IF DRAWER FOR THE SPECTRAL PROCESSOR

S. D. White and D. R. Schiebel

I. Introduction

The IF system consists of a Digital Interface drawer for translating a RS-422 serial bus to a

16 line parallel bus for controlling the SSB Downconverters, a phased-locked 160 MHZ LO

distribution drawer, a 5 MHZ buffer and distribution module, a power supply drawer, a

Wavetek frequency synthesizer, and eight SSB Downconverters. The system parameters are

set by a rack controller via a serial bus and then monitored. The system accepts signals in the

100 MHZ to 500 MHZ frequency range and demodulates them using a single-sideband scheme

to a maximum baseband frequency of 40 MHZ. All local oscillators and frequency

synthesizers are phased locked to an external 5 MHZ reference. All the drawers are housed in

a standard rack.

II. Digital Interface

A. Introduction

The digital logic that controls each SSB Downconverter can be divided into two

sections. The first section is a small chassis (BUS DRIVER) that contains a "VLBA

MONITOR AND CONTROL CARD" (vlba c/m) and a logic card to drive the "IF RACK

ADDRESS AND DATA BUS". The vlba c/m caid gets setup information from the "RACK

CONTROL COMPUTER" over a RS422 serial bus. The second section is a logic card

located in each IF drawer. It gets setup information from the IF RACK ADDRESS AND

DATA BUS. The circuit analysis for the logic card is contained in the SSB Downconverter

section.

B. Detailed Logic Description Bus Driver

The vlba c/m card in the bus driver chassis provides the link between the rack control

computer and a logic card to drive a address and data bus inside the IF rack. A detailed

description of the operation of the vlba c/m card will not be presented here, it can be found

in vlba memo number 302.

The logic on page 1 of "ADDRESS/DATA BUS DRIVER CARD" as shown in Figure

5 drives the address and data bus in the IF rack. The address is a buffered version of

the"RelativeAddress" from the vlba c/m card. The data bus is more complicated in that it is

a bi- directional bus. In the write mode data from the vlba c/m card CON/MON bus is

1

Page 6: NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY - library.nrao.edu · 16 line parallel bus for controlling the SSB Downconverters, a phased-locked 160 MHZ LO distribution drawer, a 5 MHZ buffer

buffered and applied to the data bus in the IF rack. In the read mode data from the IF rack

data bus is latched in two latches then applied to the vlba c/m CON/MON bus.

The last page of the logic drawings contain the logic necessary to communicate with the

vlba c/m card and control the timing of the IF rack address and data bus. The following is a

list of signals used by the vlba c/m card.

DEV REQ This line is normally low and goes high when the

vlba c/m card is requesting a read or write

sequence by the interface.

DEV ACK This is a reply line from the interface to the

vlba c/m card. It is normally low and goes high to

indicate the requested action has been completed.

RD/WR- Used to indicate a read or write sequence.

Normally low which indicates a write, goes high

for a read.

ID REQ Issued by the vlba c/m card requesting the

interface to put its ID on the con/mon data bus.

In our system the A rack has an ID of 4 and the B

rack has and ID of 8.

The timing of the read or write operation is controlled by a shift register U21. During

a write operation the vlba c/m data is passed to the IF rack data bus then 4-6 micro sec later

the data will be latched in the selected IF drawer by the WR pulse.

The read operation timing is such that after the address has been placed on the address

bus the read pulse (U25 pins 3 & 4) will go active. At the leading edge of the RD pulse the

selected IF drawer will place its data on the IF rack data bus. On the trailing edge (about 2

micro sec. later) of the RD pulse the data on the IF rack data bus will be latched in U19 &

U24. Then 2 micro sec. later the vlba c/m card is informed (dev ack) that data is available.

On the trailing edge of the RD pulse the selected IF drawer will remove its data from the IF

rack data bus.

Two time stretched pulses are generated to drive led's to indicate read and write

activity on the IF rack data bus.

For RFI rejection it was necessary to put a ferrite bead on each address and data line

and connect a 1500 pf capacitor to ground.

This logic is contained on a standard "SMALL SHALLOWAY CARD" which had a 40

pin ribbon connector attached to the top of the card. A 40 pin ribbon cable runs between

each IF drawer and the Bus Driver Chassis.

