Annex DVOR Nextfield (optional)
Chapter 1 contains general system descriptions. The equipment-specific descriptions are contained
in Chapter 2, and the antenna-specific descriptions in Chapter 3. There are only slight differences
between the 50 W and 100 W versions (single or dual) as far as components and functions are conĆ
cerned. These versions are not therefore described separately; instead the relevant special feature
are made clear by means of notes. The nextfield monitoring option is described in the Annex to this
manual.
Since it is not possible to include modifications, such as those which may be made to circuitry details
or dimensioning in the interests of technical progress, in the Technical Manual, we should point out
that questions of detail should always be answered using the technical documentation supplied with
the system. It is possible that reference numbers of drawings or subassemblies used in this descripĆ
tion are no longer contained in the set of drawings supplied (Volume A to C), but rather than (to conĆ
form with the system) they have been replaced by new drawings with another number. Please carry
out a once-only check on the basis of delivery list supplied and exchange where appropriate.
Description and use of the PC User Program will be found in the Technical Manual ADRACS, Code

DVOR 432
Equipment Description General Information
CHAPTER 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The VOR (Very high frequency Omnidirectional Radio range) is a radio navigation aid recommended
by the ICAO and introduced internationally for short and medium range aircraft guidance. It can be
remote controlled and remote monitored.
The DVOR radio navigation equipment is a further development of the conventional VOR. Through
its utilisation of the Doppler effect and a wide-based antenna system it is able to produce a considerĆ
ably more precise azimuth signal. DVOR radio navigation installations are used mainly where the geoĆ
graphical conditions are difficult.
The principle on which the (D)VOR operates is based on the measurement of the phase angle of two
30 Hz signals radiated by the station. One signal (reference signal) is radiated with the same phase
in all directions. For the second 30 Hz signal (variable signal), the phase relationship relative to the
first signal changes as a function of the azimuth. The electric phase angle measured in the airborne
receiver corresponds to the azimuth angle.
Using the VOR receiver installed in his aircraft the pilot is able to obtain the following information from
a DVOR or VOR radio navigation installation:
1. The azimuth indication of the aircraft's position relative to the ground beacon, i.e. the angle beĆ
tween magnetic North and the direction ground beacon to aircraft.
2. The bearing which indicates whether the aircraft is flying to the left or right of the preselected course
(position line) or whether it is exactly on it.
3. The "from/to" indication which shows whether the aircraft is flying toward the (D)VOR beacon or
away from it.
The aircraft position is marked by the intersection of two position lines, which can be obtained by
switching the VOR airborne receiver consecutively to the frequencies of two CVOR or DVOR beacons
(C=Conventional, D=Doppler). To evaluate the indications only a map is required, and the knowlĆ
edge of the CVOR or DVOR positions and a CVOR/DVOR frequency chart. In addition, a VOR beacon
can be approached on a homing flight using the CDI instrument (Course Deviation Indicator) or with
help of an automatic flight management system.

DVOR 432
General Information Equipment Description
The main features of the Navaids family in general and the DVOR 432 in particular are as follows:
- Available as single or dual equipment with power up to 50 W or 100 W

- advanced technology "state of the art", in conformance with ICAO standards
- Antenna configuration: 50 sideband antennas with DSB radiation, having a minimum of distortion
on the 9960 Hz subcarrier
- High signal quality and long time stability of transmitted signals, real time monitoring
- Microprocessor controlled transmitter: Generation of sinusoidal modulation signals and control
of amplitude and phase of the RF signals, therefore no readjustment necessary
- Microprocessor controlled monitoring system: internal and field sensing points providing the input
to the monitoring process. Monitoring signals are sampled and computed by means of Discrete
Fourier Transforms (DFT) and evaluated by the processor of the MSP.
- Optional: nextfield monitor provision implementation which allows the evaluation of the DVOR-
signal received by a nextfield dipole at the counterpoise edge.
- BITE routine permits continuous, automatic testing of the installation with measurement of trends.
Automatic fault diagnostic to LRU level (LRU=Line Replaceable Unit).
- Modular design, extensive common use of subassemblies within the Navaids 400 family. All transĆ
mitter and monitor subassemblies including power supply (BCPS) are housed in the same cabinet.
With DVOR a separate cabinet for the Antenna Switching Unit (ASU) is added. This ASU cabinet
also houses the BCPS-modules for DVOR versions >50 W.
- Local LCD display and control panel for system status indication, basic controls and measurement
data indication of transmitter and monitor. Manual key lock and enable/disable function for operaĆ
tion modes.
- Standard PC used as local or remote interface (via RMMC) between the system and the operator
for first setup, operation and maintenance: All signal parameter settings and monitor alarm limits
can be entered by a menu driven supervisory program (e.g. ADRACS). The status (overall and deĆ
tailed) as well as all measured data can be displayed or printed.
- Central remote control and monitoring possibility using the RMMC system (Remote Monitoring
and Maintenance Configuration) at any distance (e.g. dial-up line and auto-dialling). Hence
drastic reduction in maintenance effort. The remote equipment is self testing and signalizes failure
or line interruption.
The DVOR system can be combined with a DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) to form a DVOR/
DME station. Then an aircraft can determine its position by referring to the location of a single DVOR/
DME station.
The DVOR equipment can be supplied already installed in a 10 ft container shelter. The DVOR-antenĆ
na system is mounted on a counterpoise optionally available in different heights as made necessary
depending on local conditions.

1.2 DVOR/VOR PRINCIPLE
1.2.1 General
Todays airway network is marked by a number of CVOR and DVOR ground beacons operating in the
108...118 MHz frequency range and having a transmission range of up to 300 km (optical propagation
characteristics of VHF). CVOR/DVOR produces an azimuth information which enables the pilot of an
aircraft to fly from one (D)VOR station to another on a preselected course. Deviations from this course
are indicated by an instrument giving the information "fly to the right" or "fly to the left" and also a
"to/from" indication showing whether the aircraft is flying toward the beacon or away from it. The basic
arrangement of a DVOR installation is shown in Fig. 1-2.

1.2.2 Navigation Signal Parameters
As the basis for the explanation of the DVOR method, first the principle of the VOR method is deĆ
scribed.
1.2.2.1 VOR Method
The RF signal radiated by a VOR is modulated by two 30 Hz sinewaves. Both 30 Hz signals have a
certain phase relationship, which is dependent on the direction from which the signal is received. The
phase relationship is identical to the geographical angle between North and the direction of the airĆ
craft relative to the ground beacon (azimuth). One of the two 30 Hz oscillations is irrespective of the
azimuth (reference signal), whilst the phase relationship of the second 30 Hz oscillation to the referĆ
ence signal varies with the azimuth (variable signal). The reference signal and the variable signal are
modulated in different ways.
The direction-independent (reference) signal frequency modulates a subcarrier of f0 ±9960 Hz with
a frequency shift of ±480 Hz. The subcarrier is then radiated as amplitude modulation of the carrier
f0 with 30 % modulation depth by a horizontally polarised antenna with omni-directional characterisĆ
tics. In addition, the carrier f0 is modulated with an identity code (1020 Hz) as well as with voice
(300...3000 Hz).
The direction-dependent (variable) signal is radiated by 2 crossed dipoles. The crossed dipoles reĆ
ceive sideband signals from the two sideband transmitters with a 90° phase difference in the enveĆ
lope. The carrier of the sideband signals is suppressed. This results in a signal-in-space with a "figĆ
ure-eight pattern" rotating 30 times per second.
Since the carrier f0 is radiated by an antenna with omnidirectional characteristics, the superposition
of the carrier and the 30 Hz sidebands in the field - if the phase is correctly set - produces a pure
amplitude modulation, with the phase of the resulting 30 Hz signal being dependent on the azimuth,
related to the 30 Hz reference signal.

DVOR 432
1.2.2.2 DVOR Method

See Fig. 1-3 to 1-7.
In the DVOR the functions of the two 30-Hz oscillations have been interchanged as compared with
the conventional VOR. This means that the 30-Hz oscillation which amplitude-modulates the VHF
carrier now acts as the reference signal, whilst the directional, frequency-modulated 30 Hz oscillation
(variable signal) is contained in the 9960 Hz subcarrier. The carrier oscillation is transmitted omnidirecĆ
tionally by a stationary center antenna. It is amplitude-modulated with the voice (300...3000 Hz) and
the identity code in addition to the 30 Hz reference signal. The 9960 Hz subcarrier signal is transmitted
by a sideband radiator, which can be considered to be rotating along a circular path. The radiated
sideband frequency is offset by +9960 Hz or -9960 Hz with respect to the carrier frequency. If the
sideband radiator rotates with a frequency of 30 Hz, the Doppler effect will cause the subcarrier to
be frequency-modulated as a function of the azimuth.
A circle with radius "R" of 7.5...6.5 m is required in the frequency range from 108 to 118 MHz, in order
to obtain the frequency deviation of ±480 Hz stipulated by the ICAO. The equation for determining
"R" is derived from the formula for the Doppler effect.
The different methods used to generate the two 30 Hz signals in the VOR and DVOR is of equipment-
internal significance only. The VOR receiver installed in the aircraft has no means of determining exterĆ
nally whether the received signal originates from a VOR or DVOR ground station. However the DVOR
permits a considerably more precise azimuth specification thanks to the wide-base antenna system
which can be realized only by utilisation of the Doppler effect. The two 30 Hz signals have a particular
phase relationship with respect to one another and with respect to magnetic north in accordance with
the azimuth. With an azimuth angle of 0° (North) the phase angle between the two signals is 0°. With
an azimuth angle of 180° (South) the phase angle is 180°, with an azimuth angle of 90° (East) it is
90° and with an azimuth angle of 270° (West) it is 270°. The radio reference lines, along which the
azimuth angle remains constant, are radial with respect to the DVOR installation. Fig. 1-3 shows the
phase relationship which is obtained between the reference signal and the direction-dependent sigĆ
nal in various directions.

1.2.2.2.1 Doppler Effect and Direction-Dependent FM
Fig. 1-4 shows generation of direction-dependent frequency modulation with the aid of the Doppler
effect. If omnidirectional antenna A is orbiting mechanically in an anticlockwise direction, the frequenĆ
cy measured by the two observers B1 and B2 will be increased or reduced due to the Doppler effect
(providing the diameter "D" is negligible as compared with the distance of the observers from the sysĆ
tem), depending on whether the antenna is moving towards the observers or away from them. The
frequency change Df is a function of the orbiting speed or the orbiting frequency fn, the diameter "D"
of the orbit and the mean radiated wavelength l0. The relationship is expressed as follows:
f+p D fn
l0
If antenna A begins its orbit at point 1 and continues via 2 and 3 to 4, the frequencies received by the
two observers B1 and B2 will change as a function of time. If a reference signal with the same frequenĆ
cy is transmitted at the same time by an omnidirectional, central antenna M, the phase angle between
the reference signal (of antenna M) and the changing frequency (of antenna A) will be in proportion
to the azimuth (observer's position), i.e. the phase relationship of signal M and A with respect to one
another is a function of the azimuth. The reference point is magnetic north (point 1), where both sigĆ
nals are in-phase.

Fig. 1-4 Generation of the direction-dependent FM
It can be seen from the frequency spectrum (Fig. 1-5) that the azimuth-dependent frequency moduĆ
lation of the DVOR is located on the subcarrier f1= 9960 Hz. The two sidebands (f0+f1) and (f0 - f1)
are generated separately in the DVOR transmitter for this purpose, and radiated via "rotating" outer
antennas. The powers and phase relationships of the sidebands with respect to the carrier are set
such that when added in the farfield an amplitude-modulated composite signal re-emerges.
Ed. 01.04 1-5

DVOR 432
If the outer antennas for the two sidebands are then allowed to orbit in an anticlockwise direction, but
with their phases reversed, the requirement for frequency modulation of the sidebands in the double
sideband mode is fulfilled automatically, namely that an increase in the frequency in the upper sideĆ
band must be coupled with a lowering of the frequency in the lower sideband and vice versa.
The depth of modulation of the individual frequencies can be adjusted within certain limits.The values
which apply for the normal cases are:
- 30 Hz navigation signal 30 %
- 9960 Hz auxiliary carrier 30 %
- Voice 30 %
- Identity code 10 %

1.2.2.2.2 Electronic Simulation of the Antenna Movement

See Fig. 1-7.
The subcarrier frequency deviation of ±480 Hz and the carrier frequency range of 108...118 MHz are
the same as with the conventional VOR. Taking a mean carrier frequency of 113 MHz (l= 2.65 m) the
equation below reveals that the orbit must have a diameter of 13.5 m:

DVOR 432
The orbital movement of the sideband signals at an orbiting frequency of 30 Hz is best implemented
by electronic means. 50 fixed, equidistant single antennas are installed on the orbit for this purpose.
They are fed in sequence via an antenna switching unit such that the focal point of radiation orbits
at the desired velocity.
If the double sideband method is used (f0+f1 and f0-f1), the two sidebands whose focal points of
radiation are orbiting in the same direction are transmitted by antennas opposite one another on the
orbital path. To achieve this effect the antenna switching unit activates sideband antenna 1 with the
upper sideband (f0+9960 Hz) and sideband antenna 26 with the lower sideband (f0-9960 Hz) simulĆ
taneously (Fig. 1-7a). When antennas 1 and 26 reach their radiation peak, the adjacent antennas
2 and 27 are activated. As soon as these reach their radiation peak, the upper sideband of antenna
1 is switched to 3 and simultaneously the lower sideband of antenna 26 is switched to 28 (Fig. 1-7b).
This method of activation of the sideband antennas and the modulation of the sideband signals result
in a continuous, almost smooth orbiting of the focal points of radiation of the upper and lower sideĆ
bands.

1.2.3 Monitoring
According to ICAO, Annex 10 all navigation systems must be permanently monitored for correct radiĆ
ation by an independently operating monitoring system.
In the case of the DVOR this signal monitoring is performed by one or two monitors, whereby signal
components are obtained via equipment-internal coupling circuits and one (or two) monitor dipoles,
and supplied to the monitor.
In case of dual monitoring these are split by the monitor divider switch and transferred to the two moniĆ
tors, whereby the monitor 1 signal processing is driven by monitor signal processor 1 and the monitor
2 by monitor signal processor 2 in order to select the various signals in accordance with a specified
control sequence. The actual values of the signals are compared with nominal values by the procesĆ
sor. Any deviation from the nominal values exceeding specified tolerance thresholds always leads to
an alarm and to an automatic switchover to the standby transmitter or shut down of the system.
As option a nextfield monitor facility instead or in addition to the nearfield monitor is available.

1.3.8 Notes on "Standby" operational Mode

The NAVAIDS Technical Manuals distinguish between the hot standby and cold standby operating
states as follows:
" Hot Standby
- Both transmitters are in operation - i.e. one transmitter is connected by means of a command to
the antenna (aerial), the second is connected to a dummy load (standby).
In NORMAL operation mode the Monitor Bypass is off. If the radiating transmitter fails, the system
automatically switches the antenna to the standby transmitter. The switch over time is 20 ms.
ILS installations are generally operated in the hot standby mode.
" Cold Standby
- One transmitter (TX1 or TX2) is in operation (i.e. connected to antenna or to dummy load), the secĆ
ond is switched off by means of a command.
If the radiating transmitter fails, the monitor and controller ensure connection and initialisation of
the standby transmitter and antenna switch-over. This process takes about 6 seconds.
VOR and DVOR installations are generally operated in the cold standby mode.
REMARK: The desired standby mode can be selected by means of a SW command. A modification
can be easily performed. For VOR/DVOR the "Hot Standby" is only available in MainteĆ
nance mode. It is not available for operational mode.
1.3.9 Conformity and Licensing Approval
The DVOR 432 device of the Navaids air navigation system complies with the requirements of EC
Guideline 89/336/EEC in its implementation.
Individually, the device fulfills the requirements of the following EMC Guidelines:
- EN 55022 Ed. 1998 Interference Transmittal, Class B

1.4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.4.1 Operating at the Device
The supply voltage should always be disconnected by actuating switch TX1 or TX2 on the PMM subĆ
assembly before removing a subassembly or a plug-in connection in order to avoid injury to persons
or subsequent damage to subassemblies (for exceptions see Part 2, Operation and Maintenance,
Chapter 6).
WARNING
Mains subunit ACC (BCPS): The device should be disconnected from the mains before
commencing maintenance or installation operations.
The heat sinks of the modulators (MOD-110P) and of the carrier amplifier (CA-100C)
may warm up during operation. This is normal and does not have any affect on the funcĆ
tioning of the devices. Avoid touching the heat-sinks when the cabinet door has been
opened for any reason. When replacing this subassemblies it is recommended to let
them cool down for a while or take suitable measures (e.g. gloves). When replacing the
subassemblies SYN and CCP avoid touching the heat sinks of the MOD-110P.
1.4.2 Handling Subassemblies
When replacing subassemblies and plug-in cards containing electrostatically sensitive compoĆ
nents, special precautionary measures should be taken during removal, transport and installation in
order to prevent damage to the components.
PCB's containing electrostatically sensitive components are marked with this symbol:
This type of damage may be caused when the person performing the subassembly replacement
bears a static charge due to friction with an insulated floor covering or with synthetic articles of clothĆ
ing (eg. soles) and the charge is transferred to the terminals of the MOS components.
In order to avoid this, positive contact should be made between tsystem ground and the hand before
and during removal or insertion of the subassembly. Any body charge is then discharged to the sysĆ
tem ground. When the subassembly has been removed, the short-circuit bar provided should be
connected to the connector strip, and the subassembly placed in a special container or envelope.
When the subassembly is inserted the appropriate procedure should be followed. The sequence is
described below:
- Discharge the body by touching the system ground with both hands,
- Remove the subassembly from the special container,
- Remove the short-circuit bar from the subassembly,
- Touch the device ground,
- Insert the subassembly, if possible whilst retaining contact with the device ground.
Further instructions on this type of safety measure can be found in the Technical Manual, Part 2.

DVOR 432
1.4.3 Handling Lead Batteries
WARNING
Before starting up a battery, i.e. before filling an empty battery with acid, the relevant inĆ
structions in Part 2 should always be observed.
Protective goggles should be worn for all maintenance operations which involve opening the acid
screw caps. Any acid which spatters should be removed immediately from the clothing by washing
with water or any soda solution (100 g soda to 1 l water) on account of its highly caustic effect. PenetraĆ
tion of soda or soda solution into the cells should be avoided at all costs.
When the emergency battery is charged up during mains operation oxyhydrogen gas can result from
the decomposition of the water. For this reason the ventilation holes on the outside of the battery box
should not be sealed.
1.4.4 Components with Beryllium Oxide Ceramic
Some subassemblies in NAVAIDS installations are equipped with transistors containing beryllium
oxide. These transistors are in accordance with the latest state of the art and are used all over the
world.
The ceramic components with beryllium oxide incorporated in the transistors are completely harmĆ
less in a solid, compact state. The transistors mentioned in the table should never be dismantled or
shattered. Please take notice that if any of these transistors are opened, care should be taken to avoid
any beryllium oxide dust being produced as this is harmful to health.
This notice should also be observed when the components are scrapped or disposed of.
Beryllium oxide is contained in the high-power transistors listed below:

1.4.5 Using Lithium Batteries
Always read the label on the battery. Thales ATM recommends only those with lithium copper oxide.
Other types of lithium battery, e.g. those with lithium sulphur dioxide, are not approved by Thales ATM
for use in navigation systems (see also instructions in Part 2, Operating and Maintenance, Chapter
6).
WARNING
Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C or incinerate any lithium cell. Do not
short-circuit the cell or solder directly on it. Disregard of the norms regarding the use of
lithium batteries may cause the risk of fire, explosion and the leakage of toxic liquid and
gas. Run-down batteries are objects that can pollute the environment and must be disĆ
posed of taking the proper precautions.
1.4.6 Miscellaneous
During thunderstorms work outside the shelter or on the antenna system is not allowed due to the
risk of lightning.
1.4.7 Observation of Safety Regulations
In addition to the above-mentioned instructions for avoiding damage and injury, locally valid safety
regulations should always be observed.

Equipment Description Functional Description
1.5 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1.5.1 General
The Navaids system consists of hardware based on RF and AF subassemblies and of software which
controls the hardware to a large extent. The system is subdivided into the following units:
- Transmitter in dual or single version (TX1, TX2)

- Monitor in dual or single version (MSP1, MSP2)
- Local/Remote Communication Interface (LRCI)
- Power supply
- Antenna Switching Unit (ASU)
- Antenna system
Transmitter and monitor are controlled by own individual microprocessors. Both communicate via the
LRCI. The transmitter processor performs the following tasks:
- Digital signal generation

- Control/adjustment of amplitude (envelope), RF phase and phase polarity
- Calculation of the settings for the transmitter subassemblies
- Communication
The monitor processor performs the following tasks:
- Processing and evaluation of the signals of the field dipole(s)

- Execution of suitable actions in case of fault detection (station changeover or shut down)
- Ensuring of its own performance independent of environmental conditions and component
aging
The Navaids software packages (i.e. transmitter SW, monitor SW, LRCI SW and ADRACS) looks after
and supports the most important tasks as follows:
- Startup (alignment and calibration of the antenna system and the navigation system)
- Modulation and transmitter control
- Signal generation
- Monitoring the navigation signal
- Support in system repair and maintenance
- Operation of the system (local/remote)
1.5.2 Brief Description

See Fig. 1-9.
Fig. 1-9 shows the basic structure of a DVOR system. Transmitter and monitor are dualized, whereby
each monitor monitors the aerial transmitter. The remaining subassemblies in the signal path of the
transmitter are not dualized. These are mostly components which cannot be practically dualized,
such as RF duplexer, Antenna Switching Unit, the antennas and cables and the main passive compoĆ
nents which are inherently reliable.
Ed. 01.04 1-19

DVOR 432
Functional Description Equipment Description
Each transmitter comprises an RF section, in which the carrier frequency is generated, modulated
and amplified to the output power level, and the Modulation Signal Generator, which generates the
modulation signals controlled by its microprocessor, carries out the evaluation for control of the signal
shape (amplitude/phase) and supplies control signals to the RF section. Each transmitter has a sepaĆ
rate power supply. If one transmitter fails, the other remains operational. The RF Duplexer supplies
the signal of one transmitter to the antennas via the Antenna Switching Unit, while the output power
of the standby transmitter is switched to a dummy load. Amplitude and phase are controlled such that
the specified signal-in-space pattern is obtained. The two monitors monitor the generated and raĆ
diated DVOR signal directly by one (or two) nearfield dipole(s). As an option up to three nextfield diĆ
poles located at the counterpoise edge can be used instead of the nearfield dipole..
The monitor consists of the Monitor Signal Processor, which ensures of correct radiation of the signal.
It evaluates the signals of the internal sensors and the field dipole(s). The selected RF signals are amĆ
plified, normalized to a certain level, demodulated, filtered and converted to individual, digital values.
The Monitor Signal Processor evaluates the measured values by means of a Fourier analysis and
compares them with the reference values. The monitor changes over or shuts down the transmitter,
if a limit is exceeded. The results can be read out and interpreted locally or remotely via a connected
PC equipped with the suitable software (e.g. ADRACS). A simple status indication is displayed on the
local indication panel. The monitors exchange status signals. If one monitor fails, the intact monitor
decides immediately without waiting for a response from the other. This ensures that the monitors
react fast and correctly in all situations, even if one of them fails. The transmitters and the monitors
are independent of one another. Depending on the stipulated safety class, either one or two monitors
are provided.
The LRCI makes available the following interfaces:
- Communications of the individual functional groups
- Controls for the equipment
- local display and local control of the equipment for the operator
- Remote control functions
All relevant data or parameters can be set locally or remotely via an intelligent terminal (PC/Laptop).
A change-over or shut down is also possible. For integrity reasons data entry (input/change) is only
possible in the maintenance mode (monitors bypassed). Access to the system is barred by a passĆ
word procedure with different security levels. The software to be used is referred to as ADRACS.
The battery-charging power supply (BCPS) supplies the entire system with the DC supply voltage
(nom. 48 V). The BCPS can be connected to a mains input voltage in the range from nominal 115 VAC
to 230 VAC. A floating battery connected in parallel ensures that the power supply is uninterruptible.
The BCPS applies the correct voltage required to keep the batteries fully charged. The construction
of the BCPS is modular, with a building-block concept allowing up to four 11 A modules.
Up to three modules (usually provided) are allowed to be used for a mains voltage of 115 VAC with
the normal wiring concept. For a 115 Vac supply with four modules provided, standard mains wiring
has to be adapted concerning diameter of supply cables, size of mains terminals and mains filter.
1.5.3 Peripheral Subassemblies

The main switch on the PMM (Power Management Module) switches on directly the power supply for
both monitors and the LRCI.

1.6 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSMITTER
This functional description of the transmitter provides an introduction to the signal generation and
conditioning. It will be of use in understanding the subsequent chapters, since certain relationships
are discussed in advance. Remark: In DVOR, the sidebands SB1, SB2 are assigned to 'USB', 'LSB'.
1.6.1 DVOR-Transmitter Signals for the DVOR Antenna
See Figs. 1-10, 1-11.
The DVOR radiates a radio frequency carrier with which are associated two separate 30 Hz modulaĆ
tions. One of these modulations is such that its phase is independent of the azimuth of the point of
observation (reference phase). The other modulation (variable phase) is such that its phase at the
point of observation differs from that of the reference phase by an angle equal to the bearing of the
point of observation with respect to the DVOR. Compared to a CVOR station for the DVOR system
both 30 Hz modulations are reversed. The conventional VOR is more sensitive for multipath reflecĆ
tions from fixed object, near and distant, such as trees, power lines, buildings and mountains which
rise the bearing errors. The improved radio navigation beacon DVOR relies on the Doppler change
in frequency which would result if a radiation antenna is moved around a large diameter circle. If the
antenna is rotated 30 times a second, the signal at a distant observation point will be frequency moduĆ
lated at a 30 Hz rate. The modulation index is determined by the diameter of the circle.

