Foreword

Foreword
About This Manual
Volume 2 of the Enhanced Base Transceiver System (EBTS) manual, Base Radios,
provides the experienced service technician with an overview of the EBTS
operation and functions, and contains information regarding the 800 MHz,
900 MHz, or 1500 MHz base radios.
The EBTS System has three major components:

integrated Site Controller (iSC)

Base Radios (BRs)

RF Distribution System (RFDS)

Installation and testing is described in Volume 1, System Installation and Testing,

and RFDS are described in Volume 3, RF Distribution Systems (RFDS). Detailed
information about the iSC is contained in the iSC Supplement Manual,
68P81098E05.
The information in this manual is current as of the printing date. If changes to
this manual occur after the printing date, they will be documented and issued as
Schaumburg Manual Revisions (SMRs).

Target Audience
The target audience of this document includes eld service technicians
responsible for installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting the EBTS.
In keeping with Motorolas eld replaceable unit (FRU) philosophy, this manual
provides sufcient functional information to the FRU level. Please refer to the
appropriate section of this manual for removal and replacement instructions.

Foreword

Maintenance Philosophy
The EBTS has been designed using a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) maintenance
concept. To minimize system down time, faulty FRUs may be quickly and easily
replaced with replacement FRUs. This helps to restore normal system operation
quickly.
Due to the high percentage of surface mount components and multi-layer circuit
boards, eld repair is discouraged. Faulty or suspectFRUs should be returned to
the Motorola Customer Support Center for further troubleshooting and repair.
Each FRU has a bar code label attached to its front panel. This label identies a
sequential serial number for the FRU. Log this number whenever contacting the
Motorola Customer Support Center. For complete information on ordering
replacement FRUs, or instructions on how to return faulty FRUs for repair,
contact:

1500 MHz MC1 Base Radio Controller TLN3425
Overview
The Base Radio Controller (BRC) provides signal processing and operational
control for other Base Radio modules. Figure 2-1 shows a top view of the BRC
with the cover removed. The BRC module consists of two printed circuit boards
(BRC board and LED/display board), a slide-in housing, and associated
hardware.
The BRC memory contains the operating software and codeplug. The software
denes operating parameters for the BR, such as output power and operating
frequency.
The BRC interconnects to the Base Radio backplane using one 96-pin, DIN
connector and one blindmate, RF connector. Two Torx screws secure the BRC to
the Base Radio chassis.

NOTE
BRC Modules with board level kit number CLN6989
require System Software Release version SR 3.3 or
higher. Using these modules with System Software
versions older than 3.3 causes a PENDULUM lock
error. The Base Radio will not function.

Two BRC modules serve as the main controller for the 1500 MHz Base Radio. The
standard model is the same module that the 800/900 MHz Base Radio uses.
Model TLN3425 contains additional Digital Signal Processing power. This
additional power supports applications that require a modied error correction
routine (available for specic customers only). Figure 2-2 shows a top view of the
BRC (model TLN3425) with the cover removed.

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radio Controller CLN1469; 1500 MHz MC1 Base Radio Controller TLN3425

Host Microprocessor
The host microprocessor is the the BRs main controller. The host operates at a
clock speed of 16.5 MHz. The Host Glue ASIC provides this clock frequency. The
processor controls Base Radio operation according to station software in
non-volatile memory. Two EPROMs contain the station software. An EEPROM
stores the station codeplug.

Serial Communication Buses

The microprocessor provides a general-purpose SCC2 serial communications bus.
The SCC2 serial communications bus is an asynchronous RS-232 interface. The
the BRC front panel includes a 9-pin, D-type connector. This connector provides a
port where service personnel may connect a service computer. The service
computer allows downloading of application code or diagnostic software. Service
personnel can perform programming and maintenance tasks via Man Machine
Interface (MMI) commands. The interface between the SCC2 port and the front
panel STATUS connector is via EIA-232 Bus Receivers/Drivers.

Address and Data Bus

The microprocessor has a 23-line address bus. The processor uses this bus to
access non-volatile and DRAM memory. The processor also uses the bus to
provide control for other BRC circuitry via memory mapping.
A 16-line data bus transfers data to and from the BRC memory. Such bus transfers
may involve other BRC circuitry, too. Buffers on the data bus allow transfers to
and from non-volatile and DRAM memory.

Host Glue ASIC

The Host Microprocessor controls the operations of the Host Glue ASIC. Table 2-7
describes this ASICs functions.

EBTS System Manual - Vol 2

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radio Controller CLN1469; 1500 MHz MC1 Base Radio Controller TLN3425

Non-Volatile Memory
The Base Radio software resides in two 512K x 8 byte EPROMs. The Host
Microprocessor addresses these EPROMs via 19 of 23 host address bus lines. The
host accesses EPROM data over the 16-line host data bus.
The data that determines the station personality resides in an 8K x 8 byte
codeplug EEPROM. The microprocessor addresses the EEPROM over 15 of 23
host address bus lines. The host accesses EEPROM data over the 16-line data bus.
Stations ship with default data programmed into the codeplug. The BRC must
download eld programming information from network and site controllers. This
data includes operating frequencies and output power level. The station permits
adjustment of many station parameters, but the station does not store
adjustments. Refer to this manuals Software Commands chapter for additional
information.

Volatile Memory
Each BRC contains 2MB of DRAM. The BRC downloads station software code
into DRAM for station use. Since DRAM is volatile memory, it loses data during a
system reset or power failure.
DRAM also provides short-term storage for data generated and required during
normal operation. The BRC performs read and write operations over the Host
Address and Data buses. Read and write operations also involve column and row
select lines. The Host Glue ASIC controls these lines. The Host Glue ASIC also
controls address bus and column row signals. During normal operation, the
address bus and column row signals sequentially refresh DRAM memory
locations.
The BRC also includes two 32K x 8 byte fast Static RAM (SRAM) ICs. The
microprocessor accesses SRAM over the Data Bus and Host Address Bus. Access
requires the entire Data Bus, and 15 of the Host Address Bus 23 lines.

Ethernet Interface
The Ethernet Interface includes a Local Area Network (LAN) Controller. This
LAN Controller is a 32-bit address, 16-bit data LAN coprocessor. The LAN
coprocessor implements the CSMA/CD access method, which supports the IEEE
802.3 10Base2 standard. The LAN coprocessor communicates with the Host
Microprocessor via DRAM. The LAN coprocessor uses 22 of its 32 address lines
for the Ethernet interface.
The LAN coprocessor supports all IEEE 802.3 Medium Access Control, including
the following:

framing

preamble generation

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radios

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radio Controller CLN1469; 1500 MHz MC1 Base Radio Controller TLN3425

The LAN coprocessor receives commands from the CPU by reading a specied
memory block. The LAN Controllers internal FIFOs optimize microprocessor bus
performance.
The LAN coprocessor includes an on-chip, Direct Memory Access (DMA)
controller. The DMA controller automatically transfers data blocks (buffers and
frames) from Ethernet to DRAM. These automatic data transfers relieve the host
CPU of byte transfer overhead.
The Ethernet Serial Interface works with the LAN coprocessor to perform these
major functions:

10 MHz transmit clock generation (obtained by dividing the 20 MHz signal

provided by an on-board crystal)

Manchester encoding and decoding of frames

electrical interface to the Ethernet transceiver

An isolation transformer provides high voltage protection. The transformer also

isolates the Ethernet Serial Interface (ESI) and the transceiver. The pulse
transformer has the following characteristics:

Minimum inductance of 75 H

2000 V isolation between primary and secondary windings

1:1 Pulse Transformer

The Coaxial Transceiver Interface (CTI) is a coaxial cable line driver/receiver for
the Ethernet. CTI provides a 10Base2 connection via a coaxial connector on the
board. This device minimizes the number of external components necessary for
Ethernet operations.
A DC/DC converter provides a constant voltage of -9 Vdc for the CTI. The
converters input source voltage is 5 Vdc.
The CTI performs the following functions:

Receives and transmits data to the Ethernet coaxial connection

Reports any collision that it detects on the coaxial connection

Disables the transmitter when packets are longer than the legal length
(Jabber Timer)

Digital Signal Processors

The BRC includes a Receive Digital Signal Processor (RXDSP) and a Transmit
Digital Signal Processor (TXDSP). These DSPs and related circuitry process
compressed station transmit and receive audio or data. The related circuitry
includes the TDMA Infrastructure Support IC (TISIC) and the TISIC Interface
Circuitry. The DSPs only accepts input and output signals in digitized form.
The inputs are digitized receiver signals. The outputs are digitized voice audio
and data (modulation signals). The output DSP sends these signals to the Exciter.
DSPs communicate with the Microprocessor via an 8-bit host data bus. This bus is
on the Host Processor side. For all DSPs, interrupts drive communication.

