmitter operation, evenwhen using AC power. Electrically, the DC breaker is located immediately afterdiodes which isolate the DC and AC power supplies.

3.2.2 Power Switch

The main on/off power switch controls both the 120/240 VAC and the DC batterypower input.

3.2.3 Carrier Switch

This switch controls power to the RF amplifiers and supplies a logic high to thevoltage regulator board, which enables the supply for the RF driver. In addition,the Carrier Switch controls the operating voltage needed by the switching powerregulator.

A "Lock Fault" or a low pin 12 (/Carrier Off) on the Remote I/O connector will holdthe carrier off. (See section 2.12.)

3.3 Front Panel Bar-Dot Displays

Bar-dot LEDs show audio input levels, wideband and highband audio gain control,and modulation percentage. Resolution for the gain control and modulation displaysis increased over a conventional bar-graph display using dither enhancement whichmodulates the brightness of the LED to give the effect of a fade from dot to dot. (Seesection 4.7.)

3.3.1 Audio Processor Input

Two vertical, moving-dot displays for the left and right channels indicate the relativeaudio levels, in 3 dB steps, at the input of the audio processor. Under normal operat-ing conditions, the left and right Audio Processor indicators will be active, indicatingthe relative audio input level after the Input Gain switches. During program pauses,the red Low LED will light.

The translator configuration shows relative audio levels from the included receiver.

3.3.2 Highband and Wideband Display

During audio processing, the moving-dot displays indicate the amount of gain controlfor broadband (Wide) and pre-emphasized (High) audio.

As long as program material causes activity of the Wideband green indicators, deter-mined by the program source level and Input Gain switches, the transmitter will befully modulated. (See section 3.4.)

The Wideband indicator shows short-term “syllabic-rate” expansion and gain reduc-tion around a long-term (several seconds) average gain set. In the translator configu-ration, the Wideband indicator also shows relative RF signal strength.

Program material and the setting of the Processing control determine the magnitudeof the short-term expansion and compression (the rapid left and right movement ofthe green light).

High-frequency program content affects the activity of the Highband indicator. With75–µsec pre-emphasis, Highband processing begins at about 2 kHz and increases asthe audio frequency increases. Some programs, especially speech, may show noactivity while some music programs may show a great deal of activity.

3.3.3 Modulation Display

A 10–segment, vertical peak-and-hold, bar graph displays the peak modulation per-centage. A reading of “100” coincides with 75 kHz deviation. The display holdsbriefly (about 0.1 seconds) after the peak. The “Pilot” indicator illuminates when thetransmitter is in the stereo mode.

To verify the actual (or more precise) modulation percentage, connect a certifiedmodulation monitor to the RF monitor jack on the rear panel.


3.4 Input Gain Switches

The “+6 dB” and “+12 dB” slide switches set audio input sensitivity according tothe following table.

Illustration 3–4 Input Gain Switches

Find, experimentally, the combination of Input Gain switch settings that will bringthe Wideband gain-reduction indicator to mid scale for “normal” level programmaterial. The audio processor will accommodate a fairly wide range of input levelswith no degradation of audio quality.

3.5 Processing Control

Two factors contribute to the setting of the Processing control: program materialand personal taste. For most program material, a setting in the range of 40 to 70provides good program density. For the classical music purist, who might preferpreservation of music dynamics over density, 10 to 40 is a good range. The audiowill be heavily processed in the 70 to 100 range.

If the program source is already well processed, as might be the case with a satel-lite feed, set the Processing to “0” or “10”.

3.6 Stereo-Mono Switch

The Stereo-Mono slide switch selects the transmission mode. In Mono, feed audioonly to the left channel. Although right-channel audio will not be heard as audiomodulation, it will affect the audio processing.

3.7 RF Output Control

Set this control for the desired output power level. Preferably, set the power withan external RF wattmeter connected in the coaxial line to the antenna. You mayalso use the RF power reading on the digital multimeter.

The control sets the RF output voltage. Actual RF output power varies as theapproximate square of the relative setting of the control. For example, a setting of“50” is approximately 1/4 full power.

3.8 Digital Multimeter

The four-digit numeric display in the center of the front panel provides informa-tion on transmitter operation. Use the “Up” and “down” push-buttons to selectone of the following parameters. A green LED indicates the one selected.

Illustration 3–5 Digital Multimeter

RF Power—Actually reads RF voltage squared, so the accuracy can be affected byVSWR (RF voltage-to-current ratio). See section 5.4 for calibration. Requirescalibration with the RF reflectometer being used.

SWR—Direct reading of the antenna standing-wave ratio (the ratio of the desiredload impedance, 50 ohms, to actual load).

ALC—DC gain control bias used to regulate PA supply voltage. With the PA powersupply at full output voltage, ALC will read about 6.0 volts. When the RF output isbeing regulated by the RF power control circuit, this voltage will be reduced,typically reading 4 to 5.5 volts. The ALC voltage will be reduced during PA DCovercurrent, SWR, or LOCK fault conditions.

Multimeter Multimeter Functions Multimeter Push-buttons


PA DC Volts—Supply voltage of the RF power amplifier.

PA DC Amps—Transistor drain current for the RF power amplifier.

PA DC Temperature—Temperature of the RF power amplifier heatsink in degrees C.

Supply DC Volts—Unregulated DC voltage at the input of the voltage regulators.For battery operation, this reading is the battery voltage minus a diode drop.