The effect of a rotating antenna is simulated by using a ring of antennas and switching the RF signal
to each in turn. Provided sufficient antennas are used and the pulse RF energy is suitable shaped,
the simulation is good. The shape of the modulation envelope is called the 'blending function'. The
azimuth-dependent information is contained in the phase of the frequency modulation.
The reference phase of the 30 Hz amplitude modulated carrier signal is radiated from a single antenna
at the center of the ring. The aperture of the Doppler VOR antenna is much more greater than in conĆ
ventional equipments. By virtue of the resulting 'space diversity', effects due to reflections are greatly
reduced. The bearing information is inherently determined by the geometry of the antenna array and
since the Doppler VOR array is large it can be made very stable and accurate.
The DVOR 432 is a Double Sideband DVOR system (DSB DVOR) and is full compatible with all existĆ
ing airborne VOR receivers. In a DSB DVOR system signals 9960 Hz above and below carrier freĆ
quency (Upper Sideband → USB / Lower Sideband → LSB) are radiated simultaneously from 50 sideĆ
band antennas diametrically opposed to the ring. Both sidebands are commutated at 30 Hz in the
same direction.
Ed. 01.04 1-23

DVOR 432
At the receiver, the 9960 Hz signals resulting from the combination of the carrier with each sideband
add in phase. The number 50 got defined to achieve an optimum of signal performance for the 9960
Hz modulation component of the composite DVOR signal.

1.6.2 Signal Generation in the Transmitter of the DVOR 432

See Fig. 1-12, 1-13, 1-14.
The audio modulation signals for the carrier signal are generated digitally in the block Modulation SigĆ
nal Control and Measurement. The signal generation control is done by microprocessor techniques.
Control loops including measurement circuits are used to generate the RF-signals for carrier (CSB),
upper sideband (USB) and lower sideband (LSB) feeding the DVOR antenna system via the Antenna
Switching Unit (ASU). The carrier and sideband frequencies are generated by a synthesizer, which
delivers its output signals to three modulator modules. One modulator together with the carrier ampliĆ
fier (CA-100C) is used to generate the carrier signal with 30 Hz sidebands (CSB). The remaining two
modulators generate USB and LSB. Both sideband output signals of the sideband modulators are
continuous wave (cw = not modulated).
The modulators amplify the RF-frequency signal from the synthesizer and the RF-amplitudes and
envelopes are controlled by the modulation signal generator and control circuits. Bidirectional couĆ
plers are used to get probes of the actual signal amplitude. By comparing the actual signal values
with programmed values within the memory of the microprocessor, the control voltages are derived
by the microprocessor and fed back to the modulator modules. To get the required output power a
carrier amplifier (CA-100) is used to amplify the CSB up to 100 W. The Modulation Signal Control
and Measurement is realized within the DVOR 432 equipment with the modules Modulation Signal
Generator (MSG) and Control Coupler (CCP). The kind of realization is described below.

The sideband signal blending modulation and antenna switching control is implemented by the
DVOR Antenna Switching Unit (ASU). The signal processing of the ASU has the task to process the
USB and LSB cw signals in a form to get the required feeding signal for the even and odd sideband
antennas. The basic signal processing concept for one sideband (USB) is shown in Fig. 1-13. The
signal processing for the second sideband is identical. In addition the phase relation USB to LSB with
respect to the carrier is measured for phase control purposes. Antenna Switching Modules are used
to commutate the blended sideband signal to the sideband antennas. The blending function itself is
optimized to get a smooth transition and a minimum of spurious modulation on the 9960 Hz amplitude
modulation.

DVOR 432
For simplification, the selected complex blending functions are defined here as a cosine and a sinuĆ
soidal waveform (cos and sin). With respect to one sideband (e.g. LSB), cos-blending is used for
the odd and sin-blending for the even antennas. The commutation to the second antenna is actiĆ
vated at the minimum of the blending function. The realization in form of a block diagram is shown
in Fig. 1-14. Modular designed Antenna Switching Modules (ASM) in form of 2P5T-switches are
used to commutate the RF signals to the 50 sideband antennas. Four ASM are used to multiplex the
blended USB- and LSB-signals. Five ASM for the even and another five ASM for the odd sideband
aerials are connected to the aerial via the feeding cables. The sin-blended USB-signals and cos-
blended LSB-signals are radiated from the odd sideband antennas. The cos-blended USB-signals
and sin-blended LSB-signals are radiated from the even antennas. The carrier antenna in the center
of the ring has the number 51 (A51). The Blending Modulators (MOD-SBB) are based on an absorpĆ
tive modulation concept. PIN-diodes are used to modulate the sideband signals in a way to keep
the VSWR at the input and output constant at an impedance of 50 Ω. The Phase- and Monitoring
Control module (PMC-D) is used to extract the differential RF phase. Due to the number of 2 times
25 sideband aerials, the commutation clock must be 750 Hz and is generated on the Antenna Switch
Control board (ASC-D).
Each ASM-D-module gets its switch commands from the ASC-D. The switch commands generĆ
ated by frequency counters on the ASC-D are synchronized by a 30 Hz signal coming from the MSG
of the active transmitter and are synchronized with the 30 Hz AM on the carrier signal.
The digital generated blending waveforms (sin/cos) for the MOD-SBB are produced on the Blending
Signal Generator board (BSG). The blending function is stored in an EPROM which is addressed for
readout by a frequency counter. With control data coming from the µP of the Modulation Signal GenerĆ
ator via the ASU-Interface board (ASU-INT) the amplitudes of the four different blending signals are
adjusted during installation to get the correct 9960 Hz amplitude modulation in the radiated farfield
of the DVOR station.

1.6.3 Digital controlled Transmitter RF-Signal Generation
1.6.3.1 Basic Concept
See Fig. 1-15.
A frequency synthesizer module for the frequency range from 108 MHz to 118 MHz generates the RF-
frequencies of the specified frequency channel in conformance with the international standards of
ICAO Annex 10 Volume I. For the DSB DVOR, the carrier frequency as well as upper and lower sideĆ
band frequencies have to be generated. An RF-Modulator modulates and amplifies the synthesizer
output signal according to the system power requirements. The modulator has control inputs for
- the amplitude (envelope),
- the RF-phase and
- the polarity of the RF-phase.
The control signals of the modulator are generated under the supervision of a microprocessor (µP
Intel 80186) which has the ideal 30 Hz reference signal stored in its program memory. For the DVOR
sideband signals the dc control voltage for the cw RF output power is loaded into a data register. Also
the sideband RF phase control voltage is set via a data register. At the output of the RF-Modulator
a directional coupler couples out at the incident port a probe (-20 dB) of the output signal which is
fed to the ASU. The incident signal gets amplitude demodulated and A/D-converted with a defined
fixed sampling rate for further processing by the microprocessor. The actual measured signal paramĆ
eter under control (amplitude) is compared against the operator programmed reference data.

1.6.3.2 Sideband Signal Control

For the DVOR system three different RF signals have to be generated and controlled (see table 1).
With the aid of an RF-multiplexer at the input of the circuits for the precision amplitude detection the
same circuits are used for all three transmitter signals. While the reference value for the amplitude
control is a defined selectable voltage, the reference value of the phase is a selected - system defined
- phase difference between the vector sum of the carrier signal to the upper sideband (USB) and the
vector sum carrier signal to lower sideband (LSB).
Ed. 01.04 1-27

DVOR 432
The differential phase measurement is executed in the DVOR ASU by a time interval counter, which
counts the 9960 Hz phase difference between the down-converted USB- and LSB-9960 Hz sigĆ
nals. During installation of the DVOR the RF-phase gets aligned and is than controlled to this aligned
phase value by the µP of the MSG. The control procedure is such, that only the RF-phase of the USB
is controlled while the phase of the LSB-signal is set to the midpoint of the control voltage of the
analog phase shifter of the MOD-110. The DVOR-signals with the quantizing used for the digital
signal generation are shown in the table below.

Table 1 DVOR-signals to the ASU
The DVOR sideband signals USB and LSB generated by the transmitter are single sideband signals
(SSB-signals). The RF frequencies are 9960 Hz offset from the carrier frequency. Adding finally the
signal processed USB- and LSB-signals to the carrier in the radiated field, the double sideband
DVOR signal is generated.
1.6.3.3 Carrier Signal Generation

See Fig. 1-16.
In addition to the circuit shown in Fig. 1-15 used for the amplitude and phase control of USB and
LSB the feedback loop for the Carrier Signal is realized as an analog control circuit. A control amplifier
(part of the Modulator 110) receives the detected output signal and delivers the control voltage acĆ
cording to the digital controlled reference input to the modulator. This analog control is necessary
due to the characteristic of the voice signal which is not periodic.
The Random Access Memory has stored the 30 Hz-periodic DVOR reference signal with the defined
30 Hz AM, the data for the identity signal (ID) are also loaded into a RAM and gets amplitude controlled
by the multiplying D/A-Converter, and both signals are added together by the summing amplifier.
In configurations where a voice signal is specified, also the level-controlled voice signal is added.
While the sideband signals USB and LSB have only the cw-modulation the carrier signal has besides
the 30 Hz AM reference signal in addition an amplitude modulation for the coded station identity signal
and optional with a voice signal (ground to air communication).The various modulation signals being
individual controlled in its amplitude (multiplying D/A-converter) are added together and build the
reference for the analog control loop for the carrier envelope.
The synchronism of the carrier AM signal to the sideband commutation of the ASU is achieved by a
30 Hz trigger signal to the ASU. The control procedure for the carrier RF-phase is not shown in Fig.
1-16. The carrier RF-phase is also controlled like the amplitude by an analog feedback loop. The
RF-reference signal (shown in Fig. 1-15) is used within the control coupler module to get the zero
IF-signal of the output of the carrier amplifier. The amplitude of this zero IF-signal will only be zero
volt, if the carrier signal is in phase quadrature to the RF-reference signal. This criteria is used to conĆ
trol the carrier RF-phase.

With the kind of digital signal processing described before with high resolution A/D-converters and
D/A-converters (12 bits) the RF transmitter signals have optimal performance data with respect to:
- the audio phase and audio frequency accuracy and stability,
- the stability of the amplitudes for carrier and sideband signals,
- the RF-phase and frequency accuracy and stability and
- the distortion factor.
1.6.4 Modulation Control Realization with Microprocessor Techniques

See Fig. 1-17.
The control procedure is implemented by the use of a microprocessor, type Intel 80186. As described
before the way to achieve the real time control is the application of an addressing counter which conĆ
trols the readout of all the Random Access Memories (RAM) for the carrier modulation signal generaĆ
tion. The data content of the RAM defines the actual amplitude for the cell being addressed by the
address counter and the clock for the address counter is a binary multiple of 30 Hz (218 S 30 Hz). For
the DVOR, the waveform is a 30 Hz sinewave the signal is according to Fig. 1-17. The data content
of the RAMs for the modulation signals are fixed for the analog controlled carrier signals. The purpose
of the continuous modulation control updating is to compensate nonlinearities of the semiconductors
used to generate the transmitter signals. The nonlinearities would result in distortions and the generaĆ
tion of undesired harmonics of the audio signals. As described before, the DVOR transmitter generĆ
ates signals as shown in the table 2 below.

The control process is implemented in time multiplex mode for the individual signals, with measureĆ
ments and data register updates of control data in a sequence of:
- Carrier RF-phase (measurement only)

- USB-amplitude
- LSB-amplitude
- USB-phase (differential phase correction)
Besides the sideband modulation control function the microprocessor of the Modulation Signal GenĆ
erator controls also the measurements of various internal signals of the transmitter as a Built-In Test-
function (BIT-function). The signal measurements are accomplished by the same A/D-Converters
as used for the modulation control signals. To achieve this, in front of the A/D-Converter an analog
multiplexer is used to select the desired signal. The BIT check against BIT warning limits gives an indiĆ
cation of non normal functional performance and allows to optimize maintenance and eases fault
location of defective modules. The processor internal BIT-check is executed interrupt controlled 5
times per second. In addition with 1 ms intervals the ID coding is controlled.
Since amplitude measurements of the sideband signals close to the zero crossings are inaccurate,
the control voltage is linearized by a special sw-routine in these zones. Starting at fixed interpolation
point addresses to the left and right of a zero crossing, it draws a straight line through the crossing
(i.e. it replaces the sine with its argument).
The procedure for phase control is similar, since the actual values available in the zero crossing region
are likewise inaccurate. Here, the control voltage is formed with the aid of interpolated values to the
left and right of the crossing. Since the amplitude-dependent phase shift in the modulator is small,
the phase control voltage only needs to be pre-distorted slightly.

reference frequency is 20 MHz, which is divided by 400 to get the desired value for the frequency deĆ

the USB and LSB frequencies. The data for the requested frequency channel is delivered via a serial

In the case of application as sideband modulator the output signal is fed directly to the RF-Duplexer
(RFD). Within the module RFD the aerial port has a low path filter to suppress the carrier harmonics.
In the case of application as a carrier modulator the output feeds the carrier amplifier (CA-100C),
where the signal processing consists in amplification only (gain ≈ 14 dB).

The control coupler for the DVOR has the function to demodulate the envelopes of the RF-carrier

For the analog control loops, the carrier signal is divided for the precision amplitude demodulation
and for the phase detector. The carrier phase control loop uses the fact, that only signals being in
quadrate at mixer inputs (LO, RF) delivers zero volt at its IF-output.

1.7 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR

This functional description of the monitor provides a introduction to the monitoring concept. It will be
of use in understanding the subsequent chapters, since certain relationships are discussed in adĆ
vance.
1.7.1 Overview
See Fig. 1-22.
The monitor has two functions. The first is to detect impermissible signal changes in the field by moniĆ
toring actual field signals. If an incorrect navigational signal is detected, the monitor switches over
to the standby transmitter or shuts the system down if no standby system is available. The second
is to ensure that varying environmental conditions and component aging do not influence the perĆ
formance of the monitor itself (fail-safe behavior). The monitoring process is implemented by hard-
and software-modules. The RF-signal (from field sensor) is amplified, normalized to a defined level
and demodulated by a precision detector. Before sampling (the sampling rate is 960 Hz) and D/A-
conversion the composite video signal is filtered to avoid aliasing in the Discrete Fourier Filter algoĆ
rithm (DFT) of the monitor processor which follows. By the filter-algorithm the dc-component and
the modulation components of the navigational frequencies are extracted. By comparison with proĆ
grammed and stored alarm limits the components are checked for in tolerance or out-of-tolerance.
If the parameter is out-of-tolerance an alarm condition is detected and the executive action
(switch-over or shut-down) is initiated
Automatic Monitoring of the radiated signal is provided to continuously monitor and initiate executive
action to change over to standby or to close down as appropriate when certain tolerances are exĆ
ceeded. The parameter to be monitored are as follows:
- azimuth
- amplitude modulation depth of 30 Hz AM
- amplitude modulation depth of 9960 Hz AM
- frequency deviation of 30 Hz FM
- carrier level and
- availability and correctness of identity Morse coded tone
- carrier frequency
- radiation of all sideband aerials

1.7.2 Monitor Sensors for the DVOR
See Fig. 1-23.
A suitable sensor position for the DVOR system is a nearfield Yagi antenna located >100m offset from
the DVOR counterpoise (typically 200 m). Usually one monitor sensor in a dualized monitor system
is used only; its signal is distributed between the two monitors in equal parts by means of an RF power
divider. As an option a nextfield monitoring capability is available.

1.7.3 Processing of the monitor signal

See Figs. 1-24, 1-25, 1-26, 1-27.
The monitor antenna signal is supplied via a RF-bandpass filter (108 to 118 MHz) with steep edges
to an amplifier with a processor-controlled attenuator. This controlled amplifier amplifies the RF level
up to 6 dBm. The composite DVOR signal is demodulated by the precision demodulator, whereby
the DC and AC signal components map ideally the level and modulation depth of the received monitor
antenna signal. The bias voltages of the detector-diodes are compensated and do not falsify the
measurement of the modulation depth of the signal parameters. The straight forward amplifier design
provides the maximum possible gain stability.
The different modulation signal components have to be extracted out of the composite video signal.
The extraction is accomplished by hard- and software modules. The hardware modules to extract
the signal components are:
- 150 Hz Low pass filter (LLZ) for DC- and 30 Hz components

- 10 kHz High pass filter with peak rider for 9960 Hz modulation depth

- 1020 Hz Filter with peak rider for Identity Tone (ID)
Due to the design specification the Monitor Signal Processor for the VOR and the Doppler VOR is
identical and provisions are provided for the DVOR antenna monitoring. First the processor-conĆ
trolled analog switch (Multiplexer1) selects one of the two signal sources (measurement signal or test
generator signal) for the following hardware processing.

The following signal components (Fig. 1-25) after the hardware processing are fed to the Multiplexer
2 and selected for further processing by the microprocessor:
- DC- and 30 Hz AM component,
- Envelope of 9960 Hz subcarrier,
- 30 Hz FM (reference signal) and
- Identity tone (ID)
A single-pole 60 Hz low pass filter allows the non attenuated signal flow only of signal components
having a frequency of 60 Hz or lower. In addition to the signals to be monitored, the Multiplexer 3 is
also used to select and to measure test signals for equipment BIT. Mainly the supply voltages of the
transmitter 1 and 2 are a/d-converted and evaluated.

The further processing to extract signal components is accomplished by software. The next filter to
extract the signal components to be monitored is implemented by a Discrete Fourier Transformation

DVOR 432
Each evaluation of a DFT cycle is identical and analyses the 30 Hz (A1) and harmonics (A2 to A5). The
microprocessor system of the MSP stores 32 discrete amplitude values xn for each DFT cycle period
which shall be analyzed. They are used to calculate the complex amplitudes of all the 30 Hz harmonic
frequencies which builds the periodic waveform. The complex e-function shown in Fig. 1-26 is not
used for the calculation, but is instead converted to cos(ωt) and i . sin(ωt), with which the data in the
microprocessor unit is simpler to process. A Fourier analysis is performed with the 32 measured valĆ
ues.
The relationship sin wt + Ǹ1 * cos 2 wt means that the Am calculation (m = 0...5) can be restricted to the
cos values. In order to reduce the number of multiplication operations to a minimum, the symmetrical
properties of the cos function are exploited, leaving only 7 operations:
cos 11.25° ; cos 22.5° ; cos 33.75° ; cos 45° ; cos 56.25° ; cos 67.5° ; cos 78.75°.
These multipliers are stored in the memory as constants. The following calculations are performed:
- RF component, by summing all the measured values (DC component A0 )

- Real and imaginary components from A1 to A5
- A1 , A2 , A3 , A4 and A5
- Azimuth angle q from the fmeas and fref (30 Hz AM vector angle to 30 Hz FM vector angle)
Each DFT cycle has a duration of 64 interrupts (exact two complete 30 Hz periods). The first 32 meaĆ
sured data after the new DFT cycle has been selected are not used for DFT-signal processing, the
time is used to settle. The measurement data defined by interrupts #33 to #64 of a DFT cycle are used
for the signal analysis with a discrete Fourier transformation. Since 32 interrupts correspond to exactly
one 30 Hz period (and 64 interrupts to two 30 Hz periods), the measurements for each channel always
start at the same time with respect to the 30 Hz audio phase. This is important for the azimuth calculaĆ
tion, which takes direct account of the phase of the 30 Hz AM and 30 Hz FM signals. The measurement
and evaluation cycle is designed so that the values measured for the previous channel are evaluated
during the measurement period of the new selected channel. After the Fourier analysis and the evaluaĆ
tion of the measured values of the different channels have been completed, the monitor checks the
results and assesses the radiated parameter. The monitor alarm check is a comparison of calculated
values of the monitor signal parameter against user programmed alarm and warning limits.
The identity signal is verified by measuring the 1020 Hz depth of modulation. Due to the signal strucĆ
ture (Morse code keying) the microprocessor checks dots, dashes and space for correctness.
The carrier frequency is monitored by internal signals in counting the frequency of a prescaler output
signal of the synthesizers in operation.
The complete design of the DVOR ASU is based on a concept in having a 50 Ω-matching with a good
VSWR during all switching conditions of the 30 Hz period. Due to this design the sideband antennas
can be used as receiving aerial for the carrier signal transmitted by the center antenna (A51). With
the arrangement shown in Fig. 1-27 at the mixer output a 9960 Hz signal of the considered sideband
is available. In cases the connection to one sideband aerial is missing the 9960 Hz signal gets a gap
in the signal. The 9960 Hz signals derived from the USB and LSB get analyzed and a missing sideband
antenna gets detected by the monitor signal processor.
To optimize the detection, the signal 'detected USB' minus 'detected LSB' is generated, in which the
30 Hz AM component of both signals is compensated. Thus the DFT of the USB - LSB gives 30 Hz
and harmonic components which are compared against alarm limits.

1.7.4 Monitor Actions at Alarm Conditions

See Fig. 1-28.
In general the monitor actions and functions are divided into
- executive monitoring
- warning monitoring.
To avoid the radiation of false guidance signals the executive monitor initiates in case of an alarm a
switch-over or a shut down of the DVOR system. The monitor shall be fail safe, i.e. a monitor circuit
failure results in an alarm condition.
The warning monitor gives an indication only. The warning indicates that important parameters are
within pre-alarm condition or that less important parameters (parameters considered to be not esĆ
sential for the radiated guidance) have reached their limit. Besides to the monitor warning also mainteĆ
nance warnings are indicated which are derived by the BIT of the transmitter control or the checks
of the LRCI-processor. With a dualized monitor system as shown in Fig. 1-28, both monitors evaluĆ
ate the sensor signals. For an executive monitor action according to the specification EUROCAE ED
57A the dualized monitor configuration may be selectable as
- an OR-function or
- an AND-function.
The switch over or shut down is initiated for the monitor OR-function in case one monitor detects
an alarm independent of the monitoring result of the second monitor system. For the monitor AND-
function both monitor systems must have an alarm condition.
According to EUROCAE ED 57A
1. for the OR-function, a monitor system being faulty the DVOR ceases operation, which decreases
the system availability ,
2. for the AND-function, a faulty monitor system may cause the radiation of an erroneous navigation
signal, which decreases the safety and integrity. To avoid this situation, the 'Extended-AND-funcĆ
tion was created (see below).
Ed. 01.04 1-41

DVOR 432
The monitor performance is checked continuously by evaluating the defined signal of a Test Signal
Generator. The monitor evaluation process is executed in time multiplex mode. For the radiated signal
to be monitored and for the test signal, identical signal processing hard- and software modules are
used.
If the monitor processing has a failure, the defective monitor is declared as faulty and the second monĆ
itor is active only. Thus in case of a dualized monitor system and the OR-function selected the shut
down of the DVOR can be avoided and only a degradation is indicated and transmitted to the mainteĆ
nance center via the remote control system.
Having selected the monitor AND-function and both monitor systems fed with the identical sensor
signal, the monitor results should be similar. However, monitor measurement accuracy tolerances exĆ
ist. Therefore additional extended alarm check tolerances have been introduced for the AN 400 DVOR
monitoring. The procedure is such, that in case one monitor detects parameters above the standard
alarm limits but not exceeding the extended alarm limits, the DVOR stays operational, indicating the
alarm only. If the specific parameter becomes worse the second monitor may also detect the alarm
condition which then activates the switch over/shut down procedure. In case the second monitor deĆ
tects no alarm and the parameter value of the first monitor exceeds the extended alarm limit, the DVOR
is shut down.
To be compliant with the specification EUROCAE ED 57A, the standard AND-function can be configĆ
ured. However for DVOR systems, the 'Extended-And-function' is recommended because it inĆ
creases the system integrity. The monitor configuration OR/AND/Extended-AND can be selected
(refer to PC User Program).

1.8 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION LRCI
1.8.1 Overview
The interfaces requested for the equipment are realized in the Local/Remote Communication InterĆ
face (LRCI). The task of the LRCI is communication with the different functions, controls for the equipĆ
ment, local display and local control of the equipment for the operator, and remote control functions.
The LRCI includes the Local Control Panel (LCP), individual Modem units and the VAM module. These
units are supplied by one of the DC/DC Converter DCC-05. The Modem units enable communication
to the remote site. Modems used for dedicated line or switched line applications are available.
1.8.2 Introduction to the Local Control Panel (LCP)
Each equipment (ILS-LLZ, ILS-GP, CVOR, DVOR) includes the LCP which enables the control of
the LRCI functions and the local control by means of a microprocessor 80386 SX (or TI486), as well
as the status display of the station. It consists of a Local Control CPU board (LC-CPU) and a Local
Control Interface (LCI) for main status indication, equipment status and measurement data and
manual controls (switch commands) for basic control functions. Besides serial data interfaces to the
monitor and transmitter processors an RS 232C interface is also implemented for the local PC-conĆ
trol with ADRACS (Automatic Data Recording And Control System) and to the remote site via the MoĆ
dem. Summary of the features:
- Communication to subsystems
- Interface to collocated stations (DME, NDB)
- Built-in-Test-Equipment
- BCPS Control
- Programming station parameters
The LCP represents the interface of the NAV-Station and the outside world e.g. Remote-Control.
The LCP controls ten serial control channels. A NAV-Station normally consists of two transmitters,
two monitors (which are called subsystems) and the LCP. There exists also the option of collocated
stations like NDB or DME which data are also available through the LCP. The Local Control Interface
(LCI) has indication lamps for the main status and a menu driven liquid crystal display (LCD) for indicaĆ
tion of status and measurement data and manual controls to perform simple activities like ON/OFF
or CHANGE-TX. It is controlled by the LC-CPU.
1.8.3 Data Transmission
Switching on the Station the LCP reads the configuration-files in the RAM-Floppy, initializes the StaĆ
tion and brings it into a normal operational state. The communication between LCP and the subsysĆ
tems works after the master-slave principle. The LCP sends automatically telegrams (which are
called INTERNAL) with an configured frequency between 0.04 Hz and 10 Hz (in steps of 100 ms) to
the subsystems (monitors transmitters). From the answers of the subsystems the LCP gets the necesĆ
sary information to compose the Main Status of the station and to check if all subsystems are correctly
working and available.
If the remote control is connected, it is possible to get directly data from transmitters, monitors or the
LCP itself to have detailed status information or to program station parameters. Every time data are
requested from a PC the LCP sends also the INTERNAL telegrams to compose the Main-Status. For
reliability the telegrams are checked with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) after ANSI X3.99-1979
with the CCIT V.41 generator polynomial.