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radio Controller CLN1469; 1500 MHz MC1 Base Radio Controller TLN3425

The RXDSP operates from a 40 MHz clock provided by an on-board crystal. The
RXDSP accepts redigitized signal from the receivers. The RXDSP also provides
address and data buses. These buses receive digitized audio from the TISIC.
The DSP program and signal processing algorithms reside in three 32K x 8 SRAM
ICs. The RXDSP accesses this software there. The RXDSP communicates with the
host bus via an 8-bit interface.
The Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) port offers a serial data path to the TXDSP.
The Serial Communications Interface (SCI) port provides a serial control path
from the TXDSP.
The TXDSP operates at a clock speed of 40 MHz, provided by a clock oscillator.
The TXDSP sends the digitized signal to the TISIC. The TSCI then passes the
signal to the Exciter.
The TXDSP contains its own address and data buses. It uses these buses to access
its DSP program and signal processing algorithms in local memory. The TXDSP
memory consists of six 32K x 8 SRAM ICs. The TXDSP communicates with the
host bus via an 8-bit interface.

Error Correction Digital Signal Processor (TLN3425 Only)

The Error Correction Digital Signal Processor (U30) in the Model TLN3425A
operates at a clock speed of 60 MHz. An on-board oscillator (Y100) operates at 10
MHz. Circuitry inside the ECDSP multiplies this frequency to generate the
required clock signal.
Decoding is the main function of the Error Correction Digital Signal Processor
(ECDSP). The ECDSP accepts data from the Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
bus. The ECDSP performs various algorithms on the signal. Then the signal enters
the TXDSP via the SSI bus.
The ECDSP contains its own address and data buses. It uses these buses to access
its DSP program and signal processing algorithms in local memory. Two 32K x 8
SRAM ICs (U27 and U31) comprise the ECDSP memory. The ECDSP
communicates with the host bus via an 8-bit interface.

TISIC
The TISIC controls internal DSP operations. This circuit provides a number of
functions, including the following:

Interfaces with the DSPs via the DSP address and data buses.

Accepts a 16.8 MHz signal and a 1 PPS signal from Station

Reference Circuitry.

Outputs a 2.1 MHz reference signal used by the Exciter and Receivers.

Outputs a 4.8 MHz reference signal used by the Exciter to clock data into the
TRANLIN IC.

Accepts differential data from the Receiver (RX1 through RX3) via
interface circuitry.

Accepts and sends serial data from the Receiver (RX1 through RX3) via the
serial data bus.

Accepts and formats differential data from the TXDSP for transmission to
the Exciter via interface circuitry.

Generates 15 ms and 7.5 ms ticks. These synchronize to the 1 PPS time mark
from the iSC. The system routes these ticks to the TXDSP and RXDSP,
respectively.

Generates the Receive SSI (RXSSI) frame sync interrupt for the RXDSP.

Station Reference Circuitry

The Station Reference Circuitry is a phase-locked loop (PLL). This PLL consists of
a high-stability, Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) and a Phase Locked
Loop IC. The iSCs GPS output connects to the 5 MHz/1 PPS A BNC connector on
the EBTS junction panel.
The PLL compares the reference frequency to the 16.8 MHz VCXO output. The
PLL then generates a DC correction or control voltage. With the control voltage
enable switch closed, the PLLs control voltage adjusts the VCXO frequency. This
adjustment achieves a stability equivalent to that of the external 5 MHz frequency
reference.
The control voltage from the PLL continuously frequency-controls the VXCO. The
VXCO outputs a 16.8 MHz clock signal, and applies the signal to the TISIC.
The TISIC divides the 16.8 MHz signal by eight and outputs a 2.1 MHz signal. A
splitter separates and buffers this signal. Then via the backplane, the output
signal enters the Exciter and Receivers as a 2.1 MHz reference .
The 4.8 MHz reference signal generated by the TISIC enters the Exciter module.
There it clocks data into and out of the TRANLIN IC.

Input Ports
Two general purpose, 16-line input ports provide for various input signals from
the BRC and station circuitry. These inputs connect to the Host Microprocessor.
Input Port P0 -In and Port P1-In each consist of 16 lines. Via the backplane, these
lines carry signals from BRC circuitry and other station modules. The buses
communicate with the buffers to make data available to the Host Microprocessor
via the Host Data Bus. The DIP switch and Station Reference Circuitry are typical
inputs for these ports.

Output Ports
Three general purpose, 16-line output ports provide various control signals from
the Host Microprocessor. Via the backplane, these output ports carry control
signals to the BRC and station circuitry.
Output ports P0-Out through Port P2-Out each consist of 16 lines. These lines
derive from the Host Data Bus via latches.
Typical control signals include front panel LED control signals and SPI peripheral
address select lines.

Remote Station Shutdown

BRC circuitry can send a shutdown pulse to the Base Radio Power Supply. After
receiving this pulse, the power supply cycles BR power. The shutdown affects 5.1
Vdc, 28.6 Vdc and 14.2 Vdc sources. The BRC produces the shutdown pulse by
invoking software control signals. A remote site uses the shutdown function to
perform a hard reset of all BR modules.

The host microprocessor is the main controller for the BR. The processor operates
at a 50-MHz clock speed. The processor controls Base Radio operation according
to station software in memory. Station software resides in FLASH memory. For
normal operation, the system transfers this software to non-volatile memory. An
EEPROM contains the station codeplug.

At BR power-up, the EXBRC LED indicates a major
alarm. This indication continues until BR software
achieves a predetermined state of operation.
Afterward, the software turns off the EXBRC LED.

Serial Communication Buses

The microprocessor provides a general-purpose SMC serial management
controller bus.
The SMC serial communications bus is an asynchronous RS-232 interface with no
hardware handshake capability. The BRC front panel includes a nine-pin, D-type
connector. This connector provides a port where service personnel may connect a
service computer. Service personnel can perform programming and maintenance
tasks via Man-Machine Interface (MMI) commands. The interface between the

SMC port and the front- panel STATUS connector is via EIA-232 Bus Receivers
and Drivers.

Host Processor
The microprocessor incorporates 4k bytes of instruction cache and 4k bytes of
data cache that signicantly enhance processor performance.
The microprocessor has a 32-line address bus. The processor uses this bus to
access non-volatile memory and SDRAM memory. Via memory mapping, the
processor also uses this bus to control other BRC circuitry.
The microprocessor uses its Chip Select capability to decode addresses and assert
an output signal. The eight chip-select signals select non-volatile memory,
SDRAM memory, input ports, output ports, and DSPs.
The Host SPI serves as a general-purpose, serial communications bus. This bus...

Provides communications between the Host Microprocessor and other Base

Radio modules.

Provides condition signals necessary to access SDRAM, FLASH, and DSP.

Provides refresh capability to SDRAM memory.

Accepts interrupt signals from BRC circuits (such as DSPs).

Organizes the interrupts, based on hardware-dened priority ranking.

The Host supports several internal interrupts from its Communications Processor
Module. These interrupts allow efcient use of peripheral interfaces.
The Host supports 10 Mbps Ethernet/IEEE 802.3.
A 32-line data bus transfers data to and from BRC memory and other BRC
circuitry. Buffers on this data bus allow transfers to and from non-volatile and
SDRAM memory.

