General information1.1 Introduction

The 150W / 250W MF/HF transceiver with integrated DSC and telex is designed for maritime applications involuntary as well as compulsorily fitted vessels. It offers simplex and semi-duplex SSB radiotelephonecommunication in the maritime mobile frequency bands between 1.6 and 30 MHz. The basic version of thetransceiver includes voice, DSC and a dedicated 2187.5 kHz DSC watch receiver, forming an ideal system forMF GMDSS installations.The equipment consists of a compact transceiver control unit, a fully remote controlled transceiver unit andan automatic antenna tuning unit.The microprocessor controlled Antenna Tuning Unit automatically matches the impedance of antennasbetween 8 and 18 metres in length and requires no presetting at the installation. The typical tuning time is1 s. It is designed for outdoor installation and may be located up to 100 metres from the Transceiver Unit.The Transceiver Unit contains all receiver and transmitter circuits. The fully protected solid state 150W / 250Wpower amplifier cooled by natural convection matches a 50 ohm antenna system, but is normally used inconnection with the Antenna Tuning Unit. The DSC/Telex modem contains two demodulators, one connectedto the built-in watch receiver for continuous watch on the DSC distress frequency 2187.5 kHz, the otherconnected to the communication receiver which may be used to keep simultaneous watch on other DSCfrequencies or may be used for telex communication.The transceiver can easily be upgraded to include 6 channel scanning DSC watch receiver, and Telexoperation to comply with MF/HF requirements in sea area A3. The upgrade is done by entering softwarelicense codes.The Control Unit is for operation of radiotelephone as well as DSC and telex functions. Use of the equipmentis simple, logic and straight forward. DSC operation is based on the use of soft keys. Guiding texts are providedand the large display is able to show the contents of a complete call in one screen.For telex operation the Message Terminal is connected to the system through the CAN bus.The equipment is designed for operation from a 24 V battery. With the optional AC Power Supply unit installedthe equipment may be supplied from 115/230 V AC main or emergency supplies with automatic switch-over to24 V DC supply in the absence of AC supply voltage. Also optionally, a battery charger for AC is available in theproduct line.The built-in test facilities and easy-to-replace module design of the equipment simplifies the service concept.

Losses in the earthconnection will result in a decrease in radiated powerwhich means that the range of the transmitter will bereduced. In steel ships a 100 x 0.5 mm copper strap asshort as possible is connected between the earthterminal at the bottom of the Antenna Tuning Unit andtwo or three 1/2" or M12 bolts welded to thesuperstructure. Vessels constructed of non-conductingmaterials must be equipped with a copper earth platehaving a minimum area of 1 square metre mountedbelow the water line. From a copper earth bolt hardsoldered to the earth plate a 100 x 0.5 mm copper strapis run, preferably uninterrupted to the earth terminalat the bottom of the Antenna Tuning Unit.Should it be necessary to break the copper strap, for example to pass through a deck, two or three 1/2" or M12bolts should be used for this feed through. On wooden ships having a superstructure of metal, thissuperstructure should also be effectively connected to the copper strap by using stainless steel bolts andpreferably pieces of stainless steel strips between the metal parts. On fibre glass boats, such as yachts andsailing boats, it may be difficult to install a sufficiently good earth. Short copper straps are bolted toconducting parts on the engine, the keel and other conducting objects. Many copper straps can be glued tothe inner surface of the hull below the water line to produce a large capacitance to the water. It is importantthat the total area of copper is large and that the distance between the copper surface and the water is assmall as possible. The copper straps are connected directly to the ATU.

2.4 Grounding considerationsProper system grounding is one of the most important installation details.Two areas of grounding must be considered:

a) The ground connection between the ATU and earth ground plane.b) The ground connection of the TU and the externally connected equipment.

Each area requires separate considerations even though they are interrelated. Ideally the Control Unit,Transceiver Unit, Antenna Tuning Unit and the antenna ground-plane must have the same RF groundpotential. Unfortunately this situation is seldomly achieved, but interference problems will be reduced alongwith how close to this “ideal” the grounding of the installation is performed.On some installations ground loops will cause problems. A ground loop is caused by more than one groundpath for a given unit. This will introduce circulating RF currents which may cause malfunction of otherequipment onboard the ship as well as a “hot” handset.

Wherepossible always take the ATU to the ground, not the ground to the ATU.In case of a fibreglass boat, the ground-plane may well be at the hull grounding terminal. Then this is wherethe Antenna Tuning Unit should go and this is where the antenna actually starts.