1.9 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION POWER SUPPLY
1.9.1 Overview
See Fig. 1-29.
The power supply used for the DVOR system is normally the 230 VAC mains. An emergency power
supply must be provided by a battery to ensure that operation is not interrupted if the mains power
fails. The 230 V mains supplies the Battery Charging Power Supply (BCPS), which in turn supplies
a DC voltage to the navigation system and keeps the parallel floating battery charged. An uninterruptĆ
ible power supply is thus available for a transitional period if the mains power fails. One (or two) of
the power modules (ACC), of which there can be up to four, acts as a standby in case of failures, makĆ
ing the system extremely reliable. The output voltage is normally 54 V DC (max. 11 A per module),
corresponding to the maximum charge of a lead battery with 24 cells. The number of modules which
are connected in parallel is sufficient not only to operate the navigation system, but also to permit the
floating battery to be recharged within a reasonable time. If one of the modules fails, the others conĆ
tinue working normally.
The BCPS provides the supply voltage to the PMM (Power Management Module), which is used to
switch both the NAV equipment complete and following the two transmitters (TX1 and TX2) on and
off either individually or together. The switches in the PMM also provide overcurrent protection. In adĆ
dition, a voltage monitor is implemented on the CSL which cuts off the load completely via the PMM
if the operating voltage drops below 43 V in order to prevent the battery from being exhausted and
damaged. A measurement facility of battery current and installation current is also implemented on
the CSL. Downstream of the PMM are the DC converters DCC-3-05, DCC-MV and DCC 28 (100
W only), which supply the voltages for the transmitters, monitors, the LRCI and the CSL. They generĆ
ate the component voltages 5 V, ±15 V, 28 V exactly from the nominal 54 V (43...62 V). The DC converĆ
ters take the form of switching regulators. They incorporate circuits for current limiting, overvoltage
cutoff and internal monitoring. The CSL which has a DC-converter (±12 V) on board is supplied diĆ
rectly downstream of the PMM with the nominal 54 V. A measurement facility of battery current and
installation current is implemented on the CSL.
The transmitters, monitors, and LRCI assemblies are supplied by separate power supply modules.
The LRCI, the two monitors and the CSL are operational as soon as at least one switch on the PMM
is switched on. The power supply to the transmitters is switched on and off either from/via the LRCI
or by the monitors via the CSL with control lines. It supplies the signal generation and the RF stages
with the power amplifiers.
1.9.2 Startup Procedure

When the system is switched on with the NAV and the TX1 (TX2) switch on the PMM subassembly,
all the power supply modules will be connected to the 54 V voltage, but only the modules for supplying
the LRCI, CSL and the monitors will actually be switched on. The request ENTER PASSWORD apĆ
pears on the PC. If an input is not made, or if an incorrect password is entered, further action will not
be possible. If the password is entered correctly, the system is ready to accept commands. TransmitĆ
ter TX1 or TX2 can then be switched on via the LRCI or the connected PC with the appropriate comĆ
mand. The DC converters used to supply the active transmitter are activated via control lines. The
converters for supplying the transmitter which is not yet active remain switched off. Each of the two
transmitters can be switched on and off separately with the switches on the PMM. If one transmitter
is switched off for maintenance purposes, it is not necessary to enter the password again when it is
switched back on. All command inputs however require a password to be entered if the system was
previously switched to remote (i.e. if it was operated via the remote control system) and has now been
reset to local the key switch to allow it to be operated locally.

1.10.2 Description of the DVOR Transmitter Software

See Fig. 1-32.
The transmitter software controls the transmitter functions. It is build up with the following software
modules.
- TRANSMITTER_INITIALIZATION
When a transmitter is switched on, this module initializes the transmitter HW for generating the
carrier and sideband modulation signals and resets all power output controlling devices. After the
synthesizer initialization, the antenna switching unit (ASU) is initialized and the adjusted power and
phase control values are set. Then the transmitter starts its operation.
- TRANSMITTER_MAIN_LOOP
After the transmitter initialization, the transmitter software enables the 1000 Hz and communication
interrupts and enters an endless loop. In the endless loop, the following actions take place:
S execution of LCP input commands, if the PROGRAM flag is set
S modulation control
S BITE measurement and evaluation
- COMPLETE_PROGRAMMING
If the PROGRAM flag has been set by the COMMUNICATION_INTERRUPT, this module interprets
and executes LCP input commands based on the specified transmitter command set (alarm limit,
calibration factors etc.)

Software Description Equipment Description
- TRANSMITTER_CONTROL
The main task of TRANSMITTER_CONTROL is to ensure the stability of the generated sideband
amplitude and phase modulation signals using digital signal processing. Thus, non-linear effects
caused by amplitude and phase modulation are corrected. Furthermore, slow signal changes due
to temperature effects and component ageing are also corrected. This module mainly handles the
tasks modulation control and BITE measurement and evaluation. The actions are divided into the
following processing steps:
S measurement of AC-BITE signals according to a AC-BITE channel selection scheme
S measurement of DC-BITE signals according to a DC-BITE channel selection scheme
S measurement of ASU-BITE signals according to a ASU-BITE channel selection
scheme, if the transmitter is the aerial transmitter
S measurement of the carrier RF phase
S measurement of the 9960 Hz sideband RF phase, if the transmitter is the aerial transmitter
S control of the amplitude control voltage (DC) of sideband 1 (USB)
S control of the amplitude control voltage (DC) of sideband 2 (LSB)
S control of the RF phase control voltage of sideband 1 (DC) if the transmitter is the aerial
transmitter
S BITE evaluation
S internal house-keeping (up-date of status flags and so on)
- 1000_HZ_INTERRUPT
The 1000 Hz hardware interrupt routine of the transmitter performs the following tasks:
S controlling of the Morse code switching signal
S measurement of the 30 Hz signal
S keeping track of the power on/off indication
(which is set/reset by the monitors when the aerial transmitter is changed)

1.10.3 Description of Monitor Software
1.10.3.1 Introduction
The DVOR monitor SW is written in the high level language PL/M86 (Programming Language for MiĆ
crocomputers for 80x86 processors) from INTEL. Some subroutines are realized in assembler
(ASM86) in order to optimize processing speed. The DVOR monitor SW performs the monitor control
functions. It can be roughly subdivided into the parts "system initialization" and the "system monitoĆ
ring". The most important functions are as follows:
- Monitoring of the active (aerial) transmitter

- Control of transmitter change-over and switch-off procedures
- Communication with the LCP
- Measurement and evaluation of the BITE signals
The SW has a relatively simple structure. It consists of main program, which implements the control
flow of the software as a "finite state machine". This method is also used in other modules to establish
their control flow. The tasks of each phase are assigned to main modules, which in turn can call other
submodules, in order to perform further tasks.
1.10.3.2 System Initialization
After power on the program clears the main memory (RAM) and initializes the interrupt controller, the
timers, the serial interface to the LCP and the various parallel interfaces required by the processor
for monitoring the transmitter. The operating data for the monitor are stored in the non-volatile main
memory (battery back-up). These data are secured by a CRC check word and checked during the
initialization. If the CRC check fails (for example due to low voltage of the back-up battery), the data
are cleared and set to default values stored in a table in the EPROM memory area. In this case, BITE
warning is displayed. After the system initialization, the program enters the main program endless
loop starting the monitoring process.
1.10.3.3 Main Program Loop
The main program loop performs the following activities:
- monitor channel selection

- discrete fourier transform (DFT) processing
- alarm check
- alarm evaluation
- BITE evaluation
- monitor house-keeping and in case of switch-over/switch-off alarm condition
- executive measures like switch-over or switch-off of the transmitters.
The data measurement for the monitoring process is controlled by a 960 Hz hardware interrupt, thus
providing equidistant data sampling. Besides the data input from the A/D converter, the 960 Hz interĆ
rupt routine performs some further actions, like the management of the time and date counters.
The communication process for the data exchange with the LCP via a serial data link is also interrupt-
driven. However, the 960 Hz interrupt has the highest priority, i.e. if both interrupts occur simultaĆ
neously, the 960 Hz interrupt routine is carried out first.
Ed. 01.04 1-51

DVOR 432
1.10.3.4 Basic Procedure
After the initialization phase, the program activates the tasks defined for the remaining phases in an
endless loop. At the beginning of the loop, the monitor status variable determines, whether the normal
operation (monitoring process) is performed or an executive monitor action takes places (switch-
over or switch-off). The normal operation first selects the monitor channel for data sampling and then
carries out the data processing of the channel data previously measured. The channel selecting proĆ
cess is based on a fixed channel selection scheme (channel selection table) and controlled by a frame
counter. The data processing for the previous channel is interrupted by the 960 Hz interrupt to get
and store the data of actual selected channel.
1.10.3.5 Monitor Software Tasks and Activities
The main task of the DVOR monitor software is to ensure the integrity of the navigation signals raĆ
diated by the active transmitter. If the monitor detects a faulty signal and its alarm delay counter has
expired, it switches the active transmitter off and puts the stand-by transmitter into operation. If this
transmitter also fails, the station is switched off. The main activities consists of
- sampling of data for monitoring controlled by the 960 Hz interrupt

- discrete fourier transform of sampled data
- calculation of the RF level, calculation of modulation depths of the 30 Hz and 9960 Hz AM signals,
calculation of the modulation index of the 30 Hz FM signal and calculation of the azimuth
- alarm check and alarm evaluation
- display of monitor status and measurements results
- executive actions in the case of faulty signals.
The monitor has two operating modes:
- MONITORING mode
- BYPASS mode.
The behavior in both modes is slightly different. In the BYPASS mode, the monitor accepts input comĆ
mands. It is used to adjust the monitor settings and during transmitter adjustment or maintenance.
The monitoring process is also performed, except that in the case of an alarm situation, executive
actions are blocked. In the monitoring mode, no input commands are accepted. The transmitter
states (on, off, aerial, stand-by) are full under monitor control.
However, the data output (monitor status, measurement results) is performed in both modes. When
the monitor is switched on, it always enters the bypass mode. There are two LCP commands for
changing manually from one mode to the other. The selected mode is indicated visually on the LCP
display by the lamp BYPASSED".
1.10.3.6 Monitor SW Sequence

See Fig. 1-33.
Figure 1-33 shows the typical control flow for the monitoring process. While the data for the selected
channel are sampled (controlled by the 960 Hz interrupt, every 1.04 ms), the data of the previous
channel (DFT, alarm check and so on) are processed. The length of a channel (channel time) is 64
interrupts (66.67 ms) i.e. two 30 Hz periods. The data sampled during the first 32 interrupts are not
used, only the data of the second half (interrupts 32 to 63, one 30 Hz period) are stored for further
processing.
1-52 Ed. 01.04

DVOR 432
The overall processing time (monitoring process, BITE evaluation, house-keeping, time for interrupt
handling) may not exceeds the channel time. In the worst case, all these activities consume about
15 ms processing time, thus the processor spends most of the channel time to wait for the end of the
channel.

The activities controlled by the main program can by characterized as follows:
- initialization
- monitoring process (monitor status = NORMAL)

- Main Program
This is the control program. After the initialization, it enables the interrupts and enters an endless loop.
The 960 Hz hardware interrupt is the base for the time management. The control flow is implemented
by a finite state machine. At the beginning of the loop, the monitor state variable is evaluated. It conĆ
trols the transition between the defined monitor states. The states are defined as follows:
1-54 Ed. 01.04

DVOR 432
- State 0 (normal state)
This state is the initial state. In this state, the normal monitor processing is performed:
S channel selection
S discrete fourier transform
S alarm check
S alarm evaluation
S BITE evaluation
S monitor house-keeping
If the monitor is in the BYPASS mode, input commands in this state are also accepted (for example
the change of a monitor alarm limit). A transition to another state can occur, if the monitor is in the
MONITORING mode end encounters an alarm situation or if the co-monitor indicates a switch-
over or switch-off action by setting the flag MAINAL" in the monitor status exchange interface.
- State 1 (alarm state transmitter 1 failed)
This state is entered from state 0, if transmitter 1 is the aerial transmitter and fails. Depending on
the transmitter states, the monitor performs the following actions.
Case stand-by transmitter 2 available":
S up-dating of the alarm history
S switching on of the stand-by transmitter (transmitter 2)
S setting of the stand-by transmitter aerial (RF relays)
S switching off of the faulty transmitter
S initializing of the monitor processing (reset alarm counter and status)
S transition to state 0 (normal state)
Case stand-by transmitter 2 not available" (a switch-over action was already performed):
S setting of the power off signal (transmitter 1 stops radiation) and setting of the transmitter 1
stand-by (RF relays)
S enter state 5 (switch off state)
- State 2 (alarm state transmitter 2 failed)
This state is entered from state 0, if transmitter 2 is the aerial transmitter and fails. Depending on
the transmitter states, the monitor performs the following actions.
Case stand-by transmitter 1 available":
S switching on of the stand-by transmitter (transmitter 2)
S setting of the stand-by transmitter aerial (RF relays)
S switching off of the faulty transmitter
S initializing of the monitor processing (reset alarm counter and status)
S transition to state 0 (normal state)
Case stand-by transmitter 1 not available" (a switch-over action was already performed):
S setting of the power off signal (transmitter 2 stops radiation) and setting of the transmitter 2
stand-by (RF relays)
S enter state 5 (switch off state)
- State 3 and State 4 are not used.
- State 5 (alarm state switch off)
This is the switch-off state. It can be entered either from state 1 or 2 depending on the transmitter
configuration, if the stand-by transmitter is not available. In this case, the equipment has to be
switched off. In order to guarantee a time-out of 20 s between subsequent attempts of switching
on the equipment after a switch-off, the monitor waits 20 s in an idle loop and then switches off.

1.10.3.7.1 Short Description of the MAIN PROGRAM Modules
INIT
This module initializes the monitor hardware (interrupt controller, timers, serial controllers, output regĆ
isters).
CMOSRAM_CHECK
This module checks the integrity of the monitor data in the non-volatile memory area (CRC check).
Based on the result of this check, the stored data are used (check ok) or set to default values (check
not ok, BITE indication).After that, all variables required for the monitor operation are initialized.
EPROM_CHECK
This module computes the BYTE-sum of the installed EPROM's and compares this sum with the
checksums stored in the serial EEPROM. If an error is detected MONITOR FAULT is set.
CHANNEL_SELECTION
The channel selection routine updates the frame counter which checks the monitor channel timing,
and determines the next channel to be activated on the basis of a channel sequence table. It uses
the channel number to establish the channel selection code and outputs these to registers on the
MSP. It also updates the AGC settings. The routine also manages the channel setup in single-chanĆ
nel mode, if the monitor is in BYPASS mode. If the single channel mode is selected, the desired chanĆ
nel number is derived from the programmed channel number
DFT_FILTER
While the measured values of the new channel (x) are being sampled, this module performs a harĆ
monic analysis (DFT) for the 32 measured values of the previous channel (x-1), in order to compute
the RF level (mean of the 32 measured values) as well as the real and imaginary components of the
30 Hz signal and its first four harmonics (60 Hz, 90 Hz, 120 Hz, 150 Hz).
It determines the individual signal amplitude from the real and imaginary components. Finally, it saves
the computed values for future evaluation.
ALARM_CHECK
This routine uses the results of the DFT FILTER for a further signal evaluation and an alarm check.
Depending on the channel which needs to be processed (x-1), it checks the measured channel paĆ
rameters against the set alarm limits, updates the associated alarm flags in the status field of the indiĆ
cation lamps.
ALARM_EVALUATION
This module starts by checking the MAINAL bit from the status exchange interface (messages from
the co-monitor). If the co-monitor has set the MAINAL bit, it has initiated a changeover or switch-off
procedure. In this case the routine determines the necessary transition to one of the defined alarm
states.
If MAINAL is not set, the routine checks the alarm status output of the ALARMCHECK module (alarm
flags in the status field of the indication lamps) and updates the alarm counter. The further proceeding
depends on the value of the alarm counter and on the monitor bypass, monitor fault and monitor conĆ
figuration conditions (AND, OR). Based on these conditions, it decides to stay in the current state or
to enter one of the alarm state.
1-56 Ed. 01.04

DVOR 432
BITE_EVALUATION
The BITE routine compares the measured values (equipment parameters, e.g. operating voltages)
which are measured in the 960 Hz interrupt routine fixed, predefined limit values contained in a table
of constants in the EPROM. It updates the internal BITE result list on the basis of the test results. The
routine also check the digital BITE signals and updates the result list.
COMPLETE_PROGRAMMING
If the monitor is in the BYPASS mode and the PROGRAM Flag has been set by the COMMUNICAĆ
TION_INTERRUPT, this module interprets and executes LCP input commands based on the specified
monitor command set (alarm limit, calibration factors etc.).
MONITOR_MANAGEMENT
This module is responsible for internal monitor house-keeping. It manages updates of status inforĆ
mation (aerial/standby flag, transmitter status, etc.). It continuously compares the set alarm limits with
the maximum permissible limit and sets MONITOR FAULT, if an alarm limit is set outside meaningful
values.
ALARM_EVALUATION
See above, alarm states 1, 2 and 5.
1.10.3.8 Interrupt Program Modules

See Fig. 1-36.
960_HZ_INTERRUPT
The 960 Hz hardware interrupt informs the processor that new, digitized measured values are availĆ
able for input. The main task of the 960 Hz interrupt service routine is to accept the sampled data from
the MSP-VD A/D converter. The value of the interrupt counter is increment, and checked after each
interrupt to ensure that it is between 0 and 63. If the value reaches 64, the cycle for the current channel
evaluation is terminated by setting the counter to 0. Based on the interrupt counter, the program perĆ
forms some further tasks:
- generation of the 120 Hz dynamic monitor life signal
- up-dating of the elapsed time counter
- managing of the frequency measurement
- managing of the analogue BITE measurements
- managing of the identity code measurement
COMMUNICATION_INTERRUPT
This module controls the serial controller on the MSP-VD, which handles the data exchange with the
LCP via a serial interface (RS232C, V.24 level) according to the defined Navaids 400 communication
protocol for the communication process LCP to Sub-Units" (Sub-Units are the monitors and transĆ
mitters). The LCP is the communication master. The synchronization to the start of telegram is realized
in software, the hardware handshake lines of the serial communication interface are not used.

1.10.4 Description of LRCI Software
1.10.4.1 Short description of the Modules
See Fig. 1-37.
The LCP-Software is a customer of the RMMC-Software-package, e.g. the LCP-Software get the
orders from the RMMC-part with the DEPOSIT-ORDER-command and returns the result with the
DEPOSIT_RESULT-command. The RMMC-part controls the communication to the remote control
and the LCP-part the communication to the subsystems inside the station. The Modules of the LCP-
Software are:
- REU-CUSTOMER-MANAGEMENT
Receives Order and perform queueing with DEPOSIT-ORDER command. After queueing the
PERFORM entry of the task is called and performs a rendezvous with the four subsystem tasks
by calling REQUEST-STATI. After completion of data acquisition the SUBSYSTEM-MANAGER
reports ALL-READY and terminate the rendezvous. The command SPLIT-RESULT splits the teleĆ
gram information into data-records. The command PUZZLE-Result prepares of these records
the RESULT-telegrams. The DEPOSIT-Result command finally returns the RESULT-telegrams
to the RMMC-part of the SW-Package.
- SUBSYSTEM-MANAGER
The SUBSYSTEM-MANAGER contains the four tasks depending to each Subsystem(TX1, TX2,
MON1, MON2). It performs the communication between the subsystems and the LCP.
- CSL_MANAGER
The CSL-MANAGER consists of two tasks. The T_ADW_CTR task controls the multiplexer and
ADC and is responsible for data-acquisition of BITE. The T_BCPS task is responsible for the calĆ
culation of the Battery-Capacity.
- INC_MANAGER of the Station.
Consists also of two tasks. The T_BUTTON_OBSERVER task controls the pushbuttons of the

CHAPTER 2
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION DVOR
TRANSMITTER AND ANTENNA SWITCHING UNIT (ASU)
2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 System Overview
The DVOR installation comprises the following main components and accessories:
- Transmitter rack housing the transmitter, monitor and power supply/battery charging (BCPS)*,
single or dual
- Antenna Switching Unit (ASU) rack housing the ASU subassemblies and power supply/battery
charging (BCPS)*
- Emergency power supply (48 V lead battery)
* The BCPS is alternatively housed for 100 W versions in the ASU rack and up to 50 W in the transmitter rack.
These components are housed in a building or shelter. Since there is possibility of generated oxyhyĆ
drogen, the battery is separately housed.
- Antenna system
The DVOR antenna system comprises 51 individual antennas mounted on a counterpoise with a
diameter of approx. 26 m (optional: 30 m) and supported at a height of 3, 5, 7 or 10 m above the
ground by an appropriate number of struts.
- Monitor dipole
The nearfield monitor dipole is mounted on a mast in a distance of approx. 200 m from the center
of the counterpoise at a height of approx. 1.3 m above the counterpoise.
As an option a nextfield dipole configuration can be used instead of or in addition to.
For information about nextfield monitoring refer to Annex Nextfield in this manual.
- Cable set
- Grounding
The ASU and the antenna system are connected via 51 coaxial cables, which are fed to the building
or shelter via a cable duct from the center of the counterpoise. External signals obtained via the 1 (or
optional 2) nearfield monitor dipole(s) or the optional nextfield configuration are supplied to the moniĆ
toring system (consisting of 1 or 2 monitors). If only 1 nearfield monitor dipole is used (standard instalĆ
lation) the coaxial connecting cable between the monitor dipole and the monitor is led in the building
or shelter to a divider, which distributes equivalent signals to the dual monitors.
A grounding network must be laid around the shelter; but there are no special requirements made
with respect to its symmetry.
The DVOR transmitter can be controlled, monitored and maintained from the tower via a respective
remote control and monitoring system (e.g. RMMC).

Description Transmitter and ASU Equipment Description
2.1.2 Basic Components of a Transmitter Rack

The main components of a DVOR transmitter rack are as follows (see Fig. 2-2):
- Transmitter
- Monitoring system (monitor)
- Local/remote communication interface (LRCI)
- Operating voltage supply
The ASU should also be included in this list as far as its function is concerned, though not from the
point of view to the assignment of subassemblies.
2.1.2.1 Transmitter
The dualized transmitter generates the RF signals required for this type of installation. These signals
are fed to the ASU and radiated via the antenna system. Signal generation and transmitter control
are microprocessor controlled. A single transmitter configuration is also applicable.
2.1.2.2 Monitor
The dualized monitor is supplied with signals from internal sensors and informations obtained from
the radiated RF field via a monitor dipole. The RF signals obtained are digitized and fed to the monitor
signal processor for processing. A single monitor configuration is also applicable.
2.1.2.3 Local/Remote Communication Interface
The LRCI is the focal point for internal/external communication between the transmitter and the moniĆ
tor, the local or remote operator and the system, including any connected subsystems. All commuĆ
nication with the system takes place via a local or remote intelligent terminal (PC or laptop), which
is used for all settings, commissioning and maintenance. Both MAIN STATUS indication, basic setĆ
tings (on/off, change over, Mon. Bypass) and call up of certain transmitter or monitor measurement
data is performed with the Local Control Interface (LCI) of the Local Control Panel (LCP).
2.1.2.4 Generation of the Operating Voltages
The transmitter rack requires a nominal supply voltage of 48 V. The mains module (ACC) of the BCPS
supplies an output DC voltage of 54 V and 11 A. Two or three of the modules are connected in parallel
depending on the power requirement of the navigation system. The value of 54 V is derived from the
trickle charge voltage for a 48 V lead battery.
The DC/DC converters housed in the transmitter rack and the ASU rack act as switched-mode reguĆ
lators, which supply the necessary supply voltages +28 V, ±15 V and +5 V with a high efficiency. The
transmitter and ASU voltages are generated by the following types of converter, namely:
- DC/DC-Converter DCC-MV +28 V/11 A; +15 V/2.5 A; -15 V/1 A; +5.2 V/3 A
- DC/DC-Converter DCC-28 +28 V/14 A
- DC/DC-Converter DCC-3-05: module 1 +5.1 V/1.2 A
- module 2 +5.1 V/1.2 A
- module 3 +5.1 V/5 A
- DC/DC-Converter DCC-MVD (ASU) -24 V/0.5 A; ±15 V/0.5 A; +5.2 V/9 A (ASU)
The DCC-3-05 contains three individual modules on a single board, which supply the monitors and
the LRCI-subassemblies. The DCC-28 is used only in the 100 W versions.

2.1.3 Antenna Switching Unit

See Fig. 2-1.
The antenna switching unit is used to simulate the movement of the sideband antennas around the
carrier antenna. Sideband antennas 1 to 50 are supplied such that, for example, the radiation peak
of SB1 results at antenna 1, and at the same time the radiation peak of SB2 results at antenna 26 oppoĆ
site. antennas 2 and 27 are then activated immediately after. The orbiting frequency of the sideband
is 30 Hz, which means that this method permits simulation of almost continuous orbiting.
The genuine double sideband method (DSB) introduced in the System 4000 and also used with the
navaids generation Navaids 400 ensures a high degree of reliability through the 50 sideband antenna
(in contrast with the System 3000, where the alternating sideband method (ASB) with only 39 sideĆ
band antennas was used). A failure in 1, 2 or 3 sideband antennas will not lead to the failure of the
antenna system, but rather will cause merely a minor fault in the 30 Hz FM, the effects of which on
the azimuth error characteristic are relatively insignificant.