III. 160 MHZ PLL

An oven controlled Vectron C0233 VHBR crystal oscillator is phased locked to a 5 MHZ

reference. The circuit diagram is shown in Figure 6. A lock indicator is displayed on the front

panel. The output is amplified by a QB-210 amplifier and filtered by a 160 MHZ bandpass

filter. The LO is split by an Olektron HJ-308V 8-way divider. The second and third

harmonics are less than 50 DBc at an output level of+13 DBm.

IV. 5 MHZ Buffer

The buffer contains three of the circuits shown in Figure 7. The buffer provides 12 outputs

at a gain of 0 DB. The measured stability performance of the 12 outputs was an average of 4

ps/SC.

V. Wavetek Frequency Synthesizer

An operations manual is available for the Wavetek Model 2200 frequency synthesizer.

VI. Power Supply

The power supply drawer contains a +24 V supply, a +15 V supply, a + 5V supply, and a

-15 V supply. The power supplies are manufactured by Power One. The ratings for the

supplies are: +24 V @ 2.4 A, +15 V @ 15 A, +5 V @ 35A, and -15 V @ 9A. A table of

total power consumption for the rack is given in Table 1. The power is available through a 90

pin Elco connector, and the pin assignments are shown in Table 2.

VII. SSB Downconverter

Page 8: NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY - library.nrao.edu · 16 line parallel bus for controlling the SSB Downconverters, a phased-locked 160 MHZ LO distribution drawer, a 5 MHZ buffer

A. System Analysis

The SSB Downconverter accepts RF frequencies in the range from 100 MHZ to 500

MHZ and downconverters the signal to a maximum baseband frequency of 40 MHZ using

a single sideband demodulation scheme. A block diagram of the SSB downconverter is

shown in Figure 8. The connector assignment is shown in Table 3. The SSB

downconverter is externally set using a VLBA monitor and control card. An internal

digital card provides the interface to the monitor and control card. A 0 - 63 DB variable

attenuator at the input adjusts the output power level to any desired level. The input signal

is split and square law detected. A logarithmic amplifier drives an LCD located on the

front panel which displays the power level at the RF input of the mixer in DBm. Also, an

overload detection circuit detects signal levels greater than -10 DBm at the mixer input The

input signal is converted to an IF frequency of 160 MHZ using an inverting upperside LO

injection scheme in the RF downconverter module. The frequency range of the internal

synthesizer is 170 MHZ to 500 MHZ with a 10 KHZ resolution. A doubler extends the

range to 660 MHZ with a 20 KHZ resolution. The LO must be set to convert the desired

40 MHZ bandwidth signal in the RF input into an IF frequency range of 120 MHZ to 160

MHZ when the upper sideband is selected or an IF frequency range of 160 MHZ to 200

MHZ when the lower sideband is selected. For RF frequencies in the range 100 MHZ to

355 MHZ, an image spectrum exits; therefore, a lowpass filter in the RF input rejects the

image frequencies. A SSB demodulator converts the IF signal to a baseband signal from 8

KHZ to 40 MHZ while rejecting the undesired sideband by approximately 28 DB. The

baseband signal is then filtered by a filter bank having a range from a maximum of 40 MHZ

varying in octave steps to a minimum of 78 KHZ. The signal is split with one path being

amplified by 37 DB and output to the A/D converters while the other path is square law

detected and processed by analog circuits in order to generate a pulse approximately equal

to the width of the interference. The detected signal is also input to the voltage-to-

frequency converter in order to monitor the power output. The output amplifier is capable

of providing a power level of +5 DBm with no compression for band limited Gaussian

noise.

B. Circuit Analysis

1. RF Downconverter

The circuit diagram of the RF Downconverter is shown in figure 9. The RF

downconverter consists of three QB-104 amplifiers, a CDB-223 mixer, a DS-109

power divider, and a overload detection circuit. The RF to IF gain is approximately 21

DB. The maximum RF power into the RF port of the mixer is 0 DBm; therefore, the

overload detection circuit is adjusted to toggle high when -10 DBm is applied to the

mixer to allow for 10 DB of headroom. A Teledyne DPDT relay selects the input

bandwidth of either 355 MHZ or 540 MHZ. A 235 lowpass filter at the output rejects

all unwanted harmonics of the LO and RF inputs.

