  • Page 6: Introduction

    Thank you for purchasing the AR5001D Digital Processing Communications receiver. As the successor to the AR500 0A receiver, the AR5001D is designed using t he latest technology to ensure the highest level o f performance and reliability with similar key functions as the AR5000A receiver. If you are familiar with the AR5000A operations and functions, you will find it easy to use the new AR5001D receiver.

  • Page 7: Main Features

    Main features: Wide frequency coverage: 40 kHz to 3.15 GHz, with no interruptions (Cellular blocked for the US consumer version) 45.05 MHz IF DSP (Digital Signal Processing) HF direct sampling No AGC in the analog processing circuit Computer simulated high grade RF frontend PC controllable DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer) local oscillator Accurate reference frequency (0.01 ppm with an optional GPS unit)

  • Page 8: Take Care Of Your Receiver

    The AR5001D is designed to operate from a good quality regulated DC power supply of 10.7 to 16.0 V, which should be capable of supplying 2 amps. Neve r connect the AR5001D directly to an AC power outlet.

  • Page 9: Included In This Package

    Operating anomalies Should the AR5001D appear to behave strangely, normal op erations may be easily achieved by performing the following steps: 1. Symptom: No control of the receiver. Action: Turn off the power switch on the front panel. Leave it off for ap proximately 10 seconds.
  • Page 10 High frequency (45.05 MHz) IF output The AR5001D has a 45.05 MHz analog IF output with 15 MHz bandwidth. The input signal to the 45.05 MHz IF stage is directly sent to the A/D converter for digital processing. This IF output signal may be suitab le as an RF front end for radio signal analysis applications.

  • Page 11: Front Panel

    USB 2.0 stand ard interface. By using the I/Q digital output, the streamed data can be stored on a PC hard disk for future signal analysis. The I/Q digital output of the AR5001D has a wide dynamic range (without AGC processing) floating point da ta format.

    3-5-1-2 CHANGING FREQUENCY USING THE MAIN DIAL In VFO mode, the active VFO frequency may be ‘tuned’ in using the main dial which is mounted on the right side of the front pane l. Rotate the dial ‘clockwise’ to increase frequency or turn 'counterclockwise’...
  • Page 27 NFM is the most common mode used above 30 MHz with the exception of the airbands. NFM is widely used on the VHF bands: VHF marine band, 2m amateur band, 70 cm amateur band, PMR (Private Mobile Radio) and utilities. In the absence of a signal, the background white noise may appear quite loud.
