    U4D Dual Diversity UHF Receiver General Characteristics The Shure Model U4D Dual Diversity UHF Receiver is a microprocessor con- trolled dual diversity receiver operating in the UHF frequency range. This product is intended for use in high-end installed sound, rental, and concert sound mar- kets.

  • Page 3: Circuit Description

    Shure U4D Dual Diversity UHF Receiver Circuit Description Power Section The receiver accepts power line voltage ranging from 85 Vac to 264 Vac. The receiver hardware uses the +5 Vdc, +12 Vdc and 12 Vdc volt- ages from the switching power supply. The switching power supply has 40 W overall output power capability, with maximum current capabilities of 4A at 5V, 2A at +12V, and .5A at –12V.

  • Page 4: Local Oscillator

    Shure U4D Dual Diversity UHF Receiver ond mixer. The second down–converter also incorporates an internal IF amplifier that is used with external 10.7 MHz ceramic filters. The 10.7 MHz signal goes to the second IF gain block with detector. The audio output is buffered with an operational amplifier, then processed as de- scribed in the Audio section.
