Method of Measurement
3 . 1. 1
Supply voltage is set to 24 VDC. An ammeter is connected in series with collector of each final
stage transistor. Test is made under normal environmental condition.
2 Audio Signal Generators generating each 400 Hz and 1800 Hz at an equal level are
adjusted to produce transmitter RF output power 250 Wpep. Collector current is then
measured.

3 . 6 . 1 Method of Measurement
Supplied with 24 VDC the transmitter is modulated with 2 audio tones 400 Hz and 1800 Hz in
equal level. The input level is adjusted to 10 dB above the level producing PEP output of
250 W.
Therefore,

= (30 Pt) /R
With this reference level, field strength of spurious emitted from the FS-2570 is measured b y
Spectrum Analyzer.
Measurement is made for each test frequency within 9 kHz to 300 MHz, especially on
harmonics of carrier frequency Fc, 456.5 kHz (Intermediate Frequency) and its harmonics,
72.4565 MHz (2nd LO frequency) and (72.4565 + Fc) MHz the level is recorded.
Measurement is made for each of 3 planes of the FS-2570 to search the plane where most
spurious radiation is found.

With the power switch off, the FS-2570 is left in the chamber until thermal equilibrium is
achieved. Power is then applied and, after 15 minutes of warm-up, the reference oscillator
frequency is measured. Measurements are made within the temperature range -30°C to +
50°C at 10°C interval, by applying 85 % (20.4 V), 100% (24 V),and 115% (27.6V) of the
rated DC power supply voltage.
Frequency stability measurements are also performed in cold start conditions (no warm-up
period). For the purpose of these measurements, change in the reference oscillator
frequency is plotted in the function of the lapse of time up to 60 minutes. The FS-2570 is
tested at -30°C, -20°C, 0°C and + 30°C.

4.2 Procedure
(a) Set transmit frequency to ITU 401 and select SSB as class of emission.
(b) Apply two tones simultaneously at frequencies of 400 Hz and 1800 Hz with equal
amplitudes to MIC input of FS-2570 at a level of -36 dBm.
(d) Key the transmitter and adjust R76 (ALC) on B07 05P0736 TX-FIL Board to obtain 250
Wpep.
