Operational Description

PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC. DTXPRO-2.3KU THEORY OF OPERATION 1 THEORY OF OPERATION A. INTRODUCTION The DTXPRO-2.3KU transmitter was designed to meet or exceed all FCC applicable specifications for TV broadcast equipment. Special attention was given to the selection of sub- assemblies and components to achieve maximum reliability and minimum down time. The construction of the DTXPRO-2.3KU is BASIC and MODULAR with most components field replaceable. Special emphasis was placed on "KEEPING IT SIMPLE" and returning to more traditional transmitter layouts and instrumentation. Refer to the DTXPRO-2.3KU block diagram for an overview of the transmitter architecture. This will give the technician basic information needed to understand the operation of the transmitter and the function of each subassembly. B. ACDIS4 AC & DC DISTRIBUTION The ACDIS4 is the primary AC power inlet module. The DTXPRO-2.3KU transmitter was designed to accept 208 to 240 VAC Split Phase using a four (4) wire connection. The four wires are: --- 2 wires for 208 -240 VAC Split Phase L-L, 120 VAC L-N --- 1 wire for neutral connection --- 1 wire for safety ground connection CAUTION: Connection to the AC Primary source must be made using all four wires listed above. Follow the wiring instruction given in TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION Section lll.3. If not followed, severe damage to the transmitter and, or, electrical shock could result. The ACDIS4 performs the following functions: 1. Provides a primary AC power breaker point to shutdown the transmitter 2. Provides 208-240 VAC power to each of the 2.2 KWDC power supplies with individual breaker points for added safety. 3. Provides 110 VAC circuits for Exciter, ADP500, and AUX Power where needed. 4. Analog metering is provided to monitor the Power Supply voltage and current being applied to the RF Amplifier states. 5. Power supply current sharing test points are provided for checking current sharing between power supply modules. PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC. DTXPRO-2.3KU THEORY OF OPERATION 2 V -- THEORY OF OPERATION (Continued) C. PS12KW 12 KW POWER SUPPLY ASSEMBLY The DTXPRO-2.3KU transmitter is designed with over 12 kW of DC power. To achieve this level, the power supply in each transmitter rack is made up of six (6) AC2050 power modules mounted into two (2) main frame assemblies, AC2009, which is capable of managing each 2.2 kW modules. The power modules are "HOT PLUGGABLE" and can be removed or installed without turning off the transmitter. Although the transmitter output power may need to be reduced to operate while the DC power level is reduced. Each power supply module has OVER VOLTAGE, OVER CURRENT AND OVER TEMPERATURE protection as well as a fault signal in the event of a failure. REFER TO MANUFACTURER'S MANUAL FOR THE RRSI SERIES POWER SUPPLY PROVIDED WITH THIS DTXPRO-2.3KU USER MANUAL. D. ADP500 PERFORMANCE MONITOR The ADP500 Performance Monitor and associated PAS6 provides the following functions: 1. Provides device current monitoring of all the pallets used in the six (6) PA1KU-50 power amplifier assemblies. The current levels can be read directly from the multi- meter on the front panel. Individual PA's and pallets are selectable on the ADP500 and the PA assemblies are selected using the PAS6. In normal operation, a PA FAULT is indicated when the LED goes from green to red. RED indicates that the current level is below 500 mA and a transistor device may have failed. To read the actual current, select the appropriate Power Amplifier (i.e.: PA1, PA2) using the PAS6 rotary switch. Then, using the rotary switch on the ADP500, rotate through the 5 PA positions to measure the drain current on each transistor device for the selected power amplifier module. The multi-meter will read the actual current. 2. A PA INHIBIT switch is provided for failure diagnostic purposes. When activated, this switch allows the technician to monitor the bias currents for each pallet. These readings were recorded at the factory and are found on the Transmitter Test Report, DC Test Report Section. This is the best way to troubleshoot possible transistor problems. When in the PA INHIBIT mode, the RF PWR OFF LED will change from green to red indicating that the "SHUTDOWN LINE" is at TTL 0 state and the output power has been reduced to near zero. 3. The PA designations on the ADP500 are PA5 (Driver Amp) then PA1 and PA2, indicating the devices on the left side DX500UA-50 Pallet. PA3 and PA4 indicate the current through the devices on the right side DX500UA-50 Pallet. PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC. DTXPRO-2.3KU THEORY OF OPERATION 3 V -- THEORY OF OPERATION (Continued) The rotary switch on the ADP1000 is the detail selector for the multi-meter. The various positions are defined as follows: PA5 Reads PA Driver device currents as selected Typical reading in INHIBIT MODE 1.5 to 2.5 A. Typical reading in normal transmitter operation approximately 1 to 2 amps. PA1 to 4 Reads the individual drain currents on each device located on the pallets located on the left and right side of the Power Amp selected. Typical reading in normal transmitter operation is approximately 7 to14 amps. PA6 Not used PS VOLTS Reads DC voltage applied to PA stages Typical reading for 50 VDC would be the center of the meter, in the green zone. P FWRD Not Used (See Exciter) P RFLD Not Used (See Exciter) AUX 1 & AUX 2 Not used in this configuration. E. DXDPRO-10U EXCITER The heart of any TV Transmitter is the Exciter. This equipment receives the ASI (or SMPTE) digital stream from the source, changes the format to ATSC 8VSB and up converts the IF signal to the specific β€œon-channel” RF broadcast frequency. The DXDPRO-10U provides adaptive linear and non-linear correction and consists of a ProTV core modulator assembly and a 15 VDC power supply. In addition, the DXDPRO-10U Exciter has an internal 10W driver, Automatic Level Control, Power Detector and Logical Measurement and Control. The DXDPRO-10U has provision for accepting a pre mask filter RF mon…

