    SECTION IVTHEORY OF OPERATION

    4.1 GENERALThe KTR 908 is a single unit, remote mounted communication transceiver. The functional capa-bilities are:

    A. A single conversion VHF receiver with a four pole varactor tuned preselector, MOS-FET RF amplifier, MOS-FET active mixer , 8-pole monolithic crystal filter and integrated circuit IF amplifiers. Automatic noise squelch with carrier operated back-up is used.

    B. A broadband transmitter with flange mounted power transistors is followed by a three section elliptic function type low pass filter.

    C. A power supply consisting of a high efficiency switching regulator with over voltage pr

    otection and current limiting.

    NERAL CIRCUIT THEORYmmunication Receivere received signal passes through part of the transmitter low-pass filter where the nal is switched to the receiver by the T-R diodes. A four pole, varactor tuned pre-lector suppresses the image and spurious signals. A dual-gate MOS-FET RF plifier provides low noise gain and acts as the RF AGC gain control. An active

    OS-FET mixer converts the received signal to the 11.4MHz IF to be filtered by 8 les of monolithic crystal filter. The IF signal is amplified by two integrated circuit plifier stages, each with AGC applied. The transistor detector and squelch con-l gate follows the IF amplifier. Automatic squelch control with manual disable is tained by using a carrier to noise ratio squelch with a carrier level only back-up uelch. The audio low-pass filter for "climax" environments and the audio com-essor follow the squelch circuit. The output audio is amplified to 100 milliwatts o 500 ohms by the integrated circuit amplifier.e voltage controlled oscillator receives DC control information on the line which o carries the VCO frequency to the main board for comparison in the COMM I. The control voltage is low-pass filtered and applied to the varactor for frequen- control. The output from the J-FET VCO is buffered and directed to:

    The LSI on the main board for frequency comparison.The receiver for local oscillator injection.The transmit buffers.

    e transmitter buffer amplifier is controlled by the PTT enable and also by the out lock logic which will disable the transmitter in case of loss of phase-lock.ansmitter/Modulatorhen the PTT is activated the VCO frequency moves 11.4MHz down to the fre-ency displayed in the "USE" window. The transmit buffers are turned on and 20 tts output is obtained. The series-regulator modulator transistor is set to normal-

    provide about half of the supply voltage to the driver and final transistor with no odulation.

    Revision 9, Sept

    Modulation will cause the modulator output to swing nearly to ground and nearly to the supply voltage. The series regulator modulator is driven by an integrated circuit amplifier following the mic audio compressor which is used to maintain a high per-centage of modulation without overmodulating. A three section elliptic function type filter follows the transmitter to suppress harmonics, while a small amount of modulator audio is fed to the audio output for sidetone.

    C. Power SupplyThe 27.5VDC from the aircraft bus is fed to the main board through a fuse and hash filter, then through a transistor switch.A power transistor provides a regulated 12 volts for the modulator, transmitter and audio power amplifier. A switching regulator provides power for the remaining sec-tions.One output of the hash filter is routed to a DC reference regulator, where +5 volts regulated DC is provided. The output of the +10 volt rectifier/filter and the +5 volt regulated reference DC are applied to the error amplifier. The output of the error amfiltA lattothspfilt+1ThpliA cucush

    plifier is a pulse, which is applied to the pulse width modulator through a loop er. The loop filter provides a DC level to the pulse width modulator.15KHz oscillator applies a triangular pulse to the input of the pulse width modu-or. The pulse width modulator generates pulses with pulse width corresponding a DC level existing at its inputs. The switching amplifier pulses the primary of e switching transformer causing a pulsed waveform at the secondary corre-onding to the output of the pulse width modulator. The waveform is rectified and ered at different secondary terminals to provide 185VDC, +5VDC, -26VDC and 0VDC.e output of the +10 volt rectifier and filter is further filtered by a capacitor multi-er/regulator to produce +9VDC.current limiting circuit protects the power transistor amplifier against excessive rrents. When excessive current is sensed through the switching transformer, the rrent limiter forces the pulse width modulator to generate shorter pulses. These ort pulse widths then back down the output power from the power supply.

    Revision 9, Sept

    Varactor diode CR303C tunes the first stage and inductor L307 provides the coupling to the sec-ond pole which is tuned by CR303D. This coupling improves the image rejection in the front end.

