Channel A IF (637-2650-( )) 1. DESCRIPTION Channel A IF 637-2650 ), shown in figure 1, is a 2. layer planar card with 56-pin edge-on connector (2 layers, 28 pins each). The channel A if eard has sub- miniax rf connectors for connecting to channel B if ut (J1), 9.45-MHz receive input (J2), 9.9-MHz injec- tion input (J3), channel B if output (J4), 450-kHz in- jection input (J5), and 450-KHz receive if input (J6). The channel A if card consists of filter control, channel A if, channel A audio detector, and channel A AGC circuits, Channel A IF Figure 1 an Rockwell International instructions Coline Tlacommunestons Products Ovsion ‘523-0767962-003217 3rd Edition, 1 January 1979 ‘The channel A if configuration follows: a, 637-2650-001, FLL has 2.75-kHz bandwidth (250 to 3000 Hz, USB). bb, 637-2650-002, FLI has 3.05-kHz bandwidth (250 to 3300 Hz, USB). , 637-2650-008, FLI has 3.10-kKHz bandwidth (300 to 3400 Hz, USB). -2650-004, reserved. . 637-2650-005, FLI has 5.80-kHz bandwidth (200 to 6000 Hz, USB). 2. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 2.1 General ‘The channel A if receives the 9.45-MHz receive if in- put; mixes it with a 9.9-MHz fixed injection signal; filters the resulting 450-kHiz receive if signal; and provides (1) 450-kHz receive if output, (2) AM audio output, (3) a product detected channel A SSB audio output, and (4) AGC control signals. 2.2 Bandpass Filter Control Circuits (Refer to figure 2.) ‘The channel A if provides filter selection for receive if, signals. Filter selection is initiated by the mode con- trol signal, bandwidth control signal, and/or rf transmit signal. This means only that these signals are applied to the channel A if card to initiate filter selection and does not reflect a mode of operation, selection of a bandwidth, or transmission of an rf signal.

When strapped, 86 and 1-4: FL8 (16-kHz pad) is selected when an FL8 (16 kHz) enable signal is applied to the channel A if card. FLS (A) is selected on A2 filter board when an FL3 (A) enable signal is applied to channel A if card (A2 is optional board). PL2 (LSB), FLA (B), FLS (C), FL (D), and FL7(E) are selected when the associated enable signal is applied to the channel A if card. These filters are mounted (if used) on the optional A2 filter board. 2.3 Channel A IF Circuits (Refer to figure 3.) ‘The channel A if card receives 9.45-MHz receive if through a buffer and a 9.45-MHz filter. The 9.45-MHz_ receive if is mixed in an FET mixer with a 9.9-MHz fixed injection signal and supplies a 450-kHz if fre- quency to the bandpass filter networks. Bandpass filters are located on the channel A if card, the AZ filter board, and/or an associated channel B if card. After mode/bandwidth selection, the 450-kHz if signal is supplied through the associated bandpass filter and amplified. The amplified 450 kHiz is thenws a amoy maa aT ¥ uu, 100 3 198 = a a wes HT teh fentfet [Ty UES RES ES — ol auvoe waits 2v ve | H at ZO6L9L0-€z9 suonONAsUI (ae est onea receive if amplifier as an external 450-kHsz receive if output, an audio amplifier to an AM audio detector, and/or the SSB audio product detector. The AM audio amplifier detects the audio and provides an AM audio output. The SSB product detector receives the receive if and a 450-kHz injection and supplies a product detected SSB audio output. 24 AGI C Circuits (Refer to figure 4.) Channel A if is received by the AGC input amplifier. ‘The AGC input amplifier and associated AGC time constant switches develop the AGC level and decay time to be used by the receiver. The AGC level is, amplified and applied through rf gain amplifier and supplied to the if performance monitor and AGC out- put amplifier. The if AGC and rf AGC signals are developed and supplied to the associated attenuator circuits. With the AGC control in the SLOW position, only the AGC time constant amplifier and AGC time constant switch are enabled and establish a 1.0- second AGC decay time. (The AGC to amplifier and AGC to switch are enabled for all AGC functions.) instructions 623-0767962 With the AGC control in the FAST position, the AGC fast switch is enabled reducing the time constant of the AGC circuits and establishing a 0.1-second AGC decay time. With the AGC control in the OFF posi tion, the output of the AGC input amplifier is di abled and removed from the input of the AGC amplifier. With the receiver in remote control and a crowbar enable applied, a remote frequency change enables the crowbar switch and reduces the AGC time eons- tant and establishes the AGC decay time at about 2 milliseconds. The crowbar function is used for fast frequency hopping or seanning operation under proc- essor control, ‘The gain of the rf gain amplifier is controlled by @ local rf gain control signal. The de voltage level applied to the noninverting input of the rf gain amplifier establishes its gain. The remote rf gain con- trol signal establishes the minimum gain output of the rf gain amplifier.

R143 and temperature compensating network are used to keep the if/rf AGC outputs constant throughout the temperature range. 2.5 Differential Output Operational Amplifier 351-1050-030 (Refer to figure 5.) ‘The 351-1050-030 is a wide-band general-purpose operational amplifier that features both different inputs and outputs.

PARTS LIST/DIAGRAMS This paragraph assists in identification, requisition, and issuance of parts and in maintenance of equip- ment. A parts location illustration, schematic 23instructions 523-0767962 diagram, parts list tabulation, and modification history are included in the schematic diagram (figures 11 and 12). The parts location illustration is a design engineering drawing that shows exact component placement on the circuit cards. Use the reference designator indicated on schematic and parts location diagram to locate parts in the parts list tabulation. The Collins part number and descrip- tion are listed for each reference designator. Modifications are identified by an alphanumeric iden- tifier assigned to each design change. These iden- tifiers are referenced in the DESCRIPTION column of the parts list in parentheses and on the schematic diagram inside an arrow that points at the change. Each change relates to the revision identifier (REV) 4 stamped on the circuit eard/subassembly and i in the EFFECTIVITY column of the modif history. Listed below are the circuit cards/subassemblies with the latest effectivity covered by these instructions.
