  11. Control Section • Local: • Sets and restricts control of J1000 functions that can be controlled remotely, to switches on exciter front panel • Remote: • When selected, all pushbuttons on exciter front panel, except the RF Off switch, are disabled and have no influence • RF On: • Turns on the J1000’s RF power stage and cooling fans • RF Off: • Turns off J1000 RF power stage

  12. Redundant Architecture • A dual exciter system with automatic switchover is available to suit the highest redundancy requirements. Exciters feed two completely independent and redundant signal chains from AC to RF. • Redundant modular design has two complete and independent 500 watt broadband power modules, each with its own high efficiency RF amplifier, modulator, switch mode power supply and integral ventilation fan.

  13. Excellent Sound Quality • Universal switch mode power supplies automatically adjust operating voltage to optimize performance at any power level • A synthesized exciter, using advanced DDS technology produces RF drive at the desired operating frequency ensuring the best possible signal reproduction • Feed an external GPS reference clock signal to the J1000 controller for synchronous operation • Plug-and-play HD Radio and DRM compatibility

  14. J1000 – Operational Features • Switch mode power supply operates from 170 V ac to 270 V ac • Low voltage power supply operates from 83 V ac to 270 V ac (auto-switching) • Low voltage power supply continues providing logic circuits during brownout • RF amplifier is wideband with digital RF drive - never needs tuning

  15. Compact and Light Weight • Compact design allows for quick, cost effective delivery (next business day shipment from factory) andminimal space requirements • The control/exciter section is 19 inches wide and 7 inches high (4U) and is side mounted for convenient access to low level circuitry • The J1000’s power selection mounts in a standard 19” rack and is only 15 ¾ inches high (9U)

  16. Quick Frequency Tuning • Simple change to any frequency between 531 kHz and 1,610 kHz • Requires field upgrade kit, frequency generator and counter, qualified technician and 1 hour • Easy-to-use digital controller. exciter, synthesized with dial up carrier frequency selection • RF filter only needs minimum component changes to tune to new frequency band

  26. Modulation Theory Interphase PDM Drive PWB PDM signals generated for carrier only - no audio applied • PWB produces dual PDM signals phase shifted by 180°: • Half of the modulators in the transmitter work on each PDM signal (1/2). • Reduces the effect of the PDM on the spectrum.

  27. Modulation Theory Interphase PDM Drive PWB PDM signals generated for carrier with audio applied

  28. Switch Mode Power Supply • Power Supply automatically selects modulator operating voltage for specific output power • Output voltages are 150 Vdc, 250 Vdc and 350 Vdc • Designed to switch when duty cycle is nominally 45%

  29. RF Power Assembly Modulator Assembly

  30. Exciter/Control Interphase PDM Drive PWB Dump adjustment used to optimize transmitter operation during high trough modulation. Gain used to ensure output from each exciter is equal.

  31. Exciter/Control Remote Interface PWB • The Audio Chopper is activated to prevent the low frequency audio (with high modulation) from causing undo stress on the RF Amplifiers. • This is done by chopping part of the audio’s positive waveform. TP3 - 20 Hz audio at 95 % modulation depth with 60 kW carrier.

  32. Remote Interface • Audio Chopper Circuit: • Limits the positive amplitude/duration of audio signal • Monitors the RF output signal • FET Q3 turns to clamp offending signal to ground

  33. Digital Performance • Plug-and-Play Digital Compatibility • Fully compatible with HD Radio and DRM • Nautel Interphase Pulse Duration Modulator employs • linear extended band filter • Maintains envelope bandwidth of 40 kHz • Special circuit optimizes IPM and ensures minimal phase error to provide superior signal-to-noise ratio