Voltmeter—Reads the voltage at a test point located on the front edge of the mother-board. A test lead connected to this point can be used for making voltage measure-ments in the transmitter. The test point is intended as a servicing aid; an alternativeto an external test meter. Remember that the accuracy is only as good as the refer-ence voltage used by the metering circuit. Servicing a fault affected by the refer-ence affects the Voltmeter reading. The metering scale is 0 to 199.9 volts.

In the translator configuration, you can read a relative indication of RF signalstrength numerically in the Voltmeter setting.

3.9 Fault Indicators

Faults are indicated by a blinking red light as follows:

SWR—Load VSWR exceeds 1.5:1. ALC voltage is reduced to limit the reflected RFpower.

Lock—Frequency synthesizer phase-lock loop is unlocked. This indicator normallyblinks for about five seconds at power turn-on. Whenever this light is blinking,supply voltages will be inhibited for the RF driver stage as well as for the RF poweramplifier.

Input—The automatic carrier-off circuit is enabled (see sections 2.11 and 2.12) andthe absence of a program input signal has exceeded the preset time. (The circuittreats white or pink noise as an absence of a program.)

PA DC—Power supply current for the RF power output amplifier is at the presetlimit. ALC voltage has been reduced, reducing the PA supply voltage to hold supplycurrent to the preset limit.

PA Temp—PA heatsink temperature has reached 50° C (122° F) for the FM30 and70° C (158° F)for the FM100 and FM250.

At about 55° C (131°F) for the FM30 or 72°C (162° F) for the FM100 and FM250,ALC voltage begins to decrease, reducing the PA supply voltage to prevent a furtherincrease in temperature. By 60° C (140° F) for the FM30 and 75° C (167° F) for theFM100 and FM250, the PA will be fully cut off. The heatsink fan (models FM100and FM250 only) is proportionally controlled to hold the heatsink at 35° C (95° F).Above this temperature, the fan runs at full speed.

4.1 Part Numbering

As this section refers to individual components, you should be familiar with thepart numbering scheme used. Although parts on the various circuit boards andcircuit board drawings may be marked with identical reference numbers, eachcomponent in the transmitter has a unique part reference number.

The circuit boards and component placement drawings use designators such as“R1”, “R2”, and “C1.” These numbers represent only a portion of the full partnumbers (as shown on the schematic). To find the full number, refer to the chartbelow. R401, for instance, is marked “R1” on the Metering board and on itscomponent placement drawing.

4.2 Audio Processor Circuit Board

The audio processor board provides the audio control functions of a compressor,limiter, and expander. Illustration 6–5 and accompanying schematic may be usefulto you during this discussion.

AudioProcessorBoard

Illustration 4–2 Audio Processor Board

This board also contains the pre-emphasis networks. Reference numbers are for theleft channel. Where there is a right-channel counterpart, references are inparenthesis. One processor circuit, the eighth-order elliptical filter, is located onthe stereo generator board.

Audio input from the XLR connector on the rear panel of the transmitter goes todifferential-input amplifier, U1A (U2A).

Binary data on the +6 dB and +12 dB control lines sets the gain of invertingamplifier U1B (U2B). Analog switch, U3, selects one of four feedback points in 6–dBsteps.

The output of U1B (U2B) goes to an eighth-order, elliptical, switched-capacitor,low-pass, 15.2–kHz filter. The filter finds its home on the stereo generator board totake advantage of the ground plane and proximity to the 1.52 MHz clock.

The circuit associated with U4B (U4A), along with R22/C8 (R58/C20), formthird-order, low-pass filtering, attenuating audio products below 30 Hz.

The output level of analog multiplier U5 (U6) is the product of the audio signal atpin 13 and the DC voltage difference between pins 7 and 9. At full gain (no gainreduction) this difference will be 10 volts DC.

When either the positive or negative peaks of the output of U5 (U6) exceeds thegain-reduction threshold, U13A generates DC bias, producing broadband gainreduction. Q5 is a precision-matched transistor pair. Q5 and U13B form a logconverter, so that a given voltage change produces a given change in gain controldB of U5 (U6). The log conversion ensures uniform level-processing characteristicswell beyond the 20–dB control range. The log conversion has an additional benefit;it allows a display of gain control on a linear scale with even distribution of dB.

Q1 (Q2) is a recover/expansion gate with a threshold about 18 dB below the normalprogram level. The amount of short-term expansion and gain reduction iscontrolled by R650, located on the front panel display board. (See section 3.5.)

Pre-emphasis, in microseconds, is the product of the capacitance of C10 (C22),multiplied by the gain of U8 (U9), times the value of R31 (R67). For a 75–µsecondpre-emphasis, the gain of U8 (U9) will be about 1.11. Select the pre-emphasis curve(75 µsec, 50 µsec, 25 µsec, or Flat) by jumpering the appropriate pins on headerJP1. Use trim pot R29 (R65) to make fine adjustments to the pre-emphasis. (Seesection 5.1.)

For highband processing, the peak output of U10B is detected and gain-reductionbias is generated, as with the broadband processor. The highband processing,however, shifts the pre-emphasis curve rather than affecting overall gain.

Peak audio voltages are compared to a plus and minus 5–volt reference, U17 andU18. This same reference voltage is used by the stereo generator, metering, anddisplay boards.

For an explanation of on-board adjustments see section 5.1.

4.3 Stereo Generator Circuit Board

The stereo generator board (see Illustration 4–3) generates a composite stereo signalfrom left and right-channel audio inputs. The component side of the board ismostly a ground plane. Once again, the eighth-order, 15.2–kHz, elliptical, low-passfilters (U201 and U202) are on this board, but belong to the audio processor.

