CHAPTER I GENERAL

SCOPE.

This manual describes the following RYCOM instruments:

Model 3l2lB Selective Levelmeter Model 3l26B Selective Levelmeter Model 3132 Selective Levelmeter

2. DESCRIPTION.

All the instruments are intended for general use where it is desired to measure the level of individual or narrow bands of frequencies. Each can be operated with its internal battery, or from 115 volts, 50 to 400 Hz, which is also used to charge the battery.

Table 1 lists the specifications and figures 1 and 2 show the instruments.

The instruments are all fully transistorized. Each measures voltage from 7.75 microvolts to 10 volts (-100 dBm to +22 dBm) in the frequency range 1 to 1500 kilohertz. Excepting Model 3l26B (250 Hz only), each instrument has a 100- or 2s0-Hz bandwidth filter that makes it particularly useful for analyzing closely spaced signals, complex waveforms, determining carrier system levels, and check­ing amplitude modulation percentages. Included is a 2.s-kHz bandwidth filter that has a ±O.s dB ripple factor. Special features include an internal oscill ­ator for calibration, a speaker, a headphone jack for aural monitoring, and a built-in battery charger.

A compact metal cabinet 8 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 9 inches deep houses the instrument. Weight, including the battery, is 15 -pounds. The front panel contains all the operating controls and is protected by a metal cover that snaps in place. The POWER switch must be set to the OFF position before the cover can be installed, thereby preventing the possibility of battery discharge while the instrument is not in use.

Most of the circuitry is laid out on printed circuit boards and assembled into six separate modules. Extensive shielding is provided for modules and compon­ents to prevent interaction between circuits.

The POWER switch is used to select either 115 volts, 50-400 Hz, or an internal nickel-cadmium battery as the power source. The battery will operate the instru­ment approximately 35 hours without recharging. The instrument will operate on the lIS-volt ac line source with or without the battery and regardless of battery condition. A polarized three-pin male connector, on the right side of the front panel, provides access for battery charging and operation from the ItS-volt ac source. The instrument may be operated while the battery is charging.

11. MONITORING.

Provision is made for monitoring audio signals that may be present on line signals under measurement. To monitor signals, set SELECTIVITY switch to 2.5 KHz, set MONITOR switch to desired position (AM, LSB, or USB), and adjust AUDIO LEVEL control to the desired audio level.

12. COUNTER OUTPUT.

The counter is normally supplied with 100-Hz instruments.

a. Using a short length of coaxial cable, connect the instrument COUNTER out­put jack to the input of a frequency counter with the following minimum characteristics:

Sensitivity: 0.1 V Input Impedance: 10,000 ohms

NOTE

If the frequency counter has variable gate and display times, proceed-with steps band £.

b. Using Counter to Replace Instrument FREQUENCY Dial.

(1) Set counter GATE TIME to 0.01 second.

(2) If counter has MEMORY control, turn it on.

(3) Adjust counter DISPLAY control for minimum display time.

(4) Counter indicates frequency setting of the instrument ±100 Hz.

c. Using Counter as a Tuned-to-Freguency Readout.

(1) Carefully adjust TUNING control so meter indicates maximum (peaked).

(2) Set frequency counter GATE TIME to 0.1 second.

(3) Adjust frequency counter DISPLAY control for a display time as short as possible but easily readable.

(4) With a laO-Hz filter in the instrument, the frequency counter indi­cates the frequency to which the instrument is tuned ±20 Hz.

d. A counter with fixed l-second gate time can also be used. Tuning to and measuring a frequency is a little slower but just as accurate.

CHAPTER III THEORY OF OPERATION

1. GENERAL.

The instrument employs a single conversion superheterodyne circuit with a selectable bandpass of 250 (100) Hz or 2.5 kHz to measure frequencies in the range 1 to 1500 kHz. Figure 11 is a functional block diagram of the instru­ment and figure 12 is the basic schematic diagram without the counter output module. Figures l2A, l2B, and l2C show the different input circuits of the three models. Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of the counter output module.

At the input of the instrument, a switch is used to select the input signal from either the 250-kHz calibrate oscillator or from the front panel INPUT jacks. A filter and matching network are incorporated into the input circuit to attenuate unwanted high-frequency components and to provide proper imped­ances.

A variable attenuator provides up to 100 dB of attenuation in 10-dB steps tc control sensitivity of the instrument. Tuning of the instrument is accomplished by a variable local oscillator whose output varies from 2216 to 3715 kHz. The input and local oscillator signals are heterodyned in a mixer to produce a 22l5-kHz difference frequency. The i-f amplifier is tuned to 2215 kHz and it amplifies the mixer output.

