SNV-12 Operations Manual
3-74
The DSP AGC algorithm was designed such that the pilot tone amplitude is expected to be
equal to the amplitude of an average voice signal. Both should produce the same level at the
receiver output as would an RF signal of sufficient strength to fully quiet the receiver, carrying
a 1 kHz tone at 3 kHz deviation (or 1.5 kHz for narrowband). See the SVM audio input setting
instructions in the next section of this manual and the AGC setup procedure below.
AGC and Pilot Tone Notch Filter
When the Pilot Tone Regulated AGC feature is enabled, the DSP pilot tone notch filter is not
functional. This means that the pilot tone will be heard momentarily at the end of each voting
sequence.
AGC Setup Procedure
The Line AGC level switches on each SVM are used to set a reference level for the pilot tone.
If the Pilot tone varies in level from this reference point, the AGC circuit will compensate for
changes within its limits (6dB of compression, and 12dB of gain). The following adjustment
procedure is recommended. It describes how to set the pilot tone to the correct relationship to
voice audio signals at the receiver output.
Ideally, the link between the remote receiver and the SNV-12 has a flat frequency response
from 300 to 3k Hz. If the pilot tone and the received speech (simulated by a 1 kHz test tone)
leave the receiver at the same level, high-frequency roll-off can cause the pilot tone to be at a
relatively lower level when measured at the SVM audio input pins. The voter can compensate
for some high frequency roll-off or other non-linear frequency response characteristic.
The procedure tells how to determine the link between the receiver and the voter is non-linear,
and how to compensate if it is.
1.
At the receiver site, connect a service monitor to the receiver‟s antenna port. On the
receiver‟s frequency, generate a 1kHz tone at full deviation (FM; 3kHz normal, 2.4kHz
NPSPAC. AM; 100% modulation). Apply enough signal strength to fully quiet the receiver,
typically 12 dB. The 1kHz tone is used to simulate average voice (Test Tone).
2.
Now bridge a transmission test set to the receiver‟s output audio pair. Set the receiver‟s
“Line Out” adjustment to an appropriate system level for the transmission medium
connection to the voter. If possible, set the receive output levels to 0dBm, -3dBm, -6dBm or
-9dBm (these correspond to the center of one of the AGC ranges). Squelch the receiver and
set the pilot tone output to as close as possible to the received 1 kHz tone. Write down these
levels for comparisons in step 4.
3.
At the voter, with the test tone still being generated at the receiver, verify the test tone level
at the RX input (pins 1&2) of the corresponding terminal block, for the SVM being set up is
the correct level for transmission medium connection. Write down the level for comparison
in step 4. Set the SVM‟s RX audio level pot (R45) so that the 1kHz tone just lights the
NORM LED (Yellow). Verify this adjustment by connecting a transmission test set
between test point 3 (TP3) and ground. The SVM-2 should be measure for 5dBm and the
SVM-1 should measure 0dBm.
4.
Squelch the receiver so that pilot tone is produced. Note the pilot tone level as measured at
the appropriate SVM RX input. If the transmission medium has a flat frequency response,
the pilot tone and test tone measurements at the SVM will both vary by the same amount
from their levels measured at the receiver. Note the difference between how much the pilot
tone level changes as compared to the test tone level.