Illustration 6–6 and accompanying schematic complement this discussion.

U207A and Y201 comprise a 7.6–MHz crystal oscillator from which the 19 and 38–kHz subcarriers are digitally synthesized. U207F is a buffer. The 7.6 MHz is dividedby 5 in U208A to provide 1.52 MHz at pin 6, used by filters U201 and U202. 3.8MHz, 1.9 MHz, and 304 kHz are also derived from dividers in U208.

Exclusive-OR gates, U210A and U210B, provide a stepped approximation of a 38–kHzsine wave—a scheme described in the CMOS Cookbook by Don Lancaster (HowardW. Sams &. Co., Inc., Indianapolis, IN, 1978).

With the resistor ratios used, the synthesized sine wave has very little harmonicenergy below the 7th harmonic. U210C and D generate the 19–kHz pilot subcarrier.U211 is a dual, switched-capacitor filter, configured as second-order, low-pass filters,

each with a Q of 5. The 38 and 19–kHz outputs of pins 1 and 20, respectively, arefairly pure sine waves. Harmonic distortion products are better than 66 dBdown—THD of less than 0.05%.

U212 is a precision, four-quadrant, analog multiplier. The output of U212 is theproduct of 38 kHz applied to the “X” input and the difference of left and rightaudio (L-R signal) applied to the “Y” input. The resulting output is a doublesideband, suppressed carrier—the L-R subcarrier.

The SCA subcarrier, the left, right, and left-minus-right subcarriers, and the 19–kHz pilot subcarrier are combined into the composite stereo signal by summingamplifier U206B.

Analog switch U205, at the input of U206B, provides switching of left and rightaudio for stereo and mono modes. In the mono mode, right channel audio isdisabled, and the left channel audio is increased from 45% modulation to 100%.

MON L and MON R outputs go to the AF Monitor jacks on the rear panel.R208+R210 (R220+R222) and C207 (C211) comprise a 75–µsec de-emphasisnetwork. Processed, de-emphasized (75–µsec) samples of the stereo generatorinput signals are used for a studio monitor and for audio testing. Option jumpersJP203 (JP204) allow you to select 50 µsec.

VR201 and VR202 supply +6 volts and –6 volts, respectively. A 5–volt referencefrom the audio processor board supplies the subcarrier generators.

4.4 RF Exciter Circuit BoardThis board is also known as the Frequency Synthesizer board. The entirecomponent side of the board is a ground plane. Frequency selector switches alongthe front edge of the board establish the operating frequency. The VCO(voltage-controlled oscillator) circuitry is inside an aluminum case.

VCO61 operates at the synthesizer output frequency of 87 MHz to 108 MHz.The frequency is controlled by a voltage applied to pin 8 of the VCO.A sample of the RF comes from A2 and is fed to the PLL chip U6. U304 is a phase-locked-loop frequency synthesizer IC. The 10.24 MHz from thecrystal oscillator is divided to 10 kHz. Internal programmable dividers divide the87 - 108 MHz RF to 10 kHz.

4.5 Metering Circuit Board

The ALC and metering circuitry is on the metering board (see Illustration 4–5).This board processes information for the RF and DC metering, and produces ALC(RF level-control) bias. It also provides reference and input voltages for the digitalpanel meter, voltages for remote metering, fan control, and drive for thefront-panel fault indicators.


PA voltage and current come from a metering shunt on the power regulator board.The PAI input is a current proportional to PA current; R405 converts the currentto voltage used for metering and control. A voltage divider from the PAV line isused for DC voltage metering.

U406A, U406B, and U407A, with their respective diodes, are diode linearitycorrection circuits. Their DC inputs come from diode detectors in the RFreflectometer in the RF low-pass filter compartment.

U407B, U407C, Q405, and Q406 are components of a DC squaring circuit. Sincethe DC output voltage of U407C is proportional to RF voltage squared, it is alsoproportional to RF power.

U404C, U404A, U403A, and U404D are level sensors for RF power, reflected RFpower, PA temperature, and external PA current, respectively. When either ofthese parameters exceeds the limits, the output of U404B will be forced low,reducing the ALC (RF level control) voltage, which, in turn, reduces the PA supplyvoltage.

The DC voltage setpoint for U404A (reflected RF voltage) is one-fifth that of U404C(forward RF voltage). This ratio corresponds to an SWR of 1.5:1 [(1+.2)/(1–.2)=1.5]. The U405 inverters drive the front panel fault indicators.

To get a direct reading of SWR, the reference input of the digital panel meter is fedfrom a voltage proportional to the forward-minus-reflected RF voltage, whileforward-plus-reflected is fed to the digital panel meter input. The panel meterprovides the divide function.

U408 and U409 function as data selectors for the digital panel meter input andreference voltages. Binary select data for U408 and U409 comes from the displayboard.

The output voltage of U403D goes positive when the temperature exceeds about 35degrees C (set by R426) providing proportional fan control (FM100 and FM250).

When the Carrier switch is off or the RF power is less than about 5 watts, the SWRautomatically switches to a calibrate-check mode. U406C provides a voltage thatsimulates forward power, while Q403 shunts any residual DC from the reflected-power source. The result is a simulation of a 1.0 to 1 SWR. (See section 5.4.)

4.6 Motherboard

The motherboard is the large board in the upper chassis interconnecting the audioprocessor, stereo generator, RF exciter, and metering boards. The motherboardprovides the interconnections for these boards, eliminating the need for a wiringharness, and provides input/output filtering.

It also contains the +5.00 volt reference and the composite drive Op amp and itsassociated circuitry.

