INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL The SONIK PTX150 Paging transmitter is a state of the art DSP/DDS (Digital Signal Processor/Direct Digital Synthesis) based device capable of generating all paging modulation formats, and is designed as a general purpose transmitter for all speed paging systems. Construction of the transmitter is fully modular. Internally, the case is divided into compartments with PCB’s arranged in modules, all interconnected by plug/sockets. All modules can be replaced without the use of a soldering iron. Replacement modules do not require alignment or tuning. The SONIK PTX150 transmitter incorporates a universal AC supply and can also operate from a single DC supply for battery back up operation. Software permits the option of ”Hot standby” with auto changeover initiated by software selectable fault conditions. The SONIK PTX150 transmitter is designed for 100% duty cycle at up to 55 ° C ambient conditions amd utilizes advanced cooling technology to maintain very low power transistor junction temperatures. This approach means assures ultra reliable power amplifier performance. The power amplifier temperature is monitored and if the temperature rises above a preset amount (35 ° C), the diagnostics system is alerted and the fan and cooling system is activated. The transmitter is protected by over temperature feedback control to the PA drive input and also incorporates auto fold back for high VSWR conditions. An external frequency reference input is designed to handle standard reference sources and will lock the transmitter to the external reference. An internal ± 1 PPM TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) is provided as standard if no external reference is available. In POCSAG wide area systems, the carrier can be ”dithered” by what is known as a ”Black noise” algorithm, to minimize cancellation of equal amplitude carriers from adjacent transmitters. This technique has been used for at least 12 years and is superior to the Carrier offset method. High stability carriers are unnecessary for the carrier dithering technique. For high speed ERMES and FLEX systems, the carrier can be offset in 1Hz steps.