Non-Volatile Memory
Base Radio software resides in 2M x 32 bytes of FLASH memory. The Host
Microprocessor addresses the FLASH memory with 20 of the host address bus 32
lines. The host accesses FLASH data over the 32-line host data bus. A
host-operated chip-select line provides control signals for these transactions.
The FLASH contains the operating system and application code. The system
stores application code in FLASH for fast recovery from reset conditions.
Application code transfers from network or site controllers may occur in a
background mode. Background mode transfers allow the station to remain
operational during new code upgrades.
The data that determines the station personality resides in a 32K x eight byte
codeplug EEPROM. The microprocessor addresses the EEPROM with 15 of the
host address bus 32 lines. The host accesses EEPROM data with eight of the data
bus 32 lines. A host-operated chip-select line provides control signals for these
transactions.

controllers. This data includes operating frequencies and output power level. The
station permits adjustment of many station parameters, but the station does not
store these adjustments. Refer to the Software Commands chapter for additional
information.

Volatile Memory
Each BRC contains 8MB x 32 bytes of SDRAM. The BRC downloads station
software code into SDRAM for station use. SDRAM also provides short-term
storage for data generated and required during normal operation. SDRAM is
volatile memory. A loss of power or system reset destroys SDRAM data.
The system performs read and write operations over the Host Address and Data
buses. These operations involve column and row select lines under control of the
Host processors DRAM controller. The Host Glue ASICs address bus and
column row signals sequentially refresh SDRAM memory locations.

Ethernet Interface
The Host processors Communications Processor Module (CPM) provides the
Local Area Network (LAN) Controller for the Ethernet Interface. The LAN
function implements the CSMA/CD access method, which supports the IEEE
802.3 10Base2 standard.
The LAN coprocessor supports all IEEE 802.3 Medium Access Control, including
the following:

framing

preamble generation

stripping

source address generation

destination address checking

The PCM LAN receives commands from the CPU.

The Ethernet Serial Interface works directly with the CPM LAN to perform the
following major functions:

10 MHz transmit clock generation (obtained by dividing the 20 MHz signal

provided by on-board crystal)

Manchester encoding/decoding of frames

electrical interface to the Ethernet transceiver

An isolation transformer provides high-voltage protection. The transformer also

isolates the Ethernet Serial Interface (ESI) and the transceiver. The pulse
transformer has the following characteristics:

6 8 P 8 1 0 9 5 E02- D

12/6/2000

Minimum inductance of 75 H

2000 V isolation between primary and secondary windings

The Coaxial Transceiver Interface (CTI) is a coaxial cable line driver and receiver
for the Ethernet. CTI provides a 10Base2 connection via a coaxial connector on the
board. This device minimizes the number of external components necessary for
Ethernet operations.
A DC/DC converter provides a constant voltage of -9 Vdc for the CTI from a
3.3 Vdc source.
The CTI performs the following functions:

Receives and transmits data to the Ethernet coaxial connection

Reports any collision that it detects on the coaxial connection

Disables the transmitter when packets are longer than the legal length
(Jabber Timer)

Digital Signal Processors

The BRC includes two Receive Digital Signal Processors (RXDSPs) and a Transmit
Digital Signal Processor (TXDSP). These DSPs and related circuitry process
compressed station transmit and receive audio or data. The related circuitry
includes the TDMA Infrastructure Support IC (TISIC) and the TISIC Interface
Circuitry. The DSPs only accept input and output signals in digitized form.
The inputs are digitized receiver signals. The outputs are digitized voice audio
and data (modulation signals). These signals pass from the DSP to the Exciter
portion of the EXBRC. DSPs communicate with the Microprocessor via an
eight-bit, host data bus on the host processor side. For all DSPs, interrupts drive
communication with the host.
The RXDSPs operate from an external 16.8 MHz clock, provided by the local
station reference. The RXDSP internal operating clock signal is 150MHz,
produced by an internal Phase-Locked Loop (PLL).
The RXDSPs accept digitized signals from the receivers through Enhanced
Synchronous Serial Interface (ESSI) ports. Each of two ESSI ports on a RXDSP
supports a single carrier (single receiver) digital data input. The DSP circuitry
includes two RXDSPs. These allow processing of up to four carriers (four
receivers).
The RXDSP accesses its DSP program and signal-processing algorithms in 128k
words of internal memory. The RXDSPs communicate with the host bus over an
8-bit interface.
Each RXDSP provides serial communications to its respective receiver module for
receiver control via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The SPI is a
parallel-to-serial conversion circuit, connected to the RXDSP data bus. Each
RXDSP communicates to two receive modules through this interface.
Additionally, a serial control path connects the two RXDSPs and the TXDSP. The
Synchronous Communications Interface (SCI) port facilitates this serial control
path.
For initialization and control purposes, one RXDSP connects to the TISIC device.

800 MHz QUAD Channel Base Radio Controller

The TXDSP operates at an external clock speed of 16.8 MHz, provided by the
EXBRC local station reference. The TXDSP internal operating clock is 150MHz,
produced by an internal Phase Lock Loop (PLL).
The TXDSP sends up to four carriers of digitized signal to the EX11 exciter. The
exciter converts the digital signal to analog. Also at the exciter, a highly stable
clock reclocks the digital data. Reclocking enhances transmit signal integrity. Two
framed and synchronized data streams result. One data stream is I-data, and the
other is the Q-data stream.
The TXDSP contains its own, internal address and data memory. The TXDSP can
store 128k words of DSP program and data memory. An eight-bit interface
handles TXDSP-to-host bus communications.

TISIC
The TISIC controls internal DSP operations. This circuit provides the following
functions:

For initialization and control, interfaces with one RXDSP via the DSP
address and data buses.

Accepts a 16.8 MHz signal from Station Reference Circuitry.

Accepts a 5 MHz signal, modulated with one pulse per second (1 PPS) from
the site reference.

Demodulates the 1 PPS

Outputs a 1 PPS signal and a windowed version of this signal for network
timing alignment.

Outputs a 2.4 MHz reference signal used by the Exciter.l

Generates 15 ms and 7.5 ms ticks. (These ticks synchronize to the 1 PPS time
mark. The system decodes the time mark from the site reference. Then the
system routes the reference to the TXDSP and RXDSPs.)

Station Reference Circuitry

The Station Reference Circuitry is a phase-locked loop (PLL). This PLL consists of
a high-stability, Voltage-Controlled, Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) and a PLL IC. GPS
output from the iSC connects to the 5 MHz/1 PPS BNC connector on the BR
backplane. Wiring at this connector routes signals to EXBRC station reference
circuitry.
The PLL compares the 5 MHz reference frequency to the 16.8 MHz VCXO output.
Then the PLL generates a DC correction voltage. The PLL applies this correction
voltage to the VCO through an analog gate. The analog gate closes when three
conditions coexist: (1) The 5 MHz tests stable. (2) The PLL IC is programmed. (3)
Two PLL oscillator and reference signal output alignments occur.
A loss of the 5 MHz / 1 PPS signal causes the control voltage enable switch to
open. This complex PLL control allows the BR to maintain call-handover
capability during short disconnects (approximately one minute) of the 5 MHz/1
PPS signal. (For example, during 5 MHz/1 PPS cable maintenance work.)
When the gate enables, the control voltage from the PLL can adjust the
high-stability VCXO frequency. The adjustment can achieve a stability nearly
equivalent to that of the external, 5 MHz frequency reference.
The correction voltage from the PLL continuously adjusts the VXCO frequency.
The VXCO outputs a 16.8 MHz clock signal. The circuit applies this clock signal to
the receiver, 48 MHz reference and TISIC.
The receivers use the 16.8MHz as the clock input and synthesizer reference.
The 48 MHz EXBRC synthesizer uses the 16.8 MHz as its synthesizer reference.
The 48 MHz synthesizer output is the clock input for the TXDSP I and Q data
reclock circuitry.
The TISIC divides the 16.8 MHz signal by seven, and outputs a 2.4 MHz signal.
This output signal then becomes the 2.4 MHz reference for the Exciter.

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radios

800 MHz QUAD Channel Base Radio Controller

Input Ports
One general-purpose input register provides for BRC and station circuit input
signals. The register has 16 input ports. The Host Data Bus conveys input register
data to the Host Microprocessor. Typical inputs include 16.8 and 48 MHz Station
Reference Circuitry status outputs and reset status outputs.