The 250 (lOO)-Hz and 2.S-kHz selectivities of the instrument are determined by crystal filters between the first and second i-f amplifiers. After amplifi ­cation by the i-f amplifier, the signal is rectified and filtered in a meter detector circuit and then applied to a meter.

The second detector, when used with insertion frequency of 2213.5 kHz and 2216.5 kHz will produce single sideband demodulation for audio monitoring.

The calibrate oscillator generates a 250-kHz square wave and is amplitude­regulated to provide an output level that is equivalent to -30 dBm at the INPUT jacks. Before measurements are made, the instrument sensitivity is calibrated by connecting the calibrate oscillator output to the instrument input circuits and adjusting the i-f amplifier gain for a meter indication of o dBm.

When the instrument is used for power measurements, the variable attenuator is used to change sensitivity in calibrated steps of 10 dB. For example, assume that a signal level of -42 dBm is applied to the instrument input. Adjusting the ATTENUATOR to the -40 DB position will result in meter indication of -2 dBm. The input level is then determined by algebraically adding the meter indication to the attenuator setting;

-40 dB + (-2 dBm) -42 dBm

INPUT MODULE AI.

The input circuits are composed of INPUT SELECTOR switch Sl and a 100-dB ATTENUATOR AIATI. Input signals are applied to INPUT binding posts AIEl and AlE2. All models have 5000 ohms input impedance.

In Models 3l2lB and 3132, resistor AlRl, AlR2, or AIR3 is switched into the circuit by AISI to terminate 75-, 135-, or 600-ohm lines. In Model 3l26B, resistor AIR2 or AIR3 is switched into the circuit by AISI to terminate 135­or 600-ohm lines.

In Model 3l26B, resistors AIR4 and AIRS form a 6.S-dB L-pad, and are sWitched into the circuit in INPUT SELECTOR positions 600 Ohms BRG or 600 Ohms TERM for measurements on 600-ohm impedance lines. This allows one calibration to serve for both 135-ohm and 600-ohm dBm measurements.

EMITTER-FOLLOWER AND CALIBRATE OSCILLATOR MODULE A2.

The function of the emitter-follower with feedback is to match attenuator AlATI to lowpass filter FL3.

The calibrate oscillator is 250 kHZ, crystal-controlled, and biased so the out­put voltage swings between the regulated -power supply voltage and ground. The output is applied through CAL OSC ADJ potentiometer A2Rl2 to switch AISI for calibrating the instrument level and checking the frequency dial accuracy.

LOWPASS FILTER FL3.

The lowpass filter has a cutoff frequency of 1760 kHz and provides 60 dB of attenuation at 2215 kHz. Input and output impedances are 150 ohms.

OSC ILLATOR-MODULATOR MODULE A3.

The input signal is heterodyned with the local oscillator injection signal in balanced modulator diodes A3CRI. The diodes operate as a balanced shunt modu­lator, shorting the signal to ground during one-half the local oscillator cycle. The 2215-kHz output of the modulator is capacitively coupled to the base of first i-f amplifier A4Ql.

Modulator driver A3Q1 output is transformer-coupled through A3Tl to the modu­lator diodes. Local oscillator level at the junction of the modulator diodes is very small due to the matching of components. Input to the modulator driver is capacitively coupled from the emitter of local oscillator A3Q2.

The local oscillator is a modified Colpitts type with three switched frequency bands. The frequency in each band is varied by adjusting TUNING capacitor CI, an 11- to 150-picofarad air-dielectric capacitor. The oscillator circuit is temperature-stabilized by A3CB.

IF AMPLIFIER MODULE A4.

The 2215-kHz output of the modulator is capacitively coupled to first i-f amplifier A4Ql. The amplifier and filter driver consists of three stages:

14 3-72

Page 23: Rycom Model 3121B, 3126B, 3132 Selective Levelmeter ~ Instruction & Maintenance Manual,  March 1972

A4Ql, A4Q2, and A4Q3. Total gain is 36 dB. Output of A4Q2 is transformer coupled to A4Q3, the filter driver.

The instrument has two crystal filters which are selected by SELECTIVITY switch A4S4. The center frequency of both filters is 2215 kHz and the bandwidths are 250(100)Hz (A4FLl) and 2.5 kHz (A4FL2) at 3 dB down. Trimmer capacitors A4C7 through A4ClO tune the filters for maximum flatness. Each filter has an input impedance of 4000 ohms and an output impedance of 1000 ohms.