This board has configuration jumpers associated with diffeent options that can be added at the time of order or at a later time as an upgrade. Options includeFMX-DMS, FMX-RMS, Crown/Omnia DP3, and other standard options.

4.7 Display Circuit Board

The front-panel LEDs, the numeric display, the slide switches, and the processingand RF level controls are mounted on the display circuit board. To access thecomponent side of the board, remove the front panel by removing 12 screws. Theboard contains circuits for the digital panel meter, modulation peak detector, andLED display drivers, as well as indicators and switches mentioned above.


Left and right audio from input stages of the audio processor board (just after theInput Gain attenuator) go to the L VU and R VU input on the display board. Peakrectifiers U601A and U601B drive the left and right Audio Input displays. The LEDdriver gives a 3–dB per step display. The lowest step of the display driver is notused; rather a red LOW indicator lights when audio is below the level of the secondstep. Transistors Q601 and Q602 divert current from the LOW LEDs when anyother LED of the display is lit.

Resolution of the linear displays, High Band, Wide Band, and Modulation, has beenimproved using dither enhancement. With dither, the brightness of the LED iscontrolled by proximity of the input voltage relative to its voltage threshold. Theeffect is a smooth transition from step to step as input voltage is changed. U606A,U606B, and associated components comprise the dither generator. Dither outputis a triangular wave.

Composite stereo (or mono) is full-wave detected by diodes D605 and D606. U607,U613, Q603, and Q604 are components of a peak sample-and-hold circuit.

Oscillator, U609F, supplies a low-frequency square wave to the Fault indicators,causing them to flash on and off.

Digital multimeter inputs are selected with push buttons located to the right ofthe multimeter menu. Signals from the push buttons are conditioned by U609Aand U609B. U610 is an up/down counter. Binary input to U611 from U610 selectsa green menu indicator light, and lights the appropriate decimal point on thenumeric readout. The binary lines also go to analog data selectors on the ALC/metering board.

Processing control, R650, is part of the audio processor. (See section 4.2.)

The DPM IN and DPM REF lines are analog and reference voltage inputs to digitalmultimeter IC U612. They originate from analog data selectors on the ALC/metering board.


4.8 Voltage Regulator Circuit Board

The voltage regulator board is the longer of two boards mounted under the chassistoward the front of the unit. It has switch-mode voltage regulators to provide +12,–12, and 20 volts. It also contains the program detection and automatic carriercontrol circuits.


U703E and U703F convert a 38–kHz sine wave from the stereo generator into asynchronization pulse. In the transmitter, synchronization is not used, thus D709is omitted.

U704 and U705 form a 20–volt switching regulator running at about 35 kHz. U704is used as a pulse-width modulator; U705 is a high-side driver for MOSFET switchQ701. Supply voltage for the two IC’s (approximately 15.5 volts) comes from linearregulator DZ702/Q705. Bootstrap voltage, provided by D710 and C714, allows thegate voltage of Q701 to swing about 15 volts above the source when Q701 is turnedon. Current through the FET is sensed by R738 and R738A. If the voltagebetween pin 5 and 6 of U705 exceeds 0.23 volts on a current fault, drive to Q701 isturned off. Turn-off happens cycle by cycle. The speed of the turn-off is set byC713.

U706 is a switching regulator for both +12 volts and –12 volts. It runs at about 52kHz. Energy for –12 volts is taken from inductor L702 during the off portion ofthe switching cycle. The –12 volts tracks the +12 volts within a few tenths of avolt. There will be no –12 volts until current is drawn from the +12 volts.

Q702, Q703, and Q704 form an active filter and switch, supplying DC voltage tothe RF driver, when the Carrier switch is on.

The program detection circuit is made up of U701 and U702. U701A and U701Dand associated circuitry discriminate between normal program material and whitenoise (such as might be present from a studio-transmitter link during programfailure) or silence. U701A and surrounding components form a band-pass filterwith a Q of 3 tuned to about 5 kHz. U701D is a first-order low-pass filter. Red andgreen LEDs on the board indicate the presence or absence of program determinedby the balance of the detected signals from the two filters. U702 and U701C form acount-down timer. The time between a program fault and shutdown is selected byjumpering pins on header JP701. For times, see section 5.7. The times areproportional to the value of R721 (that is, times can be doubled by doubling thevalue of R721) and are listed in minutes.

4.9 Power Regulator Circuit Board

The power regulator board is the shorter of two boards mounted under the chassistoward the front of the unit. The board has the isolating diode for the batteryinput, the switch-mode voltage regulator for the RF power amplifier, and circuitryfor PA supply current metering.


Diode D804, in series with the battery input, together with the AC-supply diodebridge, provides diode OR-ing of the AC and DC supplies.

U801 and U802 form a switching regulator running at about 35 kHz. U801 is usedas a pulse-width modulator; U802 is a high-side driver for MOSFET switch Q801.Power for the two IC’s comes from the 20–volt supply voltage for the RF driver(available when the Carrier switch is on). The voltage is controlled at 16 volts byzener diode DZ801. Bootstrap voltage provided by D802 and C809 allows the gatevoltage of Q801 to swing about 16 volts above the source when Q801 is turned on.Current through the FET is sensed by R812A and R812B. If the voltage from pin 5to 6 of U802 exceeds 0.23 volts on a current fault, drive to Q801 is turned off. Thishappens on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The speed of the turnoff is set by C805.

