The schematic block diagrams of Chapter 9 show all thefunctions that the boards hardware could potentially support,while the related functional description refers only to thefunctions implemented in the present customised configuration.
3.2Functional DescriptionThe 25 KW X-BAND/D TRANSCEIVER functional block diagram is shown inChapter 9, Figure 9.1.9 (with RTM CONT Board) or Figure 9.1.10 (with RTMCONT B Board).
Each block diagram represents a functional area which is described in detail inthe following functions of the present chapter (paragraphs 3.3 through 3.6). Theblocks indicated by dotted lines represent circuits assembled on the chassis ofthe unit.
Basically, the unit performs the following functions:
it generates the power supply voltages required for its ownfunctioning
it generates the R.F. pulses which will be radiated by theAntenna; the pulses, in X-band wave length (9375 30 MHz)and with 25 KW peak nominal power, can be selected
among the following
PULSE TYPE DURATION PRF
SHORT PULSE nominal 60 ns 3000 Hz
MEDIUM PULSE nominal 250 ns 1500 Hz
LONG PULSE nominal 800 ns 750 Hz
it receives the echoes reflected from targets and it convertsand amplifies them
it monitors the unit correct operations

The Magnetron output R.F. signal is sent to the Antenna via the Circulator andthe waveguide path.
The second main function carried out by the unit is to convert, the receiving R.F.
energy, reflected from targets, into intermediate frequency, (I.F.) and to amplifyit. This is provided by the R.F. HEAD block mainly consisting of:
Limiter
Integrated Low Noise Front End composed of:
Image Rejection Filter
L.N.A.
Mixer
L.O.
IF LOG. Amplifier
The echo signal received by the Antenna arrives, through the Limiter and the
Low Noise Amplifier, to
the Mixer where it is mixed with the signal forwarded by the Local Oscillator.The resulting beat is the 50 MHz IF signal which is forwarded to the IF LOG.AMPLIFIER. The Limiter is used to avoid an output level above a scheduledvalue; the Limiter output is a constant value and a higher output would causesa short-circuit. The Low Noise Amplifier and the Image Rejection Filter is usedto amplify suitably the echo signal in order to improve the noise figure of the
receiver. The Local Oscillator is integrated directly into the L.N.F.E. It can betuned up to the Magnetron transmission frequency trough the VCO voltagelevel. The IF LOG. AMPLIFIER dynamics is of the logarithmic type, with nominalcentral frequency of 50 MHz; the amplified signal is then detected and sent outfrom the unit, (VIDEO signal), as described in the following paragraph.

POWER MOS Board, inside a mechanical structure in orderto prevent radiation
RTM CONT or RTM CONT B Board, sideways mechanicalstructure containing the Power MOS Board
NIFB Log Amplifier
3.3.1 POWER MOS Board
Basically the POWER MOS Board performs the following main functions:
High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS) generation
High Voltage Pulses generation for Magnetron
+15V ISO and 120 V generation
3.3.1.1 High Voltage Power Supply (H.V.P.S.) Generator
Circuit
The purpose H.V.P.S. Generator Circuit (Chapter 9, Figure 9.1.11) is to
generate the high voltage (700 V) necessary to the Magnetron for thegeneration of the transmission pulse.
The H.V.P.S. starts functioning when the signal, output of the COMPARATOR,is active; the signal is active when:
the signal HVON, from the MICROPROCESSOR of RTMCONT Board or RTM CONT B Board, is available; this signalis used mainly at the switching on when the RTM is not
ready to operate because the Magnetron requires threeminutes to warm-up
the signal HVSTOP, which disables the circuit functioningwhen the a.c. voltage is absent

Board
HVON from MICROPROCESSOR of RTM CONT or RTMCONT B Board
The 47 Vac is applied to the RECTIFIER through a protecting fuse; theRECTIFIER rectifies the A.C. voltage and provides as output 63 Vdc (VMOD)whose presence is visible when the led DL2 (MAIN VOLTAGE), mounted on theboard, is lit-up.
The VMOD is applied at the primary of the HVPS TRANSFORMER which,
controlled by the MOSFET, generates as output the required high voltage (700V). The MOSFET enabling is controlled by a circuit which, also protects theMOSFET itself.
The circuit is composed of the blocks COMPARATOR, POTENTIOMETER andFLYBACK CONTROLLER. When the COMPARATOR recognises that theoutput voltage is present, it enables the FLYBACK CONTROLLER whichreceives as input the output voltage adjusted by the POTENTIOMETER
according to the pulse length (signals LPA, MPA and SPA).In this , it is possible to control the Magnetron output power.
3.3.1.2 Pulse Circuit Generator
The function of the Pulse Circuit Generator (Chapter 9, Figure 9.1.12) is togenerate the necessary high voltage supplying the Magnetron, in accordancewith the previous selections.
The Input Pushing Trigger is TRPUSH and the input Pulling Trigger is TRPULL;both from RTM CONT Board or RTM CONT B Board. To the Pulse CircuitGenerator is applied also the 700 V from the HVPS Generator Circuit.
To one terminal of the primary windings of the PULSE TRANSFORMER isapplied the 700 V whilst the second terminal is connected to the MOSFET
(push and pull).The pulse is generated in accordance with TRPULL and will be pushedaccording with TRPUSH; in fact there is current only when the Transformer isgrounded with the TRPULL. Every time there is 700 V on the primary, there is,as well, -8000 V on the secondary windings of the PULSE TRANSFORMER. In