The filter matching amplifier and second i-f amplifier consists of three stages: A4Q4, A4Q5, and A4Q6. Output of the crystal filter is capacitively coupled to filter matching amplifier A4Q4-A4Q5. CAL LEVEL control R2 is used to adjust bias current for A4Q5, thus controlling gain of the stage. The output of A4QS drives common-emitter amplifier A4Q6. Second i-f amplifier A4Q6 has a gain of 20 to 40 dB, depending upon the setting of CAL LEVEL control R2.

Third i-f amplifier A4Q7 provides 30 dB of gain and is transformer-coupled to i-f output amplifier A4Q8. Output of A4Q7 is also capacitively coupled to the meter detector circuit.

Meter detector diode A4cRl is a half-wave detector with its output applied through A4R27 to power switch S7, which is connected to the meter.

I-f output amplifier A4Q8 provides isolation of the carrier reinsertion oscillator signal and also drives demodulator diodes ASCR2 and ASCR3.

7. DEMODULATOR MODULE AS.

The AM demodulator is a shunt type; AsCR3 is the diode. Monitor switch A5Ss, when in the AM position, connects, the cathode of AsCR3 to ground. Rf filtering is done by A5ClO and AsRls. The audio signal is capacitively coupled from AUDIO LEVEL control Rl to the base of first audio amplifier ASQ5.

The sideband demodulator consists of AsCR2 and AsCR3, which are supplied with carrier signal from ASQ4. These diodes operate as a balanced shunt demodulator that shorts the i-f signal to ground during one-half the injection signal cycle. This produces an audio difference signal that is coupled to the base of first audio amplifier AsQs.

Carrier reinsertion oscillator AsQ3 is crystal-controlled by AsYI or AsY2. Output is capacitively coupled to balanced phase splitter AsQ4, which supplies out-of-phase signals to demodulator diodes AsCR2 and ASCR3. MONITOR switch ASSS is used to apply power to AsQ3 and AsQ4, and select the crystal for LSB or USB demodulation. LSB crystal AsYI is 1.5 kHz below and USB crystal ASY2 is 1.5 kHz above the i-f center of 2215 kHz.

8 • ADD 10 AMPL IF IER MODUL E AS.

The audio amplifier is composed of first audio amplifier ASQs and audio output amplifier AsICl, an integrated circuit. The output of the demodulator is fed through rf decoupling network AsRls and AsClO to AUDIO LEVEL control Ri. Sig­nal at the arm of Rl drives first audio amplifier AsQs. Gain of audio output amplifier ASICI is approximately 28 dB.

3-72 15

Page 24: Rycom Model 3121B, 3126B, 3132 Selective Levelmeter ~ Instruction & Maintenance Manual,  March 1972

9. REGULATOR MODULE AS.

The regulator is a series type, with A5Ql as the series regulator transistor and A5Q2 the control amplifier. Reference diode A5VRl (9.1 volts) controls bias for A5Q2. The output of the regulator is also connected through A5R4 to POWER switch 87 for checking battery condition. Nickel-cadmium batteries hold their full voltage throughout the useful life of the charge, thus a meter indication of a ±O.5 dBm indicates that the battery charge is adequate for instrument operation.

10. AC POWER SUPPLY AND CHARGER MODULE A6.

The ac power supply consists of Tl, A6CR1, A6Cl, A6Rl, and A6VRl. Voltage applied to the regulator and to the audio amplifiers on module AS is preregulated by A6VRl. The ac power supply also supplies charging current of approximately 65 milliamperes to the battery when POWER switch 87 is in the BAT. position. When the POWER switch is in the AC position, A6R2 is connected in series with the battery to supply a trickle charge of approximately 5 milliamperes and isolate the battery from the preregulated line.

11. COUNTER OUTPUT MODULE A7.

Module A7 is usually installed in instruments with lOa-Hz selectivity but it can be ordered with 250-Hz instruments. The purpose of the module is to provide an output signal for accurate frequency measurements by an external electronic frequency counter.

Figure 13 is the schematic diagram of the counter module.

A signal from local oscillator module A3 is connected through coaxial cable to El of module A7. The signal goes through isolation amplifiers A7Ql and A7Q2 to pin 1 of product detector A7ICl. Transistor A7Q5 and associated components form a crystal-controlled oscillator that is adjustable over the i-f of 2215 kHz. The output of this injection oscillator is coupled to pin 2 of A7ICI.

The output at pin 8 of A7lCl is the product of the local oscillator and the injection oscillator outputs, and is applied to lowpass filter A7L2-A7L3. Only the difference frequency is passed and applied to amplifier A7Q3. Tran­sistor A7Q4 provides a low output impedance through A7C12 to COUNTER output connector J3 on the front panel of the instrument.

Counter output signal accuracy depends upon the accuracy of centering within the bandpass of the lOO-Hz filter.