U803 and Q802 are used in a circuit to convert the current that flows throughmetering shunt, R819, into a current source at the collector of Q803. Fortymillivolts is developed across R819 for each amp of supply current (.04 ohms x 1amp). Q803 is biased by U803 to produce the same voltage across R816. Thecollector current of Q803 is the same (minus base current) as that flowing throughR822 resulting in 40 microamperes per amp of shunt current. R405 on themetering board converts Q803 collector current to 0.1 volt per amp of shuntcurrent (.04 ma X 2.49 k). (See section 5.4.)

4.10 RF Driver/Amplifier (FM30)

The RF Driver/Amplifier assembly is mounted on a 100 mm x 100 mm plate in theunder side of the chassis. The driver amplifies the approximate 20 milliwatts fromthe frequency synthesizer to 30 watts. An MHW6342T hybrid, high-gain, widebandamplifier, operating at about 20 volts, provides about one watt of drive to a singleBLF245 MOSFET amplifier. The BLF245 stage operates from a supply voltage of28 volts in the FM30.

The circuit board has components for input and output coupling and for powersupply filtering.


4.11 RF Driver (FM100/FM250)

The RF Driver assembly is mounted on a 100 mm x 100 mm plate in the under sideof the chassis. The driver amplifies the approximate 20 milliwatts from thefrequency synthesizer to about 8 watts to drive the RF power amplifier. An MHW6342T hybrid, high-gain, wideband amplifier, operating at about 20 volts, provides about one watt of drive to a single BLF245 MOSFET amplifier. The BLF245 stage operates from a supply voltage of approximately 20 volts.

The circuit board provides for input/output coupling and for power supply filtering.

4.12 RF Amplifier (FM100/FM250)

The RF power amplifier assembly is mounted on back of the chassis with fourscrews, located behind an outer cover plate. Access the connections to the moduleby removing the bottom cover of the unit. The RF connections to the amplifier areBNC for the input and output. Power comes into the module through a 5–pinheader connection next to the RF input jack.

The amplifier is built around a Phillips BLF278, a dual power MOSFET rated for 50volts DC and a maximum power of about 300 watts. When biased for class B, thetransistor has a power gain of about 20 dB. (It is biased below class B in thetransmitter.)

Input transformer, T1111, is made up of two printed circuit boards. The four-turnprimary board is separated from the one-turn secondary by a thin dielectric film.R1112–R1117 are for damping. Trim pot R1111 sets the bias.

Output transformer, T1121, has a one-turn primary on top of the circuit board and atwo-turn secondary underneath. Inductors L1121 and L1122 provide power linefiltering.

4.13 Chassis

The AC power supply components, as well as the bridge rectifier and main filtercapacitor are mounted on the chassis. Switching in the power-entry moduleconfigures the power transformer for 100, 120, 220, or 240 VAC; see section 2.2 forswitching and fuse information. A terminal strip with MOV voltage-surgesuppressors and in-rush current limiters is mounted on the chassis between thepower entry module and the toroidal power transformer.

The main energy-storage/filter capacitor, C1001, is located between the voltage andpower regulator boards. The DC voltage across the capacitor will be 45–55 volts(FM30 and FM100) or 65–70 volts (FM250) when the carrier is on.

4.14 RF Output Filter & Reflectometer

The RF low-pass filter/reflectometer are located in the right-hand compartment onthe top of the chassis. See Illustration 6–14 and accompanying schematic formore information.

A ninth-order, elliptic, low-pass filter attenuates harmonics generated in the poweramplifier. The capacitors for the filter are circuit board pads.

The reflectometer uses printed circuit board traces for micro-strip transmissionlines. Transmission line segments (with an impedance of about 82 ohms) oneither side of a 50–ohm conductor provide sample voltages representative of thesquare root of forward and reverse power.

DC voltages, representative of forward and reflected power, go through a bulkheadfilter board to the motherboard, then to the metering board, where they areprocessed for power control and metering and for SWR metering and protection.

Shock hazard!

Do not attempt to short the capacitorterminals. A bleeder resistor willdischarge the capacitor inapproximately one minute aftershutdown.

4.15 Receiver Circuit Board Option

This option allows the transmitter to be used as a translator. The receiver boardreceives terrestrially fed RF signal and converts it to composite audio which is thenfed into the exciter board. Microprocessor controlled phase lock loop technologyensures the received frequency will not drift, and multiple IF stages ensure highadjacent channel rejection. Refer to illustrations 4–6, 6–16 and its schematic forthe following discussion.

The square shaped metal can located on the left side of the receiver board is thetuner module. The incoming RF signal enters through the BNC connector (topleft corner) and is tuned through the tuner module. Input attenuation is possiblewith jumper J1 on the top left corner of the receiver board. Very strong signalscan be attenuated 20 dB automatically by placing the jumper on the left two pins(“LO” position). An additional 20 dB attenuation is also available with the jumpersin the top left corner of the board. The frequencies are tuned by setting switchesSW1 and SW2 (upper right corner). These two switches are read upon power upby the microprocessor (U4). The microprocessor then tunes the synthesizer ICMC145170 (U3) to the selected frequency. The switches frequency range is 87.9 Mhz at setting “00” to 107.9 Mhz at setting “64”. Other custom ranges are available.

The synthesizer chip works on a phase lock loop system. It receives the frequencyinformation from pin 6 of the tuner module, then goes through a FET bufferamplifier (Q2) on its way to synthesizer IC (U3). The synthesizer feeds back a DCvoltage through two resistors to pin 4 of the tuner module. Different frequenciescause different tuning voltages to go to the tuner module to tune it on frequency.The frequency synthesizer locks on to the exact frequency needed and adjusts theDC voltage accordingly. The microprocessor tunes the frequencies of thesynthesizer IC, but the DC tuning voltage is somewhat dependent on the tunermodule.

