Dear Eric,

Thank you for your mail.

Yes, we found that the interconnect T-Join between two system is heated up. 
Could we just cool down the T-Join for there is other way to solve this issue?

Kent, 
 
I have seen this sort of problem before in a simaler application. I believe 
that your duplexer may have a bad internal connection, possibly at a 
fingerstock contact. In my case the problem was solved by replacing the 
duplexer. I believe the problem was caused by tuning the duplexer under power 
rather than with a network analyser. This occured many years ago, so my memory 
may be faulty.

Dear Joe,

Yes, we have observed the signal with a spectrum analyser. It is a broadband 
noise covering our entire TETRA band.

Yes, the transmitter is keyed up continually. 

Regarding oscillation, what circuitry will develop the oscillation in 3 days? 
We are thinking about the heat problem too, as heat may be developed overtime.

Hello Kent,

Have you looked at the noise on a spectrum analyzer? Is is broadbanded 
noise, or is it just on your receiver frequencies? If it is only on 
specific frequencies, is it frequency stable or does it drift around? 

Also, do any of your transmitters stay constantly keyed up?

I'm wondering if something external to your system is oscillating. Your 
signals may be causing it to go into self-oscillation. When you shut 
your system off it stops. This is just a guess right now.

[Repeater-Builder] Noise Level on a Duplexer

2010-03-08 Thread Kent Chong
Hello Everybody,

Good day.

We have developed a Duplexer to combine to two signals form two systems for 
in-building application. The Dupluxer (or combiner) has specifications of 1.7dB 
insertion loss and 60dB isolation. When we set up the system and power on the 
two systems, the combiner works fine.

However, we notice that the noise level (up link) on the two systems will 
slowly increase, and until 3~4 days later, the noise level has increased to 
-80~-60dBm level. We then power down the systems for 3 hours, and power them up 
again. The systems work fine again.

Anybody could help?

Best Regards,

Kent

2010-03-08 Thread Kent Chong
Dear Nate,

They are TETRA  TETRAPOL systems. It seems like our Duplexer that is causing 
the problem, as the TETRA system bypasses the Combiner, the noise is removed.

At first, we were thinking it is the heat problem, but the system is installed 
in an air-condition room at 25 deg C, and the Duplexer is not heated up.

Kent

We have checked the regulation here, and the CB for UHF is 477 ~ 478Mhz (1 Mhz 
bandwidth). It is not sufficient for trunking operation (Tx/Rx separation of

It seems that trunked radio could not operate in CB band.

Please tell the rest of the world what YOU'RE CB band is.

Tetra equipment usually covers a specific band of frequencies in the

at 800, 900, and 450-470 MHz [http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ TETRA]

If you want each signal, of the 16 signals, to be 0 dBm (1 mW)  output capable 
then the amplifier has to be capable of 16 squared times 1 mW or 256 
milliwatts. This is the peak envelope power that can be present at any one time 
in the amplifier with 16 signals present.
So the amplifier would need to be able to handle a little over +24dBm with a 
single signal (256mW)
 
With only 2 signals of 1 mW each the peak envelope power would be 2 squared 
(2x2) or 4 mW that the amplifier would need to handle or +6dBm.
 
It is the number of signals squared times the power of one of the signals 
assuming that all the signal levels are the same.
This is exactly the same thing as if it was an SSB linear amplifier and you 
were testing it with multiple tones.

It appears that your amplifier is doing what you should expect.

An amplifier's power handling capability, compression point, etc. are 
rated based on amplification of a single sinusoid. When multiple 
signals are present at the amplifier input, the total output power of 
the amplifier does not change, hence the power available per channel 
decreases as the number of input signals increases. 

Also, since multiple independent signals will combine randomly, crest 
factor issues further decrease the available power per channel in 
order to keep the amplifier output below clipping.

This is a common issue in the design of signal enhancement products 
such as BDA's used to provide coverage extension for trunking and 
cellular radio systems.

[Repeater-Builder] Bi-directional Amplifer

2007-07-24 Thread Kent Chong
Good day everybody,
 
For an off-air repeater, we normal use bi-direction amplifier (BDA). A BDA is 
constructed using two amplifiers for uplink and downlink, interconnected with 
two duplexers (or circulators) at the front end. In order to prevent the BDA 
from looping oscillation, the duplexer (circulators) must provide sufficient 
isolation.
 
We have built such BDA; however, we face the oscillation problem. We are 
thinking of breaking the BDA into two parts: uplink and downlink. And we 
amplify uplink and downlink separately. In this way, we need four duplexers (or 
circulators). Would this method work? Anybody could advise?

Kent, 
It would be beneficial to know exactly what you wish to achieve, and to 
know more about your project/requirement s so that I can be of more assistance.
The VX-4200 is a very versatile radio and can preform numerous remote 
control functions.
 
Cheers

Dear Gareth,
 
We are using VX-4200 series and ICOM IC-F521 or F621 radio. Would like to know 
more how you do it. We know the VX-4200 has a DB15. How do we control the radio 
via the audio line?
 
Best Regards,
 
Chong Kwan Meng

Vertex Standard VX-2200 and 4200 series radios can be channel changed via BCD 
addressible  pins from the rear sub DB15.
We utilise a UHF link radio (VX-2200 or 4200) to send 5 Tone commands that 
can be addressed via a configurable BCD output that can change the frequency 
and of course pass through the appropriate audio.
 
Let me know if this is the down the track that you are interested in, and I can 
supply you more info.

Some info can be found on the Midian site in pdf at the following link

http://www.midians. com/pdf/tone_ signaling. pdf

Telex has some info on their site as well, but most common commercial 
gear only interfaces to certain radios for multiple channel control 
otherwise you are limited to one two or four channel remotes.
