41200W UHF LDMOS AMPLIFIER MODULE SCH0192AR0DESCRIPTIONThe RF module is an integrated TV linear amplifier designed for UHF band, this module employs push-pullLDMOS technology in order to achieve very good efficiency, high linearity and reliability.LDMOS transistors operate in AB class. It is a wideband amplifier over the full frequency, no adjustment isrequired for the channel change. The board includes RF section amplifier, bias circuit, protection circuit andmatching networks. A silver plated copper plate is brazed with PCB in order to obtain low thermal resistance.Providing a minimum of 200W Pk sync linear power, this module is the perfect amplifier for any broadbandUHF power transmitter.TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICSOutput power 300W maxInput power 15W maxFrequency 470 - 860MHzGain > 13dBLDMOS Power supply 32V ±2%LDMOS Bias current @+32V Vdc 2ARF Input impedance 50WRF Output impedance 50WInput / Output return loss > = 15dBDrain efficiency 47% @ 250WStorage temperature range -50°  to  +150°CDimensions (LxWxH) 165x95x29mm

43- Calibration stepsSTEP 1. Close the input and the output of the module by connecting them to a 50WWWWW dummy loadand connect the spectrum analyser through a directive sample, in order to look for self-oscillation of themodule, if any (anyway the module has been designed so that it would not self-oscillate even if totally de-coupled, without any input or output load).STEP 2. Check the voltages of the polarisation circuits without assembling the transistors first:connect the 32V power supply to the proper turret by means of a fastening screw, then give power and checkdata:- the stabilised voltage on the zener diodes DZ1 and DZ2 is about 15V compared to the ground;- the stabilised voltage on the zener diodes DZ3 and DZ4 is about 6.8V compared to the ground;- the voltage on the pads to which the gates of the LDMOS transistors will be soldered (R23 and R24resistors side) changes from 0V to a maximum value of about 6V when moving the relevant trimmer (R7-R8).STEP 3. Check the work of the protections.- Set both trimmers so that there is a value of about 4.5V on the pads of the gates;- solder some wire to the pad between the two LEDs, next to the serigraphy of the input hybrid H1;- in order to check the work of the protections aboard, a power of about 4V has to be supplied to the wire,for example by touching with it the reophore of C23 or C24 which is not connected to ground; the two redLEDs will immediately light up and the two RF transistors will be switched off at the same time: the polarisationcurrent (2A) will decrease to 0 and of course the gain curve displayed by the spectrum analyser will decrease;- after this it is important to restore the position of the two trimmers for the minimum voltage! Thendisconnect the 32V power supply.STEP 4. Fastening of the LDMOS transistors: after properly cleaning the plate surface, smear a thinlayer of silicone fat on the lower side of the flange of the MOSFETs, fasten them to the heat sink and solderthe gate first, then the drain. Solder the two 13pF (ATC) chip capacitors and above them the two 1-5pFSolder a wire
44capacitive trimmers, between the two pair of gates, as shown by the mounting plan.STEP5. Connect serially a c.c. amperometer to the power supply, with scale starting from more than 5A(i.e. 10A).STEP 6. Power the module and check the MOSFET is not absorbing current; this means that the deviceis integral and working correctly.STEP 7. Slowly turn the R7 trimmer until the MOSFET absorbs 1A, always checking that there are noself-oscillation; under this conditions it is possible to check by means of a digital tester that the voltage on thegate is about 5.2-5.4V.STEP 8. Repeat the previous step for the other section of the module, this time turnign R8 and checkingthat the indication of the current on the amperometer increases to 2A total (which includes the current of theother device left on).STEP 9. Check the response curve of the module by means of the network analyser.STEP 10. Check the response curve for low signal with centre 660MHz and span 500MHz, 2dB/div.STEP 11. The curve should be similar to the one enclosed, with a tolerance of ± 0.5dB. To obtain this, acton the four trimmers C41-C41a and C42-C42a with the proper calibrator, inorder to flatten the curve asmuch as possible, especially at the edged of the band which represents the minimum values.STEP 12. Finally, check that the current in stand-by does not increase by more than 15÷20%, reaching atworst 2.3÷2.4A when the heat sink is hot and not ventilated.Note: when mounting-removing the PALLET on the heat sink, tightly fasten the screw of each all N input and outputconnectors. These are mounted with a single 3mm screw and if it is not properly fastened it may be detached from the PCBby a movement of the connector once it has already been soldered to the path.