2.5 AntennasTransceiver AntennaTransceiver AntennaTransceiver AntennaTransceiver AntennaTransceiver AntennaThe equipment is used with common transmitting and receiving antenna. The antenna should be erected inthe open, away from conducting object such as derricks etc. which may cause reduction of the radiated power.Insulators should be of the best type having low leakage even when wet. Stays, wires, steel masts etc. shouldbe either effectively earthed or insulated. The antenna should also be kept as far away as possible fromelectrical equipment in order to minimize noise. Electrical installation such as cable braiding (screens) andinstruments in the vicinity of the antenna should be earthed effectively, and the instruments in questionshould be fitted with noise-interference suppression devices, effective in the range 0.1 MHz to 30 MHz to avoidmalfunction of these instruments. The Antenna Tuning Unit will tune on any frequency in the range 1.6 to 27MHz to good whip and/or wire installations of 12 to 18 meters total electrical length.Shorter antennas, electrical length down to 8 meters can be used. Where possible long antennas should beinstalled to maximize the radiated power in the lower frequency bands.

In general a 12 meter antenna installation can be made using an 8 meter whip and 4.5 meter feeder or a 10meter whip and 2.5 meter feeder. In both cases the whip should be mounted on a pole allowing for the feederto be erected at an angle of no less than 60 degrees to create a vertical antenna system. Using horizontalfeeders or feeders mounted at an angle below 45 degrees usually transform the antenna radiation resistanceto a lower value reducing the radiated power. Furthermore, the total antenna system should be kept well awayfrom conductive objects such as the mast. Usually a horizontal distance of more than 4 meters will create goodresults.

If a whip antenna is used this should have an anti-corona ball as a top termination to preventcrackling noise in the receiver.

The antenna is terminated at the insulator at the top of theAntenna Tuning Unit. The insulator must be relieved frommechanical stress by using max. 1 metre flexible wirebetween the insulator and a support. To maximize theradiated power and avoid flash over keep distance tometal parts as long as possible. All wire junctions in theantenna system must be made with cable lugs of correctsize according to the wire gauge. This will prevent badconnections due to corrosion. For further corrosion proofinggrease may be applied to the cable joints.

Electrical installation such as cable braiding and instruments in the vicinity of theantenna should be earthed effectively, and the instruments in question should be fitted with noise-interference suppression devices, effective in the range 0.1 to 30 MHz. The antenna feed-in should be coaxialcable.In case of a passive antenna the feed-in should be as short as possible, especially in the case of shortantennas. The recommended antenna length is 7-30 meters. If a long coax cable is necessary an impedancematching transformer should be inserted at the antenna or an active antenna should be used.DC supply voltage for an active antenna is available at the DSC RX antenna connector. The supply voltage is+12V for supply currents up to 20 mA. The short circuit current is limited to 2 mA to allow passive antennaswith matching transformers to be connected directly.

2.9 Telex operationThe GMDSS Radiotelex Terminal is designed in accordance with relevant IMO, ITU and ETSI recommendation/specifications and has been approved for shipboard installations to be operating within the Global MaritimeDistress and Safety System.

It supports world-wide ship-to-ship, shore-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication by utilizing theradiotelex protocols described in ITU- Rec. 625 to overcome the deficiencies of the HF medium. In case of two-way communication an ARQ (Automatic Repetition reQuest) algorithm for error correction is thus used, andwhen sending to more than one station an FEC (Forward Error Correction) algorithm is used.

Technical description3.1 Control Unit

The Control Unit consists of a main module 60-127962 and two sub modules: HMI module 60-127963 and theIntercon module 60-127964.

The main module consists of the digital part, i.e. the microprocessor, program FLASH, SDRAM, TU-CU Buscommunication driver and Ethernet interface.The main module also consists of an analog part, i.e. the voltage regulators, the analog interface circuits andthe analog output drivers (audio and light). The main module supports a build-in speaker and the connectivityof an external 8 ohm speaker. The module also controls the the graphical TFT color display (240x320 dots).

The HMI module contains a minor keyboard interface and encoders for volume and rotary knob.

The Intercon module contains the connectors for external interfaces.

3.2 Transceiver UnitBlock diagram page 3-3, Interconnection diagram page 3-4.

The Transceiver Unit consists of five modules. Three modules located in the base part of the unit: a controland interconnection module, a receiver/exciter signal path module, and a synthesizer and DSC RX moduleincluding master oscillator, and two modules are located in the door part of the unit: a power amplifier moduleincluding filter bank and a switched mode power supply. The main wiring is by ribbon cables with MicroMaTch connectors. RF signals are routed in coaxial cables using Taico, MCX and BNC connectors.

