Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc.Blonder Tongue Laboratories is a designer, manufacturer and supplier of a comprehensive line of electronics and systems equipment for the franchised and private cable television industries.

HistoryThe Company was founded in 1950 by Isaac (Ike) S. Blonder and BenH. Tongue. It was in the early days of broadcast TV and they saw aneed for Booster Amplifiers to improve fringe-area reception. Theystarted with modest beginnings in Yonkers, New York and introducedthe first commercially successful Broadband Booster Amplifier. Thecompany soon branched out into master antenna system design andother efforts that earned Ben Tongue some 30 and Ike Blonder 39patents in the 1960’s. The company grew rapidly and after severalmoves, consolidated the operations in Old Bridge, New Jersey, where the company still resides. Ben and Ike sold their BlonderTongue stake in 1989 and both still work with the company engineersas consultants.

Blonder Tongue’s offices are headquartered in Old Bridge, New Jerseyconsisting of a 130,000 square foot facility, on approximately 20acres of land.

In December of 1995, the company successfully completed an initialpublic offering of shares of its common stock. It is traded on theAmerican Stock Exchange (AMEX) under the ticker symbol: BDR. The funds generated were used to acquire the company’s Old Bridgefacility and reduce the company’s outstanding bank debt.

PhilosophyBlonder Tongue’s focus has always been and continues to be customer driven. To this end, we have adopted a philosophy ofQuality, as defined by the customer. This philosophy is exemplified byour company slogan, “The Standard Of Quality In TV SignalDistribution”. Achieving the high standards we have set for ourselvesrequires a concerted effort from the entire organization. We have

addressed the issue of quality from two distinct directions, ProductQuality and Service Quality.

Product OfferingOur goal of offering the highest possible ‘Product Quality’ has helpedus in becoming the largest equipment provider to the private cablemarket. Our ability to offer our customers a "one-stop-shop" destination has led to the creation of a large and diverse product line.The Blonder Tongue product line can be separated according to function into the following categories: (1) Headend Products used bya system operator for signal acquisition, processing and manipulation for further transmission. (2) Data & TelephonyProducts used by a system operator to provide Internet access &data transfer as well telephone service over a hybrid fiber/coaxialcable system. (3) Distribution Products used to permit signals totravel to their ultimate destination in a home, apartment unit, hotelroom, office, or other terminal location. (4) Subscriber Productsused to control access to programming at the subscriber’s locationand to split and amplify incoming signals for transmission to multiple sites and multiple communication devices within a site. (5)Microwave Products used to transmit the output of headend products to multiple locations using point-to-point communicationslinks in the microwave frequency range. (6) Fiber Optic Productsproviding the latest option for transmitting and receiving video & datasignals. (7) Satellite Receivers (digital and analog) used at an earthstation to downconvert, process and prepare satellite signals fromthe leading providers for viewing and listening. (8) InterdictionProducts providing a unique addressable system for cable televisionsignal protection eliminating the need for set-top converters. (9) TestEquipment comprising a complete array of products for measuringsignals in Headend, Microwave, Interdiction, and DistributionProducts.

Product QualityA complete product family is just the beginning of our commitmentto Product Quality. Our in-house Research and Development

department is staffed by experienced and knowledgeable electricaland mechanical engineers. They create and completely evaluate allproduct specifications, designs and mechanical drawings beforethey are released to the QC & Manufacturing process.

Blonder Tongue maintains a quality assurance program which performs inspection on incoming samples of all purchased parts.For statistical process control, verification tests are performed andtest data is taken throughout the entire manufacturing process. Testsystems are comprised of commercially available equipment as wellas custom in-house built testing systems that incorporate proprietary procedures. Blonder Tongue performs final quality control tests on 100% of its products prior to shipment to customers.

The company’s manufacturing facilities are located right here in theUS at the corporate headquarters where virtually all products areassembled by trained factory technicians. Blonder Tongue pridesitself on having total control over the manufacturing & engineeringprocess without having to go to off-shore factories. This eliminatescostly delays and communication issues that can occur and reinforces the "Made in USA" motto.