Output Ports
Two general-purpose output registers distribute control signals from the Host
Microprocessor to the BRC and station circuitry. Each register has 40 output ports.
Control signal distribution occurs over the backplane. The Host Data Bus drives
the output ports latched outputs. Typical control signals include front-panel LED
signals and SPI peripheral enable and address lines.

Remote Station Shutdown

The BRC contains power supply shutdown circuitry. This circuitry can send a
shutdown pulse to the Base Radio Power Supply. BRC software generates the
shutdown control pulse.
After receiving a shutdown pulse, the power supply turns off BR power. Shut
down power sources include 3.3, 28.6 and 14.2 Vdc sources throughout the BR.
Due to charges retained by BR storage elements, power supply voltages may not
reach zero. The shutdown only assures that the host processor enters a
power-on-reset state.
A remote site uses the shutdown function to perform a hard reset of all BR
modules.

Exciter Overview
The Exciter, together with the Power Amplier (PA), provides the transmitter
functions for the Base Radio. The Exciter module consists of a printed circuit
board, a slide-in housing, and associated hardware.
The Exciter connects to the Base Radio backplane through a 96-pin DIN connector
and two blindmate RF connectors. Two Torx screws on the front of the Exciter
hold it in the chassis.
The Exciter has no controls or indicators. The manuals Base Radio section
supplies transmitter circuitry specications, including Exciter and PA
specications.
Figures 3-1 and 3-2 show the Exciter with the cover removed.

Theory of Operation
Table 3-3 lists and describes basic Exciter circuitry. Figures 3-4 and 3-5 show the
functional block diagram of the Single Carrier Exciter. Figures 3-6 show the
functional block diagram of the QUAD Carrier Exciter.

Address Decoder Circuitry

The address decoder circuitry enables the BRC to use the address bus to control
Exciter circuitry. The BRC can select a specic device on the Exciter via the SPI
bus for control or data communication purposes.
If board select circuitry decodes address lines A2 through A5 as the Exciter
address, the BRC enables the chip select circuitry. The chip select circuitry then
decodes address lines A0 and A1 to generate the chip select signals for the
EEPROM, A/D converter, Tranlin IC, and PLL IC. Once selected, the BRC uses
the SPI bus to send and receive data to and from the device.

Memory Circuitry
The memory circuitry consists of an EEPROM located on the Exciter. The BRC
performs all memory read and write operations via the SPI bus. Information

A/D Converter Circuitry

Analog signals from various areas throughout the Exciter board are fed to the
A/D converter. Upon the BRCs request, these analog signals are converted to a
digital signal and are output to the BRC via the SPI lines. The BRC periodically
monitors and controls all signals.

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radios

800 MHz Exciter TLN3337; 900 MHz Exciter CLN1357; 1500 MHz Exciter TLN3428

The BRC monitors the regulated voltages, the external wattmeter (optional), the
PLL circuit, and other internal signals.

Tranlin IC Circuitry
The Tranlin IC is a main interface between the Exciter and BRC. The Digital Signal
Processors (DSP) of the BRC send Digitized signals (baseband data) to the Exciter
via the DSP data bus. The DSP clock signal from the Receiver clocks these data
signals.
The differential data clock signal also serves as a 4.8 MHz reference signal to the
internal synthesizer circuit of the Tranlin IC. The Tranlin compares the reference
signal with the output of the 237 MHz or 180.6 MHz (900 MHz BR) or 236 MHz
(1500 MHz BR) Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). If the VCO output is out of
phase or differs in frequency, correction pulses arrive at the Oscillator and adjust
the VCO output.
The Tranlin IC up-converts the baseband data received from the BRC to the rst IF
of 118.5 MHz (90.3 MHz for 900 MHz BR). It also down-converts an IF feedback
signal from the Exciter IC to baseband data for summing.
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is used to communicate with the Tranlin
IC. The SPI bus serves as a general purpose bi-directional serial link between the
BRC and other modules of the Base Radio, including the Exciter. The SPI bus is
used to send control and operational data signals to and from the various circuits
of the Exciter.

Exciter IC Circuitry
The Exciter IC interfaces directly with the Tranlin IC to perform up-conversion
from the rst IF to the programmed transmit operating frequency. The rst IF
signal is passed through a band-pass lter before it reaches the Exciter IC.
The Exciter IC also down-converts the RF feedback signal from the PA to its IF
signal. The IF signal is then input to the Tranlin IC for conversion to baseband
data, which computes the Cartesian feedback.

Synthesizer Circuitry
The synthesizer circuitry consists of the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) IC and
associated circuitry. The output of this circuit is combined with the 970 MHz
VCO (1025 MHz for 900 MHz BR, 700 MHz for 1500 MHz BR) to supply a Local
Oscillator (LO) signal to the Exciter IC for the second up-conversion of the
programmed transmit frequency. This signal is also used for the rst
down-conversion of the feedback signal from the PA.
An internal phase detector generates a logic pulse in proportion to the difference
in phase or frequency between the reference frequency and loop pulse signal.
If the reference frequency is faster than the VCO feedback frequency, the PLL IC
outputs an up signal. If the reference frequency is slower than the VCO feedback
frequency, the PLL IC outputs a down signal. These pulses are used as correction
signals and are fed to a charge pump circuit.

800 MHz Exciter TLN3337; 900 MHz Exciter CLN1357; 1500 MHz Exciter TLN3428

The charge pump circuit consists of ve transistors and its associated biasing
components. This circuit generates the correction signal and causes it to move up
or down in response to the phase detector output pulses. The correction signal
passes through the low-pass loop lter to the 970 MHz Voltage Controlled
Oscillator (VCO) circuit (1025 MHz VCO for 900 MHz BR).

970/1025 MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)

The 970 MHz VCO (1025 MHz for 900 MHz BR, 700 MHz for 1500 MHz BR)
generates the second injection frequency for the Exciter IC.
The VCO requires a very low-noise DC supply voltage of +10 Vdc for proper
operation. A Super Filter, which contains an ultra low-pass lter, drives the
oscillator. The Super Filter obtains the required low-noise output voltage for the
oscillator.
The output of the oscillator is tapped and sent to the VCO Feedback Filter. This
feedback signal is supplied to the Synthesizer circuitry for the generation of
correction pulses.
The untapped output of the 970 (or 1025) MHz VCO is sent to the second LO
injection circuitry.

236/237/180.6 MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)

The 237 MHz VCO (180.6 MHz for 900 MHz BR, 236 MHz for 1500 MHz BR)
provides a LO signal to Tranlin IC for the rst up-conversion and for the second
down-conversion of the feedback signal. The synthesizer and divide by 2
circuitry within the Tranlin IC set the rst IF to 118.5 MHz (90.3 MHz for 900 MHz
BR).

Regulator Circuity
This circuit generates three regulated voltages of +5 Vdc, +10 Vdc, and +11.8 Vdc.
All voltages are obtained from the +14.2 Vdc backplane voltage. These voltages
provide power to various ICs and RF devices of the Exciter.

Linear RF Amplifier Stages

This circuitry is used to amplify the RF signal from the Exciter IC to an
appropriate level for input to the PA.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) (1500 MHz only)

The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit controls the output gain of the
transmitter (Exciter and Power Amplier modules) so that constant forward gain
of the RF amplier stages is maintained. This is accomplished through the
comparison of feedback signals from the Power Amplier and the rst amplier
stage of the Exciter.
The output of the differential ampliers is used to adjust the Attenuator and
Image Filter.

The Exciter and the Power Amplier (PA) provide the transmitter functions of the
QUAD Channel Base Radio. The Exciter module consists of a printed circuit
board, a slide in housing, and associated hardware. The BRC shares the printed

A/D Converter Circuitry

Analog signals from various areas throughout the Exciter board enter the
A/D converter (A/DC). The A/DC converts these analog signals to digital form.
Upon request of the BRC, A/DC output signals enter the BRC via SPI lines. The
Controller periodically monitors all signals.
Some of the monitored signals include amplier bias and synthesizer signals.

