4.      Technical Description


4.1     Construction Details

The fixed transmitter SR 300 IEM is consists of four printed circuit boards, housed in a
sturdy metal case and powered by a separate wall—plug—in power supply. The main
board contains all control electronics, plus the audio circuits, which consist of dual
electronically gain controlled preamplifiers with rumble filters, dynamic compressor
(HDx) stages, which include effective modulation limiters, mute control, stereo MPX
coder, peak deviation indicators, and power supply and conditioners.

Attached to the main board is the RF module, which incorporates the PLL and VCO,
together with the RF buffer, driver and output stages, and the EEPROM with specific
frequency data. Also attached to the main board is the display module with the
operational keys. Furthermore, there is a headphone monitor module connected to the
main board.

The resulting assembly is housed in a sturdy metal housing, providing superb
mechanical protection and electronic shielding. The front panel of the transmitter
features its operating controls and a back !it multifunction LC—display. The controls are a
power switch, an audio monitor output with volume control, and three control keys.
These control keys are labeled ‘A‘ (UP), ‘v‘ (DOWN) and ‘SET‘. Located at the rear
panel are the input socket for an external power supply, the audio input jacks for right
and left channels, and the RF—output BNC socket. Permanently attached to the back of
the housing is the type label, which includes the FCC identifier and other approval and
certification markings.


4.2     Circuit Description

4.2.1   Mother Board with Audio— and Processor—Circuits

The audio signals are processed in two identical circuit sections for both channels. in
each channel the balanced AF—signal is routed from the 1/4" tip—ring sleeve jack (J101
(J201) to a differential buffer amplifier U1O1—1 (U201—1), which is followed by an active
high—pass filter amplifier U101—2 (U201—2) with electronic gain control in its feedback
path via Q101/0102 (Q210/Q201) and Q103/Q104 (Q203/0204). The preamplifier is
coupled to the HDx® compressor circuit fortned by U103—2/U102—1 (U203—2/U202—1)
and its associated components via the R/C link of R125 and C112 (R225 and C212) for
pre—emphasis. The compressor incorporates a limiter for both signal polarities of
potentially excessive input signals with Q105 and Q106 (Q205 and Q206). The
processed signal is output through buffer amplifiers U103—4 and U103—3 (U203—4 and
U203—3). A very steep active 15 kHz low—passfilter section with U104 and U105 (U204
and U205) couples the AF—signal to the output buffer U102—2 (U202—2).


                                                                      FCC iD: DMOF1EURH
                                                                                      6


                                               N sc~NNHEIsSER®

The right and left signals are routed under electronic control to the stereo MPX coder
section. in addition, from the output buffer the signal is picked off to derive a control
signal for the bargraph level display.

The 3.8 MHz clock signal from the processor section is digitally divided in U3 and U6 to
generate the 38 kHz sub carrier and 19 kHz pilot tone. The 38 kHz signal alternately
switches in US the left and right AF—signals from their input buffers U4—1 and U4—2 to the
summing amplifier U20—1, where the multiplexed signal is combined with the 19 kHz pilot
tone, which has been conditioned in the active 57 kHz filter section with U8 and U7. The
combined MPX signal is further conditioned in an active MPX—tow pass filter with U9 and
U1O before it is routed via the buffer U11 to the modulation input of the RF—module.

The micro controller U12 controls all transmitter functions. Afterinitializing, the controller
recognizes the device‘s frequency range. The voltage sensitive Schmitt—Trigger IC U13
tests the battery voltage and forces the controller to abort the start—up procedure if the
operating voltage falls below its threshold. After successfully booting up. the controlier
then reads in the data for the last used frequency from the EEPROM on the RF—module
and programs the PLL.

