 IF Paths
Tx IF input attenuator
25dB typical range, 1 dB steps.
10dB gain from Tx IF input to Tx RF output of
converter at attenuator setting of 0dB.
Rx IF output attenuator
25dB typical range, 1 dB steps.
45dB gain from Rx RF input to Rx IF output of
converter at attenuator setting of 0dB.
Tx IF switch - controlled by:
Warm-up timer
 Tx IF Path
Cable Compensation
No longer available with CE market converters
Cable Compensation
Provides up to 1.2dB boost (70 MHz) or 2.5dB boost
(140MHz) in 16 steps
Suits over 120m (400ft) of low loss Belden 9913 coax
Ideal for DAMA systems - constant EIRP across entire IF band

 Synthesisers
All oscillators locked to 10MHz oven controlled reference
10MHz Reference Warm-up timer
5-14 minute warm-up from cold switch-on (14 mins. at -40C !)
30 second warm-up if power interrupted momentarily
Timer Over-ride
RS232 (SRO1)
Allows transmission immediately from switch-on
Warm-Up LED flashes
Beware frequency accuracy!
SHF oscillator signals: Up and Down paths
Fixed 2225 MHz offset for single synthesiser models only
Step size 1MHz in both single & dual synthesiser models
 LNA Connections
LNA power source is DIP switch Selectable
(LNA+15V)
LNA Power via Rx RF input
LNA alarm and voltage shut down if >250mA
LNA alarm if <50mA or short circuited
Take care when testing at this input (turn off DC or use
DC block)

LNA Power via separate connector

Current limited (max 400 mA)
LNA alarm relay contact input
 SSPA Connections
Low Power SSPA Interface
48V DC - via fuse in Converter
SSPA temperature sensor for gain compensation
SSPA Fail
SSPA over temperature alarm
Fan Supply (+12V)

High Power SSPA Interface

110/220V AC Mains Input
SSPA Fail
48V DC to Converter
SSPA over temperature alarm

Fan Supply
Converter monitors current from fan to detect fan fault
Fault monitoring can be disabled (SFE0) for SSPAs without a fan
Not available with high power SSPAs (self-monitoring by SSPA)

FAN
 Low Power SSPA (1)
N-connector or Waveguide output options
Internal input isolator for good input VSWR
Internal output isolator for protection and good O/P VSWR
High system gain: 74dB (10W to 40W SSPAs) nominal
Operates from 48V DC (fully floating)
All bias supplies are generated internally

Fan supply provided separately by Converter Module

Internal fault monitoring of GaAs FET bias conditions
Automatic shut-down if:
Bias fault detected when SSPA on - needs to be manually reset
SSPA case temperature is >75oC, automatically resets when SSPA cools down
 Low Power SSPA (2)
Two temperature sensors:
Over Temperature shut-down
Gain v Temperature compensation (in Converter)
High MTBF fan standard on10W, 20W, 30W and 40W
SSPAs
5W SSPAs are convection cooled - no fan
Maintenance
Check heatsink fins for obstructions (webs, nests,
insects etc.)
Clean heatsink to remove dust, dirt, grime etc.
Recommendation - check at least once per year
 High Power SSPA
Available in 60W and 120W
Completely sealed assembly
WR137 waveguide output
Internal Temperature compensation
Full monitor & control from 5700
Up/Down Converter
DC power supplied to the Up/Down
Converter from SSPA
SSPAs can also be operated in a stand alone configuration via
front panel controls or serial commands
 5582 Mains Power Supply
Switch Selectable operation from 115V AC or 230V AC
-15%/+20%

Transceiver uses wide input range DC-DC
