  • Page 97 Section 4 Theory of Operation Diamond Series™ An adjustable attenuator can be made from a 3 dB hybrid and two 50 ohm rheostats or variable resistors ganged together. Power is input to port 1, and ports 2 and 3 are each terminated with one section of the rheostat, so that each sees the same impedance (see Figure 4-1).
  • Page 98 Section 4 Theory of Operation Diamond Series™ In our applications, PIN diodes in parallel with 50 ohm resistors are used instead of rheostats. The amount of bias current through the diodes controls their RF impedance. The impedances seen at ports 2 and 3 are the parallel combination of the 50 ohm and PIN diode impedances.

  • Page 223: Surge, Lightning And Grounding Considerations

    Diamond Series™ Appendix B Surge, Lightning and Grounding Considerations Surge and Lightning Protection A lightning storm can cause transients in excess of 2 kV to appear on power or field signal lines. The duration of these transients varies from a few hundred nanoseconds to a few microseconds.

  • Page 224: System Grounding

    Appendix B Surge, Lightning and Diamond Series™ In cases where driven ground rods are used for building ground, the primary and secondary neutrals must be separated by a spark gap. If two separate ground rods are used, the rods must be at least 20 feet apart. All connections between lightning arrestors, line connections, and ground must be made as short and straight as possible, with no sharp bends.
  • Page 225 Appendix B Surge, Lightning and Diamond Series™ B.2.2 AC Ground The suggested grounding method consists of two separately structured ground wires which are physically separated from each other but terminate at earth ground. The green ground wire from the AC power input must connect to the power panel and the ground straps of the equipment cabinets.
  • Page 226 Appendix B Surge, Lightning and Diamond Series™ B.2.4 Earth Ground The transmitter must be connected to earth ground. The connection must have an impedance of 5 ohms or less. For example, a one-inch metal rod driven 20 feet into moist earth will have a resistance of approximately 20 ohms, and a large ground counterpoise buried in moist earth will exhibit a resistance on the order of 1 to 5 ohms.
  • Page 227 Appendix B Surge, Lightning and Diamond Series™ electrical continuity. Equipotential planes for existing facilities may be installed at or near the ceiling above the equipment. Each individual piece of equipment must be bonded to its rack or cabinet, or have its case or chassis bonded to the nearest point of the equipotential plane.