In the standard mode of operation, the controller periodically scans the operating keys.
Any key activity forces the processor to branch to the corresponding subroutine and
send appropriate menu options to the LC—display module, consisting of the LCD U802
and its own controller IC U801. The processor‘s internal software offers access to
commands for scanning and setting the operating frequency, assigning channel or other
alphanumeric {name) designations, setting the AF—processor gain. Frequency and
channel data are interpreted in the processor IC and send to the LC—display via its
controller. The processor also monitors the PLL IC and any abnormal or ‘out—of—lock‘
condition will force the RF—output to be disabled. The LC—display also displays through
two 8—step bargraphs the audio signal levels of right and teft channels. The control
signals are derived from the processed audio signals in the AF—meter rectifier section
with active full—way rectifiers U16 and their output buffers U17.

The main board incorporates the power supply regulators and power conditioning for all
other circuits. The power input jack J1 is protected against reverse polarity with fuse F1
and D1. A regulator IC U14 supplies most circuit sections with well regulated 10 V. For
the digital control circuits this supply is further regulated to the 5 V requirement by the
monolithic regulator IC U15, and for certain other section in regulator IC U18. Various
discrete transistors provide control, delay and power routing functions under processor
control.

4.2.2    RF—Module

When the transmitter is turned on, the processor module activates all stages with the
exception of the RF—output stages. Next it loads via a serial bus the frequency specific
data from the EEPROM U3 into the PLL IC U1. This IC sets its internal dividers and
compares the 5 kHz reference frequency derived from the 4 MHz crystal Y901 on the
main board with the transmission frequency divided in the fast prescaler U2. A phase

                                                                       FCC iD: DMOF1EURH
                                                                                       T


detector in U1 produces current pulses proportional to the difference in phase. After
integration in the loopfilters, the resulting signal controls the VCO at D2. Effective RF
decoupling is achieved with additional passive components.

The circuit around Q2 and variable capacitance diodes D1 and D2 forms the voltage
controlled oscillator with very low current consumption and generating the carrier
frequency with very low phase noise at a VCO gain of > 20 MHz/V. The current
regulator loop with Q1 further reduces VCO phase noise below 10 MHz by up to 15 dB.
The VCO is AF—modulated by D1. Through this arrangement the variation in FM
sensitivity is held to +/— 0.5 dB within the tuning range. Trimmcap C6 permits to center
the tuning voltage correctly. The VCO output is loosely coupled into a broadband
cascade buffer amplifier Q4. To eliminate any possible interference, the entire VCO and
buffer section is housed in a tightly shielded compartment.

The subsequent stages with transistors Q5, Q6 and Q9 amplify the transmission signal
from —10 dBm via +1 dBm to +17 dBm. Broadband matching between the stages is
achieved by the LC high pass filters of L7/C31 and L9/C33. Transistors Q7 and Q8
control and stabilize the RF—output. Under control from the main processor the
RF—output stage can be turned off, and it experiences a delayed power—up command to
allow the PLLVCO to achieve reliable lock before emitting a any transmission. A
low—pass filter/matching network follows Q9 and eliminates any potential emission of
harmonics, while performing the impedance match between the collector impedance of
the output stage and the effective antenna impedance. Also loosely coupled to the VCO
output is the prescaler U3. This IC divides the VCO frequency by 64 or 65 respective of
the modulus control output of the PLL IC U1.

A two channel/stereo headphone monitor is incorporated into the transmitter. It gets its
inputs from the audio preamplifier, before pre—emphasis and dynamic processing. The
dual volume control R1 precedes the monitor preamplifier U1. The special audio
amplifier IC U2 provides the power boost to 100 mWi/channel into a 32 Q load at the
stereo 1/4" monitor output jack. The entire monitor module with volume control and
output jack is contained on a separate small circuit board.

An optional accessory, the active antenna combiner AC 1, is available for connection of
the output of up to four transmitters to a common transmitting antenna. Active buffer
amplifiers precede the passive combiner and provide excellent isolation between the
connected transmitters. Their gain is just enough to compensate for the combiner
losses. In this way the creation of intermodulation products in the transmitter output
stages is effectively avoided.