2. Single Sideband Demodulator

The circuit diagram for the SSB Demodulator is shown in Figure 10. The design

goal for rejection of the unwanted sideband is 40 DB for signals in the 8 KHZ to 40

MHZ frequency range. The theoretical analysis for the image rejection is presented in a

paper by Archer, Granlund, and Mauzy.* The block diagram of the circuit. Figure 1, is

essentially the same except a pre-conversion to an IF of 160 MHZ eliminates the need

for a quadrature LO over a broad band. Also John Granlund developed a program to

compensate for the cross talk effects and adjust the values to achieve equal ripple in the

image response. The theoretical image response is shown in Figure 2. The values for

the phase shift network were computed for an image rejection of 52 DB with equal

ripple over a band from 8 KHZ to 40 MHZ. The tolerance for error in amplitude and

phase from quadrature in the signal paths is computed to be -0.18 DB and -1.15°

respectively.

The circuit is similar to the circuit in the Model IV autocorrelator.2 The technique

of winding the shield of semirigid coax on pot cores to construct the inductors in order

to generate a floating signal was used. A shunt current feedback amplifier was added

5

Page 10: NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY - library.nrao.edu · 16 line parallel bus for controlling the SSB Downconverters, a phased-locked 160 MHZ LO distribution drawer, a 5 MHZ buffer

after the quadrature mixers to improve signal to noise ratio. The pre-conversion

eliminates the need for a quadrature hybrid: a coax delay was used for the 160 MHZ

LO. The network rejected the image frequencies a minimum of 25 DB. The source of

error was attributed to the difference in conversion loss and phase match between the

quadrature mixers. An increase in LO power improves the VSWR of the mixers

thereby improving the match between mixers. However, the distortion introduced to

the LO by the increased power increases the uncertainty in measurement of coax needed

to achieve quadrature and also increases the LO feedthru. Therefore, no net gain in

rejection is obtained from the improved match. The desired image rejection may be

achieved from more carefully selecting the quadrature mixers if time and expense

allows. A typical measurement for image rejection in shown in Figure 3.

3. Filter Bank and Relay Tree

The circuit diagram for the relay tree and filter bank is shown in Figure 11. The

circuit is designed with 3 DB attenuators and 18 DB amplifiers such that the output

level is constant for any bandwidth selected. The amplifiers are MC 1733 video

amplifiers. The digital card is designed to select the proper relays for the filter chosen.

4. Interference Detector

The circuit diagram for the interference detector is shown in figure 12. The input is

amplified 30 DB by a MC 1733 video amplifier. The output amplifier has a dual output

where one output is input to the analog to digital amplifier and the other output is square

law detected by a BD-4 tunnel diode. The power input to the tunnel diode is given by:

pdiodetDBm] := PoutP^™] " 24.4 [DB] [1]

The diode voltage in the square law region can be predicted by the equation:

Vdiode^CV] = Pdiode[PW] ttjlV/jlW] [2]

where £ = 2.03 [JlV/jiW] is the conversion constant When the output

power level is -8 DBm, the power input to the detector diode is 0.575 \1 W. The

detected voltage is 1 mV. Because an op-amp circuit amplifies the signal by -240, the

output to the voltage-to-frequency converter is -0.240 V.

The detected signal is also filtered by a lowpass filter and then amplified by two

separate op-amp circuits. The output of the one op-amp is input into a fast integrator,

and the output of the other op-amp circuit is input to a slow integrator. The slow

8

Page 13: NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY - library.nrao.edu · 16 line parallel bus for controlling the SSB Downconverters, a phased-locked 160 MHZ LO distribution drawer, a 5 MHZ buffer

integrator provides a reference for a differentiating difference amplifier so that slight

changes in the power level will not cause false detection of interference. The slow

integrator has 9 time constants selectable by external relays. The values of RC time

constants available for the slow integrator are 1 x lO"^* s, 3 x 10"4 s, 1 x 10""* s, 3 x

10"3 s, 1 x 10"2 s, 3 x 10"2 s, 1 x 10'1 s, 3 x 10'1 s, 1 s. The RC time constants for

the fast integrator are 1 x lO-6 s, 3 x 10"6 s, 1 x lO-5 s, 3 x 10"5 s, 1 x 10"4 s, 3 x

10"4 s, 1 x lO"3 s, 3 x lO"3 s, 1 x 10'2 s. An external dc level is input to the slow

integrator through a germanium diode which clips the detected signal and prevents the

slow integrator from saturating. When a pulse is detected, the long time constant of the

slow integrator lengthens the rise time of the pulse. Since the rise time of the detected

interference from the fast integrator is faster, a difference signal is detected and then

amplified by the differentiating amplifier. The differentiating amplifier configuration

was selected to avoid problems of DC offset The pulse width at the output of the

differentiating amplifier is proportional to the difference in time constants of the two

integrators. A CMP-01 comparator with hysteresis generates a pulse from the output

of the difference amplifier. An external dc level input to the comparator determines the

amplitude of the detected interference necessary to produce a detection pulse. The

comparator output is input to a differential TTL line driver.

