Operational Description

Microair Avionics – Commercial in Confidence Document version 1.5 T2000 PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY MANUAL Page6of 89 Theory of Operation. Introduction The T2000 series of transponders are designed to operate within the Air Traffic Control radar environment. The design criteria was for a high performance unit that was lightweight, low power consumption and suited a range of aircraft. The chassis is split into 3 cavities , the main , the transmitter and the micro controller. Chassis construction is off CNC milled aluminium. Receiver. Signals are received via the BNC antenna input socket and passed into the RX / TX port of the circulator. As the receive port is first off the circulator this signal is then fed into the band pass filter for filtering the resultant 1030 Mhz signal. This signal is then fed into the receiver board which consists of an LNA , receiver chip , 5 volt regulator and op amp. The LNA is programmed to boost the filtered 1030 signal a further 10 DB before passing it on to the Receiver chip. The receiver chip uses logarithmic amplifiers to detect the signal over a –73 dbm range , the output has a swing from .6 of a volt ( least sensitivity ) to + 2 volts ( maximum sensitivity ) and is linear. The following op amp acts a buffer / edge detector before presenting the analog voltage to the micro processor . An additional comparator provides pulse width measurement which is fed into the input compare port on the micro controller, as well as a start of conversion pulse for the flash A to D converter. Transmitter. The transmitter consists of 3 stages : Oscillator Buffer / Driver Power Amplifier The oscillator consists of a tuned resonator at 1090 Mhz , volts are applied ( pulsed ) at the emitter via a monastable triggered by the micro controller.The resonator sets the transmit frequency .The base is biased, also a variable capacitor at the base provides frequency adjustment. The collector of the oscillator is also switched at the same time , this provides 52 volts. The resultant 1090 signal ( approximately 12 watts ) is then fed into the buffer amplifier and final P.A . Both stages are in class C. A series of ¼ wave matching stubs on the output provide 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th harmonic suppression. Power Supply. The power supply has 2 onboard regulators, one running in Boost mode to switch the 10 to 33 volts D.C input up to 52 volts ( transmitter volts ) and the other is a 8 volt regulator which supplies power to the receiver. The input is over voltage and reverse power protected. 5 volts for the micro controller is derived from an onboard ( main micro board ) switchmode regulator which is not switched of from the power in ( live to the input ) . The switch mode for the 8 and 50 volts is switched on and off by the main micro controller. Microair Avionics – Commercial in Confidence Document version 1.5 T2000 PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY MANUAL Page7of 89 Micro processor ( Main board ) The micro controller is a 17c756 OTP , an econ reset power monitor will reset the micro controller should an unstable supply voltage be detected. A watchdog timer which is internal to the micro controller provides software and hardware monitoring and reset should there be a failure, also an external power watchdog provides a clean reset should the volts to the micro drop by 10%. The receiver analog volts is fed into a 10 bit , A to D chip. The output is then fed into the 8 bit port ( Port F ) on the micro controller. The signal is then processed and a valid reply sent should the A or C interrogation be received. Additional to processing the receiver , the micro also sends the transmit pulses to the monostable at the transmitter oscillator. Gillham altitude information is processed by the micro controller as 10 bit data received at port C and D. This is then displayed on the ALT DISP and also transmitted in the mode C transmission.. Other inputs and outputs include: Remote ID – An input to this pin going low will initiate an ID transmission ( SPI Pulse ). Remote standby- An input to this pin going low will initiate a standby condition on the T2000 , the S symbol will be displayed. Suppression In – and high input ( 5 to 33 volts ) will suppress the T2000 transmit pulses for the duration of the high status. Suppression out – The T2000 will toggle this pin high every time a transmission occurs. The pulse is low going high ( TTL – 5 volts ). Encoder volts – A switched output for driving an external altitude encoder , volts out follow volts in at the power input , i.e A 28 volt input will provide 28 volts out to the encoder, 14 volts in will provide 14 volts out. RS-485 + and - - RS-485 data line for connection to external displays and MFD’s ( future development ). A to D monitoring of the power input provides BUS voltage display , also a to d monitoring of the receiver volts provides a diagnostic tool for monitoring the receiver volts. The internal communications from the display to the main micro is via an RS – 232 link. Micro controller ( SF Display ) The display can be used as a master or remote. Communications is provided by RS –232 ( for internal connection ).The micro controller is a 17c756 OTP , an econ reset power monitor will reset the micro controller should an unstable supply voltage be detected. Also this reset IC acts as a watchdog timer which provides hardware monitoring and reset should there be a failure. 2 x 8 line Alphanumeric displays are serially addressed by the micro controller. The displays have their own drivers and character generators. LED display brightness levels are controlled by a photo resistor which is monitored by the micro controllers A to D. Keyswitch inputs are scanned by the micro and initiated when depressed. These inputs are: On/OFF – Sends the on / off request to the main micro controller , also provides the keypad backlight command. Mode: Selects various mode commands ( see user manual ) Enter: Enter key ID – Sends SPI ( IDENT ) command to main micro controller. VFR – Sends sto…

