DRAFT D INTRODUCTION General The SRM9000 series of FM mobile radio transceivers is designed for conventional PMR and Trunked operation in VHF and UHF radio systems. The system is available in a number of functional variants. Each variant uses the standard SRM9000 mobile transceiver, which is software configured for different control ancillaries.

SERVICE PHILOSOPHY Service Concept The SRM9000 series has been designed to provide low cost trunked and non-trunked analogue, mobile transceivers, using common core electronics, software and interfacing. It is a requirement that once the customer has purchased equipment, Simoco can follow this by providing an ongoing, high level of customer support together with a competitive and professional servicing activity.
Adjustment and Alignment There are no internal adjustments in the SRM9000. Re-programming and alignment is done with the unit installed using software tools. For servicing, the radio PCB can be operated as a...

DRAFT D Audio Frequency Response 350 to 3000Hz*, +1dB to -3dB (no CTCSS) 360 to 3000Hz*, +1dB to -3dB (with CTCSS) Figures apply for a flat audio response or a 6dB/octave de-emphasis curve (*2550Hz for 12.5kHz channel spacing) 2.5.4 Signalling CTCSS 38 standard CTCSS tones are supported plus any non prescribed tones in the range 67 to 241.8Hz.
DRAFT D Technical Description Receiver Refer Figure 3-1 3.1.1 Front End Filters and RF Amplifier The receiver input signal from the antenna passes through the antenna filter comprising L10, L11, L12 and associated tuning capacitors. With the mobile in receive mode, diodes D3, D4 and D5 in the antenna switch are reverse biased allowing the receiver input signal to be coupled through to the front end with minimal loss.
DRAFT D 3.1.3 Quadrature Demodulator Additional IF gain of approximately 30dB occurs at U401 which is a dedicated IF AGC amplifier/Quadrature Demodulator configured for single ended input and output operation. The AGC voltage for U401 is derived from the RSSI function of the DSP via AUX CTL and multiplexer U902.
DRAFT D Figure 3-2 VHF/UHF Transmitter Block Diagram An active filter comprising Q14, 17,18 and 19 provides isolation to minimise power supply noise at the PA. This is achieved by maintaining a voltage differential of approximately 1V across Q14 and indirectly filtering its gate voltage. Q14 is switched on only during transmit via R523 to minimise receiver power requirements.
DRAFT D 3.2.2 Power Control Output power is stabilised by a power control feedback loop. L1, R54, a printed circuit transmission line, D6 and associated components comprise the power detector with Q3/10, U3 and associated components providing the power setting and control sections. Forward and reverse power is sampled by the power detector and applied as a DC voltage to the inverting input of comparator U3A.
Frequency Synthesiser 3.3.1 General Refer Figure 3-3 The SRM9000 frequency synthesiser consists of individual transmitter and receiver (local oscillator) voltage controlled oscillators, loop filter, varactor negative bias generator, reference oscillator and an integrated, dual phase locked loop device U701. 3.3.2 The PLL device contains two prescalers, programmable dividers and phase comparators to provide a main and auxiliary PLL.
3.4.1 DSP and FPGA The SRM9000 transceiver operates under the control of a DSP (U102) and FPGA (U106) combination which together with a number of other dedicated devices perform all the operational and processing functions required by the radio. The FPGA is configured by the DSP under software control to provide the following functions: •...
DRAFT D 3.4.2 DSP Clock Oscillator The DSP is clocked by a 15.360MHz oscillator which consists of crystal X100 and an internal DSP oscillator. Q100 forms a crystal switching circuit with C117 which when activated by a command from the FPGA steers the oscillator away from potential interfering frequencies. Memory Memory consists of the internal DSP memory and an external 4MB non-volatile Flash Memory U104.