The noise voltages at various nodes in the circuit can be predicted by equations for

square law detection of Gaussian noise. The detected rms noise at the output of the

op-amp circuit is given by:

vnns=Aovdiode 'fc/Ao hf 2Tlf) [3]

where A V ^ is the predetection bandwidth, Zjf is the postdetection time constant,

and A0 is the gain of the the op-amp circuit. The predetection bandwidth is

determined by the filter bank, the postdetection time constant is 4.44 x 10"'s, and A0

is 20. The clipper voltage can be set by the equation:

Page 14: NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY - library.nrao.edu · 16 line parallel bus for controlling the SSB Downconverters, a phased-locked 160 MHZ LO distribution drawer, a 5 MHZ buffer

VcUpper[DCV] = Voffset-Vrms(2.05)-AVmargin + Vger [4]

where Vgerm = 0.2V, AVmargin is the voltage limit of the signal to be clipped,

30(1 voffset = ^^diode + vnom) with vnom ^"g a DC offset of ^ ©P-amp

circuit of 1.34 x 10'^ V. The DC offset is introduced so the DC output of the op-amp

is zero when an output power level of -8 DBm exists. The noise level at the output of

the differentiating difference amplifier can be determined from the geometric mean of

the slow integrator noise and the fast integrator noise. The equation was determined

from theoretical predictions of the noise and empirically from data taken for gain of the

integrators and amplifiers. The equation for threshold level will produce a digital signal

with a duty cycle less than 1%. The equation is:

VthresholdtDCV] - [ Vdi0de(582) / (V^hf > 1 * W*s + l/*f> • M

where trs and Zf are the time constants for the slow and fast integrators respectively.

The comparator has a hysteresis loop that is 50 mV to reduce edge jitter on the

output pulse.

The equations for the comparator are:

V^Vthreshold^/ R2 + Rl) + Vol(Ri/ R2 + R1) [6]

v2 = Vthreshold 0*2 / ^2 + *1> + Voh(Rl / ^2 + Rl) [7]

vm = (v2-vl)/2 »]

where Vol = 0.41 V, Voh= 5.0 V, ^ = 10 KQ, and R2 = 1MQ. Then Vm = 24

mV. Therefore a threshold level of -Vm will produce a digital signal with a 50 % duty

cycle.

5. Analog to Digital Amplifier (AD Amp)

The circuit diagram for the AD amp is shown in Figure 13. The AD amplifier is a

two stage amplifier with the first stage being a shunt current feedback amplifier and the

output stage being a class A push pull amplifier. The circuit was designed for

maximum power output with minimum distortion. The loaded gain of the circuit is

12.8 DB with a 1 DB compression point at 13.47 DBm. The amplifier specifications

for distortion levels measured at a + 5 DBm output level is -60 DBc for the second

harmonic and -58 DBc for the third harmonicThe return loss at the input port is -38 DB

and -33 DB at the output port for frequencies less than 40 MHZ.

6. Voltage to Frequency Converter and Total Power Monitor

The circuit diagram for the V/F converter and the TP monitor are shown in Figure

14. The V/F converter produces a 10 KHZ digital signal with an input voltage of-

0.240V. The voltage to frequency conversion is accurate to 1% over a± 6 DB range.

The design equations are:

C1[pf] = [33xl06/fmax]-30 [9]

f0[HZ] = Vin/7.5(R1)(C1) [10]

C2 ftif] = lO2/^ [11]

where fmax = 30 KHZ, Vin=-0.240 V, and ^ =10KHZ. The LO is divided by 256

11

Page 16: NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY - library.nrao.edu · 16 line parallel bus for controlling the SSB Downconverters, a phased-locked 160 MHZ LO distribution drawer, a 5 MHZ buffer

by a Motorola MC 12074 ECL chip. The output is level shifted and converted to a

differential TTL signal.

