    US. The specific concerns and needs brought up in these conversations led directly to the development of the operational features offered on the UM195. This is certainly not the first belt- pack transmitter ever designed, but it is definitely the most thoroughly engineered unit available.
  • Page 4: General Technical Description

    GENERAL TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The UM195 transmitters are comprised of a number of functional sub-systems as shown in the block diagram below. The 195 system uses 75kHz wide deviation for an extremely high signal to noise ratio. The transmitter circuits are all regulated to allow full output power from the beginning (9 Volts) to the end (7 Volts) of battery life.
  • Page 5 At UHF frequencies, where wavelengths and antennas are shorter than VHF, a resonant dangling wire is preferred. The antenna on the UM195 consists of a flexible 1/4 wavelength wire, detachable via a twist lock connector. The impedance of this connector is 50 Ohms at UHF frequencies.

    CONFIGURATION." VHF transmitters use the shield of the microphone cord as the antenna. The UHF UM195 uses a 1/4 wave flexible wire to radiate the RF signal. There is really not much difference between these two approaches, with respect to the effect of the RF on the microphone capsule.