Test Report

PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC.DTXPRO-2.3KU TEST RESULTS AND MEASUREMENTS Emission Mask Compliance To determine emission mask compliance the test equipment configuration shown on Figure 1, in RF Power Section, and Figure 2 was used. The transmitter was tested for compliance with the stringent emission mask classification. The first part of the tests measured the adjacent channel emission and the second part of the tests measured the harmonic and spurious energy. Step 1: The transmitter was energized at 2,300 watts on channel 25 (center frequency of 539 MHz) as calculated by the insertion loss of the directional coupler and the reference was established on the spectrum analyzer (using the channel power measurement mode). Page 1 PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC.DTXPRO-2.3KU TEST RESULTS AND MEASUREMENTS Emission Mask Compliance Step 2: Measure the first four 500 kHz sub‐bands on each side of the desired channel. For this part of the measurement, the stop band filter was not necessary. The attenuator on the spectrum analyzer was adjusted so that it was not being overloaded. Once the first four sub‐bands were measured, the signal was close to the noise floor. Screenshots 2 and 3 show the spectrum on either side of the desired channel as an example of the measurements.

The band stop filter frequency response was determined using a network analyzer. The insertion loss at the center of each of the twelve 500 kHz segments on either side of the main channel was tabulated. The band stop filter response is shown below as Plot 1. Plot 1 Page 4 PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC.DTXPRO-2.3KU TEST RESULTS AND MEASUREMENTS Emission Mask Compliance The first step of the procedure optimized the level of the spectrum analyzer dynamic range ensuring the noise floor was below the value assumed if the transmitter spectrum just met the limits of the emission mask. Once that was done, the spectrum analyzer attenuator was not changed and the channel power mode was engaged to measure each of the remaining 500kHz segments (on both sides of the desired channel) using the center frequency of that segment. The final step was to make any adjustments necessary for the proximity of the noise floor and to take into account the stop band filter loss in that order and record the values in the table. Then those recorded power levels were subtracted from the total power in the desired channel and values were tabulated to determine if they met the emission mask. The table with the corrected emission mask measurement values is presented below. The transmitter emissions met the requirements as indicated by comparison with the FCC Stringent Emission Mask.