The operations are vertically integrated and they consist principallyof the assembly and testing of electronic assemblies built from fabricated parts, printed circuit boards & electronic devices. In addition, manufacturing fabricates chassis & cabinets from rawsheet metal for such assemblies. Management continues to implement a significant number of technological advances and engineering changes to the manufacturing process to ensure superior performance, increase production volume and reduce product cost. Some of the recent innovations include: (a) Logisticsmodifications on the factory floor, (b) An increased use of surfacemount, axial lead and radial lead robotics to place electronic components on printed circuit boards, (c) A continuing program ofcircuit board redesign to make more products compatible withrobotic insertion equipment, and (d) An increased integration inmachining and fabrication.

Service Quality“Service Quality” at Blonder Tongue is attacked with the same vigoras product quality. Blonder Tongue provides an extensive warrantywith every product sold, as almost every product is covered for a full3 years from the original date of purchase. Telephone technical support for all Blonder Tongue products is always available duringnormal business hours at no charge. Blonder Tongue can also provide 24-hour support and on-site system engineering for inspection or troubleshooting of field problems. Our field engineersare available on a scheduled basis for a nominal fee.

Our systems engineering personnel are very experienced in workingwith customers constructing systems. They assist them in determining which products are necessary and provide informationleading to the development of an effective system for providing thecommunications capability required. Blonder Tongue provides system design layouts for customers that utilize Blonder Tongueproducts in the system. Preliminary assistance to determine thequantity and configuration of products is also available. This serviceis provided free of charge for the initial design layout.

Blonder Tongue also provides custom designed products and/ormodifications to standard products. Because our engineering staffand manufacturing facilities are located on-site, we can react quickly to these special requests and meet the strict delivery schedule our customers demand. Our sales staff also welcomes bidsubmittals via our request for proposal (RFP) program and makesspecification sheets available for use in evaluating these bids. These sheets provide a comprehensive description of product specifications for determining proper system use.

Another value added service Blonder Tongue provides is headendfabrication. Headends are provided, at customer request, completely racked, assembled and drop shipped to the headend finaldestination. The customer need only unpack, connect the racks toone another, plug into AC power, connect the antenna feeds to the

OPTION 14 - On Channelock

ON CHANNELOCK solves one of the commonly encountered problemsof using an Agile Processor in the On Channel Mode. (e.g. channel 9VHF input, channel 9 VHF output).

The problem being addressed manifests itself as picture “flutter,” simi-lar to the effects of signals reflected from aircraft (although it is causedby a different phenomenon). The flutter most often occurs when theinput signal is from an off air antenna or antenna/preamplifier combina-tion.

Option 14 is intended to be invoked only when the input is a broadcastchannel 2 - 13 broadcast and the output channel is exactly the same asthe input.

Do not invoke Option 14 for conversions. Option 14 is invoked bySwitch SW2, POSITION 9. Switch SW2, POSITION 9 is found in thebank of front panel accessible output channel selector switches. PlaceSwitch SW2, POSITION 9 down to invoke Option 14, up to disableOption 14.

As a reminder, turn “offset adjust” potentiometer fully clockwise whenusing this processor in the “On Channel” mode regardless of whetherthe processor has Option 14 or not.

When setting up a processor for “On Channel” operation be certain thatthe switches for the output selector are as required for “On Channel”operation. Use the following procedure for best results when in the “OnChannel” mode and when using Option 14.

OPTION 4- Sub Band Output for AM

Option 4 extends the output frequency range of an AM60 modulator toinclude sub-band channels T7 through T13 . This permits the unit tobe used for sub-band via the return path in a two way system or as aLAN modulator. All external controls and connectors remain the sameas a standard model. Video and Audio specifications for channels T7through T13 also conform to standard modulator performance. RF specifications remain the same except for the following:

SPECIFICATIONS (Typical)

RF Output Frequency Range: All Channels 7.00-445.25 MHz

Spurious Output

T7 - T12: -62 dBc

Interdiction Products

Interdiction technology products from Blonder Tongue are the cableoperator’s solution to enhance subscriber services, providing a moreuser- and operator-friendly system. Addressable off-premise interdic-tion units eliminate set-top converters from the residence and provideefficiency, security and control in system operations. The “interdiction”terminology comes from the fact that the interfering or jamming signalis introduced into the premium channel at the subscriber’s location, notat the headend as with conventional scrambling systems.