LNODCT IC Circuitry
The LNODCT IC is a main interface between the Exciter and BRC. The BRCs
Digital Signal Processor (DSP) sends digitized signals (baseband data) to the
Exciter over the DSP data bus.
The differential data clock signal serves as a 4.8 MHz reference signal to the
LNODCT ICs internal synthesizer. The LNODCT compares the reference signal
with the outputs of Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs). The LNODCT might
sense that a VCOs output is out of phase or off-frequency. If so, then the
LNODCT sends correction pulses to the VCO. The pulses adjust VCO output,
thereby matching phase and frequency with the reference.
The LNODCT IC up-converts baseband data from the BRC to the transmit
frequency. The LNODCT IC also down-converts the Transmit signal from the
Power Amplier to baseband data for summing.
The BRC uses the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus to communicate with the
LNODCT IC. The SPI bus serves as a general purpose, bi-directional, serial link
between the BRC and other Base Radio modules, including the Exciter. The SPI
carries control and operational data signals to and from Exciter circuits.

Synthesizer Circuitry
The synthesizer circuit consists of the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) IC and associated
circuitry. This circuits output combines with the 970 MHz VCO signal. The result
is a Local Oscillator (LO) signal for the LNODCT IC. The LNODCT uses this LO
signal to up-convert the programmed transmit frequency. The LNODCT also
uses the LO signal to down-convert the PA feedback signal.
An internal phase detector generates a logic pulse. This pulse is proportional to
the phase or frequency difference between the reference frequency and loop pulse
signal.
If the reference frequency is faster than the VCO feedback frequency, the PLL IC
outputs an up signal. If the reference frequency is slower than the VCO feedback
frequency, the PLL IC outputs a down signal. The synthesizer uses these pulses as
correction signals and feed them to a charge pump circuit.
The charge pump circuit consists of ve transistors and associated biasing
components. This circuit generates the correction signal. The correction signal
moves up or down in response to phase detector output pulses. The correction

signal passes through the low-pass loop lter. The signal then enters the 970 MHz
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) circuit.

970 MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)

The 970 MHz VCO generates the second injection frequency for the LNODCT IC.
For proper operation, the VCO requires a very low-noise, DC supply voltage. An
ultra low-pass lter prepares the necessary low-noise voltage and drives the
oscillator.
The tapped oscillator output signal enters the VCO Feedback Filter. The
Synthesizer circuitry uses this feedback signal in the generation of correction
pulses.
The untapped output signal of the 970 MHz VCO enters the second LO
injection circuit.

90.3 MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)

The synthesizer within the LNODCT IC sets the 90.3 MHz signal. The 90.3 MHz
VCO provides a LO signal to the LNODCT IC. The LNODCT uses this signal in
up-converting and down-converting the feedback signal.

Regulator Circuitry
The voltage regulator generates three regulated voltages: +3 Vdc, +5 Vdc and
+11.7 Vdc. The regulator obtains input voltages from the +3.3 Vdc and +14.2 Vdc
backplane voltages. The regulated voltages power various ICs and RF devices in
the Exciter.

Linear RF Amplifier Stages

The Linear RF Amplier boosts the RF signal from the LNODCT IC. The RF
Amplier outputs an appropriate signal level to drive the PA.

PA Overview
The Power Amplifier (PA), together with the Exciter, provides transmitter functions for
the QUAD Channel Base Radio. The PA accepts the low-level modulated RF signal from
the Exciter and amplifies the signal for transmission via the RF output connector.
The 800 MHz Base Radio can be equipped with either 40 Watt PA, TLF2020 (version
TTF1580) or 70 Watt PA, TLN3335 (version CTF1040). The 40W PA module consists of
five hybrid modules, four pc boards, and a module heatsink/housing assembly. The 70W
PA module consists of eight hybrid modules, four pc boards, and a module heatsink/
housing assembly.
The 900 MHz Base Radio is equipped with 60 Watt PA, CLN1355 (kit no. CLF1300A).
The PA module consists of four hybrid modules, two pc boards, and a module heatsink/
housing assembly.
The 1500 MHz Base Radio is equipped with 40 Watt PA, TLN3426. The PA module
consists of four hybrid modules, two pc boards, and the module heatsink/housing
assembly.
The 800MHz Quad Base Radio is equipped with the Quad PA, CLF1400. The PA module
consists of six hybrid modules, two pc boards, and the module heatsink/housing assembly.
The PA connects to the chassis backplane using a 96-pin DIN connector and three
blindmate RF connectors. Two Torx screws located on the front of the PA hold it in the
chassis.
Specifications of the transmitter circuitry, including the Exciter and PAs, are provided in
Base Radio Overview section. Figure 4-1 shows the 70W, 800 MHz PA. Figure 4-2 shows
the 60W, 900 MHz PA. Figure 4-3 shows the 40W, 1500 MHz PA.

Combiner/Peripheral Module

Combiner Board
(70W, 800 MHz PA and
800MHz Quad only)

Contains three separate Quadrature combiner circuits that respectively

combine the six RF outputs from the LFMs into three signals. These three
signals, in turn, are applied to the RF Combiner/Peripheral Module.

RF Combiner/Peripheral
Module

Contains a combiner circuit that combines the three RF signals from the RF
Interconnect Board (40W PA) or the Combiner Board (70W PA and Quad
PA). It routes the combined RF signal through a circulator and a Low Pass
Filter. The final output signal is routed to the blindmate RF connector (800
MHz)
Contains a Quadrature combiner circuit to combine the RF signal from the
two LFMs. It routes the combined RF signal through a circulator and a Low
Pass Filter. The output signal is routed to the blindmate RF connector (900
MHz and 1500 MHz)
Contains an RF coupler that provides an RF feedback signal to the Exciter
via a blindmate RF connector. Also contains a forward and reverse power
detector for alarm and power monitoring purposes

Fan Assembly

Consists of three fans used to keep the PA within predetermined operating

temperatures

DC/Metering Board(Non-Quad)
The DC/Metering Board provides the interface between the PA and the Base Radio
backplane. The preamplified/modulated RF signal is input directly from the Exciter via
the Base Radio backplane.
The RF input signal is applied to the input of the Linear Driver Module (LDM). The RF
feedback signal is fed back to the Exciter, where it is monitored for errors.
The primary function of the DC/Metering Boards is to monitor proper operation of the PA.
This information is forwarded to the Base Radio Controller (BRC) via the SPI bus. The
alarms diagnostic points monitored by the BRC on the PA include the following:

DC/Metering Board (Quad only)

The DC/Metering Board in the Quad Radio serves the same function as does other radios.
However, its circuitry is modified to be compatible with the Quad Station. As such, the
logic circuitry is 3.3V.
In addition to the functions listed in the non-Quad version, the following metering points
are ported to the SPI bus:

A and B Currents

Fan Sensor

Linear Driver Module

800 MHz
The Linear Driver Module (LDM) amplifies the low-level RF signal from the Exciter.
The LDM consists of a two-stage cascaded amplifier.
The RF input signal applied to the LDM has an average power level of approximately 25
mW. The LDM amplifies this signal to an average output level of approximately 10 Watts.
(8W in Quad) The LDM output is fed to the RF Splitter/DC Distribution Board via an
Interconnect Board.

900 MHz
The Linear Driver Module (LDM) amplifies the low-level RF signal from the Exciter.
The LDM consists of a three-stage cascaded amplifier. This output is fed directly to the
RF Splitter/DC Distribution Board.
The RF input signal applied to the LDM has an average power level of approximately 25
mW. The LDM amplifies this signal to an average output level of approximately 17 Watts.

1500 MHz
The Linear Driver Module (LDM) takes the low level RF signal and amplifies it. The
LDM consists of a four stage cascaded amplifier. The RF input signal has an average
power level of 8 mW. The LDM amplifies the input signal to an average output level of
approximately 16 Watts. This output is fed directly to the RF Splitter/DC Distribution
Board.
The current drain of the Power Amplifiers is monitored by the A/D converter on the DC/
Metering board. A voltage signal representative of the LDM current drain is sent to the
BRC. A Power Amplifier alarm is generated if the signal is outside of either the upper or
lower limits.

Theory of Operation

Interconnect Board (800 MHz and 800MHz Quad only)

The output of the LDM is applied to the Interconnect Board, which provides an RF
connection to the RF Splitter/DC Distribution Board. As a separate function, area on the
Interconnect Board serves as a convenient mounting location for electrolytic capacitors
used for filtering the +28 VDC supply.

