    NORMARC 7050 TRANSMITTER MARKER BEACON PA after being amplified, while part of it is fed back to the other port of the MOSFET. The transistor detects the difference between these two signals and increases or decreases the signal out to the PA, depending on the signal levels from the oscillator.
  • Page 6 TRANSMITTER NORMARC 7050 MARKER BEACON inputs to the FPGA are the strapped signals used to select outer, middle, inner or FAN marker frequency, as well as status signals regarding oscillator, RF- and LF-level output. Communi- cation with the FPGA is done by the IOD[7:0], ~TXRD and ~TXWR signals. Multiplying DAC’s are used to adjust RF level and modulation depth.

    NORMARC 7050 TRANSMITTER MARKER BEACON Tests and adjustments Preparations Terminate the RF OUT terminal with a 50Ω load (antenna or dummy). The transmitters are factory adjusted to 2 watt output power. Let both transmitters run for ½ hour at this power to achieve a stable working temperature before any fine tuning is carried out.