2.2 MECHANICAL DESIGN
2.2.1 DVOR Transmitter Rack
The cabinet is made of sheet steel. It can accommodate five standard 19" subassembly carriers (subĆ
rack). The subracks are assembled with plug-in units which are designed as double or single EuroĆ
form printed circuit boards (PCB) with dimensions of 233.4 x 200 [mm] or 100 x160 or 100 x 220 [mm].
The printed circuit boards are interconnected in each subrack on a motherboard back panel. The subĆ
racks itself are connected together via flat ribbon cables with plug-in connectors or via plug-in or
screw-on coaxial cables (used for RF connections) at the rear. The front of the cabinet is hidden by
a front door which can be key locked and swung open by a door handle. The local control and indicaĆ
tion panel (LCP) is flush-mounted in the front door. The cabinet rear is closed by a rear door which
can also be swung open by a door handle. When installing the equipment sufficient access space
should be left between the rear of the transmitter rack and the shelter wall to allow to open the door
and the use of measuring equipment if necessary.
The RF outputs to the ASU/antenna and the monitor inputs are located on top of the cabinet. The AF
or interface connections (e.g. ASU, modem, voice amplifier, DME-Interface etc.) are located on top
of the cabinet and those for the power supply (DVOR: up to 50 W version only) are located on the
back panel of the BCPS subrack or on a terminal bar in the lower part on the rear side of the cabinet.
The cabinet, which has a perforated metal plate at the top and bottom, is self-ventilated (no forced
ventilation necessary). The components of the RF Duplexer are mounted inside on the side walls of
the cabinet and are accessible from the rear.
CAUTION
Do not block or seal the holes for the cooling air supply at the bottom of the rack or the
cooling air outlet at the top of the rack (transmitter)!
WARNING
The heat sinks of the modulators (MOD-110P) and of the carrier amplifier (CA-100C)
may warm up during operation. This is normal and does not have any affect on the funcĆ
tioning of the devices. Avoid touching the heat-sinks when the cabinet door has been
opened for any reason. When replacing this subassemblies it is recommended to let
them cool down for a while or take suitable measures (e.g. gloves). When replacing the
subassemblies SYN and CCP avoid touching the heat sinks of the MOD-110P.
2.2.2 Antenna Switching Unit (ASU)

See Fig. 2-8, 2-4.
The antenna switching unit is accommodated in a 19" cabinet with a design similar to that of the transĆ
mitter cabinet. It has however only two 19" assembly carriers. With 100 W DVOR installations the
BCPS is additionally housed in a further subrack in the lower part of the ASU cabinet instead of the
transmitter cabinet. The cabinet, which has a perforated metal plate at the top and bottom, is self-
ventilated (no forced ventilation necessary). The assembly carriers contain subassemblies in EuroĆ
form printed circuit boards as per DIN 41 494, Sh.2, with dimensions 233.4 x 200 [mm]. The front of
the subracks is hidden by the front door. The front door is locked by spring catches and can be swung
open. Each of the two subracks A and B has a motherboard used for the connections to the various
subassemblies in the subracks. The two motherboards are connected via a ribbon cable with connecĆ
tors.
Ed. 01.04 2-5

DVOR 432
A large number of screwed coaxial connections between the various subassemblies and the coaxial
cables from the 10 ASM-D subassemblies to the antenna connection board are accessible from the
front of the ASU. The 51 cables leading to the antenna connection plate in the shelter wall have been
combined to form a group of cables. This group is fed through the hole in the cover on the top of the
rack. The cable connection for data transmission between the ASU and the transmitter cabinet is realĆ
ized from the back of motherboard A on the ASU rack and from the back of motherboard BP-CD
on the transmitter rack via the connector ASU-Interface on the top of the respective cabinet.

2.2.3 Shelter
See Fig. 2-9, 2-10.
The Navaids shelter is used as permanent housing for electronic navaids equipment. The Standard
Shelter is a self-supporting transport unit which is especially suited for the whole range of transportaĆ
tion means. It stands all climatic conditions worldwide and is designed for a minimum life-cycle of
10 years with the exception of mechanical damages. To cover the requirements the Standard Shelter
bases on the definition on transport containers ISO/DIN standards. It consists of a self-supporting,
distortion resistant aluminium frame construction with eight ISO corners and standardized container
dimensions.
The walls are made of sandwich panels and give options for the fixing of various installation items.
The polyurethane layer ensures best thermal isolation. The floor is covered with an antistatic material
which is connected to the system ground to protect maintenance personnel and to avoid damage
of electronic equipment. The personnel door is located at the front side of the container. It is fitted with
a key lock and can be locked outside and from inside. The inner and outer sides of the shelter are
painted white (RAL 9002), and optionally with an additional outside finish in warning colours as per
ICAO Annex 10. The navaids shelter is anchored using the ISO corners and twist locks to four foundaĆ
tion blocks. The shelter itself is splash-proof, resistant against sea climate and insensitive to salt waĆ
ter, fungus and termites.
A complete electrical installation is already provided which can easily be adapted to specific project
requirements. The battery box, which is hermetically sealed from the interior in its operating state, is
accessible from the inside of the shelter and ventilated from the outside. Its shelf-type construction
provides space for a block of batteries (48 V, 256 Ah max.) for the Navaids equipment as well as for
collocated equipment. Ventilation is provided by one or two through-the-wall air conditioning units
and thermostat. The air conditioning equipment is designed to fulfil the environmental conditions for
all products installed in the container. One fire extinguisher is provided. Other options comprise obĆ
struction lighting, heater, table and chair, book-shelves, or an additional sun roof.

2.3.3 Transmitter Subassemblies
2.3.3.1 Overview
The DVOR transmitter section, the function of which is to generate the RF signals and amplify the RF,
consists of the following subassemblies (single):
- Synthesizer SYN-D
- Modulator for carrier (1x) MOD-110P (50 W) or MOD-110 (100 W version only)
- Carrier amplifier CA-100C (100 W version only)
- Modulator for sideband (2x) MOD-110
- Control coupler CCP-D
- RF duplexer RFD1-VD, RFD2-D (used in dual version only)
- ASU interface ASU-INT
- Modulation signal generator (signal) MSG-S
- Modulation signal generator (control) MSG-C
The synthesizer supplies the RF input signals to the modulators (CSB, SB1, SB2) and a reference
signal (REF) to the control coupler. The modulators MOD-110P/MOD-110 supply the power which
is needed to drive the antenna in a system up to 50 W. In a 100 W system the modulator MOD-110
(instead of MOD-110P) and the carrier amplifier CA-100C are used in the CSB branch. The microĆ
processor-controlled modulation signal generator generates and controls the signals of the transĆ
mitter section. The ASU interface is the control interface to the antenna switching unit.
2.3.3.2 Synthesizer (SYN-D)

See Fig. 2-12.
The SYN-D generates the RF fundamental frequency signals f0, f1 and f2, which are needed to supply
the modulators for the carrier (CSB) and the two sidebands (SB1, SB2). The frequency can be set
between 108 and 118 MHz. The frequency of the oscillators (VCOs) is determined by the channel patĆ
tern of the synthesizer (50 kHz). The desired frequency channel can thus be set easily with the comĆ
puter if the frequency changes. The VCOs for the CSB and for SB1 and SB2 are synchronized with
a frequency difference of 9960 Hz by means of phase-locked loops (PLL). The synthesizer also supĆ
plies a reference signal for transmitter monitoring, which is fed to the Control Coupler (CCP). The folĆ
lowing functional units are provided for each frequency:
- Reference oscillator
- Control circuit and VCO for f0
- Control circuit and VCO for f1 (f0 + 9960 Hz)
- Control circuit and VCO for f2 (f0 - 9960 Hz)
- Phase coupler between the VCOs
- Phase-locked loop, Output stages and monitoring
The 20 MHz frequency generated by the reference oscillator is used in the PLL0 circuit (D3) to set the
voltage control value for the CSB-VCO to the required frequency value with the control signal obĆ
tained from the frequency select circuit (D7). The PLL ensures that this frequency is maintained. This
RF-output signal is distributed in different pathes as reference signal, carrier signal CSB and for conĆ
trolling the sideband VCOs for SB1 and SB2. One path of the RF-signal is fed to Mixer U1 of the SB1
VCO. It generates the difference (IF) between the carrier frequency f0 and the sideband frequency f1,
which then is compared with the frequency difference preset by D15 via D10 in the phase control
circuit (D17). This signal is used to form the control voltage for the VCO. The RF-output signal is led
out as signal SB1. The RF signal of SB2 is generated similarly. The frequency difference signal for D18
is derived from D17. Signals BFM0, BFM1, BFM2 are used for frequency measurement on the
MSP-VD. Each RF output is assigned a BIT detector (BFR1, BFC1, BFSBA0, BFC2), which informs
Ed. 01.04 2-15

DVOR 432
the MSG-C via MSG-S that the RF signal is present and correct. The locking of the SB1/SB2 PLL
is indicated via a LED each, located at the front of the SYN-D.
The location of the two SYN-D (transmitter 1 and 2) is shown in Fig. 2-6.

2.3.3.3 Modulators (MOD-110, MOD-110P)
See Fig. 2-13.
The modulators are modulatable RF amplifiers for the 108...118 MHz frequency band. They are used
as either carrier modulator/transmitter or sideband transmitter. Both the RF phase and the amplitude
of the RF signal can be modulated. The MOD-110P and MOD-110 differ in their maximum power
output. The MOD-110 is used for the sidebands (SB1, SB2) and the MOD-110P for the carrier (CSB)
up to 50 W. In the 100 W version the MOD-110 instead of MOD-110P acts as a driver for the power
amplifier CA-100C in the CSB branch.
The carrier frequency is amplitude-modulated in the carrier modulator (CSB) with a 30 Hz signal and
the identification (1020 Hz) and voice signals. The phase and amplitude of the carrier modulator are
analog-controlled. Since no SBO signal is generated in the DVOR system, the phase control voltage
is determined by comparing the measured phase value of the antenna switching unit with the setpoint
selected for the MSG-C. The position of the phase switch is computed by the MSG-C. The ampliĆ
tude control value is derived from the setpoint selected for the MSG-C and the actual value specified
by the control coupler (CCP).
The RF signal received from the synthesizer is supplied to an attenuator (-9 dB) at the input with a
level of 10 dBm. It is reduced there to a suitable level for the phase switch Z2. This switch allows procĆ
essor-controlled phase shift keying (0°/180°) via IC4. The keying ratio can be adjusted slightly with
potentiometer R151, in order to optimize the carrier suppression in the sideband branch (factory adĆ
justment). The RF signal is supplied to the first phase shifter Z3 with varicap diodes V25 and V26 and
then the second phase shifter Z1 with varicap diodes V16 and V17. The capacitance of these diodes
can be varied with a control voltage (UPH) via phase control circuit IC2, IC300 and IC1, in order to
set the transit phase of Z3 and Z1. Phase shifter Z3 enables the optimum phase control voltages
(approx. 5 V) of the next phase shifter Z1 to be set (for both the CSB and SBO). IC2 is fed with different
signals enabled by switch IC300 for individual purposes: In the MOD for CSB, IC2 acts as amplifier
for phase control for proportional control of the CSB signal. The I-controller IC1 compensates the
static phase offset and feeds a dc voltage to IC2, whilst IC2 compensates the phase of the CSB signal
as a function of the actual value. The input signals for IC1 and IC2 are obtained from the phase detecĆ
tor of the CCP. When the MOD is used as sideband transmitter, IC2 acts as amplifier for the control
value for setting the sideband phase. The SBO phase is controlled by software. The control signal
is received from the MSG-C. The RF preamplifier IC9/Q10 follows the phase shifter Z1. This stage
amplifies the level at the output of the phase shifter section to +13 dBm.
The RF output stage consists of three series-connected amplifier stages (Q11, Q12 and Q13). Each
stage is connected to the next stage, both at the input and at the output, by means of a complex transĆ
formation network. The input signal is amplified by 10 dB in the RF driver stage Q11, modulated by
the RF driver stage Q12 and amplified by a further 13 dB in the RF output stage Q13. Q12 is modulated
with amplifiers IC6...8. The modulation amplifier disables the control circuit by means of a protection
circuit if the modulation signal is missed, to prevent possible damage to the RF power section. The
output network of Q13 is designed so that no tuning is necessary over the entire frequency bandwidth
from 108 to 118 MHz.
The output line contains a coupler (Z4), which extracts part of the RF at -20 dB and supplies it to the
CCP. When used as driver for the CA-100C this output is terminated by a load. Part of the reverse
RF power is supplied to a demodulator and made available as a BIT signal. The demodulated output
signal is made available via an amplifier (IC10) after decoupling as a BIT signal. The temperature of
the heatsink of the modulators is measured via R325 and fed to MSG-S for evaluation.
The location of the MOD-110 or MOD-110P (transmitter 1 and 2) is shown Fig. 2-6.

2.3.3.4 Carrier Amplifier (CA-100C)
See Fig. 2-14.
The CA-100C is a single-stage RF power amplifier for the 108...118 MHz frequency band with an
output power of 100 W. It operates with a balanced amplifier. The MOD-110 carrier modulator works
as a driver and outputs the control voltage, which is balanced by means of a filter and supplied to the
power FET V1A/V1B. The amplified signal is matched to an unbalanced line via a filter and supplied
to the -30 dB coupler at the output. Part of the forward signal is supplied to the CCP via the coupler.
The reverse signal is rectified and made available as a BIT signal (ACA1R). The signal upstream of
the coupler is likewise brought out as a BIT signal (ACA1) via another detector circuit.
The FET transistors and the wiring board are mounted on a heat sink, whose temperature is moniĆ
tored with R24. The 28 V supply conductors to the FETs are each protected by a soldered-in fuse
(F1/F2).
The location of the CA-100C (transmitter 1 and 2) is shown in Fig. 2-6.

2.3.3.5 Control Coupler (CCP-D)

See Fig. 2-15.
The CCP-D is used to condition the forward RF signal components obtained via bidirectional couĆ
plers on the MOD-110P or CA-100C (version >30 W). It demodulates the envelope amplitudes and
the RF phase of the CSB and the amplitudes of SB1/SB2, and returns them to the modulator as actual
values. The exact envelope curve is demodulated from the carrier (CSB) for the amplitude control cirĆ
cuit. An actual voltage is derived for the phase control circuit by comparing the RF phase of the carrier
signal (CSB) with the reference signal (from the synthesizer). The desired signal is electronically
through-connected to the measuring device for digital control of the sidebands (SB1 and SB2); the
amplitude is measured directly, and the phase indirectly, by analyzing the Cartesian components (u
x sin f and u x cos f).
The CSB forward signal is supplied to the coupler N54 via a 3 dB attenuator and split into two compoĆ
nents of equal magnitude. One of the signal components at N54 is used to obtain the actual values
for the analog carrier control loop. The signal required for analog control of the carrier is supplied via
an attenuator and the amplifier N30 to the coupler N49 and split. One signal component at N49 is
demodulated by the precision modulator (N8, N1), then amplified with N7 and made available as the
analog controlled variable FCIA for amplitude control in the CSB modulator. The signal picked off by
the amplifier N2 is supplied to the MSG with inverse polarity as the BITE ACIF signal.
The other signal component at N49 is supplied to the mixer U1 via a 12 dB attenuator. This mixer
compares the actual CSB phase of N49 with the phase of the reference frequency RFref, which is supĆ
plied to it directly by the synthesizer via a 12 dB attenuator and the amplifier N31. If the useful signal
and the reference signal are in phase quadrature, U1 outputs a 0 V control voltage via a filter to the
amplifier N9. If the phase shift is increased or reduced however, U1 outputs a proportional voltage,
which is then amplified by N9 and supplied as the analog signal FCIP to the phase shifter in the
MOD-110P (CSB). The absolute value of the RF phase of the carrier is insignificant, though it must
remain constant as a function of time, temperature and modulation depth.
The second signal component of the CSB signal at N54 is supplied to the PIN diode switch N45. The
forward signal of SB1 is injected into this branch via N45 and that of SB2 via N47. The control signals
required for these switches are supplied by the MSG-C. They act on driver stages, which make the
necessary control currents available for the diode switches. The signal produced downstream of each
diode switch is used to obtain the actual values for the three digital loops that control the sidebands
and the carrier. It is supplied to the coupler N51 via a 7 dB attenuator and the amplifier N34, and from
there to a demodulator (N14, N5) that measures the amplitude. It is then made available via the ampliĆ
fier N15 as the VRFA signal. This signal used for digital sideband amplitude control is supplied to the
MSG-S, digitized and further processed in the MSG-C.
The location of the two CCP-D (transmitter 1 and 2) is shown in Fig. 2-6.

2.3.3.6 RF-Duplexer
See Fig. 2-16.
The RF signals are distributed to the antenna switching unit by means of the discrete RF duplexers
RFD1-VD (CSB) and RFD2-D (SB1/2), which consist of the following components :
- 3 coaxial antenna switching relays

- 3 harmonic filters (low-pass)
- Dummy load resistors
The function of the various components of the RF duplexes is to switch the antenna system over to
transmitter 1 or 2. The signals of the transmitter which is currently switched to the antenna by the coaxĆ
ial antenna switching relays K1 (CSB) and K1/K2 (SB1, SB2) each pass through a harmonic filter, beĆ
fore being fed to the antenna system via the antenna switching unit (ASU). Any harmonics in the sigĆ
nals are filtered out by filters 1, 2 and 3. The transmitter which is active, but not switched to the anĆ
tenna, is connected to a dummy load. The changeover signals received from the monitor signal procĆ
essor (MSP-VD) control the relays K1 (CSB) and K1/K2 (SB1, SB2). The relay position is fed back to
the MSP-VD via CSL.
The location of the RF-Duplexer is shown in Fig. 2-6.

2.3.3.7 ASU-Interface (ASU-INT)
See Fig. 2-17.
Together with the BSG-D subassembly (in the ASU), the ASU interface forms the data link between
the DVOR transmitter and the ASU. The data communicated on this link includes control information
for the ASU and information for transferring the phase values measured for SB1 and SB2 - referred
to the carrier - after they have been digitized in the BSG-D and BITE signals.
The ASU interface contains a multiplexer block (D1...D4) and interface drivers (D8...D11), which are
used to connect the control lines for the ASU. In the opposite direction, the measured phase values
are supplied from the ASU to the monitor processor (MSP-VD) via V.24 receivers (D5/6). A connected
decoder detects when the active monitor (in other words the monitor whose transmitter is currently
switched to the antenna) receives a phase value from the ASU.
The location of the ASU-INT is shown in Fig. 2-6.

2.3.3.8 Modulation Signal Generator Control (MSG-C)

See Fig. 2-18, 2-19.
The Modulation Signal Generator is formed by the MSG-C and the MSG-S. It generates and conĆ
trols the transmitter signals. The function of the MSG-C is to control all the operational sequences
which take place in the transmitter, e.g. control of the sideband modulation envelopes and the sideĆ
band RF phases, while the MSG-S conditions the modulation signals for modulating the carrier and
sideband transmitters and processes BIT signals from the transmitter section. In systems which radiĆ
ate an identification signal (ILS-LLZ, CVOR, DVOR), the CPU also generates the signal for keying
this 1020 Hz signal.
The MSG-C contains an 80C186 microprocessor as an embedded controller, together with the peĆ
ripherals needed for various purposes. It is connected to the Local Control Panel (LCP) via a serial
interface. This interface is used to set the transmitter parameters and to report measurement results
and status information. The functions of the processor are defined by the associated software. The
processor and its peripherals have the following structure:
- Processor clock 20 MHz
- External address bus, buffered
- External data bus, buffered
- External control bus, buffered
- Serial EEPROM
- 16-bit register OUT (local data/local address)
- 16-bit register IN (local data)
- 8-bit register IN (status data)
- RS232 interface, 2x
- 1 MB EPROM
- 256 KB RAM, non-volatile, battery-backed
- Supply failure monitor, Watchdog timer
The MSG-C also accommodates other control and status registers, A/D converters and interface
circuits, including the signal RAM for signal generation and IN/OUT registers for ASU control.

DVOR 432
The Navaids 400 transmitter software is universal. The system type is stored in the serial EEPROM
(D63) along with various other information (program version and date, EPROM checksums). When
the system is switched on, the control program must first of all evaluate the information about the sysĆ
tem type. If the codes are unknown, an "Unknown system type" message must be displayed, so that
the operator can enter the correct type. The system type determines which transmitter signals must
be generated and controlled. It can be configured in the serial EEPROM of the MSG-C by means
of a command on the operator's PC (remote or local). When a transmitter is started up, the CPU interĆ
rogates the system type and generates the appropriate signals. During an initial startup procedure,
all the signals for power control remain set to zero.
The CPU of the MSG-C controls the transmitter functions with the aid of parallel registers and D/A
converters on the MSG-S. Two A/D converters on the MSG-S (D8,12), each with 32 channels, are
used to measure the analog BITE signals and the actual values for amplitude and phase control. The
control tasks include the following:
- Initialization of a transmitter after start-up, e.g. loading the modulation memories, setting of carrier
power and modulation depths
- Carrying out so-called 'fast' amplitude and phase control for the sideband signals
- Modification of the entered transmitter parameters in the event of settings, alignments or mainteĆ
nance being necessary during operation (and possibly carrying out amplitude and phase control)
- Measurement and evaluation of the analog and digital BIT signals
The time base of the transmitter CPU is a 1 ms interrupt, which is generated internally in the CPU. This
interrupt also serves as the base for recording the measured values of the actual value signals used
to control the amplitude and phase of the sideband signals and to measure the analog BIT signals.
It has the highest priority of any interrupt in the system. There is also a second external hardware interĆ
rupt from the serial communication controller (SCC, D16), which controls data communication with
the LCP. The Morse code is output in real time on the basis of a 1 ms interrupt.
All the data necessary to ensure orderly operation of the transmitter system (operating parameters),
such as tolerance limits and calibration factors, is stored in a background table in the non-volatile
RAM (D9,10) and protected by a check code (CRC). The transmitter software makes itself a working
copy of this data, providing no discrepancies are revealed when the memory area is checked beforeĆ
hand. In the event of an error (data lost due to dry battery, etc.) or during an initial startup procedure,
the transmitter operating parameters are taken from a default table stored in the EPROM (D7,8)
constant area. The data stored in the non-volatile RAM area is only accessed if the operator modifies
operational data in bypass mode. This is the only situation in which the entered parameters and the
checksum are updated.
Besides the processor part the MSG-C contains the following main functional units used for signal
generation and BIT evaluation control on the MSG-S:
- signal generation interface with signal memory (D57,58), address and data in/out registers
(D23,24,26,27,29,30)
- internal control (D31,32) and status register (D25,28)
- local address generation (D42..47)
- transfer and signal generation control circuits (D40,41,48..56) for MSG-S
The signals to be generated and controlled result from the type of installation. The sinusoidal modulaĆ
tion signals are generated on the basis of a sine table with 16384 interpolation points per complete
period. The amplitude resolution is 13 bits. All the sinusoidal signals which are necessary to generate
the Navaids 400 signals can be derived from this table by means of address computations (modulus
16384).

A total of 2048 interpolation points per signal (one 30 Hz period) is required for the output to the MSG
signal memory (D57,58), in other words every 8th table value is used to calculate the output values.
The phase resolution is as follows: 360°/16384 = 0.022°. For example the 1020 Hz identification sigĆ
nal comprises 34 periods during one 30 Hz oscillation,. The 2048 interpolation points are then deterĆ
mined from the table with an increment of 8 x 34, weighted with the modulation depth and output to
the MSG signal memory.
The transfer sequence of a value to the MSG-C signal memory is as follows. The registers involved
are D23,24 (output data), D26,27 (input data), D29,30 (signal memory addresses), D31,32 (control)
and D25,28 (status acknowledge). If the transfer control circuit does not react a BIT failure is set.
- output designation address of signal memory
- output designation data
- set transfer start with pulse output to transfer flip-flop
- interrogation of transfer flip-flop status
The transfer sequence of a value from the MSG-C signal memory is as follows:
- output source address of signal memory
- set transfer bit code
- set transfer start with pulse output to transfer flip-flop
- interrogation of transfer flip-flop status at input register
The transfer mode is set with Bit 0 and 1 of control register D31,32. The modes contain: write to signal
RAM, read from signal RAM, write to coincidence register, write to D/A converter (on MSG-S). The
transfer mode "10" sends a statement to the interface control (D49) to write data to the coincidence
register (D59,60). The processor sets the sample point in the coincidence register, at which the A/D
converter control shall execute the measurement synchronized to the timing of the signal generation.
The sideband RF amplitudes are controlled digitally in a "fast" and "slow" mode. Fast control is used
when the operator changes a value, slow control is used for the system in operation. The actual value
is measured as follows:
- set channel VRFA of MUX1 on the MSG-S via control 1 (D31,32)

- select actual value of sideband to be measured on the CCP via control 1 (D31,32)
- unlock control circuits on MSG-C
- start coincidence check
- poll flag ready
- transfer data of A/D converter 1 of MSG-S via In register (D26,27)
If a fault occurs a BIT failure is set.
The sideband RF phases are also controlled digitally in a "fast" and "slow" mode. Fast control is used
when the operator changes a value, slow control is used for the system in operation. The slow control
is called up associated to the 1 ms interrupt. The actual value is measured as described for amplitude
measurement but channel VRFP of MUX1 is selected. If a fault occurs a BIT failure is set.
Analog and digital BIT signals are made available by the MSG-S for checking the reliability of the
signal generation circuits and the controlled subassemblies. The BIT measured values are checked
with configurable limits, and the results are stored in a table which can be displayed on the operator's
PC if desired. If one of the monitored values is outside the specified limits, the transmitter CPU issues
a BITE warning on the main status panel. This warning is also output on the LCP (Local Control Panel).
The location of the two MSG-C (transmitter 1 and 2) is shown in Fig. 2-6.

