conditions and the safety instructions can result in personnel injury or in property damage.
1.2 INTRODUCTION
The DTR100-4 multimode VHF transceiver is a state-of the-art communication unit,
specifically designed to operate as radio core part of Air Traffic Control ground stations. It may
be regarded as an integrated transmitter and receiver device, since the internal transmit and
receive sections operate independently.
It is able to support a huge number of operating modes, ranging from the traditional AM mode
for analogue speech communications, to the latest VoIP mode for digital voice.
Thanks to its DSP-based architecture, software-radio approach, and modular design, it allows
for easy update and re-configuration in terms of type of modulation, channel spacing and
interface to external controllers.
By taking advantage of its embedded processing power, the equipment is ready to allocate
almost any future development simply by firmware or software implementation. This should be
regarded as a "key feature", being the future VHF communications scenario in the ATC
environment complex, and still in evolution.
The equipment has been designed to fulfill operating requirements in any possible system
layout. This result in an extreme degree of flexibility and operability, thus including easy and
intuitive HMI, embedded test and maintenance features, capability to remote commands and
functions, availability on request of a wide range of analogue and digital interfaces to external.
It can also be used as direct replacement of analogue VHF radios in traditional ATC systems.
The equipment features a remarkable interfacing capability and system architecture options, this
including embedded main/standby changeover, as well as a huge range of connectivity
solutions.
In the transmitter section, the equipment has outstanding performances in terms of noise
radiation and unwanted emissions. These features, together with the high grade of immunity to
external interference of the receiver section, allow for meeting considerable co-siting
requirements under EMC-critical equipment arrangement.
DTR100-4 belongs to the latest Selex Communications ATC fourth-generation communication
systems family, together with the DR100V (multimode VHF receiver), and DT100-4 (multimode
VHF transmitter).
The DT100-4 multimode VHF transmitter belongs to the same communication systems family,
and may be basically regarded as a DTR100-4 without the receiver section, but still keeping all
the main common features (capability to support a huge number of operating modes, full
modular design, DSP-based architecture and software-radio approach for signal processing,
etc).
The performance of the transmitter section is identical to DTR100-4, and the internal module
and cards composing the two equipments are the same, allowing easy maintenance and
communality of spare parts.

Technical Handbook
DT100-4 is designed to be paired with DR100V multimode VHF receiver. In comparison with
the use of DTR100-4 transceiver, the system design featuring separate DT100-4 and DR100V
allows for the arrangement of transmitters and receivers at separate (and even remote, if
necessary) sites.
This may result convenient when designing radio systems simultaneously operating on many
channels, and with narrow frequency spacing, since it is possible to achieve the necessary
transmitters/receivers decoupling simply by the physical distance between RX and TX antennae
sites.
ATC third-generation communication systems family also includes ancillary devices, such as
cavity band-pass filters (either manual or automatic tuning), controllers, main/standby switching
devices, etc.

1.6 HANDBOOK APPLICATION TO DTR100-4 AND

DT100-4
Having a common architecture and sharing internal modules and cards, DTR100-4 and DT100-
4 feature many common aspects, since the transmitter shelf may be regarded as a "sub-
equipped" version of the transceiver shelf. Within this document the two equipments are
covered together, but the handbook is mainly shaped on the DTR100-4. To find out all the
points that are peculiar to DTR100-4 or DT100-4 version only, please note the following tips.
• Each chapter, figure, table, warning, footnote and/or indication which is not targeted to
specific equipment must be intended as general application (both DTR100-4 and DT100).
• At the beginning of some sections, a specific chapter labeled as "DT100-4 variant" states
the variants for the DT100-4 equipment within that section.
• Some aspects of the handbook are different from DTR100-4 to DT100-4; relevant chapters,
figures and tables state clearly in their title and/or caption to what type of equipment they
refer to (e.g. § 3.3 - DTR100-4 control, indicators and connectors, and § 3.4 - DT100-4
control, indicators and connectors).
• When an available feature or function does not apply to the DT100-4, this is stated in the
relevant chapter title, or it is footnoted with the statement "DTR100-4 only".
• When, within a set of information and/or data, DT100-4 has several differences vs. DTR100-
4, a specific chapter is available immediately after the relevant general one, under the
labeling " Xxxyyyzzz - DT100-4 variant".
• About some general information (e.g connection layouts), please refer to the information
given in the text and/or footnotes, when differences arises between DTR100-4 and DT100-4.

1.9 DTR100-4 OPERATING MODES

The following is an overview about the equipment operating modes, including description of
tasks and main features of DTR100-4.
1.9.1 AM mode
This is the traditional analogue speech-only ground to air communication mode, using the
double side band amplitude modulation (A3E).
When operating in AM, the equipment allows for selection of channel spacing between 25 and
8.33 kHz, with consequent change of performances (e.g. some RF and AF parameters on both
receiver and transmitter sections). A dedicated DSP algorithm that implements a narrow-band
IF digital filter provides this feature; no hardware intervention is thus required.
Following functionalities are provided:
• AM modulation and demodulation (A3E) when 25 kHz channel spacing is selected,

according to ETS 300 676 and ICAO annex 10 requirements
• AM modulation and demodulation (A3E) with narrow-band features when 8.33 kHz channel
spacing is selected, according to ETS 300 676 and ICAO annex 10 requirements
• Carrier offset facility when 25 kHz channel spacing is selected, allowing to operate in a 2,3, 4
or 5-carriers offset scheme according to ICAO annex 10 requirements
• Noise blanker facility on the receiver section (implemented by DSP technique)
1.9.2 VoIP mode 1
VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, a technology that allows telephone calls to be
made using the Internet rather that a traditional telephone line.
When operating in VoIP, the equipment allows for selection of channel spacing between 25 and
1.9.3 AM-DATA mode
The AM-DATA mode allows operating ACARS function (acronym for Aircraft Communications
Addressing and Reporting System). ACARS allows for data only link between airborne radio
equipment and ground stations. The equipment can support ACARS data link protocol, by
connection to a commercially available external modem.
AM-DATA mode is based on AM-MSK modulation in 25 kHz channel spacing; the physical
media access is realized on CSMA scheme. Following functionality are provided:
• AM-MSK modulation and demodulation @ 2.4 kbit/s, supporting physical level of ACARS
data link protocol (character oriented according to ARINC 618,619,620 requirements, or bit
oriented according to ARINC 622)

2.3 ESD PRECAUTIONS

No ESD precautions have to be taken by the operator in the daily use of the equipment. The
equipment is designed and manufactured in such a way to not be sensible to electrostatic
discharges.
2.3.1 ESD precautions in maintenance/installation
The equipment includes many electrostatic-sensitive parts that must be handled at a static-
safeguarded working area. Furthermore, they must be arranged in static-safeguarded
packages, either in the case of storing, or in the case of shipment.
These recommendations should be followed with the maximum care, especially in the case of
modules or board extraction and handling, for installation or maintenance activity, etc.
A static safeguard area may be intended as:
• Grounded static dissipating wrist-strap that drains static charge from the operator wearing it.
• A work surface covered with or composed of a grounded, static-dissipating material that
drains electrical charges from devices placed on the surface.
Work surface should provide a standard-size ESD-safeguard snap suitable for snap-stacking
wrist-strap connection. It should be used as a convenient ESD caution, whenever handling
modules and boards. These recommendations are to be extended also to activity not strictly
performed in close equipment surrounding. If removed, replaced, or located inside workshop,
any board should be handled by means of convenient ESD cautions.
WARNING Please note that SELEX Communications disclaims any responsibility for
problems due to poor ESD protection during installation/maintenance
activity.

3. OPERATION
The purpose of this section is to describe the operational management of the DTR100-4 and
DT100-4 equipment, specifically control and indicator devices and operating through the control
panel facilities
3.1 DT100-4 VARIANT

From the operation point of view, DTR100-4 and DT100-4 features many common aspects,
since the transmitter shelf may be regarded as a "sub-equipped" version of the transceiver
shelf.
Nevertheless, some aspects of the operational management are different from DTR100-4 to
DT100-4, therefore many of the following chapters, figures and tables state clearly to what type
of equipment they refer to (e.g. § 3.3 - DTR100-4 control, indicators and connectors, and §
3.4 - DT100-4 control, indicators and connectors).
Each chapter and/or indication which is not targeted to specific equipment must be intended as
general application.
When an available feature or function does not apply to the DT100-4, it is footnoted with the
statement "DTR100-4 only".
3.2 OPERATING STATES AND EQUIPMENT ACCESS

POINTS
The equipment can be set in two different operating states:
• ON Line state if the AF line ports, located onto the DM rear panel, are used to manage the
AF+signalling connection, e.g. carrying PTT input and the TX and RX 10 balanced audio lines.
This is the typical operating state to be used when the equipment is serviced by an operator
located at a remote position, such as the audio console facility of a VCSS device.
• OFF Line state if the connector, located onto the Control Panel front side, is used to manage
the AF+signalling connection, e.g. carrying PTT input and the TX and RX 11 audio. In this
operating state, the AF line ports located onto the DM rear panel is (are) not enabled, this
meaning that the equipment can not provide service to an operator located at a remote
position. Although full management of equipment audio facility is possible in OFF Line state
(e.g. by Headset), this is the typical operating state to be used for maintenance and test
activities performed locally.
Concerning O&M functions, the equipment can be managed from the following access points:
• Control Panel (CP), if the O&M control and message monitoring is directly managed on the
equipment, by use of the Control Panel keyboard. It is intended as an easy and immediate
access point.
10
DTR100V only.
11
DTR100V only.
MAN-0426/01
OTE DTR100-4 VHF
OTE DT100-4 VHF
Technical Handbook
• TEST port (TEST), if the O&M control and message monitoring is managed by a software
tool connected to the RS232 Test Interface port located on the equipment front side (e.g. the
Local Management Terminal, or LMT 12). It is intended as a full-control access point giving
the capability to handle any equipment operating parameter; a typical use of this interface is
for setup, maintenance and troubleshooting actions.
• DIAG port (DIAG), if the O&M control and message monitoring is remotely managed through
SELEX Communications Multi-access Infrastructure and Radio Management (MIRM100), or
any other system dedicated to the control of single equipment, or more than one. The
remote control takes place through the RS485 DIAG Diagnostic Interface, located on the
equipment rear side. It is intended as an interface facility targeted to the management from
remote 13.
• O&M Remote I/F (ETH), if the Operation & Maintenance Control/Configuration and
Monitoring is remotely managed by the OTE Multi-access Infrastructure and Radio
Management (MIRM100), or any other Network Management System dedicated to the
control of single or multiple units. The remote control takes place through an IP-based
Diagnostic Interface, accessible over the Ethernet ports located on the equipment rear side.
It is intended as an interface facility targeting management from remote 14.
When performing O&M tasks, it is important to note that many equipment functional parameters
can be accessed only in OFF Line state, irrespectively of the O&M access point. See next
chapters for further details about editable parameters.
12
Refer to LMT documentation for further details.
13
DIAG interface capability is not described in this handbook, since it is dependant on the MIRM100 architecture and
features, and MIRM100 operator position HMI features.
14
The Remote O&M interface capability is not described in this handbook, since it is dependant on the MIRM100
architecture and features, and MIRM100 operator position HMI features.

