THEORY OF OPERATION
2.1
Amplifier Operation
A power control
circuit
monitors the RF output power of
amplifier
U4 and keeps the power
constant. The output power from the high power
amplifier
will
change as the
unregulated
+13.8
Vdc supply
varies.
Note that the frequency band does not change how the
amplifier
operates;
it only
changes a few
component
values
in the RF
circuitry.
Power for the
VT-3/150
Amplifier
is
provided
from the MT-3
Transmitter
Board. The
+13.8
Vdc
supply (if required) is
continuously
connected
to the
amplifier;
whereas,
the
+9.5
Vdc supply is
always switched
by the
transmitter's
PTT
circuitry.
The
VT-3/150
Amplifier
will
not use any power
from the
+13.8
Vdc supply
until
the
amplifier's
+9.5
Vdc line is
switched
on and an RF input
signal is present. The synthesizer or crystal control module controls the
+9.5
Vdc to the
amplifier's
circuitry;
switching
it on by grounding the
amplifier's
input
enable
line. The synthesizer or crystal
control module
will
ground the input
enable
line only when the RF signal from the synthesizer or
crystal control module is phase locked. This
prevents
unwanted
spurious emissions during
transmitter
start-up. A
typical
start-up sequence is shown
below:
1) the
transmitter
is keyed on
(+13.8
Vdc is
always
present)
2)
+9.5
Vdc is
switched
on by the PTT
circuitr
y and the synthesizer
or crystal control module PTT line is pulled low
3) an RF signal is output to the
amplifier
4) the
amplifier's
input
enable
line is
activated
5) the
amplifier
outputs RF power
2.2
Power Requirements
Typical
current
requirement
s for the
VT-3/150
Amplifier
at
different
power
levels
are
given
in the
Table
2-3
below.
The current drawn from the
+9.5
Vdc supply should
never
exceed
1.2 Amps and
the current drawn from the
+13.8
Vdc supply should
never
exceed
1.5 Amps.