2.3.3.9 Modulation Signal Generator Signal (MSG-S)
See Fig. 2-20, 2-21, 2-22.

The function of the modulation signal generator signal is to generate modulation signals for the carrier
modulator and the sideband transmitters. It cooperates closely with the MSG-C for initializing the
system, periodically checking the modulation depth and the reference powers and controlling the
sideband modulation signals (amplitude and phase). Data is exchanged in both directions. Together
with the MSG-C it polls and conditions the signals required for the various systems with the aid of
the software. Its most important tasks are listed below:
- Conditioning the carrier modulation signal (amplitude, identification, voice)
- Identification keyer/controller: generating the 1020 Hz identification tone and modulating it with the
code of the identification keyer as well as with the voice signal of the voice amplifier
- Conditioning the sideband modulation signals (amplitude, sign, phase)
- Interface to the synchronization logic for sideband control
- Digital/analog input BIT signals and A/D or D/A conversion
The modulation signals which are preconditioned in the MSG-S are passed on to the appropriate
modulators. The MSG-S receives the signals for the amplitude and phase measurements via the
control coupler and forwards them to the MSG-C. The latter supplies the signals for controlling the
actual value measurements of the amplitude and phase. Fig. 2-21 shows the signal path for generaĆ
tion of the modulation signals for carrier and sidebands, fig. 2-22 the signal path of the transmitter
BIT signals to the MSG-C.

The modulation signals generated in the MSG-C are preconditioned in the MSG-S. The individual
D/A converters used for setting the signals are controlled from the MSG-C transmitter bus via DeĆ
coder D3. The carrier modulation signal (CSB1) is a summing signal consisting of a dc component,
the navigation signal, identity and (optional) voice. The individual signal components (excluding the
dc component) can be set or changed by commands via software. The navigation signal from the
signal RAM on the MSG-C is fed to D/A converter N1 and via buffer amplifiers (N5,11) and a low pass
filter (N8,10) to a multiplying D/A converter N13 for setting the modulation depth. The identity signal
frequency of 1020 Hz is supplied via D/A converter N2 to amplifier N4, keyed with the ID code via softĆ
ware switch N6 and fed via amplifier and filter N7 to the summing stage. The modulation depth of the
identity is set with the amplitude of the synthetic 1020 Hz sine wave. This setting is also valid for the
carrier modulation signal (CSB2) of the clearance transmitter in 2F installations. The voice is fed from
the voice amplifier to a multiplying D/A converter (N19) for setting the modulation depth then to the
summing stage. To set the CSB power the composite signal of N12 is fed to a multiplying D/A converĆ
ter (N14) and via amplifier N16 to the CSB modulator. The phase control signal for the CSB modulator
is generated with D/A converter N29, set via a multiplying D/A converter (N33) and fed via N32 to the
CSB modulator.
The calculated sum curve of SB1 (SBA) is called up from the signal RAM and fed to D/A converter
N23, the phase control signal of SB1 (SBA) to D/A converter N30. Both are conditioned via software
controlled switch N28 for the type of installation (CVOR or DVOR) and supplied to multiplying D/A
converters N27 (power setting) and N34 (phase control signal setting) before they are fed to the sideĆ
band modulator SB1 (SBA).
The calculated sum curve of SB2 (SBB) is called up from the signal RAM and fed to D/A converter
N35, the phase control signal of SB2 (SBB) to D/A converter N36. The amplitude modulation signal
is conditioned via software controlled switch N41 for the type of installation (CVOR or DVOR) and led
to multiplying D/A converter N42 (power setting). The phase control signal is conditioned via software
controlled switch N6 for the type of installation (CVOR or DVOR) and supplied to multiplying D/A conĆ
verter N39 (phase control signal setting). The sideband modulation signals are fed to the sideband
modulator SB2 (SBB).
The generation of the signs is controlled with the signal WR_DAC in D13,15 (sign CSB1, SBO1, idenĆ
tity) and D14,16 (sign CSB2, SBO2) and fed to the modulators. Control register D9 supplies the interĆ
nal gain switch (IGS) control on the individual modulators.
The MSG-S contains four 16 to 1 multiplexers (D5,6,10,11) for evaluation of the analog transmitter
BIT channels including temperature measurement circuits (N45,46) for CA-100C, MOD-110 and
MSG-S itself. In DVOR installations additional 16 inputs (located on BSG-D in ASU rack) are fed
to input 15* (signal ADVOR) of multiplexer 1 (D5).
The MSG-C calls the BIT signals via control register D7,9. The signals are fed to the sample and hold
circuit N43,44 and converted to digital signals with A/D converter 1 (D8) or 2 (D12) and read for further
processing in the MSG-C. The digital BIT signals from the synthesizer and modulators available at
input register D17,18 are selected via Decoder D4 and read via the data bus from the MSG-C.
* (counting 0 to 15 for a 16 input multiplexer it means IN14)
The location of the two MSG-S (transmitter 1 and 2) is shown in Fig. 2-6.

Equipment Description Monitor Subassemblies
2.3.4 Monitor Subassemblies
The monitor section, which has its own microprocessor, monitors the radiated signal and detects any
errors or faults that might be critical for aviation. In addition to executive tasks, the monitor data can
be used to identify any deviations or minor deficiencies in performance at an early stage, insofar as
they might have a detrimental effect on the future continuity of service or system availability (warning
monitor). The response to an alarm is a logic-controlled changeover or disconnection of the transĆ
mitters. This logic is described here together with the monitor subassemblies. The monitor subasĆ
semblies thus comprise:
- Monitor signal processor (MSP-VD)

- Control and selector logic (CSL)
2.3.4.1 Monitor Signal Processor (MSP-VD)

See Fig. 2-23, 2-24.
The MSP-VD is used in both the CVOR and DVOR systems. In the case of DVOR, two additional 9960
Hz directional voltages of the antenna switching unit (ASU) are evaluated. The MSP-VD ensures that
only correct navigation signals are radiated. If the navigation signals are found to contain errors, the
monitor signal processor initiates a changeover to the standby transmitter and disconnects the curĆ
rently active transmitter. If the standby transmitter also radiates incorrect navigation signals, it is disĆ
connected as well. The measurement units of the MSP-VD contain the demodulation, sampling and
conversion of the RF signal of the monitor dipole, processing of the signals of the ASU (DVOR) for
sideband antenna monitoring, processing of test generator signals and measurement of BIT signals.
The voice/signal is taken directly from the output of MUX1 to amplifier (N7) which permits spoken anĆ
nouncements to be heard, along with any other messages which are modulated onto the CVOR or
DVOR signal, such as meteorological data in the AF band. Headphones or a high-impedance loudĆ
speaker can be connected to jack X12. The main functional units of the MSP-VD are as follows:
- RF section for processing the monitor dipole signal

- AF signal processing
- Digital section with I/O ports
- Monitor processor with peripherals

Monitor Subassemblies Equipment Description
The field signal received from the monitor dipole is filtered by a band-pass filter for the 108...118 MHz
frequency band; it then passes through a switchable attenuator (N2,8,9) and is supplied to the AGC
amplifier (N10..12). The setting of the AGC amplifier is carried out by the monitor processor via D/A
converters N1,4. The user adjusts the control level of the RF attenuator so that the monitor measures
100 % RF level (normalization at RF level=100 %). The value set is not changed by the monitor during
monitoring. The downstream RF demodulator (V26,27,N15,16) supplies an envelope of the CVOR/
DVOR signal to the analog 8:1 multiplexer MUX1 (N6) which is used as preselector of one of the signal
sources for further processing:
- demodulated RF signal composed of dc, 30 Hz AM reference signal, 9960 Hz subcarrier
modulated with 30 Hz FM, 1020 Hz identity, optional voice
- signal from test generator (ATE1) composed of dc, 30 Hz reference signal, 9960 Hz subcarrier
modulated with 30 Hz FM
- 9960 Hz modulated with 30 Hz AM (DVOR)
- dc + superimposed ac voltages (DVOR)
The 1020 Hz frequency with the identification is filtered out directly to an individual evaluation chain.
In order to allow the presence of coded identification signals to be monitored with the necessary modĆ
ulation depth, the 1020 Hz identification signal is supplied via a band-pass filter (N18), then rectified
(N21) and fed via a 10 Hz low pass filter to an identification level discriminator (N22) to confirm that
the set threshold limits have not been exceeded. Each time a transition occurs from an identification
interval to an identification code (1020 Hz), a flip-flop output is set and interrogated by the microproĆ
cessor. The microprocessor resets the flip-flop again after the interrogation. If a correct identification
signal is not detected, the flip-flop is not set and an identification alarm is indicated.
All the other signals which pass through the MUX1 are amplified and filtered out in the AF signal procĆ
essing section for subsequent evaluation and processing. The results of these circuits and the result
of the demodulated identification are supplied to a further 8:1 multiplexer MUX2 (N24). The signals
fed to the MUX2 are:
- DC + 30 Hz AM (from RC low pass filter)

- dc offset + 30 Hz FM (from FM demodulator V17...21)
- dc + superimposed interference (from AM demodulator N17, V24,25))
- reserve (signal ATE5, used for test purposes)
- dc keyed with Morse code (from output 1020 Hz identity signal demodulator N21)
The output of MUX2 is fed to a 60 Hz low pass filter which amplifies and suppresses the high frequency
interference components of the FM demodulator signal and the 9960 Hz subcarrier rectifier signal
(9960 Hz and harmonics). This signal is fed to channel 0 of a 16:1 multiplexer MUX3 (N28). In addition
the 9960 Hz subcarrier rectified signal is directly fed to the channel 15 of the MUX3. The other channels
of MUX3 are assigned to BIT signals of the dc converter. The output of MUX3 supplies the signals
selected by the processor to a sample and hold circuit (N29) and the A/D converter (N30). The freĆ
quency signals of the synthesizer are fed to a digital 8:1 multiplexer MUX (D31) and selected for freĆ
quency measurement in circuit D32. The measurement is executed for carrier (CVOR,DVOR) and upĆ
per and lower sideband (DVOR only). Depending on the interrupt scheme, the processor requests
the respective instantaneous value for evaluation. The measurement and evaluation of the signals
(first order parameter) including the frequency measurement results of D32 are executed in a fixed
monitoring time frame based on the 960 Hz interrupt signal. Each 960 Hz interrupt marks a measuring
interval. That means the processor is informed that a new measuring value at the A/D converter (N30)
is ready for transfer. The measurement of the analog BIT signals at MUX3 and the evaluation of the
indication signal are integrated in the general channel timing.

The A/D conversion control (D33,34) is supplied with a 960 Hz timing signal from the frequency meaĆ
suring circuit D32. A trigger pulse, which is tripped by this signal and supplied to the sample and hold
circuit, enables the instantaneous values of the waiting signals to be sampled there. A second trigger
pulse starts the A/D conversion in the A/D converter (N30). The output signals (data values) are supĆ
plied to the monitor processor via the data bus. The monitor processor determines the DC component
and the signal components of the 30 Hz fundamental from 32 samples and supplies measured values
for the RF level, the 30 Hz AM and the 30 Hz FM. It also calculates the azimuth from the vectors of
the 30 Hz AM and the 30 Hz FM. It also determines the modulation depth and the signal "keying presĆ
ent" for the 1020 Hz identification signal. The calculated results are compared against stored nominal
values. If the programmed alarm limits are exceeded a reaction is initiated.
The results of the monitoring are supplied to the Local Control Panel (LCP) to inform the operator at
any time about the actual status of the installation. The data is exchanged with the LCP via a serial
RS 232 interface (D19,22). The communication is interrupt controlled via the serial communication
controller (SCC) D16. The baud rate is 19200 Hz. The LCP is master for starting a data exchange. It
permanently requests the indication information from the monitors. The communication flow is indiĆ
cated by LED at the front panel of the MSP-VD board.
The monitor processor comprises an 80C186 microprocessor (D1) and the peripherals needed for
various purposes. The processor functions are defined by the associated software. A live LED at the
front panel of the MSP-VD board indicates operation of the processor. The processor and its periphĆ
erals have the following structure:
- Processor clock 20 MHz

- External address bus, buffered
- External data bus, buffered
- External control bus, buffered
- 16-bit register OUT, 3x
- 16-bit register IN, 2x
- 8-bit register IN, 1x
- RS232 interface, 2x
- 1 MB EPROM
- 256 KB RAM, non-volatile, battery-backed
- Supply failure monitor
- Watchdog timer
The monitor checks the EPROM sets (D7,8) during the initialization phase. The checksum of each
EPROM is stored in the EEPROM (D35). The input/output registers are used for transmitter control
signals to the CSL (D18,21,27), status signals from the synthesizer (D26), internal control (D24,25,
D28,29), feedback (D30) and coordination signals (D17,20) for executive monitoring and status exĆ
change with the co-monitor.
The location of the two MSP-VD (transmitter 1 and 2) is shown in Fig. 2-6.

Fig. 2-25 Control and Selector Logic (CSL), overview

ON/OFF logic (Fig. 2-26): After initial on with power switches TX1 or TX2 the transmitter 1 and/or
2 can be switched on and off by entering a command code either at the LCP or at the local PC, by
the remote control or by an internal switching command from the monitor processor. The Off-comĆ
mand from the LCP can be inhibited removing jumpers X13, X14. As soon as transmitter 1 or 2 is
switched on, the DCC-MVD receives its ON signal for the ASU. The transmitter is switched on and
off as follows: an On/Off command is sent to the logic (D25,16,7) of the CSL. The output signals of
this logic are fed to two flip-flop circuits (D32) which are set or reset by this signal or a manual key
switch at the front of the CSL board. The output supplies the driver switches (V50,51) for the individual
electronic switch control of the dc converter of both transmitters and ORed via NAND gate (D18), the
electronic switch control (V86,87) for the dc converter of both monitors. The TXOn state is indicated
for each with LED's at the front of the CSL board. The dc converters of the monitors and the ASU are
switched off only if both transmitters are switched off (output of D18="1"). A power-on reset (D25)
sets the Flip-Flop circuits and circuits for control of a collocated DME (Fig. 2-29) to a defined state.
Circuits D35,36 are programmed logic arrays used to select the monitor mode (D36) and the monitor
fault reaction. In the event of an alarm or fault, a transmitter is disconnected as soon as the monitor
processor concerned receives the error message and sends an OFF command to the ON/OFF logic.
The control command from this logic causes the output voltages of the DC converters concerned to
be switched off.

Coaxial relay control (Fig. 2-27): The transmitters are switched to either the antenna or a dummy
load locally, by remote control or by MSP 1 or 2. The RF paths are changed over by means of up to
4 coaxial relays. The position of each relay is announced to the MSP's as BIT signals RFR1..4 via logic
circuits D21..24. To avoid unnecessary strain on the relays a changeover should be carried out withĆ
out TX power. For this a status flag is set on the CSL (D16/D31/2) which causes blanking of TX power
during, and keying after a changeover. BIT signals are generated via D31/1 and fed to MSP or DME
interface.

Battery monitoring (Fig. 2-28): In case of mains failure the power supply is continued without interĆ
ruption by the connected emergency batteries. This means that the battery parameters have to be
tested to ensure the availability. The battery monitoring circuit (N15) measures the battery parameĆ
ters. The results are evaluated and respective actions are executed by the processor of the LCP. The
signals 1/2 (UBAT1±) and full (UBAT2±) battery voltage, battery current (IBAT±) and installation current
(ILOAD±) are supplied via differential amplifiers (N12) to the input of 16:1 multiplexer MUX (D11). The
current is proportional to the voltage drop over a resistor (0.002 W) located on the BCPS connection
panel (cabinet) in the negative supply lines to battery and installation. The signals selected are meaĆ
sured with the digital voltmeter DVM (D14) and fed to the LCP. The battery current is used as an indicaĆ
tion of the available battery capacity. As a result the DC converters for TX1/2 first are deactivated by
software command if the capacity falls below a programmed minimum value.

DVOR 432
The processor of the LCP, the CSL and the modems remain operational until the battery voltage drops
to a selectable value again. To prevent over-discharge, a voltage comparing circuit (N15) additionally
enables the overcurrent circuit breaker (H1..3) on the PMM. The standard protection is activated if
the battery voltage drops to a selectable value (with X19,20,21) or a user defined value with resistor
"R". After a delay of (D13) about 45 seconds, if mains has not returned the over-current circuit breakĆ
ers (H3 on PMM) are tripped electromagnetically by V36 in order to disconnect the batteries from the
transmitter cabinet. Since the batteries are completely discharged the mains power supply must be
restored as soon as possible, or they will have to be recharged elsewhere to avoid damage. The instalĆ
lation has to be activated manually by TX1 and TX2 on the PMM. An automatic restoration of the instalĆ
lation after mains failure is available as a PMM option. This restoration is effected by circuits N9,14
and V35. For additional information refer to section "PMM". To the MUX (D11) can be supplied up to
6 external measurement voltages (range ±20 Vdc) via X84 and 2 externally connected temperature
sensors PT1000 (monitoring limits -50 °C/+200 °C) via X81/1,2 and 3,4 on BP-C.

DME interface (Fig. 2-29): The function of DME interface is to through-connect the identification
code or the identification sync. signal of the CVOR/DVOR if they are collocated with a DME, so that
the CVOR/DVOR and the DME identifications are synchronized according to a defined pattern. If one
of the systems fails, the system which is still operational is informed by means of a digital signal. A
DVOR failure causes the DME identification to fall out of sync with the DVOR. A DME failure is reported
to the MSP-VD of the DVOR. Jumper on the CSL allow to match the exchange signals to the colloĆ
cated DME. Electrical isolation is ensured by the optocouplers in the interface functional group.

Test Generator (Fig. 2-30): The test generator is an independent functional unit which generates
ILS/CVOR/DVOR AF-test signals to check the monitor. The test signals are stored in the EPROM
D9,10 (12 bit data). The memory is divided into an ILS range (16 test signals) and a CVOR/DVOR
range (16 test signals). These ranges are selected with jumper X17:
- X17 closed: ILS
- X17 open: CVOR/DVOR
The individual test signals can be selected with the rotary switch (S6) on the front of the CSL. The
switch has 16 hexadecimal coded positions (0 to F). Position 0 selects test signal 0, position 1 test
signal 1, etc. The test signals for CVOR/DVOR are so-called composite signals made up of a DC
component (approx. 6.8 V), a 30 Hz oscillation and the frequency-modulated 9960 Hz subcarrier.
The identification component is not part of the composite signals. The 9960 Hz subcarrier is frequenĆ
cy-modulated with a 30 Hz sine signal. The frequency deviation is ±480 Hz, which corresponds to
a modulation index of 480/30 = 16 (wideband FM). The phase between the 30 Hz AM and the 30 Hz
FM is 0° in the "0" position of the rotary switch and 90° in the "2" position. Like in an ILS system, the
signal of the test generator is part of the monitoring concept of a CVOR/DVOR system. This signal
is ideal for calibrating the phase evaluation of the two monitors, since it is generated digitally and is
thus extremely accurate. The accuracy of the monitor phase evaluation can be established and caliĆ
brated in the 0° phase position, for example. If the switch is then set to the 90° phase position, this
value must be confirmed by the monitors. In addition, the test generator signal supplies the exact
modulation depths of the 30 Hz reference oscillation and the 9960 Hz subcarrier (30 % modulation
depth each). In other words, it enables all the important measurements performed by the monitors
to be verified.
The following signals are assigned to the switch positions in the CVOR/DVOR range:
- 0 30 Hz AM, 30 %; 9960 Hz AM, 30 %; 30 Hz FM Mod.-Index=16; Azimuth= 0 degrees
- 2 30 Hz AM, 30 %; 9960 Hz AM, 30 % 30 Hz FM Mod.-Index=16; Azimuth= 90 degrees
- 3 30 Hz AM, 30 %; 9960 Hz AM, 30 %; 30 Hz FM Mod.-Index=16; Azimuth=135 degrees
- 4 30 Hz AM, 30 %; 9960 Hz AM, 30 % 30 Hz FM Mod.-Index=16; Azimuth=180 degrees
- A 30 Hz AM, 30 %; 9960 Hz AM, 30 %; 30 Hz FM Mod.-Index=15; Azimut= 0 degrees

Equipment Description LRCI Subassemblies
2.3.5 LRCI Subassemblies
The local remote communication interface functional unit (LRCI) is the focal point for communication
between the various functional groups, the local control panel (LCP) and the remote control, and is
also used for certain other services (input for voice, weather report from the tower, etc.). The LRCI
consists of the following subassemblies:
- Local control panel (LCP)

- Modem for dedicated line (LGM1200MD)
- Modem for switched line (LGM 28.8)
- Voice amplifier (VAM)
Each installation contains an LCP, which controls the LRCI functions and is responsible for local conĆ
trol and the local main status of the station. In addition to the serial interfaces for communication with
the monitor and transmitter processors (MSP-VD and MSG-C), it has an RS232 interface for conĆ
necting the local control unit to a standard PC with the ADRACS software and controls communicaĆ
tion with the remote site via the modems. The LCP is supplied by an individual DC-Converter module
/3 on the DCC-3-05 board with +5 V and with ±15 V from the DC converter on the CSL.
(ADRACS = Automatic Data Recording And Control System)
2.3.5.1 Local Control Panel (LCP)

LRCI Subassemblies Equipment Description
2.3.5.1.1 Local Control CPU (LC-CPU)

See Fig. 2-32.
The LC-CPU and its processor is the switching center between the operator side (local or remote)
and the four subsystems of a dual Navaids system (two transmitters and two monitors). Its most imĆ
portant tasks are as follows:
- Communication control and communication with the various functional units

(e.g. transmitter internal, other systems like DME etc.)
- Sequence control
- Executive commands (e.g. to CSL via CSL connector X6)
- Local display control and local operation
- Remote control
- Battery measurement and monitoring
The LC-CPU board is equipped for these tasks with the peripherals needed for various purposes.
The CPU function is built by an individual CPU board (DIMM-PC/386-I, PC104 compatible), which
is inserted to a connector on the LC-CPU board. The processor functions are defined by the associĆ
ated software. The respective memory area (EEPROM, DRAM, Flash memory) is located on the CPU
board. The real-time clock is battery backed enabled via X36. The supervisory controller (D83) manĆ
ages the battery voltage supervision, watch dog enabling (X35) and reset switch (S2). A live LED (H1)
connected to the supervisory controller indicates the LC-CPU is operable.
The LC-CPU board provides 10 serial communication ports. The serial communication controllers
(SCC) used have two channels each. Each channel has its own interrupt connected to an interrupt
request line on the PC104 bus. The serial controller clock input for baud rate generation is 1.8432 MHz
(standard PC COM). Three serial ports are provided with a jumper selectable signal interface which
can be set to RS232, RS422, RS485 or TTL. Each selectable port has an associated jumper bank:
- port 3: X95, X24, X41, X25...32
- port 4: X99, X15, X40, X16...23
- port 5: X8, X9, X11...14, X37...39
The following equipment functions and components are controlled via the serial interfaces:
- Communication between the transmitter and monitor processors (channel 1, 2, 9, 10)
- Communication with the local PC control unit (ADRACS software) (channel 8)
- Communication with the remote PC control unit via modem (channel 6)
- Communication with other equipment via serial interface or modem (channel 5)
- Additional communication channels via serial interface or modem, spare (channel 3, 4, 7)
The LC-CPU board provides several I/O registers with specialized signal function. After reset all outĆ
put register are cleared to zero. The Input/Output register function is used mainly to control both transĆ
mitters. Registers 4, 5 (IN) and 6 (OUT) are used for control of battery measurement on the CSL. The
Local Control Interface (LCI) is controlled via registers 4,5 (OUT) and 3 (IN). On/Off commands for
TX1,2 are supplied to CSL via register 3 (OUT). Feedback signals from CSL (TX1on/TX2on) and BCPS
unit 1,2,3,4 ('exist') are fed to register 6 (IN). They are used for information in the BIT program of the
LC-CPU. The number of installed ACC converter is entered by the user. Signal BFUSE from the batĆ
tery switch signals an interruption of battery supply and is led via optocoupler (Addin1) and register
7 (IN) to the LC-CPU. The other additional optocoupler inputs (Addin2..4) are spare. The command
BCPS OFF supplied via optocoupler (Addout 2) and register 7 (OUT) to the BCPS, is used only if a
battery is installed and the battery capacity set is not 0 Ah. Additional executive commands (AdĆ
dout1,3,4) are supplied via register 7 (OUT) to optocouplers. They are used for management of the
battery over-discharge protection (Addout1, 3, 4). Outputs Addout 5,6 are spare.

Auxiliary optocoupler isolated inputs via register 1,2 (IN) and optocoupler isolated outputs via register
1,2 (OUT) may be used for additional features of the user. The parallel, isolated inputs and outputs
can be reserved for various analog signals to supply additional information (e.g. burglary alarm, fire
etc.). The auxiliary inputs (IAUX8..15) can be set to high or low level logic with jumper X81..84. The
auxiliary outputs and inputs are available on top of the cabinet via Sub-D connectors.
The battery backup function on the LC-CPU board is connected to the CPU board for real-time
clock supply. The battery is a 0.8 Ah non rechargeable Lithium cell with a voltage rating of 3.6 V. For
battery backup to work, jumper X36 must be closed. The battery function is enabled if jumper X36
is closed. The battery voltage is compared against a fixed reference voltage. If the voltage drops to
<2.9 V a BIT signal is generated by the supervisory circuit D83.
The LC-CPU has its own RESET signal controlled by the switch S2 at the supervisory circuit D83.
This signal is ORed with the reset on the CPU board. The watch-dog on the LC-CPU board is active
if jumper X35 is closed and if enabled by software.
Additional connectors are provided on the LC-CPU board but not used. They are designed for optioĆ
nal connections of a keyboard (X10), printer (X53), an ethernet line (X100) or DME/NDB (X50 to 52).

