M-TUNE
means entry into the manual tuning mode. It allows fine tuning of the PA, especially in cases
where the antenna impedance is different from real 50 Ohms. For proper adjustment we need to show
Screen
current (at least). By Pressing
M-TUNE
. A new screen is visible and TUNE and LOAD
adjustment sliders appear.
M-TUNE Adjustment process
: Move
TUNE
left or right until maximum
FWD
power is reached. Then
move
LOAD
carefully so that Ig2
Screen
(I Screen on the display) current will not be higher than
20mA. Repeat this process until the tuning process is optimal at the desired power level.
The result of the tuning process is optimal when the PA is tuned for maximum forward power and Ig2
current stays in the 0 to +20mA range. At that time maximum efficiency and optimal linearity are
achieved. This applies to each power application. It is not necessary to retune the PA, if we decrease
the output power. The PA stays in linear mode with slightly lower efficiency. If we increase the output
power, retuning is necessary only if Ig2 e20mA.
Press
SAVE
for writing values to the
memory and press
EXIT
.
NOTE:
Repeat M-TUNE adjustment
process for other segments / bands as
required.
Below is an example of an M-TUNE situation. First we will check driving power from the transceiver.
Stay in
STBY
mode, press
PTT
and apply
RF
power.
Measured driving power is 53 Watts.
Now switch to
OPER
, press
PTT
and apply
RF
from TCVR. See the following picture.
Type of supported TCVR and working
frequency are visible on the display.
AUTO LED is ON.