Equipment in stand-alone configuration:
• The DM ACTIVE LED ON indicates whether the equipment is connected and managed by the AF line (e.g it
becomes OFF if the unit is set OFF-Line).
24
Equipment in main/standby couple configuration:
• In transmission state, or in idle state, the DM ACTIVE LED ON indicates whether the equipment is connected and
managed by the AF line. Therefore, it shows which unit of the main/standby couple is currently in transmission (in
this case, also the CARRIER LED on the TX is active), or which is ready to go in transmission at next PTT (when in
idle state, and no PTT activity is in progress).
• In receive state, the DM ACTIVE LED ON indicates whether the equipment is connected to the AF line. If only
primary AF line is present, and a RF signal is received by both the main and the standby equipment, it is possible
to see the main equipment with DM ACTIVE LED ON (together with CARRIER LED on the RX), while the standby
unit of the couple has DM ACTIVE LED OFF (although its CARRIER LED on the RX is active). This means that
both units are receiving, and the main unit is connected to the line. If the main unit is OFF-Line, in alarm state, or
not receiving, the standby unit is selected for connection to the AF line, and its DM ACTIVE LED is ON.
• In receive state, if both primary and backup AF line are present, and a RF signal is received by both the main and
the standby equipment, it is possible to see DM ACTIVE LED ON on both equipment (together with CARRIER LED
on both RXs). This means that both units are receiving, and the main unit is connected to the primary AF line,
while the standby is connected to the backup AF line. If one unit of the couple is in OFF-Line, in alarm state, or not
receiving, it is disconnected by AF lines and its DM ACTIVE LED is OFF; the other unit of the couple is connected
to both primary and backup AF lines and its DM ACTIVE LED is ON.

Within the O&M protocol, frequency value is translated into a number that may assume different values according to
the selected highest frequency. In case of 137 MHz, valid range of frequency ID is 0 to 3480, where each number
represents the value of the frequency expressed as 8.33 KHz spacing steps over a frequency range 108 to 137 MHz
(frequency = 108 + 8.33* frequency ID).
In case of 156 MHz, valid range of frequency ID is 0 to 5760, where each number represents the value of the frequency
expressed as 8.33 KHz spacing steps over a frequency range 108 to 156 MHz (frequency = 108 + 8.33* frequency ID).

3.3.3.1 About INT or EXT clock selection
The selection of the EXT clock source allows obtaining higher frequency accuracy. It is
important to note that, when EXT clock source is selected, equipment operating mode can not
be changed. Please ensure that INT clock source is selected when changing operating mode.
3.3.3.2 About reset commands
Reset function is available from TEST interface (e.g. by LMT). Warm reset, TDC Default reset
and factory reset functions are available. If the reset requested by the RCU is of “TCP Default”
kind, the DTR100-4 will write the default TCP/IP parameters to the non-volatile memory. Since
factory reset performs equipment re-initialisation to factory-default settings, all the current
parameters will be lost and set to default values. It is therefore necessary to set again operating
data (e.g. frequency, etc) to put equipment in service.
65
This function is factory-reserved; it allows for storing information about the factory hardware configuration.
66
PS Alarms enabling/disabling should be carried out according to system architecture. In example, if no DC supply
system is provided to the equipment, the relevant PS DC Fail alarm shall be disabled.
67
This parameter is used to configure the ANT connector signals of IMC card. When set to "Squelch Output" the ANT
connector replicates the Squelch signal and may be used to drive other systems according to the squelch status (e.g.
SMIR systems).

3.3.3.3 About Baseline and Factory Data Flash
Baseline is an identification 4-fields number indicating the equipment global release. Although
this parameter is factory-configured on the proper value, it may be necessary to edit it during the
equipment lifetime, e.g. upon software upgrade of any of the internal module or cards.
Baseline format as following example for Baseline 1.2.0.1.
Table 3.15 - Baseline format
Index Ref. Definition Note

Index 1 1 Main baseline index This number identifies the overall equipment hardware,
firmware and software configuration
Index 2 2 Major baseline index This number identifies the functions of the equipment.
Changes to this number imply major changes to the
functions of the equipment.
Index 3 0 Minor baseline index This number identifies the functions of the equipment.
Changes to this number imply minor changes to the
Index 4 1 Fix baseline index This number identifies the fixes implemented in the
equipment.
Factory Data Flash is intended as a reserved info field, to host info about equipment hardware
configuration. Although this parameter is factory-filled with proper data, it may be necessary to
edit it during the equipment lifetime, e.g. upon upgrade or replacement of any of the internal
module or cards. Please refer to LMT documentation for further details about these tasks.
3.3.3.4 About Manual Main Rack Type
In "Manual Main" mode of operation, a radio equipment may be forced in main or stand-by
status from a remote device (e.g. VCSS, etc). This is possible by sending a command toward
the main radio equipment, that is the one that manages the changeover, to force the main or the
stand-by status.
3.3.3.5 About shelf configuration
Shelf configuration is possible through specific set of commands from TEST interface (e.g. by
LMT). By shelf configuration, it is possible to convert DTR100-4 transceiver into a "virtual"
DT100-4 transmitter or DR100V receiver, by excluding the relevant module from the RCB
management, and restarting the equipment. This function may be useful in the case of special
operating or testing needs. Please refer to LMT documentation for further details about this
task.

3.3.3.6 About Noise Blanker Setting
The noise blanker purpose is to reduce the effect of the additive impulsive noise that can be
found in the received data/voice signal.
Two Noise Blanker modes are allowed:
• Blanking: it operates by blanking the impulsive noise to the average of the received signal.
• Reconstruction: the impulsive noise is detected and replaced with signal reconstructed
according to the last portion of the received signal.
3.3.3.7 About Squelch settings
C/N squelch. This is the default setting of the equipment, which operates a quality evaluation
based on the C/N ratio of the received RF signal, where C (carrier) is intended as the level of
the signal, and N (noise) is intended as the channel noise level out of the audio bandwidth.
Operator shall select a C/N squelch threshold in the range 5 to 20 dB.
The squelch opening will take place once the equipment is receiving a signal having a C/N
quality ratio higher than the selected threshold, plus the selected squelch hysteresis value.
Example:
The C/N squelch is set to 10 dB.
The SQL Hysteresis is set to 2 dB.
Result:
The equipment receives if the incoming RF signal has a C/N of 12 dB or more. The equipment keeps on receiving until
RF signal has a C/N higher than 10 dB.
The C/N squelch function is recommended when the equipment is operating in

electromagnetically noisy locations, e.g. when a receiving site is desensitized by other
telecommunications or broadcasting facilities in the surrounding, or from closely located
industrial facilities.
RSSI squelch. This is the traditional receive squelch function, actuated by evaluating the RF
signal level, by means of RSSI meter (Received Signal Strenght Indication). Operator shall
select a squelch threshold in the range -107 dBm to -44 dBm. The squelch opening will take
place once the equipment is receiving a signal higher than the selected threshold, plus the
selected squelch hysteresis value.
Example:
The RSSI squelch is set to -103.0 dBm.
Result:
The equipment receives when the incoming RF signal is -101.0 dBm or more. The equipment keeps on receiving until
RF signal is higher than -103.0 dBm.
MAN-0426/01
OTE DTR100-4 VHF
OTE DT100-4 VHF
Technical Handbook
C/N + Override squelch. This is a combination of the above squelch operating modes. By
selecting this function, the equipment operates with C/N squelch up to the Override threshold,
selectable by operator threshold in the range -107 dBm to -67 dBm.
Over a level that is given by override threshold value, plus the selected squelch hysteresis
value, the equipment operates with RSSI squelch, so that a signal having an higher RF level is
received and demodulated irrespectively of its effective C/N ratio.
Example:
The C/N squelch is set to 10 dB.
The Override is set to -87 dBm.
Result:
The equipment receives if the incoming RF signal has a C/N of 12 dB or more. The equipment keeps on receiving until
RF signal has a C/N higher than 10 dB.
The equipment receives when the incoming RF signal is -85.0 dBm or more, irrespectively of the current C/N ratio.
3.3.3.8 About SSV settings
The SSV (Signal Strength Voltage) output, which is available on the SERVICE connector of the
DTR100-4 radio equipment, gives a measure of the radio equipment RF input signal.
Since the SSV output must be compatible with different systems, it may be configured in order
to be usable by the connected system.
It is supposed that the transfer function between the RF input signal (expressed in dBm) and the
SSV output (expressed in V) may be represented, with sufficient accuracy, by a straight line or
two half-lines; this means that the transfer function may be defined by setting the corresponding
value of the SSV output for two or three values of the RF input signal, as shown in the figure
below.
Figure 3.5 - SSV - RF input transfer function
The SSV setting may be obtained by using the LMT (baseline at least 1.2.4.1).
MAN-0426/01
OTE DTR100-4 VHF
OTE DT100-4 VHF
Technical Handbook
The SSV setting consists in the setting of the coordinates of the points P1, P2, P3 (shown in
Figure 3.5) and the value of the load resistance (R load 68) connected to the SSV output.
The order of the points P1 and P3 is not important, P1 may be lower than P3 or vice versa; P2
must always be the intermediate point and it may be “Not defined” (if the transfer function
between the RF input and the SSV output is represented by a straight line).
The admitted ranges for the SSV output configuration parameters are given in the following
table.
Table 3.16 - Ranges for SSV configuration parameters
Parameter Min Max

RF input (P1, P2, P3) -120 dBm +10 dBm
SSV output (P1, P2, P3) 100 mV 6000 mV
R Load 5.6 kOhm 1000 kOhm
Moreover the max admitted voltage difference (available dynamics) between P1 and P3 is 4500
mV. This value, if the load resistance is present, must be reduced according to the following:
Available dynamics = 4500 * R load / (R load + 0.56),

where R load is the value of the load resistance expressed in kOhm.
3.3.4 DTR100-4 measurements environment
The ▲ and ▼ keys allow to access to the measurements environment. The following list details
the measurements that can be shown on the display. . To exit from measurements environment
press C key, and the default window appears on the display.

