COMMUNICATIONS
**** Hidden Message ***** <P>COMMUNICATIONS - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION<BR>1. General<BR>A. The airplane communication systems consist of: high frequency (HF), very high frequency<BR>(VHF) communication systems, selcal system, passenger address (PA) system, service<BR>interphone system, flight and ground crew call systems, flight interphone system, audio<BR>selecting system, and voice recorder system. They provide facilities for air/ground and air/radio<BR>communication, a system for recording such communications, plus air-crew intercom, air<BR>crew/ground crew intercom, and passenger address and entertainment systems (Fig. 1).<BR>SELCAL is a passive radio alerting system.<BR>B. The major components of the HF, VHF, Selcal, PA and interphone systems, including audio<BR>accessory unit and paralleling network, are installed on electronic equipment rack E2 in the<BR>electronic equipment compartment. The voice recorder is in the aft cargo compartment.<BR>Systems control panels are installed on the control stand and overhead panel P5 where the<BR>pilots' have convenient access to them. External entrance into the electronic equipment<BR>compartment may be gained through an access door located immediately aft of the nose wheel<BR>well.<BR>C. The audio accessory unit contains modules for various communication systems. Amplifier<BR>modules for the flight interphone system and service interphone system are installed in the unit.<BR>A module for the passenger address system contains diodes and loading resistors. Loading<BR>resistors are installed on a module for systems which may be monitored through the audio<BR>selecting system. Potentiometers are installed on the front of the unit for adjusting PA sidetone<BR>and flight and service interphone system amplifiers. Detailed description of the individual<BR>modules is covered in the description of the associated system.<BR>D. The majority of the communication systems circuit breakers are on load control center P6,<BR>which is on the bulkhead behind the first officer's seat. Only the VHF-1, HF-1 and selcal-1<BR>systems circuit breakers are on load control center P18, which is on the bulkhead behind the<BR>captain's seat. System power is taken from the dc battery bus, the dc standby bus, unswitched<BR>ac electronic bus No. 1, switched dc electronic bus No. 2 and ac-dc unswitched electronic<BR>buses No. 2. The switched electronic buses are energized through electronic bus No. 1 and<BR>electronic bus No. 2 master switches. Therefore, systems on the switched buses may be<BR>quickly isolated from the main power buses in case of emergency (Fig. 2). The master switches<BR>are on circuit breaker panel P6.<BR>E. Static dischargers are installed on all airplanes to reduce precipitation static interference in their<BR>radio receivers. They are located on the wing, vertical fin, rudder, and elevator trailing edges<BR>and tips. Four dischargers are installed on each wing and on the vertical fin and rudder. Three<BR>dischargers are installed on each elevator</P><P>Airplanes with Collins 628T-1 Transceivers<BR>1. General<BR>A. Two high frequency (HF) communication systems are installed in the airplane. The HF<BR>communication systems provide amplitude modulated and single sideband voice<BR>communication between the airplane and ground or other airplanes. Communication in<BR>the 2.800 to 26.999 MHz frequency range on any of 24,200 channels may be accomplished.<BR>Propagation characteristics of the HF band are most suitable for long distance communications.<BR>B. Each HF communication system is composed of one transceiver, antenna coupler, coupler<BR>status annunciator panel and a single antenna. The HF control panels are installed on the<BR>electronic control stand. A single flush-mounted antenna is located in the vertical fin leading<BR>edge. The antenna couplers are installed inside the vertical fin leading edge approximately<BR>under the antenna. The transceivers are installed on electronic equipment rack E2. The<BR>component locations are shown in Fig. 1.<BR>C. The HF communication system control panels enable the desired communication channel to be<BR>selected and the system to be turned on or off. Sidetone is connected to both HF system audio<BR>switches in the flight interphone system. The antenna coupler unit matches the characteristic<BR>antenna line impedance to the impedance of the transceiver at the particular frequency on<BR>which the system is operating. The tuner control unit and tuner will automatically keep the<BR>voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) to a level of 1.3 to 1.0 or better thus providing the best<BR>possible power transfer. Communication on the HF system is completed through use of<BR>microphones and headphones of the flight interphone system (Ref 23-52-0).<BR>D. The HF communication system uses 3-phase, 115-volt, 400-Hz ac and 28-volt dc power<BR>obtained from load control center P18 and P6 respectively. AC power is obtained through a<BR>single 3-phase circuit breaker.