There are three interdiction product lines: - VideoMask™ Interdiction (VMI)- Single Living Interdiction Unit (SLIU)- Subscriber Module Interdiction (SMI) formerly known as

Scientific Atlanta addressable interdiction system.

For each interdiction product line the following information is provided:1. General Parts List2. Specification Summary3. System Design Considerations4. Installation Guidelines5. Unit Activation6. Troubleshooting7. Jamming Worksheet

For more detailed information, please refer to Blonder Tongue’s full linecatalog, the training seminar literature, or contact Blonder Tongue’sTechnical Support Sales and Marketing Departments.

3. VMI System Design

VideoMask™ Interdiction Units (VMIU’s) can easily be accommodated within standard distribution system designs, including both one-way and two-way architectures. Each VMIU has three (3) plug-in parameters (directional coupler, equalizer, and attenuator) that can be tailored tomeet the exact system design requirements. The following sections contain thespecifications needed to design a system using VMIU’s. Several design rulesand examples have been included for reference.

ArchitectureThe VMIU plug-in parameters (DC, EQ & AT) are used to modify the incomingsignal levels to match the Interdiction Unit requirements. VMIU’s expect signallevels to be +10/+15/+16 dBmV (50/550/750 MHz) using a 0 dB DirectionalCoupler, 0 dB Equalizer, and 0 dB Attenuator. A system block diagram follows.

3. VMI System DesignDirectional Coupler

A plug-in Directional Coupler (DC) is used to attenuate the incomingsignal to the levels expected by the VMIU. DCs are available in 0, 4, 8,11, and 14 dB values, with 14 dB being the maximum recommendedvalue for two-way system designs. This is due to the fact that both theforward (54 to 750 MHz) and reverse (5 to 30 MHz) path signals incurthe loss of the tap leg of the DC.

In order to minimize the loss incurred by the reverse path, VMIU’sinclude a plug-in Attenuator (AT). The AT loss is only incurred by theforward path signals, which allows the total insertion loss needed forthe forward path to be split between the DC and the AT. The TapOutput port insertion loss is equal to the DC tap value (0 dB = 0 dBinsertion loss). The RF Feeder Input to RF Feeder Output insertion lossspecifications for the DCs are included.

3. VMI System DesignEqualizer

A plug-in Equalizer (EQ) is used to equalize the effects of cable attenuation on the incoming signal. 750 MHz EQs are available in 1 dBincrements from -4 to +20 dB values. The EQ only affects the forwardpath signals (54 to 750 MHz). The insertion loss specifications for theEQ are included below.

3. VMI System DesignAttenuator

A plug-in Attenuator is used in conjunction with the Directional Coupler toattenuate the incoming signal to the levels expected by the VMIU. Attenuators are available in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 dB values. The Attenuator only affects the forward path signals (54 to 750 MHz).System Design Parameter CalculationsThe following design rules are provided to assist both the system designer and installer in selecting values for the three (3) plug-in parameters.DC, EQ, & AT - Selecting ValuesThe values of the Directional Coupler, Equalizer and Attenuator are selectedto provide the desired insertion loss and slope correction to meet theincoming signal requirements of the VMIU. In general, the DirectionalCoupler and Attenuator provide a flat response and the highest frequencyused in the system design should be considered for the selection of theDirectional Coupler (for example, in a 750 MHz design, the insertion lossvalue at 750 MHz should be used).A minimum of 1.5 dB of attenuation @ 750 MHz should be the smallest value used for the preliminary parameter selection to provide ade-quate headroom for the final signal level adjustment of the VMIU.In general, the steps below are taken to determine the three parameter values:1. Determine the design frequencies (lo and hi) of the system2. Based on the incoming signal level to the VMIU, determine the

insertion loss needed in the directional coupler 3. Determine the Directional Coupler tap value4. Calculate the tilt compensation needed from the Equalizer5. Determine the Equalizer value6. Calculate the remaining insertion loss needed from the Attenuator;

adjust the equalizer if the remaining insertion losses are both negative7. Determine the Attenuator value