3.3 Control/Intercon module 60-127961The Control/Intercon module performs the digital of the transceiver functions requested by the Control Unitand contains interconnection circuits. The central part is the CPU. The program software is contained in Flash.The processor communicates with the CU via the CAN interface, with auxiliary equipment via an Ethernetinterface and the ATU via a modem circuit. Internal communication is via the TU Bus. At power up the CPUboots the DSP.The transmitter is monitored via the PA Peak, Filter Peak and Filter Average detectors. An adjustable opto-isolated battery detector circuit monitors the battery voltage at the Supply Alarm connector and triggers analarm when outside the set range. The DSP performs DSC modulator and dual DSC demodulator functions.The modulator output is through a transversal filter.The DSP performs the analogue control and audio switching allows loop back test.Audio circuits convert between unbalanced and balanced lines used by the TU-CU Bus.

3.4 Synth. and DSC WR module 60-131332The Synthesiser part includes Master oscillator, dividers, 3.LO PLL and VCO, 2.LO filters and multiplier and1.LO fractional N system as well as both 1. and 2. DSC LO PLL and VCO. The Master oscillator generates a17.8176MHz reference signal which is distributed to the local Synthesizer LO sub-circuits.The appropriate frequencies for the MF/HF transceiver are then generated.

The DSC Watch receiver is built up as a Double Super Heterodyne Receiver using intermediate frequenciesof 30.155 MHz and 455 KHz.After frequency conversion to 455 KHz the signal is fed to 455 KHz IF2 AGC amplifier before led to finaldetection / conversion to 1700 Hz.The Signal is filtered out by 1700 Hz Audio filter and afterwards led to limiting amplifier thus creating the DSCoutput for further processing.The Receiver Signal Path also includes antenna supply and receiver protection circuitry.A RF splitter divides the DSC antenna signal between the Watch Receiver and the Main Receiver, which usesthe signal in telex mode.

Chapter 3: Technical description3-2 98-130890-B

The Synthesizer used for the Watch Receiver consists of the following sub circuits:

• An integer type PLL is used for creating the DSC LO1 signal. The PLL resolution is 2 KHz and after divisionby 4 the final DSC LO1 resolution is 500 Hz. Three separate VCO´ s are used for covering the necessaryfrequency range. A 14.85 MHz TCXO is used for reference for the PLL.

• A doubler Circuit submitted to the 14,85 MHz reference signal is used for DSC LO2 signal thus creating29.70 MHz.

• A 14.6144 MHz TCXO divided by 32 thus creating 456.7 KHz is used for DSC LO3 signal.

3.5 RX/EX signal path module 60-122880The RX signal path includes protection, pre-selection, mixers, IF amplifiers, filter bank, demodulator, squelchand audio. The RX signal path has Automatic Gain Control. The RX signal path performs the handling of thereceived antenna signal and delivers an AF signal, via the Control/Intercon module where the AF signal isconverted from an unbalanced to a balanced signal, to the Control Unit.

The RX signal path also includes a DSC receiver signal path, which uses the MF/HF signal path, until the lastdown conversion. DSC part includes a mixer, base band filter and hard limiter. During DSC reception, the DSCpart overrules the normal MF/HF reception.

The EX signal path includes AF compressor, modulator, filter bank, mixers and EX output amplifiers. The EXsignal path has Automatic Loop Control. The EX signal path generates the modulated RF signal, adjusted tocorrect level - ALC adjusted signal, to the Power Amplifier.

The RX / EX signal path is controlled by the Control/Intercon module and receives its injection signal fromthe Synth./DSC WR module.

3.6 PA and Filters module 60-122881The PA and Filters module includes PA drivers, PA-stage, protection circuits, bias circuits, key circuit and fivelow-pass filters with relays and relay drivers. The PA and Filters receive the modulated RF input signal fromthe RX/EX Signal Path and delivers the amplified and filtered output signal to the TX/RX connector via areceive/transmit relay on the Control/Intercon module.

The low-pass filters remove the unwanted harmonic frequencies from the PA signal. The Filpeak andPAprotec outputs are monitoring signals for the Control/Intercon module. The driver and final power amplifierstages are galvanically isolated on input and output as they are supplied directly from the 24 V DC input. Theselection of low-pass filter is controlled by the Control/Intercon module.