It is important to insert the value of the load resistance connected to the SSV output. If this value is not inserted, it is
considered infinite and, since the SSV output resistance is different than 0 (it is 560 Ohm), the SSV output may be
afflicted by an error.

3.4.1.1 About INT or EXT clock selection
The selection of the EXT clock source allows obtaining higher frequency accuracy. It is
important to note that, when EXT clock source is selected, equipment operating mode can not
be changed. Please ensure that INT clock source is selected when changing operating mode.
3.4.1.2 About reset commands
Reset function is available from TEST interface (e.g. by LMT). Warm reset, TDC Default reset
and factory reset functions are available. If the reset requested by the RCU is of “TCP Default”
kind, the DT100-4 (equipped with MSIC only) will write the default TCP/IP parameters to the
non-volatile memory. Since factory reset performs equipment re-initialisation to factory-default
settings, all the current parameters will be lost and set to default values. It is therefore
necessary to set again operating data (e.g. frequency, etc) to put equipment in service.
3.4.1.3 About Baseline and Factory Data Flash
Baseline is an identification 4-fields number indicating the equipment global release. Although
this parameter is factory-configured on the proper value, it may be necessary to edit it during the
equipment lifetime, e.g. upon software upgrade of any of the internal module or cards.
Baseline format as following example for Baseline 1.2.0.1.
Table 3.25 - Baseline format
Index Ref. Definition Note

Index 1 1 Main baseline index This number identifies the overall equipment hardware,
firmware and software configuration
Index 2 2 Major baseline index This number identifies the functions of the equipment.
Changes to this number imply major changes to the
Index 3 0 Minor baseline index This number identifies the functions of the equipment.
Changes to this number imply minor changes to the
Index 4 1 Fix baseline index This number identifies the fixes implemented in the
equipment.
Factory Data Flash is intended as a reserved info field, to host info about equipment hardware
configuration. Although this parameter is factory-filled with proper data, it may be necessary to
edit it during the equipment lifetime, e.g. upon upgrade or replacement of any of the internal
module or cards. Please refer to LMT documentation for further details about these tasks.

3.4.1.4 About Manual Main Rack Type
In "Manual Main" mode of operation, a radio equipment may be forced in main or stand-by
status from a remote device (e.g. VCSS, etc). This is possible by sending a command toward
the main radio equipment, that is the one that manages the changeover, to force the main or the
stand-by status.
3.4.1.5 About shelf configuration
Shelf configuration is possible through specific set of commands from TEST interface (e.g. by
LMT). By shelf configuration, it is possible to convert DTR100-4 transceiver into a "virtual"
DT100-4 transmitter or DR100V receiver, by excluding the relevant module from the RCB
management, and restarting the equipment. This function may be useful in the case of special
operating or testing needs. Please refer to LMT documentation for further details about this
task.
3.4.1.6 About SSV settings
The SSV (Signal Strength Voltage) output, which is available on the SERVICE connector of the
DT100-4 radio equipment, gives a measure of the radio equipment RF input signal.
Since the SSV output must be compatible with different systems, it may be configured in order
to be usable by the connected system.
It is supposed that the transfer function between the RF input signal (expressed in dBm) and the
SSV output (expressed in V) may be represented, with sufficient accuracy, by a straight line or
two half-lines; this means that the transfer function may be defined by setting the corresponding
value of the SSV output for two or three values of the RF input signal, as shown in the figure
below.
Figure 3.10 - SSV - RF input transfer function
The SSV setting may be obtained by using the LMT (baseline at least 1.2.4.1).
MAN-0426/01
OTE DTR100-4 VHF
OTE DT100-4 VHF
Technical Handbook
The SSV setting consists in the setting of the coordinates of the points P1, P2, P3 (shown in
Figure 3.5) and the value of the load resistance (R load 120) connected to the SSV output.
The order of the points P1 and P3 is not important, P1 may be lower than P3 or vice versa; P2
must always be the intermediate point and it may be “Not defined” (if the transfer function
between the RF input and the SSV output is represented by a straight line).
The admitted ranges for the SSV output configuration parameters are given in the following
table.
Table 3.26 - Ranges for SSV configuration parameters
Parameter Min Max

RF input (P1, P2, P3) -120 dBm +10 dBm
SSV output (P1, P2, P3) 100 mV 6000 mV
R Load 5.6 kOhm 1000 kOhm
Moreover the max admitted voltage difference (available dynamics) between P1 and P3 is 4500
mV. This value, if the load resistance is present, must be reduced according to the following:
Available dynamics = 4500 * R load / (R load + 0.56),

where R load is the value of the load resistance expressed in kOhm.
3.4.2 DT100-4 measurements environment
The ▲ and ▼ keys allow to access to the measurements environment. The following list details
the measurements that can be shown on the display. . To exit from measurements environment
press C key, and the default window appears on the display.
Parameter Unit Description

VSWR - Current VSWR at the RF output 121
RF power output Watts Current RF power at the RF output 122
Modulation depth % Current modulation depth applied on the radiated carrier 123
120
It is important to insert the value of the load resistance connected to the SSV output. If this value is not inserted, it is
considered infinite and, since the SSV output resistance is different than 0 (it is 560 Ohm), the SSV output may be
afflicted by an error.

4. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
This section of the handbook provides functional descriptions of the equipment, supported by
block diagrams located in Annex A, showing the relationship between the hardware elements.
A description of structure and operation of the software is given in relevant chapters.
4.1 DT100-4 VARIANT

Having a common architecture and sharing internal modules and cards, DTR100-4 and DT100-
4 have many common technical features, since the transmitter shelf may be regarded as a "sub-
equipped" version of the transceiver shelf. Therefore, each chapter which is not targeted to a
specific equipment must be intended as general application.
When, within a set of information and/or data, DT100-4 has several differences vs. DTR100-4, a
specific chapter is available immediately after the relevant general one, under the labeling "
Xxxyyyzzz - DT100-4 variant".
When an available feature or function does not apply to the DT100-4, this is stated in the
relevant chapter title, or it is footnoted with the statement "DTR100-4 only".

A set of main modules composes the transceiver "radio section".
• Receiver module (RX) 125

• Transmitter module (TX)
• Power Supply module (PS)
• Moreover the DM module performs demodulation and digital voice processing functions.
The operation and maintenance and local management functions are carried out by means of
specific "management" modules:
• Digital Module (DM).

• Control Panel
All modules and cards that compose the equipment are internally inter-connected via the
backplane.
The equipment features a "distributed-processing" architecture. Each of the main modules (DM,
TX, etc) features its own local microcontroller that handles all the module operating functions,
and locally supports O&M tasks. The overall management of O&M functions of the whole
equipment is then performed by the "management" card (DM), that dialogues with radio
modules via a dedicated serial communication data line defined as Radio Control Bus, or RCB.
The equipment is based on "software radio" approach, this meaning that, even when operating
in the traditional AM mode, the signal processing is fully handled in the digital mode (DSP).
The equipment is able to operate in any of the rated operating modes with no hardware re-
configuration, it is only necessary to re-program it by downloading the relevant SW application
and firmware by the HMI functions at set-up phase.
4.2.1 Architecture overview - DT100-4 variant
The DT100-4 architecture is similar to DTR100-4, with the exception of receiver module
absence.

4.2.2 Introduction to modules and cards
From a functional point of view the "radio-section" may be intended composed by RX 126, TX
and PS modules . Moreover the DM module performs demodulation and digital voice processing
functions.
The TX and RX modules mainly perform the related RF functions, while a dedicated part of DM
module handles carrier digital processing. Both TX and RX module feature their own digital
section providing full module control, local O&M tasks and communication with the
"management" section, through Radio Control Bus (RCB), which is used for control and
diagnostic data exchange.
• The TX module is based on a cartesian feedback layout, that provides modulated signal up-
conversion, and amplification up to 50W CW output with the appropriate linearity
requirements, constantly monitoring the relevant output signal parameters. Input modulating
signal in I/Q format data stream is received from the DM module via an RS422 serial
interface. Channel synthesis for both 8.33 KHz and 25 KHz spacing is realized internally to
the module.
127
• The RX module is based on a super-heterodyne layout that provides the full down-
conversion of received AM/D8PSK/GFSK modulated RF signals, and amplification to
required level for the analogue to digital conversion. The RX module sends the digitized I/Q
format data stream to the DM module via an RS422 serial interface. Channel synthesis for
both 8.33 KHz and 25 KHz spacing is realized internally to the module.
• The PS module provides all the required internal supply voltages for DTR100-4 modules
operation. It also provides EMI filtering and over-voltage/under-voltage line protections. It is
fed by external AC or DC power sources.
The "management section” of the equipment may be intended composed by those sub-units
dedicated to the implementation and supporting of the equipment O&M functions. Their task is
interfacing and supporting communication with external systems, monitoring and control
operations of transceiver functions, and handling of the DTR100-4 configuration. Connection to
"radio-section" modules is realized by means of Radio Control Bus (RCB), which is used for
control and diagnostic data exchange.
• The Digital Module (DM) has the following main functions:

9 The DM module performs demodulation of RF signal at intermediate frequency and
digital elaboration of signals in audio band. It is composed of a dedicated FPGA that is
mainly charged of carrier processing and the associated control tasks, on both TX and
128
RX path . The type and amount of signal processing tasks is dependent on the
operating mode. It operates as digital signal processor on both paths, translating
speech from/to PCM audio format into I/Q "quadrature" samples data stream, and
performing audio-processing tasks. Moreover the DM module generates all the
required frequency reference clocks for each module, which compose the DTR100-4.
The DM allows for clock synchronization to an external GPS/GNSS reference. In all
operating modes, I/Q samples exchanges with TX and RX modules takes place onto an
RS422 serial interface.
9 The DM module performs management of DTR100-4 O&M tasks and Control Panel
management. The DM Module also manages a local serial O&M data line, which is
then available on service port on the DM module front panel. The DM module is also

able to support integrated main/standby system features, thus allowing realizing flexible
solutions for ATC radio systems with no need of external switching devices. With this
solution, the equipment can be installed in a coupled configuration, where only one of
the coupled transceivers is normally active.
9 The DM module is also the module dedicated to manage all the external interfaces
(TELCO, ETH, SERIAL etc.) of the equipment towards external lines, devices, or
controllers. The DM module is used, in AM mode, to process analogue speech
communication, and analogue interfacing with external Voice Communication Switching
Systems, or external ACARS modem. DM module can manage two separate audio and
signalling lines toward the external, supporting redundancy. It allows for supporting
integrated main/standby solutions, based on two equipments. Thanks to embedded
DSP device, DM module is able to handle in-band tone signalling for E and M lines, as
well as an in-band low-speed O&M data channel, to support a remote management
system.
• The Control Panel, which is managed by the DM module, absolves any local HMI functions.
It features a 2-rows LCD display, and four operating keys, suitable for get status data like
current operating mode, frequency value and error conditions; or performing some routine
regulations (loudspeaker volume, squelch level adjustment, etc).