52Figure 1: Simplified block diagram of the control and display boardCONTROL BOARD AND DISPLAY SCH0223AR1DESCRIPTIONThe control board SCH0223AR1 manages the operational logic of the amplifier: switching on and off, powersupply and fans, alarms and protections, remote control, human-machine interface. All of that is performed bya modern and powerful 16 bit micro-controller, which is the main part of the board.Figure 1 shows the block diagram.
53It can be seen that the micro-controller is the heart of the control system, to which the various peripherals(power supply, serial ports, telemeasure socket, AGC port, RF amplifier module, ROM, clock, display andkeys) are interfaced.- Power SupplyThe board is powered with a continuous +24V voltage applied on the J14 connector. From that the +5Vvoltage, powering the most of the chips (micro-controller, operational amplifiers, display, etc.) is derived bymeans of a switching converter (see IC19). A +12Vdc voltage is obtained from it as well, by means of a linearconversion provided by the integrated circuit IC8. From this, a -12Vdc voltage is obtained by means  of  theintegrated circuit IC5. The -12V voltage is used to adjust the contrast of the display.- ConnectorsOn the board SCH0223AR1 there are several connectors used as interfaces for the peripherals of the apparatusand the ports for external communication.POWER SUPPLYThe connectors J1, J6, J8 e J12 are used to connect the power supply powering the RF modules. The numberof power supply used changes depending on the amplifier, up to eight power supply. They are connected inthe order shown in Table 1 below. Remaining connectors, if any, are left unconnected.Table 1: Interface connectors for the power supplyThrough this connection, each power supply provides the level of voltage and current acquired by the micro-controller by means of an internal ADC. Besides the connectors allow the control board to turn on or off theindividual power supply (for instance when an alarm occurs).CONNECTOR POWER SUPPLY N°J1 1 - 2J6 3 - 4J8 5 - 6J12 7 - 8
54RF AMPLIFICATIONThe J3 connector interfaces the control board with the RF amplification section. Through this connector themicro-controller acquires the forward and reflected powers, unbalancing (if any), and temperature of thecritic amplification area. It also allows to inhibit the transistors in case of reflected power alarm, by means ofa totally hardware, thus extremely fast protection.Depending on the apparatus, this connector may also allow to enable or disable the cooling fans of the criticarea.RS485The J11 connector (10 pin socket) is directly wired to a DB9 female connector placed on the rear panel of theapparatus. This communication bus allows to connect the amplifier to the control (Amplifier Control) moduleof a high-power transmitter composed by several individual amplifiers. In this case, each amplifier and theAmplifier Control are connected to the same 4-wires RS485 bus and each of them has a unique address(which can be set by means of the keys and the display) for correct communication.In case of single (stand-alone) amplifier, the RS485 connector can be used to interface to the Remote ControlUnit (RCU) made by Elettronika S.r.l. This unit allows to monitor and control the remote transmitter from anysite provided with PSTN or GSM1 phone connection.Table 2 shows the wiring between the J11 connector on the board and the DB9 female connector on the rearpanel, along with the description of the lines.1 For more details about the control system contact the distributor or the manufacturer.PIN N°ON DB9PIN N°ON J11 DESCRIPTION11 Not used23 Rx-35 Rx+47 +5V59 GND62 Not used74 Tx-86 Tx+98 Not usedTable 2: Description of the RS485 connector