Generally, the voltage is around 0.5 volt DC for tuning 88.1 MHz, and from 5.5 to6.5 volts DC for tuning 107.9 MHz. The 10.7 MHz IF frequency comes out of thetuner module on pin 5 and is coupled into the first filter FL1; passes through FL1

and into the IF decoder system of IC LM1865 (U1). The FL1 filter sets thebandwidth or everything outside of the bandwidth depending on the filter that isselected. It could be a bandwidth of 180 kHz where everything outside of that isfiltered out depending on the filter characteristics. A second filter (F3) is availablewhen the signal has a great amount of interference from an adjacent signal. Insuch a case, remove the jumper cap that is in the F3 position, then remove theceramic filter that is in the F4 storage position and place it into the F3 position.

Then the signal goes to a buffer gain stage at pin 1 of LM1865 (U1). From therethe signal passes through F2, which is a second filter for further removal ofunwanted products, and then it goes on to the IF of that chip. The quadrature coilL4 is tuned to 10.7 MHz as per calibration procedures. This results in a lowdistortion of around 0.2 to 0.3% on the audio. The audio, still a composite at thispoint, will come out of pin 15 of that IC (U1) and go to the first buffer U9. Then itgoes through a compensation network R54 and C26, and on to the stereo decoderchip at pin 2 of U5.

When a stereo signal is present, Led 1 illuminates which indicates that left andright audio is available. Then the stereo signals go to gain stages U6A and U6B andout to the RCA jacks on the back of the cabinet. These can be used for off-airmonitoring of the audio signal. Incoming frequency can be monitored from thefrequency monitor BNC jack on the back. The stereo buffer U9, stereo decoder U5,and gain stages U6A and U6B have no effect on the signal that goes through thetransmitter. This section along with the composite signal coming out of pin 15 ofLM1865 (U1) is totally separate from the transmitter section.

A muting circuit, consisting of C22, a 1N914 diode, R14, and varible resistor R15mutes the output when a signal is too weak to be understood. The strength of thesignal muted is determined by the adjustment of R15. Any signal below the settingof R15 is shorted to +VCC through C22 by the current drawn through R14 and thediode. The audio signal above this setting goes through C17 to the connector P3.

The P3 connector block allows jumpering to either internal circuitry or to externalsignal processing such as advertisement injection or other forms of altering thesignal. If the jumper is installed for internal circuitry, the signal will go throughR39 to the input of U2A. This is a buffer that drives the R20 pot located on the topleft hand corner of the board. R20 sets signal gain for 100% modulation ifadjusted correctly with a full incoming 75 kHz deviation signal. Then the signalgoes through R21, R22, and C20 which, along with adjustable pot R24 and C21,forms a compensation network with some phase shifting. This allows the beststereo separation possible by adjusting and compensating for differences in FMexciter boards. The signal is buffered through U2B and finally reaches the outputconnectors P1 and P2, and on to the transmit circuitry.

The power supply is fairly straight forward. The incoming 12 volt supply goes to a7809, 9 volt regulator (VR1) which supplies all 9–volt needs on the board. The 9volts also supplies a 7805, 5 volt regulator (VR2) which supplies all 5–volt needs onthe board. Plus and minus 12 volts from the motherboard is filtered and suppliesvarious needs on the board. Finally there is a precision reference voltage suppliedthrough R50 by U7 and U8. These two 2.5 volt reference shunts act very much likea very accurate zenor diode to provide precision 5 volts to the metering board.

5–1Adjustments and Tests

Section 5—Adjustments and TestsThis section describes procedures for (1) advanced users whomay be interested in customizing or optimizing the performanceof the transmitter and (2) service personnel who want to returnthe transmitter to operational status following a maintenanceprocedure.


5.1 Audio Processor Adjustments

5.1.1 Pre-Emphasis Selection

Select the pre-emphasis curve (75 µsec, 50 µsec, 25 µsec, or Flat) by jumpering theappropriate pins of header JP1 on the audio processor board. (See section 2.9.) Ifyou change the pre-emphasis, change the de-emphasis jumpers, JP203 and JP204on the Stereo Generator board, to match. (See section 2.8.)

5.1.2 Pre-Emphasis Fine Adjustment

Trim potentiometers, R29 and R65, (for left and right channels, respectively)provide for fine adjustment of the pre-emphasis. Set the potentiometers to bringthe de-emphasized gain at 10 kHz equal to that of 400 Hz. (At the proper setting,15.0 kHz will be down about 0.7 dB.)

When making these adjustments, it is important that you keep signal levels belowthe processor gain-control threshold.

A preferred method is to use a precision de-emphasis network in front of the audioinput. Then, use the non-de-emphasized (flat) output from the FM modulationmonitor for measurements.

5.2 Stereo Generator Adjustments

5.2.1 Separation

Feed a 400–Hz sine wave into one channel for at least 70% modulation. Observethe classic single-channel composite stereo waveform at TP301 on the RF Excitercircuit board. Adjust the Separation control for a straight centerline.

Since proper adjustment of this control coincides with best stereo separation, usean FM monitor to make or confirm the adjustment.

5.2.2 Composite Output

You can make adjustments to the composite output in the following manner:

Using a modulation monitor


Using a Modulation Monitor

1. Set the Stereo-Mono switch to Mono.

2. Check that the setting of the Modulation compensation control (see illustra-tion 2–6) on the RF Exciter circuit board, falls within the range specified forthe frequency of operation. (See section 2.3.1.)

