4.1
Introduction
This section provides a more in-depth discussion of the operation of the ZX transmitter.
Consult Section 1 – Introduction for diagrams to assist in the location of the various
subassemblies discussed in this section. Section 4.1 through 4.12 address subassemblies
within an individual amplifier chassis. Sections 4.13 through 4.14 address assemblies
found inside the transmitter cabinet in ZX7.5 and higher power model transmitters.

RF Interconnect Wiring Diagram
Consult the appropriate drawing based on the type of amplifier used in your transmitter
model:
ZX10 (ZX5000 amplifier) = 839-8464-082
ZX7.5 (ZX3750 amplfier) = 839-8464-084
ZX5000 = 839-8464-082
ZX3750 = 839-8464-084
ZX2500 = 839-8464-086
RF power from the exciter passes through a 3dB attenuator and a two-way Wilkinson
splitter. The resulting two outputs drive the inputs of a PA module serving as an
intermediate power amplifier (IPA). The IPA backplane has the ability to shut off
independently each half of the module in the IPA position for increased redundancy.
The isolation provided by the two-way IPA splitter ensures that the deactivation of one
half of the IPA module has a minimal impact of the drive level to the other half.
The IPA module is simply a PA module installed in the IPA position. It may be
interchanged with any of the other PA modules in the transmitter at any time without
restrictions.