7. Logarithmic Amplifier

The schematic for the Log amp is shown in Figure 15. The RF input is divided and

square law detected by a BD-4 diode. The detected voltage is processed by the Log

amp and level shifted in order to display the power in DBm. The equation for the Log

amp is:

Vlog = 25.7 mV (Rj + R2)/R2 In [(V^^ /Vref XR3/R4)]. [12]

From equation 2, the expression for the diode can be written as:

Pin = 10 LogCVdfcde/SO mW)] [DBm].

Also,

Therefore,

Log x = In x / In 10 .

(Rj + R2)/R2 = 16.90 [13]

and Vrcf=(R3/R4)£(lmW) [14]

which gives Vref= 1.0 V with (R3/R4) =2. The values then can be solved

and levels adjusted in order to produce a voltage which has a numerical value equal to

the power level in DBm. This value then can be displayed on an LCD meter.

8. Frequency Synthesizer

Either an external or an internal frequency synthesizer can be selected. The circuit

diagram for the selector is shown in Figure 16. The internal frequency synthesizer is

the same as used in the Mark III IF to video converter. Due to the unavailability of

parts and a change in frequency range for the SSB downconverter, the VCO and

amplifier were changed.

12

Page 17: NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY - library.nrao.edu · 16 line parallel bus for controlling the SSB Downconverters, a phased-locked 160 MHZ LO distribution drawer, a 5 MHZ buffer

The VCO changes included a replacement of three MV109 with two ZC803

varacter tunnel diodes. The low VCO now tunes over a range from 170 MHZ to 290

MHZ. Thus, the switch over point is 270 MHZ.

The amplifier for the synthesizer is shown in figure 17. The amplifier has a

minicircuits doubler which is switched into the circuit for frequencies from 500 MHZ to

660 MHZ. An external 4-pole elliptical bandpass filter was need to filter the unwanted

harmonics of the doubler. The circuit diagram and frequency response is shown in

Figure 18. The power output of the frequency synthesizer is +7 DBm ±2 DB with the

highest harmonic less than -30 DBc.

9. Digital Card

Each IF drawer contains a "LARGE SHALLOWAY CARD" connected to the IF

drawer address and data bus through a 40 pin ribbon connector attached to the top of

the card.

The basic function of the card is to decode the address bus and if it finds it is being

addressed then it will read or write data to the data bus. In addition the card contains

logic to store a copy of the setup data to be displayed by a front panel display.

The upper left hand comer of page 1 of Figure 19 contains the logic that decodes

the address. The three least significant bits of the address select one of 6 data words.

The four most significant bits of the address select which drawer is being addressed.

Each drawer address is selected through the power connector on the IF drawer. After

all decoding there are six write strobes generated, WR0- to WR5- and one read strobe

RD0-.

The logic at the bottom of page 1 is used to control the front panel display through

the use of a digi-switch.

Page 2 of the logic contains the data bus bi-directional transceivers (U48 & u52)

and the 4 X 4 register files that store a copy of the setup data to be displayed by the

front panel display. At the bottom of page 2 you will find the logic that will put two

status bits on the data bus, overload and lock. An led driver is also provided to indicate

this status on the front panel.

Latches for data word 5 will be found on page 3. Three functions are controlled by

13

Page 18: NATIONAL RADIO ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY - library.nrao.edu · 16 line parallel bus for controlling the SSB Downconverters, a phased-locked 160 MHZ LO distribution drawer, a 5 MHZ buffer

this word. The first half of the word (D0-D7) is used for integrator control, D8-D11

controls the bandwidth.

Setup words 0,3 and 4 will be found on page 4. Setup word 0 controls several

things. The first six bits D0-D5 are used to control the attenuation. Three more bits of

word 0, D8-D10 control intermode filter, upper/lower sideband and int/ext synthesizer.

All other bits of word 0 are unused. Words 3 & 4 control two D/A's, one for threshold

control (wd3) and one for clipper control (wd4). Both D/A's are set up for an output of

plus or minus 2.5 volts.

The last page of the logic drawings contain the latches for control of the frequency

synthesizer, data words 1 and 2. It should be pointed out that due to the nature of the

synthesizer (eel logic running on +5 V) the latches must be cmos, in this case we used