3. Feed a sine wave signal of about 2.5 kHz into the left channel at a levelsufficient to put the wideband gain-reduction indicator somewhere in themiddle of its range.

4. Set the Composite level control to produce 90% modulation as indicated onan FM monitor.

5. Apply pink noise or program material to the audio inputs and confirm, onboth Mono and Stereo, that modulation peaks are between 95% and 100%.


5.2.3 19–kHz Level

Adjust the 19–kHz pilot for 9% modulation as indicated on an FM modulationmonitor.

(The composite output should be set first, since it follows the 19–kHz Levelcontrol.)

5.2.4 19–kHz Phase

1. Apply a 400–Hz audio signal to the left channel for at least 70% modulation.

2. Look at the composite stereo signal at TP301 on the RF Exciter circuit boardwith an oscilloscope, expanding the display to view the 19–kHz componenton the horizontal centerline.

3. Switch the audio to the right-channel input. When the 19–kHz Phase isproperly adjusted, the amplitude of the 19–kHz will remain constant whenswitching between left and right.

4. Recheck the separation adjustment as described in section 5.2.1.

5.3 Frequency Synthesizer Adjustments

5.3.1 Frequency (Channel) Selection

Refer to section 2.3.

5.3.2 Modulation Compensator

Refer to section 2.3.

5.3.3 Frequency Measurement and Adjustment

Next to the 10.24–MHz crystal on the RF Exciter board is a 5.5–18 pF ceramictrimmer capacitor (C307). Use C307 to set the frequency of the 10.24–MHz crystalwhile observing the output frequency of the synthesizer.

Use one of two methods for checking frequency:

Use an FM frequency monitor.

Couple a frequency counter of known accuracy to the output of the synthesizerand observe the operating frequency.


5.3.4 FSK Balance Control

An FSK signal (used for automatic identification of FM repeaters) shifts thefrequencies of the 10.24–MHz crystal reference oscillator and the VCO.

Use an oscilloscope to observe the cathode end of D306. With no program, thepulse will be less than 1 µsec wide. With an FSK input (a 20–Hz square wave atthe FSK input will work), set trim pot R345 for minimum pulse width.

The setting will vary slightly with operating frequency.

5.4 Metering Board Adjustments

5.4.1 Power Calibrate

While looking at RF Power on the digital panel meter, set the Power Calibrate trimpotentiometer to agree with an external RF power meter.

5.4.2 Power Set

With the front panel RF Output control fully clockwise, adjust the Power Set trimpot to 10% more than the rated power (33 W for FM30, 110 W for FM100, 275 Wfor FM250) as indicated on an accurate external watt meter. If the authorizedpower is less than the maximum watts, you may use the Power Set to limit therange of the RF Output control.

5.4.3 SWR Calibrate

When the Carrier switch is off, or the RF power is less than about 5 watts, theSWR circuit automatically switches to a calibrate-check mode. (See section 4.5 formore information.)

Set the digital panel meter to read SWR. With the Carrier switch off, set the SWRCAL trim pot to read 1.03.


5.4.4 PA Current Limit

Since it may not be practical to increase the PA current to set the PA CurrentLimit control, you may use this indirect method.

With the carrier turned off, look at the DC voltage at the right end of R413 on theMetering board. The current limit, in amperes, will be 0.35 amps higher than tentimes this voltage. For example, for a current limit of 7.35 amps, adjust the PACurrent Limit control for 0.7 volts at R413 ; or 0.565 volts for 6.0 amps. Set thecurrent limit for 3 amps (FM30), 6 amps (FM100), or 8.5 amps (FM250).

5.5 Motherboard AdjustmentsSee page 6-14 for motherboard jumper configuration.

5.6 Display Modulation Calibration

The Modulation Calibrate trim pot sets the sensitivity of the front panelModulation bar graph display.

This adjustment may be made only after the Output trim pot on the StereoGenerator board has been set. (See section 5.2.4.)

1. Set the Stereo-Mono switch to Mono.

2. Feed a sine wave source of about 2.5 kHz into the left channel at a levelsufficient to put the wideband gain-reduction indicator somewhere in themiddle of its range.

3. Set the Modulation Calibrate trim pot so that the “90” light on the frontpanel Modulation display just begins to light.

5.7 Voltage Regulator Adjustments

JP701, a 10–pin header on the Voltage Regulator board, sets the time betweenprogram failure and carrier turnoff. Pins 1 and 2 are the two pins closest to theedge of the board. The times are approximate. Sections 2.11, 2.12, and 4.8contain further information.

1. Short pins 1 and 2 for a 30–second delay.

2. Short pins 3 and 4 for a 2–minute delay.

3. Short pins 5 and 6 for a 4–minute delay.

4. Short pins 7 and 8 for an 8–minute delay.

You may select other times by changing the value of R721. The time isproportional to the resistance.


5.8 Bias Set (RF Power Amplifier)The Bias Set trim pot is located inside the PA module on the input circuit board.Set the trim pot to its midpoint for near-optimum bias.

5.9 Performance VerificationMeasure the following parameters to receive a comprehensive characterization oftransmitter performance:

Carrier frequency

RF output power

RF bandwidth and RF harmonics (see section 5.12)

Pilot frequency, phase, and modulation percentage

Audio frequency response

Audio distortion

Modulation percentage

FM and AM noise

Stereo separation between left and right

Crosstalk between main channel and subcarrier

38–kHz subcarrier suppression

In addition to the above tests, which pertain to signal quality, a complete check ofthe unit will include items listed in section 5.21.