RF Splitter/DC Distribution Board

800 MHz
The RF Splitter portion of this board accepts the amplified signal from the LDM (via the
Interconnect Board). The primary function of this circuit is to split the RF signal into
drive signals for the LFMs.
In the 40W PA, this circuit splits the drive signal into three separate paths to be applied to
the three LFMs, where the signals will be amplified further. In the 70W PA and Quad PA,
this circuit splits the drive signal into six separate paths to be applied to the six LFMs,
where the signals will be amplified further.
The DC Distribution portion of this board interfaces directly with the DC/Metering Board
to route DC power to the LFMs.
900 MHz and 1500 MHz
The RF Splitter portion of this board accepts the amplified signal from the LDM. The
primary function of this circuit is to split the RF signal into two separate paths. These two
outputs are fed directly to two separate Linear Final modules where the RF signals will be
amplified further.
The DC Distribution portion of this board interfaces directly with the DC/Metering Board
to route DC power to the LFMs.

Linear Final Modules

800 MHz
The RF Splitter output signals are applied directly into the LFMs for final amplification.
Each LFM contains parallel PAs that amplify the RF signals.
In the 40W PA, the parallel LFMs amplify the input signals to a sum output level of
approximately 48 Watts average power. The amplified signal is then sent directly to the
RF Interconnect Board. In the 70W PA, the parallel LFMs amplify the input signals to a
sum output level of approximately 97 Watts average power. In the Quad PA, the function
is similar to the 70W PA. The amplified signal is then sent directly to the Combiner Board.
900 MHz
The RF signals from the outputs of the RF Splitter are applied directly into the Linear
Final Module (LFM) for final amplification. Each LFM contains dual PAs that amplify
the RF signals to a combined output level of approximately 75 Watts average power. The
amplified signal is then sent directly to the RF Combiner circuit for final distribution.

Base Radios
DC Power Supply Overview
The DC Power Supply provides DC operating voltages to QUAD Channel Base
Radio FRUs. The power supply accepts input voltage sources from 41Vdc to
60Vdc. Input sources may be either positively or negatively grounded.
On initial startup, the supply requires a nominal 43 Vdc. If the voltage drops
below 41 V, the DC Power Supply enters quiescent mode. In quiescent mode, the
power supply outputs no power.
The DC Power Supply is designed for sites with an available DC voltage source.
Output voltages from the DC Power Supply are 28.6 Vdc, 14.2 Vdc and 5.1 Vdc,
with reference to output ground. The supply is rated for 575 Watts of continuous
output power, with up to 113 F (45 C) inlet air. At 140 F (60 C), the 28.6 Vdc
output reduces to 80% of maximum power.
The DC Power Supply consists of the Power Supply and front panel hardware.
The DC Power Supply connects to the chassis backplane through an edgecard
connector. Two Torx screws on the front panel secure the DC power supply to the
chassis.
Figure 5-1 shows the DC Power Supply with the cover removed.

6 AC Power Supply

AC Power Supply Overview

The AC Power Supply provides DC operating voltages for the Base Radio FRUs.
The AC Power Supply accepts an AC input (90 to 280 Vac @ 47 to 63 Hz) to
generate three output voltages: 28.6 Vdc, 14.2 Vdc and 5.1 Vdc with reference to
output ground. The AC Power Supply automatically adjusts to the AC input
ranges and supplies a steady output.
The AC Power Supply contains several switching-type power supply circuits,
power factor correction circuitry, battery charger/revert circuitry, diagnostics and
monitoring circuitry.
The battery charging/revert circuitry charges an external storage battery and
automatically reverts to battery power in case of an AC power failure.
The Power Supply interconnects to the chassis backplane using an edgecard
connector. Two Torx screws on the front panel of the AC Power Supply secure it
in the chassis.
Figure 6-1 shows the front view of the AC Power Supply.

Controls and Indicators

Table 6-1 lists and describes the indicators of the AC Power Supply. The power
ON/OFF switch is used to turn the power supply on and off.

Overview
The 3X Receiver provides the receiver functions for the Base Radio. It consists of a
receiver board, a slide-in housing, and associated hardware. The 3X Receiver
incorporates one to three diversity branches on a single module. Figure 7-1 shows
a top view of the Receiver with the cover removed.

QUAD Channel Receiver (with cover removed)

Definition and Identification

The 3X receiver kit contains three receivers on a single board. This allows a single
module to provide three-branch diversity BR functionality. To identify 3X
receiver boards in the EBTS, use the MMI command get_rx1_kit_no . This
command can be used on all receiver models, and reports the kit number from the
receivers EEPROM. The 3X receiver can also be identied by visual inspection of
the front panel. Because the 3X receiver can only be inserted into the middle

Replacement Compatibility
The 3X Receiver board (CRF6010 or CRF6030) can only be used in receive slot 2
(middle receiver slot) with backplane 0183625X _ _. The backplane connector is
different than the TRF6560 version of the receiver board. This is why there is a
need for a new backplane. The receiver will function only when it is installed in
slot 2. The TRF6560 receiver will not make electrical connection in any slot of the
new backplane. Compatibility between the new and old receiver boards is
summarized in Tables 7-4 and 7-5 for 800 MHz and 900 MHz Base Radios,
respectively.

Diversity Configuration
There is a new software parameter used for diversity purposes with the CLN1283
and CLN1356 3X Receivers. The parameter is the rx_fru_config parameter. The
diversity issues to consider are described in the following paragraph. This
parameter can be accessed through the MMI commands using the Motorola
password. ROMs prior to version R06.06.17 do not support the rx_fru_config
parameter. The ROM version in a base repeater can be checked using the MMI
command ver . If a repeater contains the CRF6010 or CRF6030 receiver, the BRC
board must be populated with a compatible version of ROM. Table 7-6 lists the
ROM compatibilities.

NOTE
When replacing FRUs, ensure that the ROM version

with the ROM version on the Receiver.

NOTE
If downloaded code is used, then the downloaded
code can be used to change the needed parameter (the
rx_fru_config parameter).

Diversity Uses and Cautions

The 3X receiver board can be used in one, two, or three branch diversity systems.
The number of active receivers is determined by the rx_fru_config parameter
stored on the Base Radio Control (BRC) board. The rx_fru_config parameter is
only valid, and must be set properly for, systems utilizing the CRF6010 or
CRF6030 3X Receiver board. The rx_fru_config parameter is ignored by Base
Radios that have ROM older than version R06.06.17 installed on the Base Radio
Controller board.

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radio

800 MHz 3X Receiver CLN1283; 900 MHz 3X Receiver CLN1356

To view the rx_fru_config parameter, use the MMI command

get rx_fru_config . The conguration of each repeater can be changed in the
eld to match the number of receivers connected to antennas. To change the
rx_fru_cong parameter, use the command set rx_fru_config yyy , where yyy is
the active receiver (yyy is 1 for one branch, 12 for two branch, and 123 for three
branch diversity. For the iDEN system to work optimally, the rx_fru_config
parameter must match the number of receivers connected to antennas.

CAUTION
There will be signicant system degradation if the
rx_fru_config parameter is not properly set in
systems with the CLN1283 or CLN1356 3X receiver
kit.

Modifying Base Radios from Three Branch to Two

Branch Diversity
NOTE
This procedure is applicable only to Base Radios
equipped with the CRF6010 or CRF6030 3X Receiver
Board.

When modifying a three branch Base Radio to a two branch Base Radio, it is
important to observe all precautionary statements in the previous paragraph.
To modify a three branch Base Radio to a two branch Base Radio:
1.

Disconnect the RF cable from the RX3 connector on the Base Radio.

Connect an SMA male load (Motorola part number 5882106P03) to the RX3
connector on the Base Radio.
The SMA male load is required to limit the amount of radiated emissions.

Theory of Operation
The Receiver performs highly selective bandpass ltering and dual down
conversion of the station receive RF signal. A custom Receiver IC outputs the
baseband information in a differential data format and sends it to the BRC.