2.3.5.2.1 Dedicated Line Modem LGM1200MD
See Fig. 2-36.
The LGM 1200MD is a universally applicable half duplex permanent line modem. The data transfer
rate is 1200 or 600 bit/s. The LGM 1200MD (MD=multidrop) is optimised for operation on permanent
two-wire lines in the so called party line mode. In this case, several modems are served by a control
station via one line only (polling mode). On replacement, the LGM1200MD is used instead of the
ZUA29. It occupies one LGM slot.
The LGM 1200MD operates in the voice band with FSK modulation, i.e. frequency shift keying in con-
formity with V.23 at 1300 and 2100 Hz with up to 1200 bit/s and 1300 and 1700 Hz with up to 600
bit/s. The data transfer method is half duplex or simplex. Generation of interfering trailing bits (on
deactivation of the remote transmitter) is largely excluded by process–controlled ”fast clamping” of
the received data. In the asynchronous mode, data transfer from 0 to 1200 bit/s or 0 to 600 bit/s is
possible, independently of the code and speed. A microcomputer controls and monitors all functions
of the LGM. Parameters for the processor and processor–independent circuitry can be influenced
by means of 14 adjacent coding switches. A power–on self–test is run. LEDs indicate transmit and
receive data activity or line seizure. The connected trunk lines are accessible via an ISEP test socket
on the front panel. (for monitoring the analog line signal). When the ”TEST” key on the front panel
is pressed, the modem is switched to the ”close range analog loop” (without transmitter) while the key
is pressed. This is also active during the transmission phase (the connection is then aborted).
In half duplex mode on two–wire connections, the participating data transmission equipment each
seizes the telephone line in succession. The respective DTE responsible for transmission controls
operation with the 105/S2/RTS (ready to send) signal. This activates the modem’s carrier. The DTE
must only offer data to the modem via the 103/D1/TD line once a specific delay after ready to send
has elapsed and the modem has switched the 106/M2/CTS (clear to send). During the delay time
between the ”ready to send” 105/S2/RTS and ”clear to send” 106/M2/CTS signals, the signal detector
of the receiving modem will already react and will adapt the clock signals of the receiver to the clock
pulse of the incoming signals.

With the 109/M5/DCD (receive signal level) signal, the receiving modem indicates that it is capable
of forwarding received data (104/D2/RD). If the 109/M5/DCD (receive signal level) signal is not in the
ON state, the receive interface line (104/D2/RD) is in the ”I” state. A so–called fast clamping circuit
is integrated in the LGM1200MD to avoid trailing bits during reception. It is processor–controlled, with
the result that no more than 1 byte can occur as a trailing byte.
NOTE: When using the LGM1200MD the permanent line must be equipped with a termination
(600 Ohm/47 nF parallel) at the point where it ends (station and remote ends). The R/C
combination can be soldered onto the 9pin SubD connector together with the two-wire
line.
The location of the LGM1200D is shown in Fig. 2-6.
2.3.5.2.2 Switched Line Modem LGM 28.8D1

See Fig. 2-37.
The LGM 28.8 are high speed modems for duplex operation which support all common duplex moduĆ
lation procedures. The modems are designed for synchronous as well as asynchronous data transĆ
mission according to the following CCITT modulation modes: V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, and
V.21, which have implemented the data securing procedures according to V.42 and MNP4. Data comĆ
pressing to increase the baud rate is implemented according to V.42bis and MNP5. These procedures
enable a practical fault free transmission between two data terminal equipment (DTE) units. DependĆ
ing on the procedure the transmission rate can be increased up to 38400 Bd (autobaud) using V.42bis
and the AT -mode/reliable mode. The modems can also communicate with modems from other venĆ
dors at the same transmission rates, providing these modems comply with CCITT Recommendations
V.22 and V.22bis.
Software configuration is possible using AT or DNL commands while hardware configuration is perĆ
formed employing the DIP switches located at the bottom and on one side of the module. It is deĆ
signed for operation in public switched networks and consequently equipped with an integrated autoĆ
matic dialing facility (IAWD). Data connections can however also be set up by the subscriber dialing
manually and pressing the data key. Point-to-point operation on dedicated lines (leased or tie lines)
is likewise possible. Almost all the modem functions can be set by the data terminal equipment (DTE)
using a command set in accordance with CCITT Recommendation V.25bis. Correct operation of the
microprocessor and the signal processors is monitored by an integrated circuit, which initiates a
"master reset" if one of these processors malfunctions (watchdog).
A data connection can be set up by means of either the integrated automatic dialing facility or the
automatic call acceptance feature. It is also possible to dial out or to accept incoming calls manually.
No dialing takes place on dedicated lines. All the V.25bis commands and messages are exchanged
via the interfaces which are also used to transfer the actual data. After a call request with identification,
the LGM checks whether the subscriber line is already busy, i.e. whether the subscriber is in the proĆ
cess of making a call.
If not, the outside line is seized. The LGM then transmits the dialed digits which have previously been
transmitted by the DTE. After the dialing procedure, an intermittent 1300 Hz tone is transmitted and
the modem waits for a constant 2100 Hz answer tone. As soon as this answer tone - which is transĆ
mitted by modems with an automatic call acceptance facility - is identified, the two modems start
the prolog (handshake).
A data connection can only be terminated by the DTE, unless there is no carrier for more than 250
ms/10 s. In this case, the line seizure is canceled by the LGM. Eighteen switches are provided on the
2-48 Ed. 01.04

pc board for presetting the seven different operating modes, the four communication protocols and
various other parameters. A self-test is performed each time the modem is switched on. The default
setup is as follows: 2400 bd, V.22bis, autodial.
If autodial is set, the connection is set up automatically by the modem. The telephone number is notiĆ
fied to the modem by means of a request (command). This call request with identification can be preĆ
ceded by a command for setting the transmission parameters. The command and the desired data
(transmission parameters and telephone number) can be transmitted automatically using the comĆ
munication software, i.e. the user does not need to concern him or herself with this.

2.3.5.3 Voice Amplifier (VAM)

See Fig. 2-38.
The voice amplifier is supplied optional on request. It can be used in 100 W versions only. The task
of this subassembly is to process the voice signals received from the tower via a separate two-wire
telecommunications line to enable them to be supplied to the carrier modulator of the transmitter via
the modulation signal generator (MSG-S).
One part of the input stage of the VAM is located on the motherboard of the transmitter rack. It includes
two surge arresters, a transformer for potential isolation of the VAM from the telecommunication line
and - in the secondary circuit - a voltage-dependent zinc oxide protective resistor (VDR). On the
printed circuit board itself are further protective diodes (CR1..4) to prevent the AGC amplifier (IC3)
against remaining over-voltage conditions. IC3 contains two amplifiers and an AGC detector. The
gain is internally controlled as a function of the amplitude of the output via the AGC detector. IC3 is
supplied by the precise voltage regulator IC1.
The output signal of the AGC amplifier is amplified by 24 dB in IC5/1. It then drives the compressor
IC7 and the threshold switch control via IC5/2. The compressor reduces short-term amplitude flucĆ
tuations in the AF signal. The signal then passes via an attenuating amplifier (IC8) to a 300 Hz high-
pass filter (IC9, 10) and a 3000 Hz low-pass filter (IC12, 13) for protection of the navigation signals.
The notch filter (IC11) eliminates from the voice signal the frequency components which are either
at the code frequency (1020 Hz) or very close to it. The threshold switch (Q1, Q2, IC4) prevents moduĆ
lation of the transmitter by the VAM if the voice signal is too weak, or if there is no voice signal at all.
The switch control signal is generated in the comparator IC4/1. The comparator is supplied first with
the rectified output signal of IC5/2 via IC6 and second with a threshold value derived from the voltage
regulator IC1 via decoupling circuit IC2/1. If the conditioned audio signal is below the set threshold
FET Q2 becomes conductive driven by transistor Q1 and the output of the VAM will be disabled. The
modulation factor of the transmitter can be set by means of a soldered resistor (R33) in the feedback
branch of the output amplifier (IC2/2).
The location of the VAM is shown in Fig. 2-6.

Equipment Description Power Supply Subassemblies
2.3.6 Power Supply
The power supply of the Navaids installation is taken from mains (nom. 115 to 230 VAC) or from an
existing DC power supply (nom. 48 V). The equipment contains therefore a mains module with battery
charger (BCPS). The BCPS is modular in a building-block concept with several AC/DC converters
ACC-54 connected in parallel, and several DC/DC converters to generate the necessary voltages.
The location of the AC/DC and DC/DC converters is shown in Fig. 2-6.
2.3.6.1 Overview DC/DC Converter

A total of 5 DC converters (used for DVOR 50 W), or 7 DC converters (used for DVOR 100 W) are reĆ
quired for the DC voltage supply in a dual equipment version; these are subdivided into four groups:
Group 1 supplies transmitter 1 and comprises the following units:
- DC converter +28 V/11 A nom., +15 V/2,5 A, -15 V/1 A, +5 V/3 A (DCC-MV)
- DC converter +28 V/14 A (DCC-28), used in 100 W version
Group 2 supplies transmitter 2 and comprises the following units:
- DC converter +28 V/11 A nom., +15 V/2,5 A, -15 V/1 A, +5 V/3 A (DCC-MV)
- DC converter +28 V/14 A (DCC-28), used in 100 W version
Group 1 is supplied with the supply voltage of +54 V by over-current circuit breaker TX1 (subassemĆ
bly PMM), and group 2 is supplied via TX2 (subassembly PMM). Group 1 (group 2) is switched on
and off via an on/off pulse from the LCP via the CSL. The output command for disconnection in case
of a fault is issued by the MSP. Normal ON/OFF commands are entered manually via the local control
interface (LCI), the local PC or the Remote Control. In single DVOR versions group 2 is not available.
Group 3 and 4 DC-converter modules are located on one printed circuit board DCC-3-05. Group
3 supplies the monitors and comprises the following units:
- DC converter +5.1 V/1.2 A (DCC-3-05/module 1), Monitor 1

- DC converter +5.1 V/1.2 A (DCC-3-05/module 2), Monitor 2
The two DC converters are linked on the input side by an OR circuit; they obtain their supply voltage
of 54 VDC via over-current circuit breakers TX1 and/or TX2. In single versions of the DVOR the
DCC-3-05/module 2 is not used.
Group 4 supplies the units belonging to the LRCI and the CSL and comprises the following unit:
- DC converter +5.1 V/5 A (DCC-3-05/module 3), LRCI, CSL
NOTE: The supply voltage of the DC converter described here is a rated 54 V for mains operation
or 48 V for battery operation. In mains operation the operating voltage may rise to 65 V;
in battery operation it may fall to 43 V (monitoring limits). The permitted input voltage
range of the DC converter is therefore between 43 and 65 V. The term "variable input voltĆ
age" has therefore been used in a number of cases in the description which follows. The
various voltage specifications should therefore be interpreted within this context.

Power Supply Subassemblies Equipment Description
2.3.6.2 DC Converter Modules 5 V (DCC-3-05)

See Fig. 2-39.
The DCC-3-05 subassembly is a DC converter which generates a stabilized output voltage from
a nominal input voltage of 54VDC (operating range 40...65V). The DCC-3-05 consists of three indiĆ
vidual DC/DC converter modules 1 to 3 which supply 5.1 V/1.2 A each for the monitor subassemblies
and 5.1 V/5 A for the LRCI subassemblies. The converter modules are subdivided into a primary and
a secondary section. The two sections are electrically isolated from each other in the power stage
by a transformer. The DC supply voltage is converted into an AC voltage in a feedback controlled flyĆ
back converter using current mode pulse width modulation. The 5 A module 3 (5 A) uses a forward
converter with a clock frequency of 30 kHz. The output is directly monitored and feedback to the priĆ
mary control circuit via a pulse transformer, resulting in tight regulation of the output voltage. Current
limitation is provided by the primary circuit. For the monitor supply modules the on/off signal for both
DC/DC modules for the monitors is coupled via optocouplers to the inhibit input. The DCC-3-05
are activated and deactivated by manually actuating the switches on the subassembly PMM or by
means of the Tx On and Tx Off commands via software.

2.3.6.3 DC Converter MV (DCC-MV)
See Fig. 2-40.
The DCC-MV subassembly is a DC converter, which generates four stabilized output voltages from
a nominal input voltage of 54 V DC (operating range 40...65 V). The DCC-MV supplies the voltages
below at the output:
+28 V, nominal 11 A, max. 14 A
+15 V, 2.5A
-15 V, 1 A
+5.2 V, 3 A.
These voltages are referenced to a common neutral. The DCC-MV comprises a primary and secondĆ
ary section. The two sections of the device are electrically isolated from each other both in the power
section and in the control and monitoring circuit by means of transformers and optocouplers. In addiĆ
tion the primary on/off signal is coupled also via optocoupler. A LED located on the front signals the
presence of the output voltage. The main functional units of the DCC-MV are:
V Power section
- Primary safety and softstart circuit
- Input filter
- Power conversion stage 28 V
- Power conversion stage 5 V and ±15 V
- Rectifier and output filter
- Voltage regulators for ±15V
V Control and monitoring section
- Primary controller including
auxiliary voltage generator,
control input On/off,
oscillator, pulse width modulator, controller,
driver stage
- Secondary controller and monitor including
voltage and current monitor 28 V and 5 V,
over/under-voltage and temperature monitor,
BIT/Alarm signalling
The DC supply voltage is converted into an AC voltage in a forward converter (FWC) for 28 V and a
flyback-converter (FBC) for 5 V and ±15 V. Both converter work with a clock frequency of approxiĆ
mately 100 kHz. A transformers each, which also ensures electrical isolation of the secondary section,
transforms the input voltage to the required output voltage. The dc converter is primary protected
against overcurrent or short circuit by means of fuse NSI1 (30 A).
If the input voltage is connected incorrectly, diode D1 will be enabled and the fuse is blown to prevent
any damage. R1 prevents against overvoltage peaks up to 130 VAC. The power section is initially isoĆ
lated from the input by means of the FET transistors T1,T2, which are controlled by IC1 and act as
primary on/off switch. The ON or OFF command which enables the main and auxiliary voltage is supĆ
plied via optocoupler IC2.
The incoming voltage is smoothed and noise is suppressed by L/C elements in the input filter. The
voltage is reduced in the power conversion stage by means of electronically controlled chopping. IC5
as primary control circuit generates the chopping frequency of 100 kHz and controls both the driver
stage T11...12,TR6 for the 28 V power section with OUT1 (FWC) and directly the 5 V/±15 V power
section with OUT2 (FBC).

The 28 V driver stage in turn controls the 28 V power section (FWC) consisting of FET transistors T3,4,
building a bridge with D2,3. The bridge circuit chops the DC voltage. The chopped DC voltage is transĆ
formed by TR2 to the desired value, then rectified and smoothed via an output filter.
The 5 V/±15 V power section (FBC) consists of FET transistor T5 and transformator TR3. T5 chops
the DC voltage. The chopped DC voltage is transformed by TR3 to three desired values with three
secondary windings. For the 5 V path the output voltage is rectified and smoothed via an output filter.
The secondary output current is monitored via the voltage drop on a series resistor. For the ±15 V
path the output voltages are rectified, smoothed and regulated to +15 V or -15 V with integrated voltĆ
age regulators IC101, 102. The regulated voltages are led via an smoothing output filter to the output.
The input voltage for the auxiliary voltage generator is extracted after the smoothing stage. The auxilĆ
iary voltage for primary and secondary controller and monitoring circuits is generated by an individual
converter built by IC3, T8 and TR5. It works with a clock frequency of approx. 100 kHz.
The output voltage is regulated directly via the turn-on time of the power stage in order to obtain
stabilized voltages of 28 V and 5 V. This regulation is implemented via the primary controller (IC5),
which obtains its information from the various current and voltage sensor circuits. The regulation
takes the form of changes in the pulse width, suppression of single clock pulses and deactivation.
The operational reliability of the converter is ensured by a number of monitoring circuits. The power
stages are protected against overvoltage, undervoltage and overcurrent conditions. It is interlocked
in the event of an automatic deactivation resulting from an overvoltage condition. This interlock can
be cancelled by interrupting the power supply or by entering the Tx OFF and Tx ON commands at
the keyboard of the rack or software command (PC).
A primary or secondary overcurrent condition will lead to pulse width control, which causes the output
voltage to be reduced. The current transformers TR1,TR4 monitor the primary power sections for
overcurrent conditions, whilst the secondary output current is monitored via the voltage drop on a
series resistor for the 28 V and 5 V path. As BIT signal a switch function, which indicates operation
of the DC converter, is implemented. In the event of a malfunction FET transistor T102 becomes conĆ
ductive and the front LED does not light.

2.3.6.4 DC Converter 28 V (DCC-28)

See Fig. 2-41.
The DCC 28 subassembly is a DC converter, which generates a stabilized output voltage of 28 V from
a nominal input voltage of 54 V DC (operating range 40...65 V). The nominal value of the output curĆ
rent is 14 A. The DCC-28 comprises a primary and secondary section. The two sections of the device
are electrically isolated from each other both in the power section and in the control and monitoring
circuit by means of transformers and optocouplers. In addition the primary on/off signal is coupled
also via optocoupler. A LED located on the front signals the presence of the output voltage.The main

2.3.6.5 Power Management

The power management module consists of current/capacity measurement by the LCP with a user
defined shut down value of the main load (transmitter) and allows continued operation of the LCP and
modem down to a cutoff threshold for over-discharge protection by the CSL if the mains is not reĆ
stored before the threshold voltage is reached. The PMM comprises an additional solid state relay
to enable the shut down of the system just before the cutoff threshold to minimize the power conĆ
sumption. If the mains is now restored before the cutoff threshold is reached the solid state relay is
switched on, the LCP and the modem becomes operational and the system can be maintained reĆ
motely. The automatic restore option is used in CVOR/DVOR installations.
2.3.6.6 Power Management Module (PMM)

See Fig. 2-42.
The PMM comprises:
- Connection terminals for the supply voltage,
- 3 Over-current circuit breakers and over-discharge relays
- 1 solid state relay
- Voltage distribution
The connection terminals take the form of solid studs to which the lines for the supply voltage (54
VDC) from the BCPS/floating battery are connected. The 0 V connection is at the same time system
and protective ground (BSE), and thus the central grounding point. The supply voltage is manually
connected first to the NAV equipment via over-current circuit breaker S3 (NAV) with a response at
>30 A and following to the DC converters of the cabinet by means of over-current circuit breakers
S1 (TX1) and S2 (TX2). S1 connects the supply voltage to the DC converter of transmitter 1, and S2
to the DC converter of transmitter 2. S1 and S2 have an over-current protection function in addition
to their manual switching function. They respond at >16 A for either switch. Following S1, S2 for the
station the voltage is distributed by an OR circuit via a solid state relay K1 to the DC converter of the
monitors, LRCI and CSL. The OR operation means that these units are operational even if only one
of circuit breakers S1 and S2 is closed. The actual voltage value for the over-discharge protection
functional group on the CSL is derived directly behind the NAV switch. The power lines to the CSL
and to K1 are protected each with a fuse: F1 (1.0 A), F2 (6.3 A).
The location of the PMM is shown in Fig. 2-6.

See Fig. 2-43.
The PMM enables an automatic restore feature for CVOR/DVOR installations. A power down cycle
in case of mains failure is initiated as follows:
After mains failure, first the remaining battery capacity is calculated from the LCP processor by meaĆ
suring the current drawn by the load. The result is compared with software-set user-defined battery
capacity limits (Ah). If these limits are reached the transmitter supplies CVOR/DVOR and the ASU supĆ
ply (DVOR) are switched off first by a digital command of the LCP processor. The batteries are relieved
as a result. Next the ACC modules of the BCPS are shutdown via optocoupler input with the LCP mesĆ
sage line Addout2. Jumper X26 on the CSL can interrupt the line to the BCPS.
To prevent cut off by the over-discharge protection circuit on the CSL (V36) the battery voltage is
compared with a jumper-set user-defined value. If this value is reached the LCP processor switches
off the LRCI and Monitor supply via solid state relay K1 with command Addout1 just before the over-
discharge protection is enabled. The hold-in circuit and the over-discharge protection circuit on the
CSL remain operational. If mains is restored before the batteries are cut off by the CSL the hold-in
circuit on the CSL (V35) switches on the solid state relay K1. The LRCI, that is LCP and modem, beĆ
come operational and the CVOR/DVOR can be maintained via remote control.

2.3.6.8 AC/DC Converter (ACC-54)

See Fig. 2-44.
The mains unit ACC-54 acts as a AC/DC converter, which generates a stabilized 54 VDC voltage obĆ
tained from the mains voltage (wide range input: 115 VAC to 230 VAC, ±15 %). It takes the form of
a push pull switched-mode converter with electrical isolation of the input and output. Up to four
mains units connected in parallel buffer a 48V battery (24 lead cells), which can supply the connected
navigation system with voltage for several hours in case of a mains power failure.
The output voltage is 54 V. This ensures that the battery charge is permanently maintained (2.25 V
per cell, standby parallel operation). The supply to the navigation system from the mains and the batĆ
tery trickle charge is still ensured in case of a power subrack failure. A power switch, a fuse, an LED
and two test jacks for the voltage ahead of the isolating diode are located on the front panel. The LED
signals the presence of the equipment output voltage, but not of the battery voltage. The AC/DC conĆ
verter consists mainly of the following functional groups:
- Input section (primary) with noise suppression filter for AC

- Power section (primary/secondary)
- Flux converter controller (primary/secondary)
- DC/DC controller (primary/secondary)
- Output section (secondary)
In the input section the input voltage of 230 VAC passes a fuse, an overvoltage protector and an RF
filter to prevent RF interference voltages, is rectified with a bridge-connected rectifier and smoothed
by an electrolytic capacitor. The subassembly also contains a resistor which limits the current inrush.
This resistor is short-circuited by a relay contact (K1A) following current stabilization.
The DC voltage generated in the mains board is chopped in the power pc board with the aid of a push
pull power circuit with a frequency of 20 kHz. The square wave voltage generated in this way is
stepped down in a transformer and rectified. The input and output of the devices are electrically isoĆ
lated with the aid of this transformer. The DC voltage generated in this way is then smoothed with the
aid of a number of chokes and filter capacitors. The voltage is fed via an RF output filter to prevent
RF interference voltages and a further fuse to the output terminals.
The output voltage is regulated by modifying the pulse width for driving the switching transistor. The
20 kHz control pulses for the transistor chopper are generated in the flux converter controller. The
output current is measured by means of the series resistor in the output line. The voltage drop at this
resistor, which is a measure of the current flow, passes to the monitor DC/DC converter, where it
serves as the actual value for current limiting. The clock generator (oscillator frequency 400 kHz) supĆ
plies after division of the frequency the generation of the auxiliary voltage and the controller DC/DC
converter.
An appropriate circuit enables the pulse width to be modified so that the output voltage can remain
roughly constant until the maximum output current of 11 A is reached. When this current is reached,
the pulse width is reduced accordingly. The resulting output characteristic is thus almost rectangular.
The input quantities received by the controller are the output voltage of 54 V and the voltage drop at
a series resistor. These quantities are used to control the pulse width by means of a nominal/actual
comparison. A further circuit interrupts generation of the control pulses in case of an over-voltage
62 V at the output of the power pc board. In such cases the output voltage is also interrupted.

- total failure of the power supply or mains
The appropriate WARNING is displayed for as long as the system is supplied with power by the batĆ
tery. The fault can be localized following manual input of a fault interrogation.

2.4.3 Analog and Digital Subassemblies
2.4.3.1 Phase Monitor and Control (PMC-D)
See Fig. 2-47.
The PMC-D generates control signals for the RF relationship between the carrier and the two sideĆ
bands as well as monitoring signals for RF phasing of the DVOR installation in the farfield. In addition
matching of the middle antenna (carrier signal) can be interrogated via the BITE routine and the funcĆ
tioning of the 50 sideband antennas monitored. The CSB, SB1 and SB2 signals are supplied by the
transmitter to the PMC-D of the antenna switching unit via the RF Duplexer.
Signal components are coupled out via couplers Z2, Z3 and Z4 for phase control of the sidebands
in the modulators MOD 110P in the transmitter and for monitoring of the antenna system and of the
RF phasing. The SB1 forward signal is coupled out via Z3, then split via Z8 and supplied to mixer Z10
(with respect to the CSB signal of Z12) for generation of a 9960 Hz signal for RF phase control. Mixer
Z9 receives the SB1 signal (forward signal) via coupler Z8 together with the return signal from Z3. This
return signal incorporates the carrier radiated by the center antenna and received by the sideband
antennas. A voltage of 9960 Hz is supplied from the forward and return signals of SB1 via mixer Z9
for monitoring of the antenna and phasing.
Coupling out of the SB2 signal via Z4 in conjunction with signal division via Z6 and mixing with the
CSB signal via Z13, as well as the procedure for obtaining the monitoring signal for SB2 are analogous
to the procedures for SB1. Circulators Z1 and Z5 prevent the return signals from reaching the transmitĆ
ter. Resistors R70 and R71 act as circulator terminations. The CSB return signal via coupler Z2 is
supplied to an amplifier stage, then used for monitoring the matching of carrier antenna A51.
The location of the PMC-D in the ASU is shown in Fig. 2-8.