4.2.3 Mechanical description
The DTR100-4 is arranged inside a 3HE/84TE cabinet for 19” rack-standard fitting, according to
Eurocard IEC 297/Section 3 standards. External dimensions are 482.72 mm (width) x 133,35
mm (height) x 385 mm (depth) and weight is 13 Kg. The equipment is designed on full-
modularity philosophy, allowing easy replacement of defective modules in case of failure, with
negligible MTTR figure. Subrack is arranged in a metallic frame equipped with handles and
rack-fitting hardware.
All the internal module are connected to the backplane that is fitted onto the back of the
transceiver subrack, these modules can be extracted from the front side since are mounted on
guides. A top view of the internal units within the shelf is given in the figure below.
Figure 4.2 - DTR100-4 shelf top view
On the equipment back side, the backplane hosts the connectors for external AC and DC power
supplies, RF ports, external reference clock ports, and cooling fan managed by the TX module.
The latter is located behind the PS and TX modules. The backplane also hosts the analogue
and/or digital connections towards transport network, and service connectors for O&M port.
Connectors for test interface, and audio ancillaries are located on the front side.
4.2.4 Mechanical description - DT100-4 variant
The DT100-4 mechanical layout is almost identical to DTR100-4, since it is arranged inside the
same shelf without the RX module. The unused RX slot on the front panel is replaced by a
dummy panel. External dimensions and weight are common for both equipments.

4.3 SIGNAL EXCHANGE

The signal exchange internal to the equipment among various modules and cards is detailed in
following chapters.
4.3.1 Internal signal exchange
All signals exchange and distribution between the modules takes place by means of balanced
interfacing lines, with the exception of Command and Alarm signals that are generally ON/OFF
status signals.
All the modules inside the radio equipment communicates through the radio backplane.
The following signal typologies can be identified:

• I/Q data stream bus. This bus line groups the I/Q data signals. The DM module collects
these signals incoming from RX module (as a result of demodulation chain) on the receive
path 129. On the transmission path, DM module sends them to the TX module for being
processed by the modulator stage. These signals are exchanged in RS422 synchronous
serial lines. The TX module requires two synchronous serial lines (RS422 16-bit data
@ 1.365 Kbit/s with 84Ksample/s in digital mode and 80Ksample/s in AM mode), one line for
I and one for Q samples. The RX module 130 requires two synchronous serial lines (RS422
16-bit data @ 8.736 Kbit/s); one serial line is used for I and Q samples (SIQ_RX), and the
other one is used for AGC output voltage (V_AGC).
• Clock and Timing bus. The modules that compose the DTR100-4 need some different
frequency reference signal clocks. This bus line regroups all these required signals.

9 8.736 MHz. This is the data master clock and it provides time frame synchronization
required for serial I&Q voice and data samples. This master clock is generated in the
DM module and it is sent to the RX module 131 by means an RS232 serial line.
9 10 MHz. This frequency reference clock comes from DM module where is locally
generated or slaved to an external GPS/GNSS interface. It is then sent to the RX and
TX modules where it is used as reference clock required for synthesizers sub-modules
and for microcontroller unit.
• Radio Control Bus (RCB). This is the communication link used for the software application
processes allocated in the TX, RX 132 and DM modules. It is used to route towards the DM
module all the collected information strictly relating to O&M tasks (failures, status, etc), as
well as O&M signalling (configuration messages, SW downloading, etc). This line
connection is realized by means an RS485 @19.2 Kbit/s asynchronous serial data line.
Additionally this bus line collects a wake-up signal. This is a command, incoming from the
DM module is used to force TX and RX 133 modules exit from sleep mode (“software stand-by
mode”).
• Command and Alarm signal bus. This bus collects a wide range of internal commands (e.g.
led activation), and status/alarms signals (e.g. module presence, temperature alarms,
internal voltage sensing, etc). These signals are mainly routed to the DM module for
handling, with the exception of the supply summary alarms (PS data line). These, incoming
from the PS module, are routed to the DM module. They indicate whether the TRX is
correctly supplied.
4.3.2 Internal signal exchange - DT100-4 variant
The DT100-4 internal signal exchange is identical to DTR100-4 layout, with the exception of the
absence of receiver section, and related signals such as receive path I/Q data stream and 8.736
MHz. data master clock.
4.3.3 Internal DC supplies distribution
The DTR100-4 is powered by external +24 VDC and 230 VAC. VAC and the VDC inputs are
directly connected on the rear-side of the PS module. The PS module provides all the internal
voltages required for equipment operating (+28 VDC, +13.5 VDC, +5 VDC, +3.3 VDC). PS
module also provides the common ground reference for all modules. See functional block
diagram in the figure below.

4.4 TX MODULE
The TX module provides to up-convert modulated signals, amplify it to rated 50 W CW output
level with the appropriate linearity requirements, and control the output signal parameters. I and
Q format input data stream is received from the DM Module via an RS422 serial interface.
The TX Module provides the following main functions:
• Conversion of I and Q digital samples incoming from the DM module, into analogue signals
to modulate them at required carrier frequency according to selected operating mode (AM,
D8PSK or GFSK).
• 50 W (+47 dBm) CW RF power output, step-adjustable.
• Protection from excessive VSWR (higher than 3), with protection reset on timer expiring.
• Channel synthesis for 25 KHz and 8.33 KHz.
• Frequency programming in the range 108 to 156 MHz.
• Support for 2, 3, 4 and 5 offset channel scheme, by offset introduced on the SINTX board
managed by microcontroller.
• 10 MHz Reference clock filtering/recovering (clock from DM is filtered by a local PLL). This
clock is used for microcontroller operations and synthesizers reference.
• Monitoring of the main board parameters, e.g. forward power, reverse power and
temperature.
• Alarms and measurements collection by microcontroller.
• O&M connection with DM master unit, via RS485 serial interface (RCB).
The TX module is physically divided into separate boards:
• TX board, which hosts the digital section, the exciter, the modulator analogue, the digital
circuits and the .SYNT.
• PA board, which hosts the RF power amplifier section.
These sub-modules are mechanically coupled and they have their own connector towards the
backplane. The RF outputs of the SINTX board are connected to the TX board by coaxial
cables.

4.4.1 Functional description
The functional description can be split into separate chapters for TX, PA, and SYNTX boards. A
schematic block diagram of TX module is given in following figure, for a more detailed scheme
refer to functional block diagram in Annex A.

4.4.1.1 TX board
The functional description can be split into separate chapters for TX and PA boards. A
schematic block diagram of TX module is given in following figure, for a more detailed scheme
refer to functional block diagram in Annex A.
4.4.1.2 TX board
The TX board hosts the digital section and the modulator analogue circuits (RF section).
The digital section performs the management of I&Q samples coming from the DM module
through RS422 serial data line (to be then converted in analogue signals and sent to RF
section), the control, management and diagnostic of the module, providing also support to
communication with the other modules.
The digital section comprises the following component parts (see the functional block diagram in
Annex A):
• Control Processing Unit (CPU). It is composed by microcontroller, memory banks and I/O
data interfaces. Microcontroller and its additional circuits (reference oscillator, reset and
MAN-0426/01
OTE DTR100-4 VHF
OTE DT100-4 VHF
Technical Handbook
watchdog circuits) provide full management of TX module functions. It features Serial

Communications Interfaces (SCI) providing management of three data lines. First data line
is the RCB RS485 bus for supporting the entire module O&M functionality. Second data line
supports RS232 data line for test purposes. Third data line is suitable for EEPROM
management. Microcontroller also handles lock_RF and lock_TCXO signals coming from
SYNTX. A 10-bit 8 input ADC is available inside microcontroller, and it is used for reading
analogue parameters (e.g. PA temperature, loop instability, forward and reverse power, etc).
Moreover Microcontroller handles the loop phase commands that allow TX phase shifter on
the feedback loop having all possible phase adjustments (from 0° to 360°). The 180° and
90° shifting steps are driven by ON/OFF commands, while a voltage is originated by a
microcontroller embedded DAC that manages 0-90° fine adjustment.
• Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) is a multi-purpose unit operating in
conjunction with microcontroller. It receives I&Q data stream incoming from the DM module
through an RS422 serial interface and routes them to D/A converter. It also provides D/A
converters interfacing and handling. CPLD also manages LED indicators and RF coaxial
relay driver.
• Flash memory and EEPROM banks. Flash is used to host software application program. It
is interfaced to microcontroller and CPLD units by and a 16-bit data and address buses.
EEPROM is suitable for data permanent storage.
• D/A converter. A DAC is used for conversion of I&Q data stream, incoming from DM
module, into I and Q analogue quadrature signals for the modulator stage.
• RS232 driver for Test Interface Port then routed to the backplane.
The RF section includes all the circuits necessary to I&Q signal up-conversion, RF signal
amplification for PA driving, and analogue feedback loop for TX linearization. It is directly
interfaced with the digital section.
The RF section receives from the digital section I and Q analogue signals and provides AM
modulation on the carrier frequency generated by local synthesizer, in the range 108 to 156
MHz.
The RF section comprises the following functional blocks wrt the signal path (see the functional
block diagram in Annex A):
• Anti Alias Filters. This filters provide low pass filtering of I and Q analogue signals to reject
DAC aliases.
• Modulator. The modulator stage is composed by the error amplifier stage (in which the
feedback signal from the Cartesian loop is combined to the to I and Q analogue signals), and
the quadrature I/Q up-converter stage. The latter provides the AM modulation on the carrier
frequency, which is determined by local oscillator setting; the same local oscillator output is
pre-processed by two phase shifter stages in order to have a 90° phase-shifting between I/Q
modulator driving carriers. Power output control is realized by I&Q factor scaling.
• Linearization stage. A Cartesian feedback layout is used; therefore a sample of RF output
signal is down-converted to produce I&Q recovered DM, to be routed at error amplifier
feedback inputs. The local oscillator provides carrier frequency as previously seen for
modulator stage; an adjustable phase pre-offset is provided to avoid any possible
non-linearity condition of the loop. This offset is from 0° to 360° variable and is controlled by
the digital section. An instability detector monitors the feedback I or Q signals from the TX
down-converter amplifiers and inform the microcontroller unit when the loop becomes
unstable (to avoid the occurrence of auto-oscillations that can be triggered by loop instability
status). At the linearization stage end, a switch handled by the microcontroller unit allows
the modulator for operating in "open loop" conditions.