5.9.1 Audio Proof-of-Performance Measurements

References to “100%” modulation assume 9% pilot and 91% for the remainder ofthe composite stereo signal.

Because the audio processing threshold is at 90% modulation, it is not possible tomake audio proof-of-performance measurements at 100% modulation through theaudio processor. Instead, data is taken at a level below the audio processingthreshold at 80% modulation.

5.9.2 De-emphasis Input Network

A precision de-emphasis network, connected between the test oscillator and theaudio input of the transmitter, can be very helpful when making the audiomeasurements. Note that the input impedance of the transmitter or the sourceimpedance of the test oscillator can affect network accuracy. With the de-emphasisnetwork, oscillator level adjustments need only accommodate gain errors, insteadof the whole pre-emphasis curve.


5.10 Carrier FrequencyCarrier frequency is measured at the output frequency with a frequency monitoror suitable frequency counter.

To adjust frequency, see section 5.3.3. (FCC tolerance +/– 2000 Hz per FCC Part73.1540 and 73.1545.)

5.11 Output PowerThe output power reading on the front panel display should be 90–105% of theactual value. For a more precise measurement, use a watt meter in the RF outputline. See sections 5.4.1 and 5.4.2 for setting power.

5.12 RF Bandwidth and RF HarmonicsYou can observe RF bandwidth and spurious emissions with an RF spectrumanalyzer.

In the Stereo mode, feed a 15.0–kHz audio signal into one channel to provide 85%modulation as indicated on a monitor. Doing so produces 38% main, 38% stereosubcarrier, and 9% pilot per FCC Part 2.1049. As an alternative, use pink noiseinto one channel.

Using a spectrum analyzer, verify the following (per FCC 73.317):

1. Emissions more than 600 kHz from the carrier are at least 43 + 10log(power,in watts) dB down (58 dB for 30 watts, 63 dB for 100 watts, 67 dB for 250watts). The scan should include the tenth harmonic.

2. Emissions between 240 kHz and 600 kHz from the carrier are down at least35 dB.

3. Emissions between 120 kHz and 240 kHz from the carrier are down at least25 dB.

5.13 Pilot FrequencyThe pilot frequency should be within 2 Hz of 19 kHz. (FCC Part 73.322.) Using afrequency counter, measure 1.9 MHz at pin 1 of U209 on the Stereo Generatorboard. A 200–Hz error here corresponds to a 2–Hz error at 19 kHz. If thefrequency is off by more than 50 Hz, you may change the value of C213. (ChangingC213 from 56 pF to 68 pF lowers the 1.9 MHz by about 35 Hz.)


5.14 Audio Frequency ResponseFor the response tests, take the readings from an FM modulation monitor.

Make audio frequency response measurements for left and right channels atfrequencies of 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz. Seesections 5.9.1 and 5.9.2.

5.15 Audio DistortionMake distortion measurements from the de-emphasized output of an FMmodulation monitor.

Make audio distortion measurements for left and right channels at frequencies of50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz. See sections 5.9.1 and5.9.2.

5.16 Modulation PercentageWhile feeding an audio signal into the left channel only, confirm that the totalmodulation percentage remains constant when switching between Mono andStereo.

Measure modulation percentage with an FM modulation monitor.See section 5.2.2.

19–kHz pilot modulation should be 9%.

5.17 FM and AM NoiseTake noise readings from a de-emphasized output of a modulation monitor.

5.18 Stereo SeparationMake left-into-right and right-into-left stereo separation measurements with anFM modulation monitor for frequencies of 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz,10 kHz, and 15 kHz.

5.19 CrosstalkFor stereo crosstalk measurements, both left and right channels are fed at thesame time. For best results, there needs to be a means of correcting smallimbalances in levels and phase. The balance is made at 400 Hz.


5.19.1 Main Channel Into Sub

Feed the left and right channels in phase with audio (L+R) at 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz at 100% modulation, while observing thestereo subcarrier (L-R) level on an FM modulation monitor.

5.19.2 Sub Channel Into Main

Feed the audio into the left and right channel as above, with the exception ofreversing the polarity of the audio of one channel (L-R input). Using thefrequencies of 5.19.1 above, observe the main channel (L+R) level with amodulation monitor.

5.20 38–kHz Subcarrier Suppression

With no modulation, but in the Stereo mode, the 38–kHz subcarrier, as indicatedon an FM modulation monitor, should be down at least 40 dB.

5.21 Additional Checks

In addition to the tests and adjustments mentioned in this section, the followingchecks ensure a complete performance appraisal of the transmitter:

1. Perform a physical inspection, looking for visible damage and checking thatthe chassis hardware and circuit boards are secure.

2. Check the functionality of switches and processing control.

3. Verify that all indicators function.

4. Check the frequency synthesizer lock at 80 MHz and 110 MHz.

5. Measure the AC line current with and without the carrier on.

6. Perform a functional test of the SCA input, Monitor outputs, and the moni-tor and control function at the 15–pin, D-sub connector.

7. Test the functionality of the FSK circuit.

8. Check the operation and timing of the automatic carrier-off circuitry associ-ated with program failure.

9. Check all metering functions.

10. Test ALC action with PA current overload, SWR, and PLL lock.

NOTE:

FCC type acceptance procedures call for testing the carrier frequency over thetemperature range of 0–50 degrees centigrade, and at line voltages from 85% to115% of rating. (See FCC Part 2.1055.)