The PA filters cover the frequency ranges:

1.6 - 3.1 MHz

3.1 - 5.0 MHz

5.0 - 9.0 MHz

9.0 - 17.0 MHz

17.0 - 29.7 MHz

The ATU modulematches the impedance of the antenna to 50 ohm in order to gain the best possible SWR. The ATU modulecommunicates tuning process and frequency information with the transceiver unit. The tuning networkconsists of capacitor bank 1, capacitor bank 2, and an inductor bank. With these it is possible to form eitheran L-network or a p-network. The capacitor banks and inductor bank are built up by binary related capacitorsrespectively binary related coils. The setting of capacitance and inductance is accomplished by relays. Acurrent detector at the antenna output terminal is used for measuring the antenna current for display at theControl Unit. To prevent overload of the relays, current detectors are incorporated in the inductor bank andin capacitor bank 2 and information fed back to the transceiver unit to decrease the output power if maximumpermissible current is exceeded. To prevent overheating a temperature sensor is incorporated which atexcessive temperatures commands the transceiver to reduce the output power.

In receive mode an RX-Amplifier included in the Antenna Tuning Unit is utilized, to improve the sensitivityof the system. It is possible to select the sensitivity in the steps OFF and NORMAL from the Control Unit.

3.13 Power control and protection systemThe Transceiver has an automatic power level system, which ensures that optimum power is delivered to theAntenna. The Tune Sequence, which is automatically initiated when keying the transmitter after a frequencychange, makes the Tuning Network of the Antenna Tuning Unit tune to the best obtainable SWR. This isfollowed by an Automatic Level Control (ALC) adjustment according to the available power supply voltage,measuring the output current of the PA Filters (FILPEAK @ 10 Vp at full output), transmitting AM carrier, andsetting the overall gain by the ALC voltage (MGC/ALC). It is now possible to transmit on full output powerunless protection is activated or LOW POWER is selected. The output power is continuously monitored by themicroprocessor, and is automatically adjusted during transmission to provide reliable communication.

Power Amplifier ProtectionPower Amplifier ProtectionPower Amplifier ProtectionPower Amplifier ProtectionPower Amplifier ProtectionThe protection of the power amplifier consists of V+I protection, SWR protection, and thermal protection.When PA PEAK, the output signal of the voltage detector at the output of the power amplifier is exceeding10 V the output power is reduced to a safe level. If the ALC loop is at fault, disconnected or responding tooslow and the PA PEAK is exceeding 10V, the gain will be reduced in the power amplifier, operating as a localand independent PA protection. The thermal protection consist of a temperature sensor on the poweramplifier and an average detector on the Control/Intercon module reducing the output power when the dutycycle of the transmitted signal exceeds 50% for more than 60 seconds. The available power supply voltageis measured in the DC power supply and the information is transferred to the Control/Intercon module. If thesupply voltage is dropping the microprocessor will adjust the output power to keep distortion below the limits.

Antenna Tuning Unit ProtectionAntenna Tuning Unit ProtectionAntenna Tuning Unit ProtectionAntenna Tuning Unit ProtectionAntenna Tuning Unit ProtectionThe ATU is protected by several detectors all monitored by the ATU´s microprocessor, which calculates theSWR, temperature, maximum voltage and current. If these parameters are not below safe operating limitsit requests for lower power.

Service4.1 Software update

Below is a guide to upload software to the MF/HF transceiver unit. The sequence should berepeated for the Control Unit, if this unit should be updated as well.

1. Power off the MF/HF radio.

2. Attach a personal computer to the transceiver. Use crossed LAN cable directly or a straight LAN cableconnected to the optional Moxa switch.

3. Turn on the MF/HF radio and wait for the radio being operational.

4. Open a Mozilla Firefox browser on the PC and enter the IP address of the transceiver unit (can be foundunder menu: Setup -> System Configuration-> IP Address).

5. Select ‘Software UploadSoftware UploadSoftware UploadSoftware UploadSoftware Upload’ in the menu bar on to the left (see fig. down below).

6. Select the browse button and locate the file containing the firmware (can be found on the Thrane & ThraneExtranet).

7. Select the file and press the ‘Upload’ button.

8. Wait for the radio to reboot (this can take up to ten minutes).

WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!Make sure you select the correct file correct file correct file correct file correct file and do not power cycle the radio do not power cycle the radio do not power cycle the radio do not power cycle the radio do not power cycle the radio during softwareupload. Failing to do so can render the radio system useless. Repair can only be doneinternally by Thrane & Thrane.
