5-3-14-3 Signals from Pedof Probe
The Pedof signals are connected via two dedicated channels on the XD bus
PW Mode
• The Pedof signals (two channels) are fed via a Transmit/Receive (T/R) switch and relays to three
preamplifiers for each Pedof channel.
• From the preamplifiers the signal go to Analog Beamformers.
• From the Analog Beamformers the signals are fed via a multiplexer for demodulating.
• The demodulated (I and Q) signals are then converted from analog to digital in 12 bit A/D
converters.
• The output from the A/D converters (MLA0 and MLA1) are then output to the Beamformer boards.
CW Mode
• In CW mode, the CW signal is amplified by a dedicated preamplifier (not shown in block diagram)
before multiplexing and demodulating.
• The demodulated (I and Q) signals are then converted from analog to digital in 12 bit A/D
converters.
• The output from the A/D converters (MLA0 and MLA1) are then output to the Beamformer boards.
