2.3.1 Gain Control
The available settings for
Gain Control
allow
an attenuation of the input signal up to -30 dB as well as
an amplification of up to +25 dB to adapt the UMS100/120 to various measurement activities.
For an automatic adoption (AGC) it is possible to select
•
Fast (1 ms)
•
Medium (10 ms, only in FFM) and
•
Slow (100 ms, only in FFM)
2.3.2 Overload Indicator
For all manual measurements an overload indicator is available.
In case that the antenna input level reaches a critical value, where the pre-amplifier could produce
intermodulation or more critical, the analogue-digital-converter could be overdriven, the indicator color is
changing from green as shown above to red.
CAUTION
Performing a wide frequency scan (see next chapter) beginning with 100 kHz, step width of
20 MHz and wide IF bandwidth of 1 MHz the following effect can be seen:
In the area of the start frequency (100 KHz) the frequency of the local oscillator is within the
IF bandwidth of 1 MHz so that as a result a very strong level of about 130 dB
M
V/m is
displayed. Even with a selected attenuation of -30 dB the overload indicator will be still on.
This is a normal effect that can be observed with every receiver with corresponding
settings.
