Maxiva 16 Module Transmitter Diagrams
The Maxiva transmitter has many configurations for different power levels. A PA
cabinet can hold up to 16 PA modules, and can have up to three cabinets. This paper
refers to the 16 module transmitter which is housed in the main PA cabinet. When this
configuration is understood, the other transmitter configurations should be understood
since they are close to this one.

RF Block Diagram
A schematic orientated block diagram of the Maxiva 16 Module transmitter is shown in
Figure 4-22 on page 4-51. The exciter switcher (located in the TCU assembly) selects
one exciter for on the air, the other one is connected to a load. Following the exciter
switcher is a three way splitter, which provides RF drive for up to three PA cabinets.
From the three way splitter, the RF goes to the predriver assembly.
Note: The IPA and PA modules are the same.
The predriver assembly features an RF splitter and two predriver modules. It therefore
has one input and three outputs. The predriver assembly is discussed in greater detail
4.6.2 on page 4-29, and its block diagram is shown in Figure 4-11 on page 4-31.
The two RF output signals from the predriver are applied to the IPA backplane, where
they drive two IPA modules. The two IPA output are applied to the RF drive switch,
where the output from one IPA drives the PA modules and the other is sent to a test load.
The on the air IPA output drives a two way splitter, with each of its outputs driving an
eight way splitter. Each of these 16 RF outputs are used to drive the 16 PA modules.
The PA modules are inserted into mating connectors on back plane modules. Each
backplane module will hold four PA modules, therefore, four PA backplanes are
required to house the 16 PA modules.
The PA (and IPA) backplanes are interfaces which supply each PA (or IPA) module with
the following:
•
Three phase AC power to feed the eight AC to DC converters within each PA
module. These converters supply the DC power to the four PA pallets within
each PA module.
•
RF drive.
•
Control and monitoring signals.