<BR>2. Control Panel<BR>A. The HF control panels can select any one of 24,200 channels, spaced 1 kHz apart in the 2-<BR>to 30-MHz range. Each panel contains four frequency selector knobs, a frequency display<BR>window, RF SENS knob and a mode selector switch. The left frequency selector knob selects<BR>MHz, the two center knobs select 100- and 1-kHz parts and the right knob selects 1-kHz parts<BR>of the frequency. The RF SENS knob controls rf gain in the receiving section of the transceiver.<BR>The mode selector switch turns the system off (OFF), selects upper sideband (USB), and<BR>amplitude modulation (AM) modes.</P>
<P>3. HF Transceiver (628T-1)<BR>A. The transceiver is used for airborne, narrow-band upper sideband (USB), voice and data<BR>communications. It is capable of transmitting (200 watts pep output in<BR>USB and 100 watts carrier) and receiving at 2.800 to 26.999 MHz on 24,200 channels with<BR>1-kHz spacing. The transceiver consists of modules, subassemblies and a chassis assembly<BR>housed in a 3/4 ATR case. The function of the major modules and assemblies is as described<BR>below.<BR>B. The frequency synthesizer generates 19.8 kHz, 69.3-MHz, and 72.6- to 96.799-MHz signals<BR>that are derived from a 9.9-MHz frequency standard. The 19.8-kHz signal is produced by a<BR>divide-by-500 circuit and is supplied to the power supply as a switching signal. The 500-kHz<BR>signal is produced by a phase-locked loop and is supplied as a carrier to the modulator and<BR>product detector in the receiver/exciter. A harmonic generator produces the 69.3-MHz signal<BR>that is used as a mixer injection signal in the receiver/exciter. The 72.6- to 96.799-MHz signal is<BR>produced by dual phase-locked loops and is also used as a mixer injection signal in the<BR>receiver/exciter.<BR>C. The frequency module converts reentrant coded frequency data into bcd frequency data. Logic<BR>gates are used as decade decoders for the 1-, 10- and 100-kHz digits. A programmable readonly<BR>memory (PROM) is used as a decoder for the 1- and 10-MHz digits. The module also<BR>contains a frequency error detector and a frequency band decoder.<BR>D. The receiver section of the receiver/exciter module is a completely solid-state, dual-conversion<BR>receiver that receives, amplifies, and detects incoming AM and/or USB signals from 2.800<BR>to 26.999 MHz. The front end consists of a fixed tuned RF bandpass filter and an AGCcontrolled<BR>RF amplifier. Frequency translation is accomplished using 72.6- to 96.799-MHz<BR>balanced mixers. Separate AGC-controlled IF sections are used for the AM and USB signals.<BR>The receiver has both receiver and SELCAL audio amplifiers. The exciter section is a<BR>completely solid state, dual conversion exciter that produces either USB or AME<BR>(full sideband) 2.800- to 26.999-MHz signals. The initial stages are a balanced modulator<BR>and 500-kHz if amplifiers. Frequency translation is accomplished using the same mixers that<BR>are used in the receiver section. A low-pass LC filter reduces spurious signals from being<BR>amplified in the ALC (automatic load control) controlled output RF amplifier.<BR>E. The power amplifier amplifies the RF input from the exciter to a 200-watt pep level. Four stages<BR>of amplification are used, with both the driver and final amplifiers operated in push-pull<BR>configurations. Protective circuits produce the ALC signal, which is used to control the RF drive<BR>level to the input of the power amplifier. The final amplifier transistors are secured to conicalshaped<BR>mounts that fit into finned heat sinks. An internal blower provides cooling air for the<BR>power amplifier.<BR>F. The low-pass filter module consists of six filters, directional wattmeter, motor control, a tune-inprogress<BR>attenuator, and the transmit-receive relay. A 3-deck motor-driven bandswitch selects<BR>the filter required for the selected operating frequency. The directional wattmeter consists of a<BR>forward power detector and a reflected power detector. These detectors produce dc analog<BR>signals that are representative of the measured RF power levels. The motor control contains<BR>transistor switches that control dc voltage applied to the motor.</P>
<P>G. The chassis contains ac and dc power supplies, rear connectors, front panel controls and<BR>indicators and interconnect board. The front panel components include phone and microphone<BR>jacks, a SQL/LAMP TEST PUSHBUTTON, AND R/T FAULT and KEY INTERLOCK lamps. The<BR>ac power supply, mounted in the lower tray, converts 3-phase, 115-volt, 400-Hz input power<BR>into 46- and 28-volt dc power. The dc power supply, mounted in the upper tray, contains<BR>regulators that produce +5-, +10-, +11-, and +20-volt dc power. The interconnect board<BR>contains input audio amplifier, fault monitoring, and key interlock circuits.<BR>H. Front Panel Controls and Indicators<BR>(1) The front panel of the transceiver has two lamps and a pushbutton switch. The front panel<BR>of the adapter has a 2-position switch that is operated using a screwdriver.<BR>(2) The two lamps on the transceiver are the KEY INTERLOCK and R/T FAULT lamps. The<BR>KEY INTERLOCK lamp will light when keying transmitter if the external antenna coupler<BR>has failed to tune properly. When this lamp is on, transmission is inhibited. The R/T<BR>FAULT lamp will light when the internal monitoring circuit detects a transceiver fault. The<BR>faults that will light this lamp are: the frequency synthesizer is out of lock; lock transmitter<BR>power output (60 watts pep nominal threshold) in AME transmit mode; and low voltage<BR>from the +5-, +10- or +20-volt dc power supplies.