- Service fuse 2. Power supply: various units supplies an adapted supply to RF power amplifier modules. The units that compose power supply are rectifier (PFC) and switching power supplies. 7.5 Power amplifier The final power stage is enclosed in a totally shielded metal container fastened in the centre of the device. The RF signal coming from input power connectors, is measured by input directional coupler card and is then sent to the final stage that sees to its final amplifications up to 1000W (for TEX1002LCD model). The amplification stage consists of two main blocks. In addition to the actual RF amplification, this circuit carries out the following functions:
Control of the power level in output, depending on the setting Reduction of the power supplied when in presence of high-level reflected power Measures of the current absorbed by the power amplifier Measures of the temperature User Manual 33 / 54Rev. 2.1 - 26/06/19 This board also features an RF sampling of approximately -46dB RF (for TEX1002LCD model) with respect to the output, which is available on a BNC connector below the transmitter output connector. This sample is useful for verifying the characteristics of the carrier, but not for verifying those of the upper harmonics. 7.6 Bias card The main function of this board is to check and correct the MOSFET polarization voltage of the RF amplifier section. It also provides the measurement of the absorbed current and contains a circuit for signaling power supply unit faults. If no alarms are present, the voltage is adjusted only depending on the set output power, with a feedback mechanism based on the reading of the power really delivered (AGC). The voltage is also affected by other factors, such as:
Excess of reflected power. External AGC signals (Ext. AGC FWD, Ext. AGC RFL). Excess of temperature. Excess of absorbed current from the RF module. 7.7 Low pass filter card This card provide the low-pass filtering of the RF signal in output and measure the ow-pass filtering of the RF signal in output and measure the reflected and forward power output. 7.8 Driver card Before passing to the final power amplifier, the RF signal is preamplified in this section by an BFG35 and an MRFE6S9060NR1 transistor. When the transmitter is placed on stand-by, the driver is by-passed.. 34 / 54 Rev. 2.1 - 26/06/19 User Manual TEX1002LCD TEX1002LCD 8.