Microair Avionics – Commercial in Confidence Document version 1.5 T2000 PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY MANUAL Page47of 89 Appendix E Filter tuning / alignment procedure. 1.0 TECHNICAL NOTE This technical note describes the assembly and tuning procedures for the 1.03 GHz transponder filter. Before considering these procedures, some general information on the specifications, design and tuning characteristics of the filter are given. 2.0 SPECIFICATIONS The filter has to meet electromagnetic performance specifications over a range of temperatures and environmental conditions. From a system perspective the key electromagnetic specification is the rejection. Filter parameters such as bandwidth, insertion loss, ripple and return loss are not specifically referenced in the requirements documentation. These have been selected based on the overall system performances and subject to constraints on size, weight and temperature differentials. The filter specifications have been set as follows: Centre Frequency: 1030 MHz Bandwidth: 12 MHz Insertion Loss: 5 dB (maximum) Return Loss: 12 dB (minimum) Rejection (± 25 MHz): 60 dB (minimum) When connected ‘in situ’ the filter is readily accessible from the input side only. This is sufficient to tune the filter but not necessarily to verify all the performance specifications. 3.0 DESIGN APPROACH The filter is a five section combline design using machined resonators clamped between ground planes. Because of the constraints on size and weight, short resonators have been used with a small ground plane spacing. This reduces the Q of the resonators resulting in relatively high insertion loss. The insertion loss is reduced by silver plating the resonator rods. This also enables the input and output connections to be easily made by standard soldering techniques. With short resonators (~ λ/8) capacitive loading at the open circuit end is used to set the resonant frequency. This is done by adjusting the penetration depth of fine tuning screws inside the open end of the resonator. The tuning screws are fitted with a Teflon sleeve. This serves to increase the capacitance, prevents the tuning screw shorting the resonator, acts to damp out any mechanical vibrations and forms part of the temperature compensation. The filter bandwidth was set relatively narrow (! 12 MHz, 1%) primarily to meet the rejection specification. The bandwidth is controlled by the coupling between the resonators which is not adjustable in this case. Consequently, if the resonators are properly set to the required frequency then the filter bandwidth, return loss and rejection will be as designed with a quite tolerance determined by the mechanical tolerances. The return loss so affected by the neatness of the input/output coupling joints and so it is important to assemble these correctly. Because of the narrow bandwidth, it is necessary to have good thermal stability. The frequency change due to temperature has been measured at < 15 kHz/°C which is small enough to ensure that the specifications are met with reasonable margin over a temperature range of ± 50° C. Microair Avionics – Commercial in Confidence Document version 1.5 T2000 PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY MANUAL Page48of 89 4.0 ASSEMBLY The filter is assembled in several stages. The main steps are: 1. Solder ‘wire connectors’ to silver plated fingers. 2. Insert Teflon inserts in end of fingers. 3. Insert fingers in chassis and slide Teflon material in place. 4. Lightly screw tuning screws in place. 5. Place lid over fingers and screw down. 6. Connect input SMA connector and output probe. The filter is now ready for tuning. Each of these steps is considered in more detail below. 4.1 FINGER ASSEMBLY The ‘wire connectors’ are actually the .93 mm centre pin of RF142 semi rigid cable. This is used because it is stiff but easily solderable (silver plated steel) and also mates with ‘push on’ SMA connectors. STEPS 1. Cut the wire to the lengths shown in Figure 1. 2. Insert the wires into the holes in the first and last resonators of the silver plated fingers and solder neatly. Remove all flux. 3. Insert a Teflon ring in each of the five counter bored holes in the resonator finger. (Figure 1). 4. Slide the Teflon sleeve over the input/output probes. 4.2 ‘IN CHASSIS’ ASSEMBLY This stage describes the insertion of the silver plated resonator fingers into the chassis. Before proceeding, make sure all items are clean and free from oil, grit, flux etc. STEPS 5. Position the resonator section and slide into place taking care not to bend either of the probes , and ensure both of the Teflon sleeves on the probes are in situ. 6. Screw in each of the resonator tuning screws ensuring that the screws slide neatly through the Teflon inserts. 7. Position the lid over the resonator fingers and screw in place. 8. Slide the SMA (F) push on connector over the input probe. If the filter is to be checked for ‘through loss’ then the coaxial probe should be connected to the output. If it is to be tuned on return loss only, then the filter output can be connected directly to the receiver circuit. The filter is now ready for tuning/testing. Microair Avionics – Commercial in Confidence Document version 1.5 T2000 PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY MANUAL Page49of 89 A: 16 mm Teflon: 9 mm B: 22 mm Teflon: 22 mm Figure 1: Dimensions for Input/Output Probes FILTER TUNING The filter can be tuned in situ using return loss only. This can be done with either a vector or a scalar analyser but it is important that the frequency of the sweeper be accurate (within ± 500 kHz) so that the filter frequency can be set precisely. With a vector analyser, tuning can be done using the group delay of the reflected signal. The advantage of this technique is it allows the filter coupling parameters to be measured. However, since these are set by the mechanical dimensions and are not adjustable, knowledge of the actual coupling values is not essential. The method is described for return loss (amplitude) tuning.
