9.1.3
Input Splitter Circuit
The Power Splitter circuit mounted on the rear part of the equipment in the opposite
side of the input connector to the exciter and of the RF outputs to the amplifiers.
The circuit is realized with strip line plus coaxial cables.
Five resistive termination placed near to the output serves to absorb any unbalanced
powers in case of faulty or performance differences of some amplifier to prevent
excessive power driving on the well functioning (well loaded) outputs.
9.1.4
Phase Regulation Card
Questa scheda è montata sul lato anteriore della macchina. Sulla scheda sono
presenti cinque coppie di capacità variabili che servono per compensare le fasi
delle cinque uscite, provenienti dal circuito divisore, che vengono utilizzate per pilotare
gli amplificatori.
9.1.5
Power combiner Card
The function of the coupler section is to add the RF power portions provided by the
amplifiers and to pass it through the antenna output.
The 5-way combiner circuit is designed with strip-lines technollogies and 50 Ohm
coaxial cables. The strip-line circuits are completely shielded inside the combiner
cover.
9.1.6
Unbalanced Power Measurement Card
Every way of the combiner is connected to its own circuit of unbalanced power
measurement card, mounted on the dissipator. The power resistances are connected
to these measure circuits that serve in order to absorb unbalanced power in case of
performances differences between the amplifiers of the system.
9.1.7
CPU
This subsystem is composed of three cards: the true card CPU, the analogic section
CARD and the card of interconnection and filtering EMI.
The CPU implements all the software functions previously described (measurements,
protections, controls, data visualizations, communications). The analogic circuitry
carries out the normalizations and measures on the various parameters that the
machine holds under control.
The CPU card can be interfaced to external dispositive through a dedicated telemetry
connector, RS232 serial port and one IIC port.
The analogic signals provided from the hybrid coupler are available on a DB25
connector.