The synthesizer and VCO circuitry generate the RF signal used to produce the
1st LO injection signal for the rst mixer in all the Receiver front end circuits.
Functional operation of these circuits involves a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) and
VCO.
The PLL IC receives frequency selection data from the BRC module
microprocessor via the SPI bus. Once programmed, the PLL IC compares a
2.1 MHz reference signal from the BRC with a feedback sample of the VCO
output from its feedback buffer.

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radio

800 MHz 3X Receiver CLN1283; 900 MHz 3X Receiver CLN1356

Correction pulses are generated by the PLL IC, depending on whether the
feedback signal is higher or lower in frequency than the 2.1 MHz reference. The
width of these pulses is dependent on the amount of difference between the
2.1 MHz reference and the VCO feedback.
The up/down pulses are fed to a charge pump circuit that outputs a DC voltage
proportional to the pulse widths. This DC voltage is low-pass ltered and fed to
the VCO circuit as the control voltage. The control voltage is between +2.5 Vdc
and +7.5 Vdc.
The DC control voltage from the synthesizer is fed to the VCO, which generates
the RF signal used to produce the 1st LO injection signal. The VCO responds to
the DC control voltage by generating the appropriate RF signal. This signal is fed
through a buffer to the 1st LO injection amplier. A sample of this signal is
returned to the PLL IC through a buffer to close the VCO feedback loop.

Receiver Front End Circuitry

The station receive RF signal enters the Receiver through the RF-type connector
located on the back of the Receiver board. This signal is low-pass ltered and
amplied. The amplied output is image ltered before being input to the 1st
mixer. The signal mixes with the 1st LO injection signal to produce a 73.35 MHz
1st IF signal.
The 1st IF signal is sent through a 4-pole bandpass lter and fed to a buffer
amplier. The buffer amplier output signal is 4-pole bandpass ltered again and
the resultant signal is then passed through a digital attenuator. This attenuation is
determined by the BRC. The resulting signal is then fed to the RF input of the
custom receive IC.

Custom Receiver IC Circuitry

The custom Receiver IC provides additional amplication, ltering, and a second
down-conversion. The 2nd IF signal is converted to a digital signal and is output
via differential driver circuitry to the BRC. This data signal contains the necessary
I and Q information, AGC information, and other data transfer information
required by the BRC to process the receive signal.
The remainder of the custom Receiver IC circuitry consists of timing and tank
circuits to support the internal oscillator, 2nd LO synthesizer circuitry, and 2nd IF
circuitry.
A serial bus provides data communications between the custom Receiver IC and
the DSP Glue ASIC (DGA) located on the BRC. This bus enables the DGA to
control various current and gain settings, establish the data bus clock rate,
program the 2nd LO, and perform other control functions.

Address Decode Circuitry

The address decode circuitry enables the BRC to use the SPI bus to select a specic
device on a specic Receiver for control or data communication purposes.
If the board select circuitry decodes address lines A2 through A5 as the Receiver
address, it enables the chip select circuitry. The chip select circuitry then decodes
address lines A0 and A1 to generate the chip select signals for the EEPROM, A/D
converter, and PLL IC.

Memory Circuitry
The memory circuitry consists of three EEPROMs located on the Receiver. The
BRC performs all memory read and write operations via the SPI bus. Information
stored in this memory device includes the kit number, revision number, module
specic scaling and correction factors, and free form module information
(scratch pad).

A/D Converter Circuitry

Analog signals from various strategic operating points throughout the Receiver
board are fed to the A/D converter. These analog signals are converted to a
digital signal and are output to the BRC via the SPI lines upon request of the BRC.

Voltage Regulator Circuitry

The voltage regulator circuitry consists of two +10 Vdc, a +10.8 Vdc, and two
+5 Vdc regulators. The two +10 Vdc and the +10.8 Vdc regulators accept the
+14.2 Vdc input from the backplane interconnect board and generate the
operating voltages for the Receiver circuitry.
The +10 Vdc regulators each feed a +5 Vdc regulator, one of which outputs
Analog +5 Vdc, and the other Digital +5 Vdc operating voltages for use by the
custom Receiver IC.
A +5.1 Vdc operating voltage is also available from the backplane interconnect
board to supply +5.1 Vdc to the remainder of the Receiver circuitry.

Phase-Locked Loop
The PLL IC receives frequency selection data from the BRC module

The dc control voltage from the synthesizer is fed to the VCO, which generates
the RF signal used to produce the 1st LO injection signal. The VCO responds to

The frequency doubler is used to double the frequency of the RF signal from the
VCO to produce the 1st LO injection signal. This frequency-doubled signal is sent
to the injection amplier to provide the 1st LO injection signal to the mixer in the
receiver front end circuitry.

Receiver Front End Circuitry

The station receive RF signal enters the receiver module through the RF-type
connector located on the receiver board. This signal is low-pass ltered. It is then
sent to the preselector, and amplied. The amplied output is image ltered
before being input to the 1st mixer. The signal mixes with the 1st LO injection
signal to produce a 73.35 MHz 1st IF signal.
The 1st IF signal is sent through a 4-pole bandpass lter and fed to a buffer
amplier. The signal is 4-pole bandpass ltered again. The resultant signal passes
through a digital attenuator. This attenuation is determined by the BRC module.
The signal is then fed to the RF input of the custom receive IC.

Address Decode Circuitry

The address decode circuitry enables the BRC module to use the address bus. The

Connect the Receive Antenna #3 RF cable to the RX3 connector on the Base
Radio.

Verify that the rx_fru_config parameter is set properly, according to the

Diversity Uses and Cautions paragraph.

Theory of Operation
The Receiver performs highly selective bandpass ltering and dual down
conversion of the station receive RF signal. A custom Receiver IC outputs the
baseband information in a differential data format and sends it to the BRC.
Table 7-7 lists the Receiver circuitry. Figure 7-6 shows a functional block diagram
for the Receiver.

Receiver Circuitry

Circuit

Description

Frequency
Synthesizer Circuitry

Consists of a phase-locked loop and VCO. It generates the 1st LO

injection signal for all three receivers.

Receiver Front-End
Circuitry

Provides ltering, amplication, and the 1st down conversion of the

receive RF signal. This block includes digital step attenuators at the 1st
IF.

Custom Receiver IC
Circuitry

Consists of a custom IC to perform the 2nd down conversion, ltering,

amplication, and conversion of the receive signal. This block outputs
the receive signal as differential data to the BRC.

Address Decode,
A/D Converter, &
Memory Circuitry

Performs address decoding for board and chip-select signals. Converts

analog status signals to digital format for use by the BRC. A memory
device holds module-specic information.

Local Power Supply

Regulation

Accepts +14.2 Vdc input from the backplane interconnect board. Also
generates two +10 Vdc, a +11.5 Vdc, and two +5 Vdc signals for the
receiver.

EBTS System Manual - Vol 2

800 MHz QUAD Channel Receiver CLN1283;

The PLL ICC generates correction pulses, depending on whether the feedback
signal is higher or lower in frequency than the 2.1 MHz reference. The width of
these pulses depends on the amount of difference between the 2.1 MHz reference
and the VCO feedback.
The up/down pulses enter a charge pump circuit. The charge pump outputs a DC
voltage proportional to the pulse widths. After low-pass ltering, this DC voltage
enters the VCO circuit as the control voltage. The control voltage measures
between +2.5 Vdc and +7.5 Vdc.
The DC control voltage from the synthesizer is enters the VCO. The VCO
generates the RF signal that the circuit uses to produce the 1st LO injection signal.
The VCO responds to the DC control voltage by generating the appropriate RF
signal. This signal passes through a buffer to the 1st LO injection amplier. A
sample of this signal returns to the PLL IC through a buffer to close the VCO
feedback loop.

Receiver Front End Circuitry

The station receive RF signal enters the Receiver through the RF-type connector
on the back of the Receiver board. The circuit low-pass lters and amplies this
signal. The amplied output passes through an image lters before entering the
1st mixer. The signal mixes with the 1st LO injection signal to produce a 73.35
MHz 1st IF signal.
The 1st IF signal passes through a four-pole, bandpass lter and enters a buffer
amplier. The buffer amplier output signal again undergoes four-pole,
bandpass ltering. The resultant signal then passes through a digital attenuator.
The BRC determines the amount of attenuation. The resulting signal then enters
the RF input of the custom Receiver IC.

