The PPS-100 Pre/Postselector permits operation of co-located receivers and transmitters on frequencies separated by as little as 10%. When used with receivers, the unit functions as a preselector, providing an additional front end selectivity stage. This reduces the receiver desensitization and overload that would normally occur in the presence of strong adjacent RF transmissions. The unit is used as a postselector with transmitters. It rejects spurious outputs and broadband noise in the transmit signal before it reaches the power amplifier, thereby limiting interference to neighboring receivers. The PPS-100 performs both functions with a transceiver; it follows the radio's keyline and swithes between the preselector and postselector modes. The PPS-100 operates from 1.6 to 29.99 MHz. The unit offers a selectivity of 40 dB typical at 10% from the nominal tuned frequency, with an ultimate rejection of 70 dB typical. The input and output both have a norminal in-band impeddance of 50 ohms. The unit accepts frequency input 10 kHz increments, automatically tracking the radio's operating frequency via either serial (RS-232/422) or parallel BCD frequency information from its companion radio. Tuning time is 10 milliseconds maximum, making the PPS-100 suitable for Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) or Adaptive Applications. No octave or sub-octave filters are used. The Pre/Postselector offers two levels of gain; the level may be selected remotely or via the unit's front panel. The unit enters a Protection Mode whenever there a Protection Mode whenever there is an extreme RF overload. In this mode, the antenna port is open circuited, while the unit's internal input is grounded. A Bypass Mode can also be selected either via the front panel or remotely; the unit automatically switches to this mode while the internal self-test is in progress and when it is controlling radio switches to a frequency outside of the 1.6 to 30 MHz coverage range. Front panel LEDs signal the unit's present operating mode. The PPS-100 is housed in a 1.75"x19" rack mount package. Standard opaeration is from 115/230 VAC or from 12/24 VDC. |