• SINTX. The SINTX features a dual PLL synthesizer with VCO and provides the generation
of TX frequency. Frequency synthesis is serially managed by the microprocessor located
onto TX board digital section, through a synchronous serial data line. Main synthesizer
reference frequency (12.8 MHz) is provided by a voltage-controlled TCXO, which is
managed by a dedicated PLL controller. This is clocked by 10 MHz reference, coming from
the DM module. Both synthesizers provide lock condition signalling towards the digital
section.
• Signals Detectors. TX board hosts two power detectors, managing the output of the
directional coupler located at PA final stage. Reverse and forward power samples are sent
to attenuators and rectified. Outputs are then sent to microcontroller unit for processing.
The TX board also hosts the LED indicators driver and the RF switch driver. These drivers
control respectively the LEDs on the module front panel, and the Relay Card (if present).
The Relay Card is an optional item which allows for arrangement of the transmitter and receiver
RF ports onto a common RF path, if "transceiver" architecture is desired. This is achieved by
external cabling suitable to route the RX and TX antenna ports to Relay Card NC and NO
inputs, respectively. Further details are given in chapter § 4.10.
4.4.1.3 PA board
The Power Amplifier is a high power amplifying stage and it is designed to ensure high reliability
and linearity figures. It comprises the following blocks, wrt the signal path (see the functional
block diagram in Annex A):
• RF Amplifier chain. First amplifying stage is a driver that is fed by the TX up-converted
signal at +26 dBm PEP level, and boosts it to a suitable level for driving the next stage (+35
dBm PEP). RF signal is sent to a splitter, and then to a symmetric dual amplifier stage
whose dual output is coupled to obtain the rated RF power output.
• Harmonic filter. Connected at amplifier chain end there is a LP filter to reject harmonic
outputs from the Power Amplifier, and also contributes to TX image frequency and TX Local
Oscillator rejection to obtain the required level of spurious.
• Dual Directional Coupler. It provides sampling of forward and reverse signals at the RF
output port. The sampled forward signal is sent to TX board and used in a Cartesian
feedback loop, to linearize the transmitter. It is also used to control the RF output power.
The sampled reverse power is sent to TX board, where it is used both for VSWR
measurement, and to generate VSWR alarm. This allows power amplifier protecting against
potentially damaging load mismatching. At the Directional Coupler output, RF level
corresponds to the rated power output.

4.5 RX MODULE (DTR100-4 ONLY)

Since the DT100-4 is not fitted with the receiver section, the following chapters about RX
module apply only to DTR100-4.
The RX module provides the full down-conversion and amplification of received RF signals and
A/D conversion of the AM/D8PSK/GFSK analogue signal into a digitized I and Q format data
stream.
Data stream is then sent to the DM module for processing via RS422 serial interface.
The RX module is based on a dual-conversion heterodyne layout, and provides the following
main functions:
• RF signal Front-end filtering (band filtering/channel pre-selection).

• Received signal AM/D8PSK/GFSK selection and filtering.
• Conversion of received signal to digitized DM I and Q format.
• Channel synthesis for 25 KHz and 8.33 KHz.
• Frequency programming in the range 108 to 156 MHz.
• AGC and muting functions.
• 10 MHz Reference clock filtering/recovering (clock from DM module is filtered by a local PLL,
to avoid interference). This clock is used for microcontroller operations and synthesizers
reference.
• Alarms and measurements collection by microcontroller.
• O&M connection with DM master unit via RS485 interface (RCB).
The RX module is physically divided into separate boards:
• RX Board, that is functionally divided into a RF section and a digital section.

• Front-end Board, that hosts separately the RF front-end circuits.

A schematic block diagram of RX module is given in following figure, for a more detailed
scheme refer to functional block diagram in Annex A.
Figure 4.5 - RX module block diagram
4.5.1.1 Front-end board
RF input stage, Front-end and Mixer blocks are arranged on the separate Front-end board.
The Front-End block is realised with a tuneable two cells filter, and a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA);
its main function is to fulfil specifications related to the sensitivity and to the image rejection.
The Front-End has two selectable attenuators 3dB (low sensitivity) and 28dB (high sensitivity).
The microcontroller can insert the 3dB attenuator, so that it is possible to improve the
intermodulation characteristic lowering 3dB sensitivity. The insertion of the 28 dB attenuator is
commanded with a signal from the DM module when the input signal is higher than –15 dBm
(the attenuator can be also microcontroller commanded).
The LNA output is sent directly to the passive mixer, where the first down-conversion takes
place. This first mixer also receives the 1st Local Oscillator frequency (see table below),
provided by the synthesizer section.
4.5.1.2 RX board
The RX board hosts part of RF section and the digital section.

The RF section provides complete reception of RF path from the front-end input stage and
transmission to IF stages. It also provides signal analogue to digital conversion.
The Digital section provides full RX module control, diagnostic and communication with an
external unit. It also provides demodulation of sampled signal incoming from RF section and

generation of I/Q data stream output and internal timings. The whole RF section is designed to
receive signals within the 108 to 156 MHz frequency range. This is achieved by means of a
super-heterodyne double-conversion layout.
The following table indicates intermediate and local oscillator frequencies.
1st IF 21.4 MHz

nd
2 IF 455 KHz
st
1 LO 129.4 to 177.4 MHz
nd
2 LO 21.855 MHz
The RF section comprises the following functional blocks (see the functional block diagram in
Annex A):
• 1st Intermediate Frequency stage. The resulting 21.4 MHz IF output signal, incoming from
the Front-end mixer is filtered and amplified by an amplifier stage and then sent to the 1st IF
stage. This stage is composed by an IF amplifier, and related high selectivity quartz filter.
This filter is capable of 90 dB attenuation in 25 KHz bandwidth, providing high selectivity
figure wrt tuned channel.
• 2nd Intermediate Frequency stage. The signal is sent to the 2nd mixer, where the 2nd
down-conversion takes place. This high level mixer also receives the 2nd Local Oscillator
frequency (21.885 MHz) that is provided by the synthesizer section. The resulting 455 KHz
IF output signal is filtered and then amplified by an amplifier stage.
• Channel selection stage. The DTR100-4 performs analogue AM modulation with 25 KHz or
8.33 KHz channel spacing, so that when the receiver works with AM 8.33 KHz signal, an
8.33 KHz pass-band filter is selected. The SEL_8.33 command, incoming from digital
section, manages two switches that allow the 8.33/25 KHz channel selection. 25 KHz
channel is also used in D8PSK and GFSK demodulation.
• I and Q data valid generation, IF AGC. The converted signal is sent to an amplification
stage. This stage is realized with an AGC (Automatic Gain Control) module that handles two
variable gain amplifiers. The amplified signal is then sent to the 455 kHz 2nd IF filter. To
obtain in-phase and quadrature signal components, the 455 kHz 2nd IF output signal is sent
to a differential A/D driver. Before entering the A/D converter, there is a ceramic passband
25 kHz filter, used for out of band noise rejection in order to improve converter operations.
The AGC module action depends on RF input signal power level. The AGC circuit starts
operating whether the RF input signal has a power level ≥-85 dBm. Without AGC, when this
threshold is passed, IF output signal is not able to provide a reliable information about RF
input signal amplitude, because the stage is not linear with the RF input signal. A linear
characteristic is instead maintained on AGC output voltage (V_AGC). This AGC output
voltage is then sent to an Analogue to Digital converter and routed to digital section for
monitoring. Resulting output is acknowledged by DM module to evaluate RSSI (Received
Signal Strength Indicator). It is important to note that, a further AGC stage is realized at
audio frequency level onto DM module by DSP processing.
• Local Oscillator synthesis section. The synthesizer is realized on the same RX board, but it
is enclosed within a separate EMI-screened box. It features a dual PLL synthesizer and
VCO providing the generation of 1st Local Oscillator, determined by the operating channel
setting, and 2nd Local Oscillator (fixed generation of 21.855 MHz frequency). The 1st Local
Oscillator is serially managed by the microprocessor, located in the digital section, through a
synchronous serial data line. The 1st Local Oscillator output is then sent to the 1st IF stage
conversion mixer. The 21.855 MHz 2nd Local Oscillator output is instead sent to the 2nd IF
stage conversion mixer. A third PLL-based synthesizer block provides Local Oscillator fixed
12.8 MHz generation, which is also used as main reference frequency for dual PLL

synthesizer. It features a voltage-controlled TCXO managed by a PLL, clocked by 10 MHz

synchronizing signal incoming from the DM module. Both synthesizers provide lock detector
outputs then sent to the digital section, as LOCK/UNLOCK synthesizer failure alarms. 1st
and 2nd Local Oscillators are then amplified by driver circuits up to +17 dBm (this level being
required for correct mixer operating).
• DC regulators. RF section operations need different analogue voltages. Suitable circuits
derived all these required voltages from the main voltages provided by PS module (+28
VDC, +13.5 VDC, +5 VDC, +3.3 VDC).
The Digital section performs system control, diagnostic and management of the RX module. It
provides all the internal timings generation necessary for handling A/D conversion, as well as
signal processing/sampling. It also receives and handles the output sampled signal incoming
DM module through serial data lines.
Digital section is based on a microprocessor and includes the following component part (see the
functional block diagram in Annex A):
• Microcontroller. It performs full management of RX module functions, together with its

additional circuits providing reference oscillator (10 MHz, slaved to clock from DM module),
power-on, reset and watchdog functions for microcontroller reset. It features a Serial
Communication Interface (SCI), which provides management of data lines. RS485 serial
data line is used for RCB (Radio Control Bus) for supporting the entire module O&M
functionality, while a second line supports RS232 interface for test purposes. Further data
lines are suitable to be used for quad DAC and EEPROM management. Microcontroller also
handles LOCK/UNLOCK signals, incoming from the synthesizer section, and provides
signals for synthesizer programming (serial clock, serial data and strobe). It also manages
signals controlling RF section functions (e.g. channel spacing selection, muting, etc.), as well
as drivers that control LED indicators hosted on the module front panel.
• FLASH, EEPROM and SRAM memory. Three types of memories are used into this board.
Flash memory bank is used to host the software application program and it is interfaced to
microcontroller by 16-bit data and address buses. EEPROM memory bank, provided with a
serial peripheral interface, is used for permanent storage of calibration data. SRAM memory
bank is used to store temporary variables and data. It is interfaced to microcontroller by 16-
bit data and address buses.
• CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device). It is a multi-purpose unit operating in
conjunction with microprocessor. It has a firmware that makes it able to manage the A/D
data. CPLD unit hosts a "timing generation block" that is realized by programmable logic
device. Timings for data acquisition and for data output are generated starting from the
external master clock (8.736 MHz) incoming from DM module. The output signals from A/D
converters (V_AGC, I/Q_DAV) are decimated and then serialized in order to obtain the I/Q
demodulated signals. Bit and frame clocks from timing generation unit are used for
transmission on serial lines. For V_AGC data incoming from AGC A/D converter and used
for monitoring the AGC voltage, no decimation process is needed. The CPLD is also able to
manage other elementary signals. Other important CPLD function is the management of the
WAKE_UP signal, incoming from RCB bus. It is sent to the microcontroller to force the RX
module exit from sleep mode (“software stand-by mode”).
• RS422 interfaces, for signal interfacing with the DM module through RF-motherboard (e.g. I
and Q data stream).
• RS232 driver for Test Interface Port then routed to RF-motherboard