2.4.3.2 Modulator Sideband Blending (MOD-SBB)

See Fig. 2-48.
The blending modulators MOD-SBB are used to modulate the DVOR sideband signals SB1 and SB2
which are supplied by the MOD-110P in the transmitter rack as an unmodulated CW-signal with
a defined envelope (blending function). The two blending modulators generate the four input signals
for the antenna switching modules (ASM-D). The MOD-SBB comprises:
- 3-dB coupler Z1 (90 hybrid)
- 2 RF modulators (loss modulators in the form of a ring cable bridge) with PIN diodes CR1/3 and
CR2/4 as final control elements
- Actual-value measuring circuit (CR14/CR15)
- AGC amplifier (IC1).
The sideband signals are divided into two equal components: One MOD-SBB divides SB1 in the two
components SB1S (SB1 sine) and SB1C (SB1 cosine), the other divides SB2 in the two components
SB2S (SB2 sine) and SB2C (SB2 cosine). These components are amplitude-modulated indepenĆ
dently of each other in two loss modulators. This modulation type is known as a blending function.
It serves to reduce to a minimum the spurious modulation caused by the commutation process from
one sideband antenna to another. Ideally the commutation process should simulate rotation of an
omnidirectional radiator on the sideband antenna circle around the middle antenna. The blending
function used is a modified version of a sine or cosine function. The setpoint of the blending function
is supplied by the BSG-D subassembly. The 3 dB couplers Z1 divide the input signal SB1 (SB2) and
ensure that the two outputs are decoupled. A 90° cable (W9) is located between the coupler Z1 and
the loss modulators at the 0 hybrid output of Z1 for compensation of the RF phases. The co-phasal
nature of the control signal is thereby maintained. Irrespective of the type of control signal the configuĆ
ration used ensures matching at all times to the 50-ohm system on the input and output sides.
In the event of an unbalanced load at the outputs of the coupler Z1, such as due to a malfunction in
the loss modulator, the ASM-D subassembly or the antennas themselves, a voltage will be generated
at the differential output. This voltage will be detected by CR20 and measured as a BITE signal
MOD_1_R (MOD_2_R).
The RF signal is amplitude-modulated in locked phase relation. The RF modulator incorporates the
following functions:
- Bridge circuit with PIN diodes CR1/3 and CR2/4
- AGC amplifier IC1 with setpoint/actual value comparison
- Driver stages for the control current and the linearization network
- Demodulator circuit
The PIN diodes connected to the cable bridge form a continuously variable attenuator. They ensure
constant matching of the input and output, and a constant through phase. The voltage waveform genĆ
erated at the RF output is variable from its maximum level to its zero; phase inversion is however not
possible. Since there is a highly non-linear relationship between the control current and the RF outĆ
put voltage, a linearization network is required. It is driven by the AGC amplifier IC1, which compares
the actual value from the demodulator with CR14/15 with the setpoint from the BSG-D.
Additional BITE information is derived from the envelope signals. The output signals of the RF modulaĆ
tors supply IC3/1 (cos-blending) and IC3/2 (cos-blending). The signal is amplified and rectified by
the diodes CR21 or CR22 to a BITE signal "blending signal present" (BLEND_SBx_SINUS or
BLEND_SBx_COSINUS, x=1 or 2). The BITE-signals are fed to a multiplexer circuit on the BSG-D
and supplied to the MSG-S (MUX1) in the transmitter.
The location of the MOD-SBB in the ASU is shown in Fig. 2-8.

2.4.3.3 Antenna Switch Control (ASC-D)

See Fig. 2-46, 2-49.
The ASC-D contains the entire control logic for the RF distribution network (comprising 14 ASM-D
subassemblies), which supplies the 50 radiators of the sideband antenna of a DVOR installation. The
function of the control logic is to switch the RF paths via the 14 ASM-D subassemblies such as to
simulate the revolutionary motion of a single radiator (sideband antenna) along a circular path around
the middle antenna (carrier antenna). The ASC-D is used primarily to perform counting and decoding
functions. The method used to supply the sideband antenna means that four radiators must be actiĆ
vated at any given time. The components of the ASC-D are accordingly as follows:
- Multiplexer
- Counters
- Decoders
- Combining circuits
- Monitoring circuit
Ed. 01.04 2-67

DVOR 432
The principle of double sideband switching used in the AN 400 installation involves simultaneous radiĆ
ation of the upper and lower sidebands by diametrically opposite sideband antennas. In addition, the
individual sideband antennas are controlled in such a manner that when one radiator reaches its radiĆ
ation peak, the adjacent radiator is energized to ensure that the point of concentrated radiation roĆ
tates as continuously and smoothly as possible. Four sideband antennas are thus energized simultaĆ
neously at any given instant.
The counters and decoders for controlling the odd-numbered radiators are distributed according
to requirements as follows:
- The counter IC10,11 and the decoder IC20...23 are used for the RF signal SB1S, and the counter
IC12,13 and the decoder IC24...27 are used for RF signal SB2C.
- The combining circuit (IC36...39) combines the decoded counter signals as appropriate, and supĆ
plies the control signals for the ASM-D subassemblies in locations B5, B6 and A4 to A8 (Fig.
2-46).
The counters and decoders for controlling the even-numbered radiators are distributed in a similar
manner as follows:
- The counter IC14,15 and the decoder IC28...31 are used for RF signal SB1C, and the counter
IC16,17 and the decoder IC32...35 are used for RF signal SB2S.
- The combining circuit (IC50...63) combines the decoded counter signals as appropriate, and supĆ
plies the control signals for the ASM-D subassemblies in locations B9, B10 and A9 to A13 (Fig.
2-46).
The counters count cyclically from 0 to 24, and are reset automatically to 0 when a count of 25 is
reached. The control signals for the 4 counters are the 750-Hz clock and the 30-Hz synchronization
signal, which are both conditioned on the BSG-D subassembly. The 30HZSYN signal is derived from
the 30-Hz clock of the MSG functional group; it is used to synchronize the 30-Hz antenna rotation
with the 30-Hz amplitude modulation of the carrier signal. A unique phase relation is thus defined
between the 30-Hz AM and the 30-Hz FM. The counter groups are clocked with a 750-Hz clock
which is either in phase or in phase opposition, in order to obtain the desired overlapping of the conĆ
trol signals by half a 750-Hz period.
The monitoring circuit combines 4 control signals to form a BITE signal, from which it forms an analog
voltage, which is supplied to the BSG-D and can be read out at the PC as "BITE channel 16" of the
ASU.
The multiplexer (MUX) is used to set the two operating modes below:
- Switch S1 open: Control by the MSG-C not possible. All counters start at 0, and the decoders
and counters are always enabled.
- Switch S1 closed: Control by the MSG-C possible. The starting instant of all 4 counters can be
set, and the counters can be stopped together. The decoders can be blocked individually. The conĆ
trol signals for the second operating mode are supplied by the BSG-D, and are made available
by the MSG-C of the active transmitter via the ASU-Interface.
The location of the ASC-D in the ASU is shown in Fig. 2-8.

2.4.3.4 Blending Signal Generator (BSG-D)

See Fig. 2-50.
The BSG-D represents the "control centre"in the ASU. The BSG-D is used primarily to generate and
process digital signals. The tasks performed by the BSG-D are as follows:
- Clock generation for the antenna switching unit

- Generation and setting of the blending function
- Generation of the operating frequency and synchronization with the 30 Hz frequency of
the reference signal
- Selection of the antenna control mode at the ASC-D subassembly
- Interface coupling and data transfer from the active transmitter via the subassembly ASU-INT in
the transmitter rack
- Measurement of the phase actual value for sideband phase control and measurement of
the monitor phase value
- "Detection" of the BITE signals and through-connection to the ASU-Interface and the MSG-S
and MSP-VD in the transmitter rack.
A crystal oscillator generates the clock of 6.144 MHz, from which all required divider and clock signals
are derived. This frequency is divided by 2 (= 3.072-MHz clock), and used to control the synchroniĆ
zation circuit, the divider for 750 Hz, the 12-bit address counter and the phase control circuit. From
the 30-Hz reference clock of the transmitter rack and the 3.072 MHz clock the synchronization circuit
(IC 20...24) derives the synchronization signals for the generation of the 750 Hz and for the address
counter. It is also used to derive the 30-Hz synchronization signal for the ASC-D. The 12-bit counter
(IC1...3) is used to read the blending function envelope curves stored in digital form in the PROM. It
also controls transfer of the data to the D/A converter memories. The memory contains the values for
a sinusoidal and cosinusoidal envelope. These are read out cyclically, transmitted to the buffers, and
converted into analog voltages. The cycle frequency is 750 Hz. The output signal of IC11 (sine half-
wave) is supplied to the multiplying D/A converters IC27, 33. It is weighted there (digital potentiomeĆ
ter) with a digital setpoint stored in the latches. The output signal of IC 12 (cosine half-wave) is
supplied to the other two multiplying D/A converters IC30,36. The assigned settings are stored in the
registers. The sine blending functions are available at the outputs of the D/A converters IC27, 33
(SB1-S and SB2-S). The cosine blending functions are available at the outputs of the D/A converĆ
ters IC30,36 (SB1-C and SB2-C).
The amplitudes of these four functions can be set digitally via the appropriate latch settings. These
values for setting the amplitude and all other setting functions for control of the ASU are selected at
the transmitter rack by the MSG-C whose transmitter is switched to the antenna. The data signals
are received via the buffers IC46...48, and forwarded to the registers (data bus BSG-D). The control
signals are received via the buffer IC45 and then decoded. The selected register accepts the data from
the bus synchronously with the internal clock. In addition to the data for setting the amplitudes of the
4 blending functions the processor also transmits the select information for through-connection of
the BITE signals, the antenna control code and the control signals for the phase measuring circuit.
The 4-bit code stored in the latch IC40 determines which of the 16 analog BITE channels of the ASU
is selected by the analog multiplexer. The ADVORP output signal is supplied to the ASU-INT in the
transmitter rack, where it is buffered and distributed to the MSP-VD (1 and 2) for measured value
acquisition. The MSP-VD of the active transmitter (i.e. that switched to the antenna) evaluates these
BITE signals. The selection pattern for the 16 BITE channels of the antenna switching unit is laid down
in the software; measurements are performed cyclically.

Control of the 50 sideband antennas is checked by means of a 12-bit word in the register IC 38,39.
Various control modes are available to the user. They can be selected by entering the appropriate
software commands. All measurements necessary during the startup phase and for repairs and mainĆ
tenance are supported.
The phase measuring circuit takes the form of a synchronous control unit, which measures the time
difference between the two leading edges of the 9960-Hz measurement signals and stores the result
in latch IC65. This circuit operates independently of the processor and asynchronously with regard
to it. The processor disables writing to the latch at the instants at which data is transferred, in order
to prevent the measured value being updated during this transfer. The latch IC65 is the output register
for the digital phase measured value supplied to the two processors via an I/O port on the ASU-INT.
The processor of the passive transmitter (i.e. that which is not switched to the antenna) is interested
only in the measured values for the monitor phase. The processor of the active transmitter determines
when the multiplexer through-connects the signals for measuring the sideband phase and when it
through-connects the signals for measuring the monitor phase to the phase measuring circuit. If the
signals for measuring the monitor phase are supplied to the measuring circuit, the processor of the
passive transmitter will be informed to ensure that it only accepts monitor phase measured values.
These roles are exchanged when the transmitter is changed.
The SB ANT.MONITORING circuit permits an additional monitoring of the sideband antennas. Its
function is to supply a low-frequency analog signal in the event of a failure in one or more of the sideĆ
band antennas; the harmonic spectrum of this signal (30 Hz, 60 Hz, 90 Hz, 120 Hz, 150 Hz) is evaĆ
luated by the processors. These trip a BITE alarm if a certain harmonic component is exceeded. The
alarm limits can be set.
Finally the BSG-D contains a reference voltage source, which supplies the D/A converters for SIN
and COS, the D/A converter in the phase measuring circuit and the SB ANT. MONITORING with a
temperature-stable reference voltage of 11 VDC.
The location of the BSG-D in the ASU is shown in Fig. 2-8.
2.4.3.5 Antenna Switching Module (ASM-D)
See Fig. 2-51.
The ASM-D is a component of the RF distributor network, which serves to distribute the sideband
signals SB1S/SB1C and SB2S/SB2C generated in the sideband transmitters and conditioned in the
blending modulators MOD-SBB among the 50 sideband antennas. Ten ASM-D subassemblies are
required to supply the 50 sideband antennas. A further four ASM-D are required to connect these
10 modules to the two blending modulators with their four outputs. The 50 sideband antennas can
thus be activated with a total of 14 ASM. The main features of the ASM are as follows:
- 2 PIN diode switches chained together

- The associated driver and RF stages
Each ASM-D subassembly has two inputs (IN1 and IN2) and five outputs (OUT1 to OUT5). The subĆ
assemblies have a modular design. Input 1 or 2 is through-connected via PIN diode switch C1 or
C2 to neutral point A when driver stage 1 or 2 is activated via an AF signal from the antenna switch
control subassembly (ASC-D).
2-72 Ed. 01.04

DVOR 432
The signal through-connected to this point is then through-connected to the corresponding output
via the PIN diode switches (CR3 to CR7) of the ASC-D subassembly in accordance with the driver
stage activated (3 to 7). Non-conducting branches of the output diode switch (component of the drivĆ
er stages) have a reverse 50 W termination.
The transit phase of all five branches from any input to all outputs is constant. Phase deviations, even
beyond the limits of the modules, are approximately ±2°. The VSWR for input and output matching
is 1.1. The transmission loss is 0.5 dB and the stop band attenuation is 50 dB.
The location of the ASM-D in the ASU is shown in Fig. 2-8.

2.4.4 DC Converter (ASU)

2.4.4.1 DC Converter Multivolt Doppler (DCC-MVD)
See Fig. 2-52.
The DCC-MVD subassembly is used to supply the subassemblies in the ASU. It is a DC converter,
which generates four stabilized output voltages from a nominal input voltage of 54 V DC (operating
range 40...65 V). The DCC-MVD supplies the voltages below at the output:
+5 V, 9 A
-24 V, 0.5 A
+15 V, 0.5A
-15 V, 0.5 A
These voltages are referenced to a common neutral. The DCC-MVD comprises a primary and secĆ
ondary section. The two sections of the device are electrically isolated from each other both in the
power section and in the control and monitoring circuit by means of transformers and optocouplers.
In addition the primary on/off signal is coupled also via optocoupler. A LED located on the front signals
the presence of the output voltage. The main functional units of the DCC-MVD are:
V Power section
- Input filter
- Power conversion stage 5 V, -24 V and ±15 V
- Voltage regulators for ±15V, -24 V
driver stage
- Secondary controller and monitor including
voltage and current monitor 5 V,
The DC supply voltage is converted into an AC voltage in a flyback-converter (FBC). The converter
works with a clock frequency of approximately 100 kHz. A transformer , which also ensures electrical
isolation of the secondary section, transforms the input voltage to the required output voltages. The
dc converter is primary protected against overcurrent or short circuit by means of fuse NSI1 (30 A).
If the input voltage is connected incorrectly, diode D1 will be enabled and the fuse is blown to prevent
any damage. R1 prevents against overvoltage peaks up to 130 VAC. The power section is initially isoĆ
lated from the input by means of the FET transistor T1, which is controlled by IC1 and acts as primary
on/off switch. The ON or OFF command which enables the main and auxiliary voltage is supplied via
optocoupler IC2.
as primary control circuit generates the chopping frequency of 100 kHz and controls directly the
power section with OUT2 (FBC).

The power section (FBC) consists of FET transistor T5 and transformator TR3. T5 chops the DC voltĆ
age. The chopped DC voltage is transformed by TR3 to four desired values with four secondary windĆ
ings. For the 5 V path the output voltage is rectified and smoothed via an output filter. The secondary
output current is monitored via the voltage drop on a series resistor. For the ±15 V and -24 V path
the output voltages are rectified, smoothed and regulated to +15 V, -15 V or -24 V with integrated
voltage regulators IC101,102,103. The regulated voltages are led via an smoothing output filter to the
output.
The output voltage is regulated directly via the turn-on time of the power stage in order to obtain
stabilized voltages of 5 V. This regulation is implemented via the primary controller (IC5), which obĆ
tains its information from the various current and voltage sensor circuits. The regulation takes the form
of changes in the pulse width, suppression of single clock pulses and deactivation. The operational
reliability of the converter is ensured by a number of monitoring circuits. The power stage is protected
against overvoltage, undervoltage and overcurrent conditions. It is interlocked in the event of an autoĆ
matic deactivation resulting from an overvoltage condition. This interlock can be cancelled by interĆ
rupting the power supply or by entering the Tx OFF and Tx ON commands at the keyboard of the rack
or software command (PC).
voltage to be reduced. The current transformer TR4 monitors the primary power section for overcurĆ
rent conditions, whilst the secondary output current is monitored via the voltage drop on a series reĆ
sistor for the 5 V path. As BIT signal a switch function, which indicates operation of the DC converter,
is implemented. In the event of a malfunction FET transistor T102 becomes conductive and the front
LED does not light.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ANTENNA SYSTEM
3.1 GENERAL
See Fig. 2-1, 3-1.
The DVOR antenna system comprises the following system components:
- Antenna counterpoise with supports and framework, framework decking and antenna circle
(circle used during assembly for securing the sideband antennas)
- 50 sideband antennas
- 1 carrier antenna
- Cabling
- Monitor dipole

3.2 SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
The electronic simulation of the antenna movement is described in Section 1.2.2.2.2 . In order for the
procedure to be implemented, antennas which are installed close together must be activated and fed
consecutively. This gives rise to the following problems concerning the antennas:
- Parasitic radiation coupled in from neighbouring antennas causes the radiation pattern to change
and results in spurious spectral components in the DVOR signals.
Ed. 01.04 3-1

DVOR 432
Description Antenna System Equipment Description
- If a receiver (aircraft) is located within the space, heterodyning (vectorial addition) of the waves
transmitted by the adjacent sideband antennas occurs as a result of the successive feeding
method used for these antennas in order to simulate the antenna rotation effect, whereby two adjaĆ
cent antenna are always fed at the same time. The simulated rotation causes the positions of the
neighbouring sideband antennas which are fed to change periodically relative to the receiver, so
that the heterodyning conditions also change. A spurious 60 Hz modulation is consequently genĆ
erated in the sideband signal received in the aircraft.
Thales ATM has incorporated the following components in the System 4000, in an attempt to solve
these two problems:
- The parasitic excitation of the sideband antennas caused by the coupled radiation is reduced to
a negligible system value (< -20 dB). This is achieved by inserting a Matcher (or Decoupling MoĆ
dule) in every feeder to the sideband antennas. This lossy subassembly has the usual characterisĆ
tic-impedance matching in the forward direction (transmitter t antenna); in the return direction
(antenna t transmitter) however its impedance deviates considerably from the characteristic imĆ
pedance (50 W). The antennas are loaded with a high impedance at the feeding points, with the
aid of impedance transformation, and can thus no longer be excited parasitically by the radiation.
- Optionally an installation is available which uses the Decoupling Module and additional coupling
cables between antennas 1 to 50. The spurious 60 Hz modulation caused by the rotation of the
radiation is reduced to a negligible value by feeding antennas which are not directly adjacent in
defined groups. This is achieved by "subfeeding" the next-but-one sideband antenna in each
direction (N+ 2, N-2) with a small portion of the sideband power that is being used at the same
time to feed the main sideband antenna in the module (N). A power divider is required to do so;
it is incorporated in the Decoupling Module. This group feeding method results in a more or less
elliptical sum pattern, the principal axis of which is tangential to the rotation of the sideband antenĆ
nas. This reduces the spurious, system-related 60 Hz modulation caused by simulating the rotaĆ
tion of the sideband radiation to a minimum. The installation without this feature is delivered as
standard version. This version uses the Matcher instead of the Decoupling Module.
3.3 SIDEBAND AND CARRIER ANTENNAS

3.3.1 Sideband Antenna
See Fig. 3-2 to 3-11.
The sideband antenna comprises 50 individual antennas (individual radiators) mounted on an anĆ
tenna circle (holder for these 50 individual antennas on the framework or framework decking) such
that the 50 individual antennas are equally spaced at 7.2° with respect to one another as seen from
the center antenna (carrier antenna). The relevant installation instructions are contained in Part 2 of
the Technical Manual DVOR. The external mechanical details of this type of individual antenna are
shown in Fig. 3-10. The cables are connected to the individual antenna at the Matcher (or Decoupling
Module), which is accessible via the installation hole in the vertical pipe (Fig. 3-10/3). In order to reĆ
move the Matcher module, the cover (3-10/3) should be pressed back at the bottom and pushed
down. Fig. 3-4 is the connection diagram for the individual radiators of the sideband antenna.
The optional group feeding method is implemented by supplying the two next-but-one antennas
in parallel with the main antenna. These two secondary antennas must of course also be capable of
acting as the main antennas as the rotation of the radiation continues. Consequently, all the DecoupĆ
ling Modules of the even-numbered sideband antennas and all those of the odd-numbered antenĆ
nas are connected together by cables (optional) having a defined length. This length must be selected
so that the correct phase displacement is generated for the group pattern. The correct amplitude is
ensured by the power divider function integrated in every Decoupling Module. The divider is in series
with the divider at the input of the next Decoupling Module.

DVOR 432
The oblong holes in the upper section of the vertical pipe (3-10/2,4) provide a facility for adjusting
the lower section of the antenna dome (3-10/1) on the vertical pipe. In their installed state the antenna
elements in the lower section of the antenna dome (Fig. 3-11) are protected against the weather by
means of a fibreglass-reinforced polyester cover.
The individual radiators of the sideband antenna take the form of horizontally polarized omnidirecĆ
tional radiators (Alford loop antenna). The antenna elements of each individual radiator comprise 4
sheet metal strips which form a square frame (loop antenna), and which are embedded in a polystyĆ
rene frame (Fig. 3-11). The polystyrene frame forms the lower section of the antenna dome. It enĆ
ables the antenna elements to keep their shape, which ensures optimum electrical matching in the
entire sideband antenna.
Adjustable capacitors are provided at 2 of the diagonally opposite ends of the loop (supply points)
(Fig. 3-11). They are used to set the resonance of the loop in the 108 ... 118 MHz frequency range.
This resonance setting ensures a uniform current distribution (Fig. 3-2), and thus a perfect omnidiĆ
rectional pattern. The spacing of the capacitor plates (Fig. 3-2) as a function of the desired operating
frequency is shown in Fig. 3-3.
The RF is supplied symmetrically via crossed supply lines at the ends of the 4 loop sections. The reĆ
sulting alternating polarity ensures a uniform direction of current flow all round (Fig. 3-2). Each of
the 4 outer faces of the loop is approx. 550 mm (0.2 l) long. The Matcher or Decoupling Module output
(3-10/5) is connected to the balance-to-unbalance and matching transformer (see Section
3.3.1.1).

3.3.1.1 Balance-to-Unbalance and Matching Transformer
The balance-to-unbalance and matching transformer (Fig. 3-5/Z) is a component of the lower secĆ
tion of the antenna dome (3-10/1); it comprises a pipe containing 2 inversely connected coaxial
cables (Z= 50 W). The result is automatically a balanced condition (see Fig. 3-5). If the cables in this
layout are twice terminated with Z, the transformer will be wideband and independent of the length
within limits (l/8). The loop resistance provided is transformed to the desired input resistance Z=50W
by selecting suitable lengths for the two cables. The glass-tube trimmer (3-5/CTr) at the cable input
of the transformer permits additional parallel transformation.
It is possible to set the optimum matching for each frequency of 108 ... 118 MHz by adjusting the spaĆ
cing of the capacitor plates (3-5/CA) and by adjusting the glass-tube trimmer CTr. In order to fulfill
the requirement for an active return loss of 26 dB, it should normally be sufficient to set CA as shown
in Fig. 3-3 and CTr as shown in Fig. 3-6. The short coaxial cable with a fixed length (approx. 90°),
which is located ahead of the balance-to-unbalance and matching transformer, is fed to the DeĆ
coupling Module, which is accessible via the installation hole in the vertical pipe (Fig. 3-10/6).
The radiation pattern of the loop antenna is circular with a maximum deviation of ±0.5 dB. The vertical
pattern is shown in Fig. 3-7.

It contains the following components:

- Antenna dome with

- Calibration capacitors (on the loop antenna and balance-to-unbalance and matching transĆ
former);
The carrier antenna however has no matcher/decoupling module, which means that the supply cable

3.4 ANTENNA COUNTERPOISE (SUPPORT AND SCAFFOLDING)
See Fig. 3-12, 3-13.

An antenna counterpoise is available for overall system heights of 3, 5, 7 and 10 m. The structure is
designed for a maximum wind velocity of 200 km/h (operation: up to 160 km/h). All parts other than
the plastic or steel RF cable conduits underneath the platform are made of hot-dip-galvanized steel.
The framework (Fig. 3-12) is a twelve-sided structure with a diameter of 30 m. It is supported at 24

points. The supports are arranged in two circles with a diameter of 13.5 m and 24 m. 4 x 4 main supĆ
ports are secured together by means of additional braces. The round supports have a diameter of
120 mm and walls 3 mm thick. The 51 antenna feeders are routed down a U-shaped girder in the
center of the counterpoise and laid via a cable box to the solder terminal plate in the shelter. The shelĆ
ter is located directly adjacent to the cable box one meter from the center.
In addition to acting as an electrical counterpoise, the framework serves as a mechanical supporting
structure for the antenna ring with the 50 sideband antennas and is also used to secure the central
carrier antenna. The centrically aligned antenna ring has a diameter of 13.5 m. It is subdivided into
12 separate elements to facilitate transportation. Each of these elements consists of two curved 65
mm U-shaped girders, welded together at equal intervals of 170 mm. The profiled inner sides are
always installed facing one another. The fold-down access hatch, which is accessible via a ladder,
is approximately 6 m from the center. The entire counterpoise platform is covered with 6 mm thick,
hot-dip-galvanized structural steel mats with a mesh width of 100 x 100 [mm]. The mats are bolted
together with grips at intervals of 300 mm. U-shaped brackets are used to secure them to the steel
girders. The mats are mounted on the girders with flat steel strips at the outer edge of the platform.

