SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Software Versions and Naming There are various associated items of Software (SW) required for the SRM9000 radio and programmer to operate. This section simply defines the naming rules of the SW files to allow identification and conformity. This allows different versions of SW to be distributed and co-exist without confusion.

SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ECEIVER Refer to Figure 3-1. Front End Filters and RF Amplifier 3.1.1 The receiver input signal from the antenna passes through the harmonic filter and antenna T/R switch. With the mobile in receive mode, diodes D580, D582 and D583 in the antenna switch are reverse biased allowing the receiver input signal to be coupled through to the receiver front-end with minimal loss.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Receiver Audio Processing 3.1.4 The baseband audio from the IQ Demodulator is applied to a differential amplifier (U941A/ U941B) that converts the balanced demodulator I and Q output signals to unbalanced inputs for the CODEC (U800).
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Power Control 3.2.2 The final output power is stabilised by a power control feedback loop. A printed circuit transmission line, L561, resistor R560, diodes D561A and D561B, and other associated components, form the power detector. Comparator U551A and associated components provide the power setting and power control functions.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL REQUENCY YNTHESISER General 3.3.1 Refer to Figure 3-3. The frequency synthesiser consists of the RX VCO, the second local oscillator VCO (90MHz), loop filters, varactor positive bias generator, reference oscillator, external divider and an integrated fractional N phase locked loop IC (U721).
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL The divided reference signal is differentiated and discharges C778 via Q771, after which Q771 is turned off allowing C778 to recharge via constant current source Q772. The Schmitt Trigger comprising Q774, Q775 and Q776, converts the modulation combined with the sawtooth ramp, to a square wave output, the duty cycle of which is controlled by the ramp slope and modulation.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL ONTROL Refer to Figure 3-4. DSP and PLA 3.4.1 The SRM9000 transceiver operates under the control of a DSP (U201) and PLA (U300) combination that, together with a number of other dedicated devices, perform all the operational and processing functions required by the radio.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Analog voltages to be monitored such as PLL Loop Voltage (LOOP_VOLTS), battery voltage (BAT_SENSE), transmitter current (CURRENT_SENSE) and external sense (EXT_SENSE) are connected to the inverting inputs. The analog voltages are compared with the ramp voltage as they increase, and the comparator switches at the point where the input voltage exceeds the ramp.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL OWER UPPLIES Power On Function 3.6.1 The unregulated 13.8V DC input (13V8_UNSW_F) is routed directly to all high current devices and is then switched via FET (Q900) to provide BAT_SW supply for all other circuits. The output from Q900 feeds three low dropout series regulators and switched battery voltage.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL ALIGNMENT (LEVEL 3 SERVICE ONLY) GENERAL Caution Preparing the radio for alignment will erase from the radio all customer PMR and Trunking configuration data (channel, signalling information etc). The only data retained by the Alignment Tool is the factory alignment data for the radio (DAC settings for Tx power, front-end tuning, etc).
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Calibration sequence On a set that has not previously been calibrated or in which the calibration has been corrupted, preset parameters should be initially loaded into the radio for optimum alignment, after which the calibration steps must be carried out in the following order.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Preset Parameters 4.1.3 The table below defines the preset alignment settings for the radio DAC’s. These will be programmed into the radio prior to performing an initial alignment. The Fixed values are not altered by the alignment adjustments whereas the Adjustable values are used as starting points for alignment where the radio has not been calibrated previously, or where the calibration has been corrupted.

SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Calibration procedure Select the VCO DAC page. Select PTT with no modulation. Select Auto Align. The Synth DAC Tx slider will automatically adjust its value for each transmitter alignment frequency to set the VCO loop filter value between 87 and 93.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL TCXO DAC Alignment 4.1.14 General The optimum radio case temperature for TCXO alignment is around 25°C although a temperature between 20°C and 30°C is permissible. If the radio has been allowed to exceed this range during previous transmit cycles, it should be allowed to cool until it is within the permissible range.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Rx Front End DAC Alignment 4.1.15 Calibration procedure Ensure that the TCX0 Alignment has been done before proceeding with this section. Select the Rx/Tx Filter page. Select Open Mute. Set the Volume slider to 15. Speaker audio should now be visible on the Scope. If required readjust the Volume slider to a suitable level.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Tx Filter DAC Alignment 4.1.16 General This filter should be set so that the Tx spurious emission at 180MHz above the carrier frequency is adequately notched. Calibration procedure Note. This step is only required if Tx Filter DAC values have been corrupted.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL RSSI Calibration 4.1.17 Calibration procedure Select the RSSI Cal page. Set the Signal Generator for a RF output level of -90dBm and 3kHz deviation at the specified frequency. Activate the Store RSSI button. The receiver RSSI threshold setting is calibrated.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Mute DAC Adjustment 4.1.18 Note. This adjustment has default setting of 1000/2600 and should not need changing except for specific requirements. Calibration procedure Select the Mute/TCXO page and select Open Mute. Set the RF signal generator to the receiver alignment frequency, and adjust the RF level such that the desired mute opening SINAD (typically 10dB SINAD) is achieved.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Tx Power DAC Alignment 4.1.19 General The transmitter output power can be programmed to three power ranges: 1W, 5W and 27.5W by the appropriate setting. Note 1: Care should be taken not to set the output power and hence supply current to excessive levels, ie.
SRM9000X8 800MHz SERVICE MANUAL Select the 5W power level. Adjust the Tx Final Value slider for a power output of 5W. Repeat step 8 for the remaining 3 Channels (2, 1& 0). Select the 27.5W power level. Adjust the Tx Final Value slider for a power output of 27.5W.