4.9 EMBEDDED CHANGEOVER FUNCTION

The embedded changeover function allows a couple of equipments, configured in main/standby
mode of operation, to operate as a failure-tolerant system without any other external device.
The system is composed by a pair of identical radio equipments (e.g. two DTR100-4, or two
DT100-4) identified as main and standby unit, and operating on the same frequency. It is able
to guarantee uninterrupted operations even in the case of failure of one of the radio equipment
composing the pair. In addition, it is also possible to extend the redundancy scheme to AF line
connecting radio equipment to operator, by having primary and backup AF line together with line
changeover facility.
Changeover operation is automatic, e.g. each action takes place as result of failure conditions
with no need of operator acknowledgment and/or authorization.
• On the TX path, radio equipment changeover based on detection of equipment alarm state,
or equipment switching OFF.
• On the TX path, radio equipment periodical changeover based on PTT transactions counter,
for uniform aging of the TX section within the main/standby pair.
134
• On the RX path , radio equipment changeover on equipment alarm state, or equipment
switching OFF.
• On the RX path 135, radio equipment changeover based on squelch detection (e.g. only one
of the two receiver sections is detecting an incoming RF carrier).
• AF line changeover between primary and backup lines, based on CM tone detection (call
maintenance tone).
• AF line selection, based on PTT command detection onto one of the two connected lines (if
no CM tone facility is managed).
The system is able to deal with a combination of the above changeover conditions. In example
if an equipment failure (e.g. the main) and an AF line failure (e.g. the primary) take place
simultaneously, the system is still able to give service by connecting the "operating" radio with
the "operating" AF line (e.g. the standby through the backup AF line).
Manual overriding of the changeover process is also possible by proper configuration tools (e.g.
LMT). This may be useful whenever an equipment or an AF line must be temporary disabled
and/or excluded from the changeover scheme (e.g., for setting-up or maintenance purposes).
Following actions are foreseen:
• On the TX path, exclusion of a radio equipment from changeover process.

136
• On the RX path , exclusion of a radio equipment from changeover process.
• Exclusion of an AF line from line changeover process.
• Changeover position forcing in any of the above cases.

4.9.1 Changeover architecture
The DM module manages the entire changeover function; the DM software set up and controls
parameters for radio changeover procedures, supports the necessary monitoring functions of
the coupled equipment, and implements the main/standby procedures. These are separate and
independent for TX and RX sections, and can take place automatically as result of equipment
failure (or for uniform aging of the TX sections, based on PTT counting), or manually in case of
manual changeover request.
DM modules of paired radio equipment are connected via an RS232 serial data line,
continuously exchanging data about their status, and allowing real-time acknowledgement of
the alarm states. Decisional processes are allocated in the equipment configured as main
within the changeover scheme; the main equipment actuates changeover, then communicating
new status to the standby via the dedicated RS232 serial data line. If one of the two radio
equipment is switched OFF, or the RS232 communication is interrupted, the other radio
equipment detects an un-link condition, therefore operating as active equipment and giving
service on both TX and RX section, irrespectively of any other further communication (unless
RS232 communication is restored and un-link condition disappears).
The DM software application also controls an external antenna switch, in accordance to the
changeover status. The following figure shows an example of main/standby system
management.
Figure 4.8 - Main/standby changeover layout
The system composed by the couple of radios in main/standby configuration must be coherently
set-up and configured by local or remote operators, e.g. those parameters that are relevant for
changeover functions must be set according to a correct main/standby configuration.

4.9.2 TX section changeover
On the TX path, the radio changeover function is defined as the transferring of the PTT
assignment from the main to the standby equipment (or vice versa), according to one or more
defined conditions. In example, the TX changeover may take place on equipment failure
detection.
Since both equipment are permanently connected to the AF line, the incoming PTT is
acknowledged by both radio sets through relevant E signalling. According to the changeover
status only one radio is then allowed to transmit; the ACTIVE unit is indicated by the relevant
LED indicator on the front side (see also § 3 - Operation). Once an alarm state is detected by
the DM module, it is immediately communicated to the paired radio set via the RS232 data link,
and the relevant equipment is excluded from the changeover.
In case of equipment switching OFF, the paired unit detects un-link condition on the RS232 data
link, and operate TX changeover becoming ACTIVE.
In addition, the TX changeover also takes place on counting of the PTT transactions. The
purpose of this process is to realize an uniform assignment of the service on the two managed
radio set, in order to have equipment uniform aging. The counting of PTT transactions is
actuated by the DM module of the main equipment, at changeover occurrence the PTT
assignment is communicated to the standby via the RS232 data link. The number of PTT to
activate this periodic changeover can be changed by LMT.
4.9.3 RX section changeover
On the RX path 137, the radio changeover function is actuated according to the number of
connected AF lines.
If the system is provided with only one AF line (e.g primary AF line only), the main equipment is
normally connected to the AF line, while the standby is disconnected. As result, if both the
receive sections detect an incoming RF carrier, the main audio output is routed towards
controlling remote devices (e.g. VCSS, etc). Changeover may occur on following conditions:
• The main equipment is in alarm state. The RX changeover command is immediately

communicated to the standby equipment via the RS232 data link, and the standby audio
output is routed towards controlling remote devices (e.g. VCSS, etc).
• Only the standby equipment detects an incoming RF carrier. This may happen whether
main receiver chain is defective, or if the squelch thresholds are differently set. In this case
the system operate a changeover on the RX section, by choosing the one that has signalled
squelch activity, irrespective of the default assignment. Squelch signalling status is
exchanged through RS232 data link. As result, the standby audio output is routed towards
controlling remote devices (e.g. VCSS, etc).
• The main equipment is switched OFF. The standby detects un-link condition on the RS232
data link, and establish connection to the AF line.
If the system is provided with two AF lines (e.g primary and backup AF lines), the main
equipment is normally connected to the primary AF line, while the standby is is normally
connected to the backup AF line. This layout allows to send to the controlling remote devices
the AF output of both receive sections, e.g. to be then processed by a voting device.

MAN-0426/01

Technical Handbook
Changeover may occur on following conditions:
• Alarm state or switching OFF of one equipment. The remaining one is connected to both
primary and backup AF line.
• Only one equipment detects an incoming RF carrier. This may happen whether a receiver
chain is defective, or if the squelch thresholds are differently set. Squelch signalling status is
exchanged through RS232 data link; the other equipment is connected to both primary and
backup AF lines.
4.9.4 AF line changeover
When two separate AF and signalling lines are available, it is possible to extend the redundancy
scheme and changeover facility also to the connection between equipment and controlling
remote devices (e.g. VCSS, etc).
The AF lines changeover function is defined as the capability to operate continuous monitor of
the quality of AF lines by means of detection of a pilot call maintenance tone (CM Tone, usually
@ 800 Hz). This is generated by the external remote device on the AF TX path, e.g. to be
detected by DM; and is generated by DM module on the AF RX path 138, e.g. to be then detected
by VCSS.
On TX path, the evaluation of the line status is done by measuring the CM Tone level; when the
measured value falls below a preset threshold (e.g. -10 dBm) the line is considered degraded or
un-operating, and changeover on the other line is actuated. This function can be operated only
if the equipment is interfaced with a VCSS, or any other device, capable to generate the CM
Tone.
On RX path, the evaluation of the line status is done at VCSS by measuring the CM Tone level;
when the measured value falls below a preset threshold (e.g. -10 dBm) the line is considered
degraded or un-operating, and changeover on the other line is actuated. This function can be
operated only if the equipment is interfaced with a VCSS, or any other device, capable to
decode the CM Tone.
When no CM Tone facility is operated, the main/standby paired equipment may be anyway
connected to two separate AF lines, thus increasing system reliability. In this case the selection
of the line used for TX path is simply actuated on detection of the incoming PTT signalling, upon
continuous monitoring of the AF lines. In example, if a PTT signalling is detected on primary AF
line only, the AF primary line is selected and physically connected to both main and standby
transmitter sections. This condition is permanent, unless a PTT signalling is detected only on
the backup AF line, and consequently a line changeover is actuated, and the backup line is now
selected for both main and standby transmitter sections.
When no CM Tone facility is operated, on the RX path the equipment can anyway provide AF
line redundancy scheme, once connected to VCSS by two separate AF lines. In this case,
selection of the audio line is actuated by VCSS facility on "best signal" criteria, e.g. by voting
system.

Test interface block, and send them to MNG sub-block.
9 MNG (management). It handles O&M messages coming from any external interface
and from Control Panel module. It also handles signals incoming from GSC sub-block
9 CONFIG. This block is in charge of maintaining configuration data that are stored in a
Flash memory device.
9 VT100. This block allows the parameters storage and setting, according to system
configuration.
9 STATUS. This block has the task to maintain the current status, the Power Supply
status and the status of any internal module connected to the DM through the RCB. It
generates alarm signals when the equipment transit in fault state or in OFF Line state.
9 RMI. This block allows handling the HMI interface by communication with the MNG
main block.
9 RCB_CMD block. It allows the Management block to communicate with the internal
139
module connected to the DM (TX, RX ) through the RCB bus. It is composed of two
sub-units:
9 CMD (Charge-Modulation Device). This block manages the command protocols and
timing requirements related to the internal modules. Different blocks related on the
equipment modules compose CMD unit. These blocks periodically verifies, with a
status polling message, whether the application running on the corresponding board is
working correctly, and informs the STATUS sub-block of an eventual fault condition.
9 RCB (Radio Control Bus). It manages the communication between the internal modules
and the DM module on the Radio Control Bus. It periodically verifies, by a polling
schema, whether the internal modules are correctly operating on the RCB and
eventually informs the STATUS sub-block of the wrong condition.
• HMI I/F block. This block handles the HMI interface and implements the user menu.
• External diagnostic block. This block is composed of a serial Driver block (RS485 driver)
that handles the physical and data link layer of the communication with the external RS485,
and of the O&M protocol (RS485 mngt.).
• Test interface block. This block is composed of a driver block that handles the physical layer
of the communication with the external RS232, and of a Test Management block. The latter
may receive test messages, configuration setting messages or configuration request
messages from the test driver, which checks their validity and sends them to the GSC
sub-block.
• Line I/F block. This block is present when the equipment is operating in AM mode and the
composing processes are running on the DM module. This block handles the serial
communication and signalling to and from the Line I/F. The Management block issue
requests to this block in order to set new configuration or operating parameters to the Line