Custom Receiver IC Circuitry

The custom Receiver IC provides additional amplication, ltering, and a second
down-conversion. The IC converts the 2nd IF signal to a digital signal. The digital
signal exits the receiver IC via differential driver circuitry, and passes to the BRC.
This data signal contains I and Q information, AGC information, and other data
transfer information. The BRC uses this information to facilitate processing of the
receive signal.
The remainder of the custom Receiver IC circuitry consists of timing and tank
circuits. These circuits support the internal oscillator, 2nd LO synthesizer, and 2nd
IF circuitry.
A serial bus provides data communications between the custom Receiver IC and
the DSP Glue ASIC (DGA). These circuits are on the BRC. The serial bus enables
the DGA to perform several control functions...

EBTS System Manual - Vol 2

800/900/1500 MHz Base Radio

800 MHz QUAD Channel Receiver CLN1283;

Address Decode Circuitry

Address decode circuitry enables the BRC to use the SPI bus to select a specic
device on a specic Receiver for control or data communication purposes.
If board-select circuitry decodes address lines A2 through A5 as the Receiver
address, it enables the chip select circuitry. The chip select circuitry then decodes
address lines A0 and A1. The decoding process generates the chip select signals
for the EEPROM, A/D converter, and PLL IC.

Memory Circuitry
The memory circuitry consists of three EEPROMs located on the Receiver. The
BRC performs memory read and write operations via the SPI bus. Information
stored in this memory device includes...

the kit number

revision number

module specic scaling and correction factors

free form module information (scratch pad)

A/D Converter Circuitry

Analog signals from various strategic operating points throughout the Receiver
board pass through the A/D converter. These analog signals become a digital
signal. Upon request of the BRC, this signal travels to the BRC via the SPI lines.

Voltage Regulator Circuitry

The voltage regulator circuitry consists of two +10 Vdc, a +10.8 Vdc, and two
+5 Vdc regulators. The two +10 Vdc and the +10.8 Vdc regulators accept the
+14.2 Vdc input from the backplane interconnect board. These regulators produce
operating voltages for the Receiver circuitry.
The +10 Vdc regulators each feed a +5 Vdc regulator. One of these regulators
outputs Analog +5 Vdc. The other regulator outputs Digital +5 Vdc operating
voltages for use by the custom Receiver IC.
The backplane interconnect board also produces a +5.1 Vdc operating voltage.
This voltage powers the remainder of the Receiver circuitry.

Equipment Disconnection
Use the following steps to disconnect equipment after verifying the transmitter.
1.

Remove power from the Base Radio by setting the Power Supply rocker
switch (located behind the front panel of the Power Supply) to the OFF (0)
position.

Disconnect the RS-232 cable from the connector on the service computer.

Disconnect the other end of the RS-232 cable from the RS-232 connector
located on the front panel of the BRC.

Disconnect the test cable from the PA OUT connector located on the
backplane of the Base Radio.

Connect the standard equipment cable to the PA OUT connector.

Disconnect the 10 dB attenuator from the other end of the test cable.

From the attenuator, disconnect the cable to the R2660

Communications Analyzer.

Restore power to the Base Radio by setting the Power Supply rocker switch
to the ON (1) position.
If necessary, continue with the Receiver Verication Procedure.

Receiver Verification
The receiver verication procedure sends a known test signal to the Base Radio to
verify the receive path. This verication procedure is recommended after
replacing a Receiver, BRC, or Power Supply module.

Equipment Setup
Set up the equipment for the receiver verication procedure as follows:

8-28

Remove power from the Base Radio by setting the Power Supply rocker
switch (located behind the front panel of the Power Supply) to the OFF (0)
position.

Connect one end of the RS-232 cable to the service computer.

front panel of the BRC.

Disconnect the existing cable from the connector labeled RX1 (or the
connector corresponding to the receiver under test).
This connector is located on the backplane of the Base Radio.

Connect a test cable to the RX 1 connector.

Connect the other end of the test cable to the RF IN/OUT connector on the
R2660 Communications Analyzer.

Remove power from the R2660 and connect the Rubidium Frequency
Standard 10MHZ OUTPUT to a 10 dB attenuator.

Connect the other end of the 10 dB attenuator to the 10MHZ REFERENCE

OSCILLATOR IN/OUT connector on the R2660.

Set the R2660 to the EXT REF mode.

10.

Apply power to the R2660.

NOTE
Refer to the equipment manual provided with the
R2660 for further information regarding mode
conguration of the unit (Motorola Part
No. 68P80386B72).

11.

Set the R2660 to the receive frequency of the Base Radio under test.
All receivers within a single Base Radio have the same receive frequency.

12.

Set the R2660 to generate the test signal at an output level of -80dBm.

Receiver Verification Procedure

This procedure provides commands and responses to verify proper operation of
the Base Radio receive path. Perform the procedure on all three receivers in each
Base Radio in the EBTS.
The Bit Error Rate (BER) measurement meets specications at less than 0.01%
(1.0e-02%) to pass the process.
Before you begin the verication procedure, put the Base Radio into the test mode
of operation to take it out of service. Enable the desired receiver under test and
disable the other receiver(s). In this case the receiver under test is receiver #1.
In the following procedures, enter the software commands as they appear after

Station Verification Procedures

Equipment Disconnection
Disconnect equipment after verifying the receiver as follows:
1.

Remove power from the Base Radio by setting the Power Supply rocker
switch (located behind the front panel of the Power Supply) to the OFF (0)
position.

Disconnect the RS-232 cable from the connector on the service computer.

Disconnect the other end of the RS-232 cable from the RS-232 connector on
the front panel of the BRC.

Disconnect the test cable from the RX 1 connector located on the backplane
of the Base Radio.

Connect the standard equipment cable to the RX 1 connector.

Disconnect the cable to the R2660 Communications Analyzer.

Restore power to the Base Radio by setting the Power Supply rocker switch
to the ON (1) position.
This completes the Receiver Verication Procedure for the receiver under
test.

Repeat the Receiver Verication Procedure for each receiver in every Base Radio
in the EBTS.

Base Radio/Base Radio FRU Replacement Procedures

NOTE
After a Control Board or BR replacement, the
integrated Site Controller (iSC) reboots the BR.
Whenever the BR goes off-line, the Replacement BRC
Accept Timer begins counting down. A BR reboot
occurs if the BR remains off-line as the timer times out.
(The timers default period is three minutes.) If
someone turns on the BR before the timer times out,
power down the BR. Then wait for the minimum
timer period before turning on the BR.

Notice the Power Supply rocker switch, behind the front panel of the Power
Supply. Set the Power Supply rocker switch to the OFF (0) position. Turning
off this switch removes power from the Base Radio.

Loosen the front panel fasteners. These are located on each side of the
module being replaced.

Pull out the module.

Insert the non-defective replacement module by aligning the module side

rails with the appropriate rail guides inside the Base Radio chassis.

Gently push the replacement module completely into the Base Radio chassis
assembly using the module handle(s).

CAUTION
DO NOT slam or force the module into the chassis
assembly. Rough handling can damage the connectors
or backplane.

9-8

Secure the replacement module by tightening the front panel fasteners to the
specied torque of 5 in-lbs.

Apply power to the Base Radio by setting the switch to the ON position.

Perform the Station Verication Procedure.

Station Verification Procedures

Perform the Station Verication Procedures whenever you replace a FRU. The
procedures verify transmit and receive operations. Each procedure also contains
the equipment setup.

Replacement FRU Verification

Before shipment, the factory programs all module-specic information. Base
Radio specic information (e.g., receive and transmit frequencies) involves a
download to the Base Radio from the network/site controller.
The Base Radio does not require replacement FRU alignment.

Base Repeater FRU Hardware Revision Verification

NOTE
The following procedure requires the Base Radio to be
out of service. Unless the Base Radio is currently out
of service, Motorola recommends performing this
procedure during off-peak hours. Performing this
procedure then minimizes or eliminates disruption of
service to system users.

Connect one end of the RS-232 cable to the service computer.

Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the STATUS port, located on the
front panel of the EX/CNTL module.