The monitor dipole is a passive subassembly. Its main components are as follows:
- 1 dipole (2 x 65 cm = 130 cm equivalent l/2 at 113 MHz)
- 1 reflector
- 1 director
The monitor dipole is mounted on a mast (wooden or metal) at a height of 1.3 m above the antenna
counterpoise. It should be installed at a distance of approx. 200 m from the center of the counterpoise.
The installation location can be selected at any azimuth. A solution at reasonable cost may be seĆ
lected with respect to the infrastrutcture, topography and accessibility etc. The received RF is supĆ

EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY
A set of lead batteries, comprising four block batteries (or twelve block batteries with DVOR 432 and
TACAN), is connected in parallel to the DC voltage supply from the mains unit BCPS. In case of a
mains failure or disconnection of the primary voltage for maintenance purposes, it is used to supply
the Thales ATM navigation installation. Batteries, which are maintained at a permanent cell voltage
of 2.25 V (standby parallel operation) by the BCPS, are supplied by Thales ATM as standard for NAV-
installations (Navaids 400).
The recommended battery type has a capacity tailored to the requirements of the Thales ATM navigaĆ
tion installation. In such case should be noted, that the 54 V trickle charge voltage supplied by the
BCPS is a fixed output and can not be changed therefore.
NOTE: Alkaline batteries, e.g. Nickel Cadmium batteries, require a different charging method,
and cannot therefore be used in conjunction with the power supply BCPS
(module ACC 54, Ref. No. 58341 20100).

Before the battery is connected the power supply unit BCPS must be connected to the
mains, and the output voltage must have reached its rated value; the reaching of this level
is displayed by lighting LED's at the front panels of the AC/DC-converter in the cabinet.
The battery set is connected via two PVC-insulated cables as per DIN 57281, 16 mm2 (red and black).
The length of this connection is restricted to a maximum of 10 m for electrical reasons. The red cable
should be connected to the positive terminal of the battery set (+), and the black cable to the minus
terminal (-). It should be connected to the transmitter rack accordingly at the "BAT+" and "BAT-"
terminals. The cables of BAT+ and BAT- are fed via the fuse switch F1 (50 A) to protect the batteries.
The battery is connected via a measuring cable (3x 1.5 mm2) to terminals BAT0, BAT1 and BAT2 of
the BCPS for monitoring purposes. The three measuring cables are protected by the fuse switch F2
(0.2 A).

REMOTE MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING CONFIGURATION
(RMMC)
5.1 APPLICATION AND DESIGN
The Remote Maintenance and Monitoring Configuration (RMMC) is used for remote monitoring, operĆ
ation and maintenance of all the connected navigation systems. The network has a radially configured
architecture based on communication between the system components via switched or private lines
in the public network and dedicated lines in private networks.
The remote control system components allow all the networked navigation systems to be operated
optionally from central points, from normal operation of the dual systems with automatic changeover
in the event of a fault through manual operation to measurement and setting of all the possible signal
parameters, as well as detailed fault analyses on the basis of a wide range of measured values. They
facilitate new maintenance strategies, whereby importance is placed firstly on concentrating logistics
and qualified personnel, and secondly on responding to specific failures with systematic mainteĆ
nance activities rather than relying on periodic precautionary measures. This considerably improves
both maintenance efficiency and the economic efficiency of the systems throughout their service life.
Although these advantages only apply to the modern generation of air traffic control systems develĆ
oped by Thales ATM, with the navigational aids, namely the enroute navigational systems CVOR and
DVOR, the approach and landing systems ILS and MLS, the ILS farfield monitor (FFM) for Localiser,
the TACAN 453 and the electronic TACAN antenna (ELTA 200), the DME 415/435, and the NDB 436
radio beacons, the extensive range of interface boards makes it possible to incorporate other colloĆ
cated systems in the remote control and monitoring strategy if desired.

RMMC Equipment Description
5.1.1 Hierarchy of RMMC Remote Control System Components
At the top, the Remote Maintenance Center (RMC-C) is used as central point to obtain an overview
of the status of all available systems. The RMC-C is connected via dialing modems to the public PTT
network to obtain serial data from the RMC-R, LCU 443 or RCMS 443.
At the RMC-R the main status of all en-route equipment (CVOR, DME-Transponder and TACAN-
ground stations) of one defined region are displayed continuously at the indication and control panel
(INC) of the RMC and at installed optional Remote Status Units (RSU) to the controller for en-route.
Besides en-route subsystems, the main status of the Landing Systems ILS and MLS are also disĆ
played for maintenance purposes. The RMC-R is also connected to the PTT network via autodialing
modems. For special applications a fixed line interface may be provided. For maintenance activities
at the screen of the Personal Computer maintenance data are displayed. The maintenance technician
obtains all the data from the subsystems configured for this region with defined menus on the screen
of the data terminal (PC). It is possible to use the ADRACS software (Automatic Data Recording And
Control System) for maintenance purposes to control Navaids 400 family or System 4000 equipment
at the remote site. For MLS the MLS-menu technique is employed as well as respective ELTA-,
DME-, or TACAN-PC supervisory programs.
The RCMS 443 and the NAV LCU 443 are link control units and provide central points for communicaĆ
tion between RMC's and the navaids systems. While the RCMS is connected via twisted telephone
line pairs and modems to the ILS/MLS-equipment the NAV LCU 443 has direct RS-232/422 interĆ
faces to the CVOR, DVOR, TACAN and ELTA-equipment, and DME. For small projects, it is possible
to connect the NAV LCU of en-route navigation systems via switched lines to an RCMS.

5.1.2.2 Remote Control and Status Equipment RCSE 443

The RCSE is an REU with a control and indication panel (INC). It can be used as a simple, yet comĆ
plete, remote control unit. The INC indicates the states of up to eight substations with the following
LED displays: ALARM, WARNING, NORMAL, DATA COMmunication and MAINTENance.
An alarm tone is sounded if a status changes. Each station can be selected by pressing a membrane
button, in order to activate the EQUIPment ON, OFF and CHANGEOVER functions and to indicate
specific monitor alarms. The same status indications can also be provided by a remote status unit
(RSU) at a distant location, though it cannot be used for control functions. An additional status indicaĆ
tion device is the control tower unit (CTU), which however, only indicates the NORMAL, WARNING
and ALARM operating states of up to eight NAV stations. Its display brightness is adjustable to permit
adaptation to the varying light conditions in the control tower. The CTU can be used in conjunction
with a runway selector (RWY-SELECT), which activates the ILS systems in one approach direction
and switches the other direction to a dummy load. This panel also indicates the general status of the
two ILS systems (OPERATIONAL, DEGRADED, SHUT DOWN) and their availability (ENABLE) to airĆ
craft as a landing aid.
A variety of interface boards is available for serial or parallel data I/O, installing an ETHERNET interĆ
face, connecting a PC and autodialing via the public network, so that the system has a considerable
potential for expansion. The connections to the NAV stations are set up via modems and telephone
lines (600 ohms). The control and indication panels are connected by means of serial RS422 interĆ
faces.

5.1.2.3 Remote Control and Monitoring System RCMS 443
The maintenance, fault analysis and documentation functions of the RMMC are implemented by conĆ
necting a PC system to the RCSE and installing the RMS or RCMS application software on it. The
difference in the names is a reflection of the definitions laid down by the U.S. FAA. An RMS designed
for maintenance purposes has direct, permanent access to the navigation systems via separate cable
connections, and is operated independently of the Remote Control and Status Equipment (RCSE),
while an RCMS uses the same communication paths for the maintenance functions as it does for reĆ
mote control and monitoring. The following functions are provided:
- System status indication for each connected system

- Permanent indication of the general status of all systems
- Permanent indication of the current date and time
- Detailed status indications for a selected system
- Polling, display and setting of system parameters
- Polling of internal measured values (BIT)
- Continuous monitoring of parameters (either printout if a programmable limit value is reached or
periodic polling)
- 5-level password protection
- Configuration of the remote maintenance and monitoring system
- Loading and saving of setups for operation
- Logbook function, status and alarm history memories
- Selection of data to be printed out
5.1.2.4 Local Communication Unit LCU
The local communication unit (LCU) comprises a remote control electronic unit (REU), which is
equipped according to the specific requirements of the NAV station. It serves as a communication
interface between the connected equipment and the public switched network, and as a common
point for connecting a service terminal (Laptop PC) for commissioning and maintenance purposes.
NOTE: In AN 400 en-route navigation systems (e.g. CVOR 431) no separate LCU device has
to be used as local communication interface. The LCU functionality is integrated in the
NAV 400 subrack, i.e. the LCU software is running on the already existing LCP board,
additional modems are used for communication purposes.
5.1.2.5 Remote Maintenance Center RMC 443
If a maintenance center is installed, it is possible to connect several different remote control systems
to a central REU via switched lines. The general status of all the remote control systems in the network
is indicated permanently on one or more INC panels. Any change in a status causes a connection
to be set up automatically from the LCU or the RCSE to the responsible center and all the current
status information to be transmitted. The center can also be set up to poll the regional stations periodiĆ
cally.
The center is fully equipped to exchange such data with the networked systems which is necessary
for it to be able to perform a detailed fault diagnosis. It communicates either directly with en-route
navigation systems via switched connections or with ILS substations via the Remote Control and StaĆ
tus Equipment (RCSE) at each airfield.

DVOR NEXTFIELD MONITORING, INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
This annex describes the principal function and the subassemblies of the option "Nextfield MonitoĆ
ring", which are different to that of the standard description part of the DVOR monitoring using the
remote nearfield dipole. The following changed or new subassemblies are essentially used for the
option Nextfield Monitoring:
- Monitor dipole (max. 4) near counterpoise edge Ref.No. 58317 24017 and 88131 72411
- Monitor Signal Processor (MSP-D or VD) Ref.No. 83135 22400 or 83135 22301*
- Monitor Divider Switch (MDS-D) Ref.No. 83134 20501
- RF-Duplexer (RFD1-D Ref.No. 58341 00890
- (RFD2-D) Ref.No. 58341 00821
*The MSP-VD (C,D), Ref. No. 83135 22301 replaces the MSP-D.
The signals picked up with 1 or max. 4 monitor dipoles located at the counterpoise edge are suitable
processed, and following fed to the inputs of the multiplexer on the MSP-D.
1.2 NEXTFIELD MONITORING PRINCIPLE
See Fig. 1-1.
A cardinal problem is to evaluate correctly a signal of a nextfield dipole which is mounted at the counĆ
terpoise edge in the Monitor Signal Processor (MSP-D): The field strength of the received 9960 Hz
sideband signal is highly different due to the large distance between the front and rear sideband anĆ
tennas. The RF phase delays of the radiator signals of the circular group are falsified caused by differĆ
ent propagation times and therefore not equivalent to the farfield. In the nextfield, the correct freĆ
quency modulation is not achieved by superposition of both sideband signals caused by the falsified
phase delays of upper and lower sideband signals on the 9960 Hz auxiliary carrier. In single sideband
operation (SSB) of the DVOR however the 30 Hz frequency modulation is clearly evaluable also in
the nextfield. Therefore the principle of nextfield monitoring is, on the one hand to convert the received
nextfield signal to a SSB-signal and thus to evaluate the 30 Hz FM, on the other hand to determine
the 9960 Hz modulation depth (9960 Hz AM) by evaluation of the upper and lower sideband signals
(USB+LSB), which are received and superimposed from the middle antenna (carrier).

Introduction Equipment Description
1.2.1 Signal Processing MSP-VD (Standard)

See Fig. 1-2.
The monitor antenna signal is supplied via a RF-bandpass filter (108 to 118 MHz) with steep edges
to an amplifier with a processor-controlled attenuator. This controlled amplifier amplifies the RF level
up to 6 dBm. The composite DVOR signal is demodulated by the precision demodulator, whereby
the DC and AC signal components map ideally the level and modulation depth of the received monitor
antenna signal. Due to the design specification the Monitor Signal Processor (MSP) for the VOR and
the Doppler DVOR is identical and provisions are provided for the DVOR antenna monitoring. First
the processor-controlled analog switch (Multiplexer 1) selects one of the two signal sources (meaĆ
surement signal or test generator signal) for the following hardware processing. The monitor signal
level is normalized with the AGC presetting of the monitor processor, then demodulated and fed to
Multiplexer 1. Usually, Multiplexer 1 switches through the demodulated and normalized signal of the
monitor dipole for signal processing. The evaluation of the signal to be monitored is achieved by a
Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of 30 Hz harmonics, in which the individual 30 Hz signals are multiĆ
plexed. The evaluation in (D)VOR is based on time intervals of 64 x 1/960 s. This is the duration of
a so called monitor channel. The last 32 measurement values are evaluated after conversion from
analog to digital. The 30 Hz FM signal is detected by a FM demodulator. Controlled by the processor,
Multiplexer 2 selects and feeds through the monitor channel to be monitored for further processing.
The essential DFT evaluation cycles are:
1 Envelope of the 9960 Hz signal (for later evaluation of the 9960 Hz modulation depth)
2 Demodulated 30 Hz FM (for evaluation of the FM-deviation and later evaluation of azimuth)
3 DC-component 30 Hz AM (for evaluation of RF-level, 30 Hz AM and the azimuth (angle difference
of vectors 30 Hz FM to 30 Hz AM)
Multiplexer 3 allows the additional measurement of BIT signals such as the supply voltages of the
transmitter. The expansion of the multiplex operation of the DFT evaluation with additional monitor
channels allows to evaluate the DVOR-ASU signals in addition to the signal of the test generator.

1.2.2 Signal Processing DVOR-Nextfield
See Fig. 1-3, 1-4.
The processing of the nextfield signals is performed in the Monitor Divider Switch (MDS-D), which
is an additional subassembly in relation to the standard version. The MDS-D obtains on the one hand
the signals of 2 nextfield monitor dipoles (extendable up to 4), on the other hand the signals out of
bidirectional couplers, which are inserted in the RF feeding lines to the Antenna Switching Unit (ASU).
With respect to the carrier signal the return port of the coupler is also fed to the MDS-D. The
MSP-D/1 and the MSP-D/2 obtain the RF-input signals and 3 AF-signals from the MDS-D for
evaluation. The 3 dB couplers on the MDS-D distribute the signals used in the MSP's in a way, that
both MSP evaluate identical signals. The multiplexer allows the selection of up to six monitor signals.

Fig. 1-3 Extensions for the nextfield monitor signal, block schematic
The signal of the nextfield dipole has to be processed in a special way, before the signals 30 Hz FM
and the 9960 Hz modulation depth can be evaluated. An RF switch assembled with 3 inputs in miniĆ
mum is connected in series to the input of the MSP-D in order to select the necessary RF-signals.
The levels of these RF-signals are matched by the processor controlled attenuator on the following
MSP. The 3 RF-signals are: Nearfield dipoles, USB+LSB, and CSB internal. An output line with 3 dB
coupler for the level normalized sensor signal A is added to the MSP-D standard version. The signal
for the DFT1 evaluation (envelope of the 9960 Hz signal) is extracted from the sideband signals reĆ
ceived from the middle antenna :
[ USB ] + [LSB ] - [ signal of return port in the carrier line ]
Mixing this signal with the carrier frequency (limited CSB), the carrier with upper and lower sideband
is achieved. This 9960 Hz signal of mixer 1 (M1) is supplied to multiplexer 1 and evaluated well known
as standard. Attention is paid to the fact that the carrier signal has the correct RF-phase relationship
to the vector sum of the signals USB+LSB. It is adjusted with a phase shifter on the MDS-D using
a potentiometer each. Besides the sideband signal USB+LSB, also the carrier signal reflected by the
middle antenna is derived as interference signal from the directional coupler in the carrier branch. This
interference signal is in minimum 20 dB greater than the wanted signal USB+LSB. The middle anĆ
tenna therefore has carefully to be matched >20 dB (better 26 dB). The signals for evaluations of
DFT2a/b (30 Hz FM of USB and LSB) are derived from mixer 2 (M2). These signals are mixed downĆ
wards to the frequency of 2 x 9960 Hz = 19920 Hz and supplied to multiplexer 2 of the MSP-D after
FM-demodulation.
The microprocessor determines the desired sideband with control signal 'SB Select'. Besides the deĆ
sired SB signal, the output signal of mixer 2 supplies the carrier signal level in the form of a 9960 Hz
oscillation amplitude. This signal is also fed via the envelope evaluation consisting of a 10 kHz high
pass filter and a peak detector. Using the DFT the dc-component can be measured as RF-level.
Ed. 01.04 AN-3

The signal for evaluation DFT 3 (30 Hz AM) is supplied as carrier forward signal in the default signal
path and using the default evaluation. The dc-component of this DFT is not further processed as
RF-level because the signal has passed through transmitter internal signal paths only. Instead of this
the radiated transmitting power is determined from the signal of the nextfield dipole. The signal for
a DFT 4 (Nearfield RF-level) is derived from the evaluation of the nextfield dipole signal using the
default evaluation process via envelope demodulation. The other DVOR specific monitor channels
are maintained unaltered. The carrier signal received from the SB-antennas is evaluated for the failĆ
ure monitoring of the SB-antennas. The DFT dc-components of the detected SB-signals correĆ
spond to the carrier signal level, but it is not evaluated by the processor at time. Only one of the two
sideband signals is supplied from the ASU to the MSP-D.

1.2.4 Altered Channel Pattern of Evaluation (DFT)

Due to the accommodation to four nextfield dipoles a grouping is provided which consists of five
channels each (each with 64 interrupts) and therefore contains four groups. The four groups for evaluĆ
ation of the four dipoles are repeated every 1.33 seconds.
AN-4 Ed. 01.04

If fewer than four dipoles are specified, the existing dipole signals are more frequently evaluated correĆ
spondingly. The measurement refreshing rate of the signals is therefore 1.33 s (more frequently only
for 30 Hz AM) for four dipoles. The evaluation of the 30 Hz AM occurs every second group. That means
that for example the actual azimuth is calculated every 666 ms using two nextfield dipoles only.
The 9960 Hz AM, the testgenerator signal and the signals of the DVOR-ASU are only evaluated every
1.33 s. The BIT measurements are evaluated in the forward signal. The evaluation groups are identiĆ
cally built in principle. The timing sequence is graded as follows:
1. Group from 0 s to 1.33 s
2. Group from 1.33 s to 2.66 s
3. Group from 2.66 s to 4.0 s
The following table shows the evaluation sequence.

1.2.5 Evaluation and Indication of the Monitor Signals
The indication of alarms remains unchanged. This is, that the results of the monitoring for azimuth
and RF-level are linked in an OR-function for more than one nextfield dipole. The results of the evaluĆ
ation of 30 Hz FM for LSB and USB are not edited individually, but an addition of both 30 Hz FM vectors
is performed with the result of a sum of 30 Hz FM for the indication of the measurement value for the
30 Hz FM deviation and also for azimuth calculation. The calculation of the 30 Hz AM is performed
with the dc-component of the same DFT-evaluation, not related to the RF-level of a nextfield diĆ
pole.
Ed. 01.04 AN-5

The calculation of the 9960 Hz AM is performed with the 9960 Hz sidebands received from the middle
antenna which are related to the dc-component of the CSB forward signal. The measurement value
outputs are:
- Azimuth Dipole 1 (default: Azimuth)

- Azimuth Dipole 2 (new)
- RF-Level average (default: RF-Level)
Individual inputs for upper and lower limits are to be performed for the new azimuth measurement
values. The measurement values for the RF-level of the four dipoles are equal to a large extent. They
all use the same AGC-adjusting value. On this premise the RF-level have the identical alarm limits
(UL/LL).
Mixed operation with field and nextfield dipole evaluation is not provided in multiplex mode. For nearĆ
field or nextfield evaluation a new command is available (either/or, only alternatively selectable). The
number of nextfield dipoles is selectable. In this way the four inputs of the MDS-D can be used for
up to 4 nextfield dipoles or for 3 nextfield dipoles and 1 field dipole. The monitor, LRCI and ADRACS
software are extended with the previous mentioned parameter and commands. At time both process
max. 2 nextfield dipoles or one field dipole.

2.3.2 Transmitter Subassemblies

2.3.2.1 RF-Duplexer (RFD1-D, RFD2-D)
See Fig. 2-6.
The RF signals are distributed to the antenna switching unit by means of the discrete RF duplexer
RFD1-D (CSB) and RFD2-D (SB1/2), which consist of the following components:
- 3 coaxial antenna switching relays

- 3 harmonic filters (low-pass)
- Dummy load resistors
- 3 directional coupler (20 dB)
The function of the various components of the RF duplexes is to switch the antenna system over to
transmitter 1 or 2. The signals of the transmitter which is currently switched to the antenna by the coaxĆ
ial antenna switching relays K1 (CSB) and K1/K2 (SB1, SB2) each pass through a harmonic filter, beĆ
fore being fed to the antenna system via the antenna switching unit (ASU). Any harmonics in the sigĆ
nals are filtered out by filters 1, 2 and 3. The transmitter which is active, but not switched to the anĆ
tenna, is connected to a dummy load. The changeover signals received from the monitor signal procĆ
essor (MSP-D) control the relays K1 (CSB) and K1/K2 (SB1, SB2). The relay position is fed back to
the MSP-D via CSL.
In addition to RFD1-VD/RFD2-VD without nextfield evaluation, three 20 dB couplers (Z1 and Z1,Z2)
are inserted for the RFD1-D and RFD2-D in the output lines to the harmonic filters, which couple
out signal components of CSB, USB, LSB to the MDS-D.
The location of the RFD1-D and RFD2-D is shown in Fig. 2-2.

2.3.3 Monitor Subassemblies
2.3.3.1 Monitor Signal Processor MSP-D
See Fig. 2-7.
The MSP-D is used only for DVOR with option nextfield monitoring. For DVOR with nextfield monitoĆ
ring, the monitor signals of the nextfield dipoles are evaluated in an other way than in the standard
version (MSP-VD).The selection of measurement signals is performed via the signal source switch
MDS-D. The MDS-D supplies the normalized RF-signal (norm. Signal A) to the MDS-D. The signal
is coupled out in an additional 3 dB coupler following amplifier N13,14 before the detector and fed
to the MDS-D. MUX 1 and 2 obtain additional measurement signals for evaluation, which are proĆ
cessed on the MDS-D. The other circuitry of the MSP-D conform to that of the MSP-VD.
The evaluation of the identity (ID) is not performed for nextfield monitoring via path N18,21,22, beĆ
cause the composite signal allows no clear recognition in the standard form due to the processing
on the MDS-D. The presence of identity is checked for the next field monitoring version via the BIT
signal of the transmitter.
The location of the two MSP-D (transmitter 1 and 2) is shown in Fig. 2-2.

2.3.3.2 Monitor Divider Switch DVOR (MDS-D)
See Fig. 2-8.

The MDS-D processes the nextfield signal of the nextfield dipoles in a way that it can be evaluated
for the monitoring process. The following signals are supplied to the MDS-D, which are needed for
monitoring:
- external : RF-signal from nextfield dipole 1...3+4 (the 4. input is also used for the field dipole)
- internal : CSB-forward, CSB-return, USB (SB1), LSB (SB2)
The signals are derived from the 1 to 4 nextfield monitoring dipoles and from bidirectional couplers,
which are inserted in the supply lines to the ASU. Each input signal passes a 3 dB coupler (N55...N65),
is attenuated and put to an integrated RF-switch. The attenuators adapt the RF-level and reduce
possible reactive effects of the following switches. Each signal passes an On/Off-switch (N32...N39,
46...51) with an attenuation band >70 dB, before it is selected by the following channel switches. Each
MSP controls independent from another its signal path via a decoder (D1,2), to call the signals for
evaluation over the channel select switches. The decoder selects one of up to 8 individual monitor
signals and connect this signal path to the MSP-D/1 and MSP-D/2. Because of the series connecĆ
ted channel switches on the MDS-D the required RF-signals (dipole 1...4, CSB, USB+LSB) can be
normalized in level by the RF-attenuator of the MSP. The normalized RF-signal (M1_RF, M2_RF) is
led from the MSP via coupler N64, N66 back to the MDS-D and used for signal processing.
Following the evaluation path each for nextfield dipole 1 and MSP-D/1 are described in short form.
With regard to MSP-D/2 the path behind the input couplers proceed accordingly (see Fig. 2-8).
- Calculation 30 Hz AM
The CSB-signal (forward) passes via N55, N56, N32, N29 to switch N27. From here it is fed via
Z1 for evaluation to the RF-input of the MSP-D. After demodulation it is led to multiplexer 1.
- Calculation nextfield 30 Hz LSB
The signal of the nextfield dipole (1) passes via N61, N37, N31, N28 to switch N27. From here it
is fed via the phase shifter with Z1 for evaluation to the RF-input of the MSP-D and returns as
signal M1_RF to N64 before demodulation. From here it is fed in one branch to mixer U2, where
it is mixed with the LSB-signal. The LSB-signal is supplied via N62, N38, N40. The output signal
of U2 passes via N69,70 to switch N13, and from here via bandpass filter N72,71 to the FM detector,
consisting of V34,35, V43, N3. Reference voltages derived from N25 are supplied to the detector
with N1,2. The output voltage of N3 is adjusted with Uref (M1_UREF_10VN) from N1 such, that the
result is a range of 3,58...4,59 V, which is interpreted for processing in the MSP-D. From output
of amplifier/adder N3/1 the LSB-signal (MDSD_30_HZ_FM_M1) is supplied to multiplexer 2 on
the MSP-D.
- Calculation nextfield 30 Hz USB
is fed via the phase shifter with Z1 for evaluation to the RF-input of the MSP-D and returns as
signal M1_RF to N64 before demodulation. From here it is fed in one branch to mixer U2, where
it is mixed with the USB-signal. The USB-signal is supplied via N63, N39, N40. The output signal
of U2 passes via N69,70 to switch N13, and from here via bandpass filter N72,71 to the FM detector,
consisting of V34,35, V43, N3. Reference voltages derived from N25 are supplied to the detector
with N1,2. The output voltage of N3 is adjusted with Uref (M1_UREF_10VN) from N1 such, that the
result is a range of 3,58...4,59 V, which is interpreted for processing in the MSP-D. From output
of amplifier/adder N3/1 the USB-signal (MDSD_30_HZ_FM_M1) is supplied to multiplexer 2 on
the MSP-D.
