    50 Bd channel used to transmit the call and carry out the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) of the receiver. The technology used in the design of the RFL 9506 is based on microprocessors, on digital signal processing, and on high-performance filtering by means of active components and switched-capacity devices.
  • Page 4: Constitution Of The System

    TYPES OF TERMINALS The RFL 9506 system features terminals of one or two standard 4 kHz channels and can have an output power of 5 W, 20 W, 40 W or 80 W (PEP), measured at the coaxial-connector output.
  • Page 5: Optional Services

    Designation of the different RFL 9506 terminals OPTIONAL SERVICES RFL 9506 terminals have two types of optional modules; one type permits the facilities of the terminal to be extended while the other type allows other equipment to be incorporated in the same terminal.

    PARTICULARITIES OF THE SYSTEM MODULATIONS AND DEMODULATIONS On the transmit side, the RFL 9506 terminal carries out the transposition of each 4 kHz channel to a band of frequencies that extends from 40 kHz to 508 kHz. This transposition is achieved by means of a triple frequency conversion. The base band can be situated at...

  • Page 8 Figure 2 Transmission modulation plan for a single-channel system...
  • Page 9 The inverse transposition is carried out in reception and the channels occupy a basic bandwidth of 4 kHz or 8 kHz according to whether the system is single or twin channel. Figure 3 shows the reception modulation plan for a twin-channel system. The following information describes the frequency-conversion process carried out in reception for a twin-channel system.

  • Page 12: Use Of The Base Band

    USE OF THE BASE BAND The available band, extending from 300 Hz to 3850 Hz, can be used for the transmission of data at high speed, various VF telegraph channels, teleprotection signals (D-type channel) or for a speech-plus service (T-type channel). Table 2 indicates the maximum number of standardized channels of 50, 100 and 200 Bd that can be situated in the D-type channel.
  • Page 13 processing techniques, it is also possible to compensate for a level variation of the receiver outputs, which is caused by the presence of noise in the pilot channel. Link synchronization The synchronization of link terminals is based on a master-slave operation; the configuration of the equipment as either a master or a slave is defined by program.
  • Page 14 Internal data transmission The supervision of the system is carried out by transmitting data through the internal communication channel at a rate of 50 Bd. The transmission is interrupted when telephone signalling appears and is resumed when it has no transitions. Furthermore, data transmission is periodically interrupted in order to carry out the link synchronization.
  • Page 15: Programming, Configuration And Supervision Of The System

    PROGRAMMING, CONFIGURATION AND SUPERVISION OF THE SYSTEM The RFL 9506 terminal can be fully programmed by using a PC connected to an RS-232C interface; the corresponding information is stored in two different EEPROM circuits as a precaution. The programming can be carried out directly, from a PC connected to the terminal to be programmed, or indirectly, by storing the information on a diskette for its subsequent transfer to the terminal by using a PC.

    Terminal identification RFL 9506 terminals are distinguished by means of their serial number. There is also an additional field where the user can add a suplementary description of up to 50 characters.
  • Page 18: Supervision Menu

    Blocking and alarms The audio-frequency outputs can be blocked because of pilot loss or excessive noise. The user can for each output define the signal-to-noise ratio for which blocking must be effected as well as the value of excess noise which causes the external alarm to be activated.

Presentation of alarms and events Ten local-terminal alarms and the same alarms for the remote terminal that are transmitted automatically through the communication channel are displayed on the front plate of the power-supply and alarms module.

    This adjustment is carried out by means of a signal generated by the RFL 9506 terminal's own transmitter.

  • Page 26 The EYSD module has four inputs and four outputs that are all decoupled by transformer, and two inputs and two outputs for signals coming from the low-frequency buses of each of the channels of the RFL 9506 terminal. It is therefore possible, by programming the module, to effect any combination in the connection of six inputs and four outputs or of four inputs and six outputs.