55TELEMEASURESThe J9 telemeasure connector (10 pins socket) is directly wired on a DB9 female connector placed on therear panel. There are input and output digital lines (TTL level) and analog output lines on this connector, whichare used to monitor and control the amplifier by means of a general-purpose remote control system.The correspondence between the pins of the J9 connector on the board and the DB9 female connector on therear panel, as well as the meaning of the various lines, is shown in table 3 below (the directions are in respectto the micro-controller on the board).Table 3: Description of the telemeasures connectorThe input stage of the digital pins has an internal pull-up towards the 5V power supply voltage. To use theselines it only takes setting a switch to close to earth. When closed, the relevant control (turning on or off) isenabled and the switch may be open again (impulse controls).The interlock pin may be used as protection so that the amplifier is switched off when the digital input level islow. It is possible to use several serially connected switches to make an interlock chain. Usually all switchesare closed and the interlock level is low, thus the amplifier is on. If even only one of the switches is open, the(*)(*)(*) You can select by means of two jumpers on the board (JP1 and JP2) RMS or peak power. If there are two jumpers on pins 1 and 2 ofJP1 and JP2 connectors, RMS power is selected. Otherwise, if there are two jumpers on pins 2 and 3 of the same connectors, peak poweris selected.PIN N°ON DB9PIN N°ON J9 TYPE DIRECTION DESCRIPTION1 1 Analog Output Forward power2 3 Analog Output Reflected power3 5 Analog Output Temperature4 7 Digital InputInterlock:0V = Interlock Alarm5V = Normal59 - -Ground6-7 2-4 Digital Output Free Contact(closed when amplifier is in alarm)8 6 Digital Input Turning-on control(normally high, active when low)9 8 Digital Input Turning-off control(normally high, active when low)
56Figure 2: Usage of the digital input signals of the telemeasures connectorAGC / EXCITERThe connector called J10, as the telemeasures connector and the RS485 bus, is wired to a DB9 femaleconnector placed on the rear panel of the amplifier. This connector allow the implementation of an automaticgain control between an exciter and the amplifier. A voltage signal related to the forward output powersupplied by the amplifier is provided through two pins of the AGC connector. Connecting one of these to therelevant input pin of the exciter, this can pursuit a given voltage level, so that the output power is alwaysconstant. In order to avoid that, in case of an alarm decreasing the forward power, the exciter increases itsoutput level due to the AGC, thus damaging the amplification stages, the connector is provided with twodigital output lines called AGC Alarm. Under alarm conditions, this lines are brought by the micro-controllerat a low level, so that the exciter can stop the AGC.Table 4 shows the connection between the J10 connector on the board and the DB9 connector on the rearpanel, along with the description of each pin (the direction of the pin is referred to the position of the micro-controller on the board).level of the interlock signal becomes high (this line has a pull-up towards the +5V power supply voltage aswell) and the interlock protection activates switching off the amplifier. Note that in case the interlock protectionis not used, the pin 4 of the DB9 telemeasure connector and the earth pin (pin 5) must be short circuited.Otherwise it is possible to disable the monitoring of the interlock chain from menu (see user manual).Figure 2 shows a typical usage for the digital input signals to turn on and off the amplifier and for the interlockalarm.