5. MAINTENANCE
This section provides the necessary information to carry out preventive maintenance (e.g. all the
operations necessary to maintain the equipment in the best operating condition) and also
provides troubleshooting procedures (e.g. to identify failures and restore equipment efficiency).
WARNING Maintenance and troubleshooting are intended to be carried out by

qualified technical personnel only.
5.1 DT100-4 VARIANT

The maintenance/troubleshooting guidelines specified in the following chapters are mainly
related to the DTR100-4 version of the equipment, but also apply to the DT100-4 unit.
Therefore, each chapter and/or indication which are not targeted to a specific equipment must
be intended as general application.
When a maintenance/troubleshooting task does not apply to the DT100-4, it is followed by the
indication "DTR100-4 only".
5.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The operator may carry out all preventive actions in order to maintain the equipment.
Operations are limited to visual inspections, cleaning and replacement of consumable parts of
the equipment.
In addition, preventive maintenance also includes some simple instrumental procedures to
check the equipment status and performance.
5.2.1 Tasks
Following table lists tasks to be carried out periodically for both DTR100-4 and DT100-4.
Table 5.1 - Periodic maintenance basic operations

5.2.3 Procedures
The following chapters detail the preventive maintenance procedures to be carried out on the
equipment.
Before starting, the operator must check for the availability of the tools listed in related table.
5.2.3.1 Equipment cleaning
Cleaning operations of the equipment must be carried out even if the equipment is installed in
an air-conditioned environment. It is recommended the use of cotton gloves to protect metal
surfaces from skin oils. Subrack cleaning should be done using a clean dry cloth or a brush.
Every traces of dust on the inside must be removed. In case of grease or dirt on the connector
pins, use a brush dampened with specific solvent. Do not use solvents to clean painted or
anodized part and the display.
5.2.3.2 External Connectors inspection
External connector must be controlled; loose connectors (especially RF connectors) may

introduce malfunction and/or mismatching. It is important to check the status of fuses; they
should be replaced in case of contact oxidation.
5.2.3.3 Cooling Fan operation check
Cooling fan operation should be checked every 6 months. Any mechanical noise from the fan,
and lack of airflow strength are failure clues. If the malfunction is due to accumulated dust or
dirt, clean it; otherwise, the fan must be replaced immediately, as detailed in the related chapter.
It is important to keep clean the front panel air inlet, to avoid the lack of airflow strength, and to
verify that the internal heatsink is not obstructed. This operation should be done anyway
immediately after installation (internal shipment wrapping or shock absorbing wastes, small
pieces of paper, polystyrene, etc).
5.2.3.4 Equipment Status check
Equipment status should be checked weekly by browsing the control panel display and verifying
that no alarm is present. In case of alarm occurrence, please refer to troubleshooting
indications within this section.

5.2.3.5 Reference oscillator monitoring
This monitoring must be done with the equipment ON. The front side test port has a monitoring
facility for the internal 10 MHz reference oscillator that has a rated 1 ppm accuracy, and should
be monitored yearly. A 5 ppm accuracy is required.
On the TEST port, a TTL-level 500 kHz square-wave signal is available, obtained by dividing the
internal reference 140. As specified, the counter used for the test must have an internal time
base stability better than 0.1 ppm (1 x 10-7); it is recommended to use a counter provided with
internal high-stability oven, or slaved to external reference (e.g GPS).
It is necessary to wire a cabling having on the equipment side a Mini-DIN 8-pin male, and
having on the frequency counter side the relevant termination (e.g. BNC coaxial). Cabling
should be realized preferably with RF-coaxial cable. The pin 3 of the TEST port must be
connected to the central conductor of coaxial, while pins 1, 4 or 6 (corresponding to GND) must
be connected to the shield.
Once realized the cable connect the cabling to the TEST port and to the counter input port. The
Frequency counter must display the 500 kHz signal current frequency.
If the frequency reference is less accurate than 5 ppm wrt the 500 kHz signal the TCXO value
must be set. The TXCO adjustment must be done only by SELEX Communications staff and
with specific software tool.
The next figure shows a digital-scope screenshot of the TTL-level 500 kHz square-wave signal
at the TEST port.
Note that this screenshot is given only as a reference, since digital scope usually has not the
required measurement accuracy.
Figure 5-1 - Screenshot of TTL-level 500 kHz test signal
WARNING A counter having an internal time base stability better than 0.1 ppm (1 x
10-7) is required for this adjustment. The use of any other instrument
having lower accuracy figure may result in equipment misalignment.
140
The frequency accuracy can be monitored and adjusted even by checking the effective frequency precision of the
radiated carrier, e.g. by connecting a radio test set on the transmitter RF output. Nevertheless, this procedure is not
recommended, since it requires the disconnection of the equipment from the radiating system, thus causing system
service interruption.

• Dust. It is important to take all the necessary cares to avoid dust presence inside the
surrounding environment. Sites located close to excessive airborne dust clouds (e.g. due to
cement, coal, etc) require additional cares in order to avoid contamination of the cooling
system and increased maintenance.
• Rodents. Especially whenever false (floating) floor is present, rodents may attempt to cabling
safety.
• Acids or other corrosive agents. Especially whenever UPS system provided with
rechargeable acid-type batteries are present inside the equipment room, acid or corrosive
volatile substances may attempt to equipment integrity.
• Saline environments. Saline environments may result dangerous for equipment integrity,
with special reference to cabling and connections. Installation on coastal sites should not be
face directly prevailing sea winds or sprays, e.g. caused by windows opening.
7.3.2 Mechanical
The equipment is designed to match 19" rack-standard cabinets, and require a useful cabinet
depth of more than 400 mm. In addition, space for power, signal and data cabling arrangement
should be taken in account on the rear side of the equipment. The cabinet must be accessible
from rear side (e.g. provided with rear door), to allow access to controls for setting-up
maintenance.

7.3.3 Power and grounding
Concerning power and grounding safety aspects, the installation must be realized in compliance
with national applied regulation and standard. The equipment installation category is II in
accordance with IEC664, this recommendation is also applied to the backup DC power supply
input.
It is important to note that the equipment is provided with a mechanical grounding point that
must be connected with the equipment room grounding bar via a dedicated cable with
resistance lower than 0.1 ohm, according to EN 60950. An AWG 10 (or 5 mm2) copper
conductor is recommended.
7.3.4 Supply lines protections
Concerning AC main supply line, it is important to note that a magneto-thermal and differential
circuit breaker must be installed for protection, allowing for both phases breaking (live and
neutral).
Breaker must have 5A/250V nominal current and voltage figures, and breaking intervention
must be in the range 15 to 25 A. Differential intervention threshold must be 20 mA.
If the equipment is powered through a power switchboard, the breaker may be conveniently
arranged within the switchboard, also providing selective ON/OFF switching.
In any case the protection device/system must be in full respect of requirements stated by
national applied regulation and standard.
and DC sources, even when front side switches are in OFF position. PS
module should be removed from the equipment only once that the
external breaker has been switched OFF, or external DC supply has been
disconnected.
Backup DC supply line does not require mandatory external protection, in any case the use of
an external 25A fast-acting fuse on the positive pole may be useful for further protection on the
DC distribution system, e.g. against accidental shorting.
DC rated power consumption is max. 250 W. According to the minimum DC operating voltage,
cabling must be sized to handle max. 12.0 A current. Therefore a pair of AWG 12 (or 3 mm2)
cables should be used; it is recommended to use a bigger size (e.g. 4 mm2) when length
exceeds 15 meters, to not introduce significant voltage drop. Cables must be terminated at the
equipment end with specific crimped-plug terminals.
If the equipment is DC-powered by external battery pack, the use of an external 25A fast-acting
fuse on the positive pole, together with a circuit switching breaker, is mandatory, in order to
allow safe battery replacing and maintenance without disconnecting cabling. The battery should
possibly be placed in a different environment than the equipment; this environment must be
aerated, and battery poles must be protected wrt accidental contacts.
WARNING In no case, any of the equipment protecting fuses must be replaced with
fuses of different type, nominal figures and/or different operating
characteristics.

7.3.5 RF lines protections
The equipment must be connected to an external radiating system, which is usually located onto
a tower or mast structure. Tower or mast must be grounded in accordance with national
regulations in effect. Concerning the indoor/outdoor arrangement of the RF cabling, and
recommendation for proper antenna and/or feeder installation, refer to respective handbooks
and installation sheets.
A specific anti-lightning system should be installed on the tower or mast structure, unless
protection is provided by an already existing system. Although most of the market-available
antennas are grounded design (static build-up prevention), further anti-lightning protection is
strongly recommended. This should be based on an anti-lightning system providing protection
onto radiating tower or mast structure, realized in accordance to IEC 61024-1, IEC 61024-1-1
and IEC 61024-1-2, and should be connected to a separate grounding rod.
It is also possible to increase safety degree with surge protection on coaxial transmission lines,
such as gas-tube surge-arresting devices located immediately before the building entry.
WARNING Any coaxial surge-protection device connected to the RF output of the

equipment, must be properly sized to handle the maximum peak power
(e.g. 200W PEP).
7.3.6 AF and data lines protections
Concerning AF and data lines protection, it is important to note that the TELCO port, carrying
audio frequency lines and signalling, is compliant with EN 60950-1:2001. It therefore does not
require additional protection for common and differential surges.
Other data lines that must be routed outdoor, outside the buildings, must be protected in
accordance to EN 60950-1:2001 (section 6.2.2.1).
The protection circuit shall have the following characteristics and layout:
primary protection
gas discharge suppressor
9 DC spark-over voltage: 230V
9 Impulse discharge current (10/350 us): 5 kA
9 Capacitance @1MHz: < 1.5 pF

9 Capacitance @1MHz < 2 nF
Such kinds of protection are generally also available in for terminal block version.
These protections are not required if the cablings are not routed outdoor.
7.3.7 Ancillary devices requirements
Concerning ancillaries such as filtering devices (cavity filters, multicouplers, etc), or antennas, or
external controller units, it is strongly recommended to use only SELEX Communications
approved products.
In several types of installation, it may be necessary to use external existing devices such as
VCSS, radiating system, modems, UPS, microwave radio link, etc. Please note that these
devices must respect relevant national regulations in effect, concerning their performance,
safety degree, and quality and type of installation, and any other aspect that can be subjected to
national rules.
WARNING Under no circumstances SELEX Communications may result responsible

for any personnel injury or property damage due to the interfacing of the
equipment with devices not satisfying national regulations in effect.