    4.3.3 MIXER

    Capacitor C323 couples the desired signal to Gate #1 of the mixer. The mixer Q303 is also a dual gate FET as is the RF amplifier. Both Gate #1 and Gate #2 are biased positive with respect to the source by the same amount. The local oscillator signal is fed into Gate #2 at approximately 1 volt peak-to-peak. The FET provides more than 20dB of isolation between Gate #1 and Gate #2. The drain is tuned to 11.4MHz by T301 which also matches the FET into the 4100 ohm impedance of the crystal filter. The desired signal is now at 11.4MHz due to L.O. being 11.4MHz above the in-coming signal.

    4.3.4 FIRST IF AMPLIFIER

    The crystal filter provides the desired narrow bandpass for the receiver. The signal passes through the crystal filter and is coupled through T302 to the input of I301, the IF amplifier. AGC current is applied to pin 2 and provides approximately 40dB of AGC range. Transformer T303 tunes the collectointo the second IF

Operational am-pares this voltage with the DC reference from R383 and R384, amplifies it, filters iations, inverts it and feeds it back to the 1st and 2nd IF amplifiers. Thus, as the voltage decreases (with an increase in signal level), the AGC voltage increases the gain in the IF amplifier. J9081 pin 17 is provided for easy access to this volt-

    RF AGC is provided for the RF amplifier by I303D and Q315. The RF input level GC begins to take effect is set by resistor R389. The RF AGC voltage can be 81 pin 18. As the IF AGC voltage exceeds the set reference, the RF AGC volt-

    OISE AND CARRIER SQUELCH CIRCUIT

    amplifies the noise from the collector of the detector and limits its amplitude so s (such as ignition noise) will not be higher amplitude than other noise. The out-led to the tuned circuit L314 and C356 which is tuned to approximately 8KHz. detects the noise at 8KHz, that is passed by the filter, amplifies it and feeds it to istor Q320.

  • B KTR 908

    Revision 9, Sept

    Resistor R373 is set so that the detected noise causes the base voltage at Q320 to be low and its collector voltage to be high. Therefore, Q307 is "on" and no emitter current is supplied to the squelch gate of Q306 and no audio signal is allowed to pass (squelch closed).When a signal above squelch threshold is received, the noise output from the detector decreases, thus less noise is being fed to the noise detector Q318. Its collector is allowed to rise until tran-sistor Q320 conducts, decreasing the base voltage of Q307, thus supplying emitter current for the squelch gate Q306 and allowing the received audio to pass (squelch open).Switch S101A on the KFS 598 Control Head is coupled to the volume control shaft to allow the operator to open the squelch gate manually. When the shaft is pulled out, switch S101A closes, shorting the base of the noise detector Q318 towards ground, causing the collector to rise toward the 9 volt supply, which turns on Q320, as described above, which opens the squelch gate to allow the audio signal to pass. Carrier operated or back-up squelch operation is available when the re-ceived signal has a great deal of noise on the carrier, thus the noise detector keeps the squelch gate closed. As the carrier level increases to exceed the reference set by R389, "Carr Sq Adj" and the RF AGC voltage decreases, transistor Q321 turns "off" causing Q320 to turn "on". Again, as the collector of Qaudio to pass.

    The output of the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) Q309 is applied to the COMM SMO digital buffer through capacitor C378 and Q310. Q115 and Q116 are the active components of the buffer that provide signal to the LSI and provide isolation for the VCO. The LSI receives the output of the digital buffer at pin 11, divides the frequency by a divide ratio determined by the serial data bits from the microprocessor in the KFS-598. The output is a variable phase signal.The reference and variable phase signals are compared in a phase comparator internal to I102 with the difference between them resulting in "Up" or "Down" tuning pulses.

    4.3.16.5 Low Pass Filter

    A four section elliptic function low pass filter is placed between the final and the antenna to atten-uate all harmonics which may be generated in the transmitter. During the receive mode, T/R di-odes CR502, CR503 and CR506 are forward biased to feed the desired signal from the antenna through the low pass filter to the receiver RF amplifier.

    4.3.17 MODULATOR

    The microphone audio enters pin 6 of J9081 and routed to the 1K ohm pot R111, which sets the mic level to the Tx-Compressor circuit consisting of Q120, I101A and I101B. The operation of this compressor is basically the same as the Rx-Compressor, see 4.3.11 AUDIO COMPRESSOR. As the output of I101B increases, it turns on Q120 harder shunting more of the mic audio to ground. R120 sets the compressor attack point. The mic audio proceeds from I101A output to the modu-lator driver I107. I107 drives transformer T103 which supplies the audio drive to the modulators Q109 and Q110. The output of the modulators supplies current to the collector of the pre-driver, driver and final in the transmitter chain.