57Table 4: Description of the AGC connectorRS232The DB9 female connector on the front panel is an external communication RS232 serial port, through whicha PC can be connected directly to the amplifier in order to perform operations such as the remote control (bymeans of an adequate software2) and the update of the microcontroller firmware.The used communication protocol is asynchronous, at a 19200bps speed, 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,no parity. No hardware flow control is used. The connector is DCE type and the pin used are shown in Table5.PIN N° ON DB9 123456789DESCRIPTION -TxDRxD-GND----MISCELLANEOUSThe J2 (called AUX), J4, J5 and J17 connectors are not used and are there only for future updates. The SW1dip-switches are partially used for the configuration of the correct mode for the micro-controller. The otherswitches are not used. It is important that the position of the dip-switches is left unchanged, because changingit may set a wrong mode for the micro-controller, affecting the work of the whole amplifier.2 For more information about this application contact the distributor of the manufacturer.PIN N°ON DB9PIN N°ON J10 TYPE DIRECTION DESCRIPTION11- -Ground23DigitalOutputAGC Alarm0V = Alarm5V = Normal35DigitalOutputAGC Alarm0V = Alarm5V = Normal47- -Not used59 - -Not used62 - -Not used7 4 - - Nout used8 6 Analog Output Forward power9 8 Analog Output Forward powerTable 5: Description of the RS232 connector
58FIRMWARE UPDATEThe microcontroller is provided with a built-in Flash memory containing the firmware. The firmware can beupdated with a later version without removing the apparatus from the rack and/or replacing the chip.To upgrade it, connect a PC to the RS232 socket on the front panel of the apparatus by means of a cableDB9 male - DB9 female (pin-to-pin).Launch on the PC the EKAFlash application, select the serial port in use on the PC, choose the update file bypressing the ... key and click on Download button.Eventually, turn off the amplifier from the main switch and then turn it on again. The upgrade of the firmwarebegins on the EKAFlash window. Fifure 3 shows this window while a firmware is being updated.Figure 3: The EKAFlash window while updating a firmware

77TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONThe output filter mod. 06673 is made up of a 3 resonators bandpass filter and two notches. It can be tuned onall the channels of the UHF TV band (470 - 862MHz) and according to all worldwide standards (4.5 -6.5MHz intercarrier). The bandpass section is composed by the three middle resonators, while the tworesonators apart are the notches. The filter is symmetrical; therefore, the choice of the lowest and the hightestnotch is indifferent.The bandwidth regulation is accomplished by varying the insertion of the two Post Rods, which are locatedbetween the bandpass resonators; the insertion of the Post Rods increases the bandwidth. In order to executethis regulation it is necessary to loosen every lock nut by means of a n. 12 pipe key.The input/output couplings are regulated by means of the two shafts (Coupling Stub) opposite to each connector.The regulation is carried out with n. 8 flat key, considering that when the operating flattenings are parallel to thelonger side of the filter the coupling is maximum, otherwise if orthogonal the coupling is minimum.The frequency response symmetry is determined by the insertion of the previously mentioned shafts; theseshafts can be set after loosening the relevant clamps with a pipe wrench n. 16. Once locked, these clamps setout also the twist friction of the couplings.TUNING INSTRUCTIONSThe advised tuning sequence is the following:1. Set the instrument state as follows: C.F. = (V.C. + S.C.) / 2 SPAN = INTERCARRIER * 5 (E.G. 27,5MHz std. B/G) TRANSMISSION SCALE = 5dB/div. REFLECTION SCALE = 5dB/div.2. Preset the Coupling Stubs and the bandwidth (Posts   ), measuring them from the extremity to the filters    body, according to the following table:C.F.(MHz)COUPLING STUBS(mm)POSTS (mm)B, G Standards K, K1 Standards M, N Standards I Standard474 27 27 16 48 20666 48 32 28 41 3085862 22182820
783.Tune the bandpass section on the required channel, and match input and output until a correct response isachieved. During this step, the tunings of the two notches shall be kept well far from the bandpass response.Regulate the bandwidth at -24dB to the ends of span (E. g. std. G: BW (-24dB) = 27,5MHz). The input/output couplings may influence the external resonators; therefore, it will be necessary to repeatedly fix theformers after the latters in small steps. The frequency response must be centered, with the same attenuationvalues at both sides of the screen.4. Tune the two notches to P.V. - INTERCARRIER and P.A. + INTERCARRIER frequencies. This will varythe response and matching. Adjust the response acting on the bandpass tunings.5. Improve the calibration alternatively acting on two sides of the filter according to this sequence: regulate the couplings; re-tune notches if they have to be moved; re-tune the bandpass resonatoes.6. Execute the sequence in small steps aiming to improve the matching. Check the response symmetry, andcorrect it if needed according to the following criterion: if the lowest notch is much more emphasized thanthe highest one it is necessary to insert the Coupling Stubs, otherwise if the hightest notch is more emphasizedthan the lowest one it is necessary to extract the Coupling Stubs.7. At the end of the tuning process, lock the trim points (Posts and Coupling Stubs) and assemble the couplingprotection caps on the filter.SPECIFICATION OVER THE UHF BANDMEASURE VALUEInsertion Loss @ V.C. < 0.50dB @ V.C.
