UHF BANDSELECTIVE, BDA (55-199102) SUB MODULES 4.1. Bandpass Filter (02-010701) The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the passband frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is basically Chebyshev with a passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of combline design, and are carefully aligned during manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss, VSWR and intermodulation characteristics of the unit. The tuned elements are silver-plated to reduce surface ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure and 50Ω load at the input and output ports. Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life and require no maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the module rather than attempt repair or re-tuning. 02-010701 Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Response type: Chebyshev 415 - 418MHz (uplink) Frequency range: 406 - 409MHz (downlink) Bandwidth: 3 MHz Number of sections: 5 Insertion loss: 1.7 dB (typical) VSWR: better than 1.2:1 Connectors: SMA Power Handling: 100W max operation:-20°C to +60°C Temperature range storage: -40°C to +70°C Weight: 3 kg (typical) UHF Bandselective BDA 90dB 40/5W Document Number 55-199102HBKM Issue No. 1 Page 13 of 28 4.2. 3dB Splitter/Combiner (05-002603) The 3dB Splitter/Combiner (05-002603) is a device for accurately matching two RF signals to a single port or splitting an RF signal to two ports whilst maintaining an accurate 50 Ω load to all inputs/outputs and ensuring that the VSWR and insertion losses are kept to a minimum. 05-002603 Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency range:380 - 520 MHz Bandwidth:140 MHz As Combiner2 inputs 1 output Ports As Splitter1 input 2 outputs Insertion loss:3.5 dB (typical) Isolation:>18 dB Return Loss (VSWR) – Input:Better than 1.3:1 Return Loss (VSWR) – Output:Better than 1.3:1 Impedance:50 Ω Power Rating – Combiner:0.5 Watt Power Rating – Splitter:20 Watts Connectors:SMA female Size:54 x 44 x 21 mm Weight:200 gm (approximately) 4.3. Remote Attenuator Switch Assembly (‘10-001725’) The remote attenuator switch assembly is used to control the amount of signal attenuation in the sub- module, Bi-Directional Amplifier (17-017301). The switch assembly is mounted on the inside of the Bandselective BDA (55-199102) case and consists of four miniature toggle switches, one row for uplink and one row for downlink, built around the remote attenuator switch PCB (10-001725) The switch assembly allows attenuation settings from 0 – 30dB in 2 dB steps The attenuation is simply set using the four miniature toggle switches. Each switch is clearly marked with the attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values switched in. The attenuators that the switches control are integral to sub-module Bi-Directional Amplifier (17-017301). 4.4. 5 Watt Tetra Amplifier (12-021601) The power amplifier fitted to this unit is a multi-stage, solid state power amplifier. Class A circuitry is employed throughout the device to ensure excellent linearity over a wide dynamic frequency range. All the semi-conductor devices are very conservatively rated to ensure low device junction temperatures and a long, trouble free working lifetime. The power amplifier should require no maintenance over its operating life. Under no circumstances should the cover be removed or the side adjustments disturbed unless it is certain that the amplifier has failed; since it is critically aligned during manufacture and any re-alignment will require extensive test equipment. The unit housing is an aluminium case (Iridite NCP finish) with SMA connectors for the RF input/output and a D-Type connector for the power supply and the Current Fault Alarm Function. 12-021601 Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency range:380-470MHz (as required) Bandwidth:10-40MHz (typical, tuned to spec.)
