RF Sources
Once again, due to the different hardware configurations, there are many possibilities of
RF signal origination within the transmitter. The RF chain may begin with either an
HDx-FM exciter, or a BoostPro amplifier output. Or, in FM backup mode it may begin
with any one of several Harris FM exciters. To simplify terminology this RF origination
will be called RF Source by the controller, and throughout this manual. However, there
may be times when text discussing certain circuitry may still use the original term
exciter. Also, there may be certain pieces of hardware that still contain the word exciter
in the part description, on its silkscreen labeling, or as part of the schematic
representation.