<BR>(3) The pushbutton switch on the transceiver is the SQL/LAMP TEST switch. When pressed,<BR>the KEY INTERLOCK and R/T FAULT lamps should light and the squelch circuit is<BR>disabled.<BR>(4) The switch on the adapter is the SQUELCH/RF SENS switch. This switch must be<BR>positioned so that the transceiver will interface properly with the particular type of remote<BR>radio set control that is being used.<BR>4. Transceiver Adapter<BR>A. The adapter is used to adapt the transceiver, to the mounting and wiring provisions existing in<BR>present airplane configurations.<BR>5. Coupler Status Annunciator Panel<BR>A. The coupler status annunciator panel located in the electronic equipment area, contains 10<BR>indicator lights. The panel provides remote visual indications of faulty HF system operation.<BR>Five indicator lights are for HF system No. 1, and five identical indicators are for HF system<BR>No. 2. A decal adjacent to the indicator designates the system and circuit function for each set<BR>of the following five indicators:<BR>(1) COUPLER FAULT - A failure of the coupler to home or tune the circuits within 15 seconds<BR>causes the indicator light to come on.<BR>(2) RF FAULT - The following cause the indicator light to come on: transceiver malfunction,<BR>an open coaxial cable, or insufficient power. These faults all indicate a lack of RF power.<BR>(3) PRESSURE FAULT - Low pressure in the coupler causes the indicator light to come on.<BR>(4) TUNE IN PROCESS - Using the coupler in a tune mode causes the indicator light to come<BR>on.<BR>(5) OPERATE - Placing the coupler in an operate condition causes the indicator light to come<BR>on.</P>
<P>B. Each indicator has a self-test feature which operates to check the lamp when the indicator<BR>shroud is pushed in. Both sets of indicators receive 28V dc from the respective antenna coupler<BR>when power is applied to the system. When the coupler senses a fault, the sequence counter<BR>freezes and operates the fault circuit to provide a ground return that causes one of the three<BR>fault indicator lights to come on. The TUNE IN PROCESS indicator receives a ground return<BR>from the coupler to cause the indicator light to come on whenever a tuning sequence takes<BR>place. The OPERATE indicator receives a ground return after the coupler has completed a<BR>sequence of home, standby, and tune, and is in the operate condition.<BR>6. Antenna Couplers<BR>A. Two identical antenna couplers are located at approximately station 1016 just below the HF<BR>antenna vertical fin leading edge. The coupler has miniaturized transistor circuits contained in a<BR>rack-mounted pressurized case. Electrical connection is provided through two multipin<BR>connectors located on the front of the unit. The RF connection is through a coaxial plug<BR>designated RF INPUT located on the front panel. The antenna connection is at the rear of the<BR>unit.<BR>B. The pressurized case has two sections divided by an RF shield which provides thermal<BR>protection as well as RF isolation. The forward compartment contains tuning control modules, a<BR>dual servo-amplifier, and the power supplies. Integrated circuit construction is used in the<BR>servo-amplifier and tuning control modules. The rear section of the coupler (the RF<BR>compartment) contains the tuning element, a discriminator module, and an isolation amplifier.<BR>The tuning elements consist of two variable vacuum capacitors and a variable inductor,<BR>associated motors, gear trains, switches, and RF relays.<BR>C. Protection circuits in the coupler function to open the transceiver key interlock and remove RF<BR>power from the servo-amplifier circuits when any one of the following occurs:<BR>The coupler fails to home within 15 seconds.<BR>The coupler fails to tune within 15 seconds.<BR>An arc is detected in the coupler.<BR>7. Antenna<BR>A. The HF communication system transmits and receives through a flush-mounted shunt-type<BR>antenna. The antenna is located in the vertical fin leading edge. The antenna dielectric portion<BR>is constructed of fiberglass. The antenna is the metal leading edge of the vertical fin.<BR>B. The antenna conductor, which is located at a low impedance point in the circuit, acts as a type<BR>of inductive coupling so that the airframe operates as an antenna.<BR>8. Operation (Fig. 2)<BR>A. Internal transmitter excitation and receiver injection frequencies are generated by a dual-loop<BR>phase-locked digital synthesizer. The transmitter output is nominally 200 watts peak envelope<BR>power (PEP) with a maximum average power of 100 watts. During the tune cycle of the external<BR>antenna coupler, the transmitter output is nominally 50 watts. The transceiver has a dualconversion<BR>receiver that produces 200-mW received voice audio and 0.5-volt SELCAL audio<BR>outputs, and a 200-mW sidetone audio output. Operating voltages are produced by internal<BR>power supplies that operate from a 3-phase, 115-volt, 400-Hz primary source.</P> COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNICATIONS 希望多多学习