7.6.1.1 TELCO connectors
The use of the TELCO connectors may change in accordance to the equipment configuration,
and to the system architecture. Beside the main/standby scheme for changeover purposes,
main options as following.
• In-band tone signalling, when used, allows for carrying PTT and squelches on AF TX and
AF RX balanced lines respectively, therefore in this configuration E and M connections are
not required.
• Phantom interface signalling, when used, the E&M are carried in common mode on the
audio couple of wires and ground. The selection of Phantom / E&M is performed by setting
of mechanical switches.
These are four 8-pin RJ45 keyed sockets. They are used to connect the AF input/output lines
(e.g. towards VCSS), together with PTT and squelch signalling.
A pair is dedicated to the primary (P) AF line, a second pair to the backup (B) AF line. Beside
the DIR connector suitable for the connection to the line, both AF lines feature an auxiliary
connector (SWD –switched) mirroring the DIR connector pins.
The mirrored ports may be used to extend the line connection towards two radio sets; this
allows for a “main/standby” and "primary/backup" changeover configuration where a pair of
radios, on the same operating frequency, may be connected to a couple of 4W E&M lines.

7.6.6 Radio frequency cabling hints
The equipment must be connected to the radiating system (or filtering device) by means of 50-
ohm-coaxial RF cabling. Use of low-loss type is highly recommended to minimise global
insertion loss, also depending on cabling length.
Since RF feeders are usually realised by means of rigid high-section cables (e.g. 1/2" or 7/8"
coaxial), it is recommended to use a short flexible RF patch to connect the feeder to the relevant
RF port on the equipment. The flexible RF patch also allows for easy routing within the rack,
nevertheless it must be kept reasonably short in order to not introduce excessive loss.
If connecting radiating system to the switch common port, or if connecting to the TX direct
output, cabling must be terminated on equipment end with N-male connector.
If connecting radiating system to the RX input, cabling must be terminated on equipment end
with SMA-male connector.
In any case, use of connecting adaptors (e.g. BNC to N, or TNC to N) must be avoided.

7.7 SIGNAL AND DATA CONNECTION LAYOUTS

Usually, in AM applications, the equipment is operated by a VCSS (locally or remotely located),
or in alternative from the remote controller DRC100.
According to system architecture and equipment configuration, various types of connection
layouts may be arranged. Different layouts are due to:
• Number of equipment operating on the same frequency (single equipment, or main/standby)

• Number of AF lines connecting the equipment to VCSS (single line, or primary/backup)
• Signalling interface with VCSS (4W with In-band-tone signalling, or 4W E&M)
• Use of the O&M signalling over the audio path
• Connection to DRC100 remote controller, instead than to VCSS
Next chapters detail examples of several system typologies, together with simplified connection
layouts.
Given example layouts do not detail RF connection, or connection to auxiliary devices that may
be controlled by the equipment, such as external RF switch, etc. Please refer to the pin
functions of the relevant ports within this section.
WARNING In next chapters, given example layouts are common to DTR100-4 and
DT100-4; in case of some functional aspects that may differ from DTR100-
4 to DT100-4, please refer to the comment in the text and/or footnotes.

7.7.1 Single equipment, with In-band tone signalling)
The equipment (DTR100-4 or DT100), provides 4W E&M connection facility by means of

relevant TELCO ports on equipment rear side 154.
Since this card allows for PTT and squelch In-band tone signalling, it is also possible to reduce
the number of connection wires to two pairs (E and M wires no longer used), once that the
equipment has been properly configured. This feature allows for connection to a VCSS that is
provided with 2040 Hz In-band tone signalling capability.
The TELCO port for connection is P (primary AF line). Usually, a cabling from this port is routed
to a MDF located on site, to be then sent to a remote VCSS. The following figure shows the
connection layout.
Figure 7.5 - Single equipment connection layout (with In-band tone)
The above layout does not show any specific connection for receiver muting (e.g. to mute the

main/standby configuration, allowing for embedded changeover.
The following figure shows a system configuration where only primary AF line is used. In this
case the main equipment is directly connected to the MDF (P-DIR port), to be then sent to a
remote VCSS. This connection is also routed to the standby equipment via in inter-equipment
cable on P-SWD ports.
Another inter-equipment between DATA port allows for exchanging real-time changeover
information on the dedicated RS232 serial data line.
The cables labelled with a number identifier are then described in the relevant chapter within
this section.

main/standby configuration, allowing for embedded changeover. The following figure shows a
system configuration where both primary and backup AF lines are used.
In this case the main equipment is directly connected to the primary line on MDF (P-DIR port),
to be then sent to a remote VCSS. This connection is also routed to the standby equipment via
in inter-equipment cable on P-SWD ports.
The standby equipment is directly connected to the backup line on MDF (B-DIR port), to be then
sent to a remote VCSS. This connection is also routed to the main equipment via in inter-
equipment cable on B-SWD ports.
This layout allows both units to be connected to both AF lines, so that it is possible to achieve a
"line-redundancy" layout together with embedded changeover feature.
Another inter-equipment between DATA port allows for exchanging real-time changeover
information on the dedicated RS232 serial data line.
The cables labelled with a number identifier are then described in the relevant chapter within
this section.
Figure 7.7 - Main/standby connection layout (primary and backup lines)
In the DTR100-4 case, this layout also allows for automatic muting of the receiver section of an
equipment, whenever the paired one is in transmission.
Concerning DT100-4 case, the above layout does not show any specific connection for muting
action on the paired DR100V. Please refer to the relevant chapter within this section for details
about muting wiring.

7.7.4 Connection to DRC100 with In-band tone signalling
In-band tone capability on both sides allows for carrying PTT and squelch signalling via 2040 Hz
In-band tones onto AF line.
According to installation solutions, and to the distance between equipment and remote
controller, it may be convenient to route the cabling through suitable MDF (not shown in the
figure).

7.7.8 Cabling for Phantom Interface
With this cabling the E&M signalling are carried in common mode on the audio couple of wires
and ground
Figure 7.12 – Cabling for Phantom Interface
7.7.9 Cabling for muting
When using DT100(s), the muting function on the paired receiver(s) can be achieved by two
different layouts.
• Muting function of the paired receiver(s) via muting command output on the CTRL connector.
This is to be used when the equipment is installed close to the related receiver operating on
the same frequency (e.g within the same rack). The PTT RESP output is based on an
electronic switch; it provides a close contact when the equipment is in transmission state. In
example, if operating together with a DR100V, the muting input may be conveniently
connected to the MUTE IN input of DR100V, located on the CTRL connector.
Figure 7.13 - Connections for muting #1
WARNING This output is not protected according to EN 60950-1, since it is designed

for very short wiring that do not need protections. To connect to this port
a cabling routed from a remote device, it is necessary to fit externally the
necessary EN 60950-1 compliant protection devices.
• Muting function of the paired receiver(s) via PTT command input on the DIR P, DIR B ports.
This is to be used when the equipment is installed far away from the related receiver
operating on the same frequency. In this case it is possible to route the E line carrying PTT
command from VCSS also to receiver(s). The DR100V can manage the PTT signal
incoming from E line to generate the internal muting command to the receiver section. Since
TELCO port is EN 60950-compliant, it is not necessary to fit any external protection device
on the E line.

The Recorder interface shall be active only when either the PTT or the Squelch is active. When
no activity on the channel is detected (neither PTT nor SQ), audio recorder output shall be
muted. The Mute attenuation between active/not active statuses shall be greater than 40dB.
7.7.11 Cabling for MIRM100
Multi-access Infrastructure and Radio Management (MIRM100) is system allowing a remote

operator to exercise control over a single equipment, or more than one.
MIRM100 layout may change according to the system architecture. In any case, the remote
control takes place through the RS485 DIAG port, that must be connected to a front-end device
which has the task to interface radio sets with MIRM100. MIRM100 front-end is a device
providing connection on a RS485 bus, where up to 14 DTR100/DT100-4 or DR100V can be
connected in a multi-drop layout, as following example.

Transmission timeout sets the maximum elapse of time allowed for transmission. At timeout counter expiring,
transmission is shut-down. Short timeout values can affect the equipment service by truncate radiated speech. It is
also possible to set the PTT Timeout OFF by setting the relevant parameter to 0, thus allowing for continuous
transmission operating. This setting can be required for special applications (e.g. VOLMET, etc).

The following chapters detail some testing activities onto ancillary devices that may be
connected to the equipment, within ground station arrangement. In addition, conversion table
for relevant measurement parameters are given.
7.10.1 Testing the radiating system
Although the radiating system VSWR measurement is not a task to be covered within this
handbook, poor VSWR figure may affect the whole radio system operating. It is therefore
recommended to perform return loss test on the whole radiating system to check current VSWR,
before connecting to the equipment. Test should also be periodically repeated, due to outdoor
section performance lowering (environmental agents such as rain and wind, antenna and
connecting hardware aging, etc). Given instructions are suitable to perform a return loss
measurement on a radiating system (antenna and feeder). This can be translated in VSWR
value by means of a conversion table. Admitted return loss is according to the relevant
specification that has been stated for the specific system, please refer to system and/or antenna
technical documentation for details.
The tools and the instruments required for the setting-up are listed in the following table.

WARNING During this test, sweeping RF signal generated by spectrum analyzer

tracking generator is sent to antenna, and therefore radiated. This can
affect the operating of the other communications equipment located in
the surrounding, e.g. receivers.

7.10.2 Testing the filtering system
The RF filtering system is normally composed by one or more band-pass cavity filters located
on the TX and/or RX, or common, antenna path. The task of filtering system is to improve
receiver selectivity, and/or reduce unwanted transmitter side-band emissions and noise.
According to the selected layout, the RF filtering system may also be composed by additional
devices, such as isolators or couplers, that may be suitable to protect the transmitter from inter-
modulation and/or load mismatching, or to arrange multiple RF port layout within a single
radiating system, etc.
Especially if cavity filters are used, it is important to note that these devices should be
accurately tuned on the selected operating frequency before to set-up the DTR100-4.
Activating the DTR100-4 connected to a de-tuned filter may result in high VSWR insurgence (if
located on the TX path), or loss of the receiver function (if located on the RX path).
The cavity filter should be carefully aligned, in order to get the desired selectivity, with the
minimum possible VSWR and insertion loss figure. Alignment procedures given together with
the filtering devices should be followed.
It is important to note that the filtering system (together with isolators, couplers or splitters, if
present in the layout), still improving the system performance by increasing sensitivity and
reducing radiated noise, will anyway affect the performance of the equipment. In example, the
RF power routed to the antenna will be reduced by the total insertion loss due to the effect of
the device located on the RF chain.