    The posistor (R149) is mounted on the same heatsink as Q108 and connected so that under ex-tremely high temperature operation, the +12 volt line is decreased to reduce the power dissipation in the transmitter and prevent damage to the semiconductors. R225 is used to set the 12 volts higher or lower for proper transmitter power output.

    4.3.19.3 Switching Regulator

    The basic concept of switching regulator is to turn "ON" and "OFF" the switching transistor Q104 so that power can be transferred from the primary of T101 to the secondary and the associated rectifiers.The +27.5 volt DC is fed to a 5 volt regulator, I104. The regulated 5 volt output of I104 is applied to the non-inverting terminal of error amplifier (comparator) I103A as a reference DC level. A 10 volt variable DC level from the output of the switching transformer is divided in half by a voltage divider network of R185 and R186. Diode CR105 limits the "+5 volt DC" output voltage to 5.7 volts DC when it is forward biased and therefore provides protection for the circuits using the "+5 volt DC" supply.

    tation. Keep leads as short as possible and observe correct repair tech-niques.There are certain soldering considerations with surface mount compo-nents. The soldering iron tip should not touch the ceramic component body. The iron should be applied only to the termination-solder filet.Observe cable routing throughout instrument assembly, prior to disassem-bly, to enable a proper reinstallation of cabling during reassembly proce-dures.

    ectrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESDS) ProtectionAlways discharge static before handling devices by touching something that is grounded.Use a wrist strap grounded through a 1M resistor.Do not slide anything on the bench. Pick it up and set it down instead.Keep all parts in protective cartons until ready to insert into the board.Never touch the device leads or the circuit paths during assembly.Use a grounded tip, low wattage soldering station.Keep the humidity in the work environment as high as feasibly possible.Use grounded mats on the work station unless table tops are made of ap-proved antistatic material.Do not use synthetic carpet on the floor of the shop. If a shop is carpeted, ensure that a grounded mat is placed at each workstation.

    D. MOS Device ProtectionMOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) devices are used in this equipment. While the attributes of MOS type devices are many, characteristics make them susceptible to damage by electrostatic or high voltage charges. Therefore, special precautions must be taken during repair procedures to prevent damaging the device. The fol-lowing precautions are recommended for MOS circuits, and are especially impor-tant in low humidity or dry conditions.1. Store and transport all MOS devices in conductive material so that all ex-

    posed leads are shorted together. Do not insert MOS devices into conven-tional plastic snow or plastic trays used for storing and transporting stan-dard semiconductor devices.

    2. Ground working surfaces on workbench to protect the MOS devices.3. Wear cotton gloves or a conductive wrist strap in series with a 200K re-

    Do not wear nylon clothing while handling MOS devices.Do not insert or remove MOS devices with power applied. Check all power supplies to be used for testing MOS devices. and be sure that there are no voltage transients present.When straightening MOS leads, provide ground straps for the apparatus for the device.Ground the soldering iron when soldering a device.When possible, handle all MOS devices by package or case, and not by leads. Prior to touching the device, touch an electrical ground to displace any accumulated static charge. The package and substrate may be elec-trically common. If so, an electrical discharge to the case would cause the same damage as touching the leads. Clamping or holding fixtures used during repair should be grounded, as should the circuit board, during repair.

    . Devices should be inserted into the printed circuit boards such that leads on the back side do not contact any material other than the printed circuit board (in particular, do not use any plastic foam as a backing).

    . Devices should be soldered as soon as possible after assembly. All solder-ing irons must be grounded.

    . Boards should not be handled in the area around devices, but rather by board edges.

    . Assembled boards must not be placed in conventional, home-type, plastic bags. Paper bags or antistatic bags should be used.

    . Before removing devices from conductive portion of the device carrier, make certain conductive portion of carrier is brought in contact with well grounded table top.

    Board, Two-Lead Component Removal (Resistors, Capacitors, Diodes, etc.)Heat one lead from component side of board until solder flows, and lift one lead from board; repeat for other lead and remove component (note orien-tation).Melt solder in each hole, and using a desoldering tool, remove solder from each hole.

    SECTION VIILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST

    6.1 GENERALThe Illustrated Parts List (IPL) is a complete list of assemblies and parts required for the unit. The IPL also provides for the proper identification of replacement parts. Individual parts lists within this IPL are arranged in numerical sequence starting with the top assembly and continuing with the sub-assemblies. All mechanical parts will be separated from the electrical parts used on the sub-assembly. Each parts list is followed by a component location drawing.Parts identified in this IPL by Honeywell part number meet design specifications for this equipment and are the recommended replacement parts. For warranty information concerning Honeywell re-placement parts, consult the www.bendixking.com website.Some part numbers may not be currently available.
