Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The AVMH-4-C is a high performance instrument capable of generating up to 100V into 50Ω loads at repetition rates up to 10 MHz. The output pulse width nominally 1 ns (measured at the 20% rise point), although it may be varied over a narrow range. -
Page 6: Specifications
4) For units with the -ECL option, an ECL logic level pulse (i.e., -1.6V = ECL LOW, -0.8V = ECL HIGH) is required to trigger this input, and the input impedance is 50 Ω to -2V. 5) A 50 Ohm load is required. Other loads may damage the instrument. Consult Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) if you need to drive other load impedances. -
Page 7: Regulatory Notes
If interference is observed, check that appropriate well-shielded cabling is used on the output connectors. Contact Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) for advice if you are unsure of the most appropriate cabling. Also, check that your load is adequately shielded. It may be necessary to enclose the load in a metal enclosure. -
Page 8: Directive 2002/95/Ec (Rohs)
Directive 2002/96/EC categories 1-7 and 10, as stated in the "Article 2 - Scope" section of Directive 2002/95/EC. DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC (WEEE) European customers who have purchased this equipment directly from Avtech will have completed a “WEEE Responsibility Agreement” form, accepting responsibility for WEEE compliance (as mandated in Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Union and local laws) on behalf of the customer, as provided for under Article 9 of Directive 2002/96/EC. -
Page 9: Ac Power Supply Regulatory Notes
AC POWER SUPPLY REGULATORY NOTES This instrument converts the AC input power to the +24V DC voltage that powers the internal circuitry of this instrument using a Tamura AAD130SD-60-A switching power supply. According to the manufacturer, the Tamura AAD130SD-60-A has the following certifications: UL60950-1 IEC60950 -1... -
Page 10: Installation
INSTALLATION VISUAL CHECK After unpacking the instrument mainframe and the transformer module, examine to ensure that they have not been damaged in shipment. Visually inspect all connectors, knobs, and handles. Confirm that a power cord and an instrumentation manual (this manual), are with the instrument. -

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS This instrument is intended for use under the following conditions: 1. indoor use; 2. altitude up to 2 000 m; 3. temperature 5 °C to 40 °C; 4. maximum relative humidity 80 % for temperatures up to 31 °C decreasing linearly to 50 % relative humidity at 40 °C;... -
Page 13: Fuses
FUSES This instrument contains four fuses. All are accessible from the rear-panel. Two protect the AC prime power input, and two protect the internal DC power supplies. The locations of the fuses on the rear panel are shown in the figure below: Fuses #1 and #2 Fuse #4 Fuse #3... -
Page 14: Dc Fuse Replacement
DC FUSE REPLACEMENT The DC fuses may be replaced by inserting the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the fuse holder slot, and rotating the slot counter-clockwise. The fuse and its carrier will then pop out. FUSE RATINGS The following table lists the required fuses: Recommended Replacement Part Nominal Fuses... -

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 1. POWER Switch. This is the main power switch. When turning the instrument on, there may be a delay of several seconds before the instrument appears to respond. 2. OVERLOAD Indicator. When the instrument is powered, this indicator is normally green, indicating normal operation. - Page 16 delay control slightly. 5. TRIG Input. The external trigger signal is applied at this input when the PRF range switch is in the “EXT” position. For standard units, a TTL logic level pulse (i.e., 0V = TTL LOW, +3V to +5V = TTL HIGH) is required to trigger this input, and the input impedance is 50Ω...

Page 17: Rear Panel Controls
REAR PANEL CONTROLS 1. AC POWER INPUT. An IEC-320 C14 three-pronged recessed male socket is provided on the back panel for AC power connection to the instrument. One end of the detachable power cord that is supplied with the instrument plugs into this socket. -
Page 18: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION BASIC TEST ARRANGEMENT The AVMH-4-C should be tested with a sampling oscilloscope with a bandwidth of at least 10 GHz to properly observe the high-speed waveform. A typical test arrangement is shown below: SAMPLING AVTECH OSCILLOSCOPE PULSER BW > 10 GHz... -

Page 20: Pulse Stability
When using the transformer with dual-polarity models with the “-OS” option, the external offset must be added to the DC terminal of the inverting transformer. Do not apply the offset to the rear-panel offset terminal on the mainframe (if present). PULSE STABILITY If the output pulse appears to be unstable or jittery in the internal trigger mode, it may be necessary to adjust the delay control slightly. -
Page 21: Minimizing Waveform Distortions
PREVENTING DAMAGE The AVMH-4-C may fail if triggered at a PRF greater than 10 MHz. This unit is designed to operate into a load impedance of 50 Ohms and the output stage will be damaged if it is operated into an open circuit (or any other high impedance). -
Page 22: Options
OPTIONS The AVMH-4-C is available with these options: -OS OPTION This option allows an externally generated DC offset to be added to the output. The desired DC offset is applied to the back panel OS terminal, which is connected to the output centre conductor trhough a high-quality RF inductor. -
Page 23: Mechanical Information
There are no user-adjustable internal circuits. For repairs other than fuse replacement, please contact Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) to arrange for the instrument to be returned to the factory for repair. Service is to be performed solely by qualified service personnel. -
Page 24: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE REGULAR MAINTENANCE This instrument does not require any regular maintenance. On occasion, one or more of the four rear-panel fuses may require replacement. All fuses can be accessed from the rear panel. See the “FUSES” section for details. CLEANING If desired, the interior of the instrument may be cleaned using compressed air to dislodge any accumulated dust. -