4. VMI Installation GuidelinesDirectional Coupler, Equalizer, and Attenuator - “As Built”

After the VMI Unit is installed, the output levels at the subscriber out-puts should be measured and verified against the VMI Specifications.The three (3) plug-in parameters can be further tailored in the field tomatch the output levels as close to the Specification as possible.These “As-Built” values should then be fed back to the system designerfor inclusion on the original system design maps.

Balancing And Alignment Rules

Directional Coupler1 The maximum value for the plug-in Directional Coupler is 14 dB,

in order to minimize the reverse path insertion loss.

2 VMIU’s in direct cascade (RF Feeder Output fed to RF Feeder Input) should not be configured with a 4 dB plug-in Directional Coupler in the first VMIU feeding a 4 dB plug-in Directional Coupler in the second VMIU (remember, the 4 dB Directional Coupler is actually a two-way splitter). A 0 dB plug-in DirectionalCoupler should be used in the second VMIU instead.

3 Do not select a plug-in Directional Coupler that exactly matches the insertion loss needed. Use 1.5 dB of attenuation at 750 MHz as a minimum and select a plug-in Directional Coupler based on the headroom afforded by this baseline attenuation.

4 The plug-in Directional Coupler affects both the forward and reverse path signals.

5 The plug-in Attenuator affects the reverse path signals only.

4. VMI Installation Guidelines

Equalizer

1 VMIU’s that are located close to the nearest amplifier may requirea plug-in Inverse Equalizer (4 dB) to compensate for the launch slope of the amplifier.

2 The plug-in Equalizer should be selected based upon the tilt compensation needed for the system design. Please note that the plug-in Equalizer value does not equal the insertion loss.

3 VMIU’s in direct cascade (RF Feeder Output fed to RF Feeder Input) typically require a higher value plug-in Equalizer in the second VMIU. This is due to the additional slope incurred in the Directional Couplers installed in both VMIU’s.

4 The plug-in Equalizer only affects the forward path signals.

Attenuator1 Use 1.5 dB of attenuation at 750 MHz as a minimum to

provide headroom for final VMIU setup.

2 The plug-in Attenuator value should be selected based upon the additional insertion loss needed after equalization plus the 1.5 dB of attenuation used for headroom.

3 The plug-in Attenuator only affects the forward path signals and is used in conjunction with the Directional Coupler and Equalizer to provide the total insertion loss.

The VMI unit has factory default parameters that immediately activateall ports upon initial installation. There are no jamming frequenciesassigned at the factory. This allows the full spectrum of channels topass, “in the clear,” to the subscriber drop port.

The VMIU will pass signal to the subscriber port “in the clear” until theiCentral control computer authorizes the unit with the appropriate levelof service. Once you install both the interdiction unit and turn on theAC, the unit passes RF.

Important!: There is no refresh timer for the VMIU! You must discon-nect ports which are not assigned to a subscriber with the iCentral!

Key items to remember

• Serial numbers and port addresses:

- Report the proper serial number and port address to ensure authorization. The first 9 digits correspond to the serial number. The last 7 digits correspond to the hexadecimal address, which the central control computer uses to communicate to each subscriber port.

- Make sure the address matches the port used in the installation.

• Authorization:

- Make sure the Customer Service Representative (CSR) authorizes the port address with the proper level of service.

2. SLIU Specification SummarySLIU1

67

Single Living Interdiction Units (SLIU’s) can easily be accommodated withinstandard distribution system designs, including both one-way and two-wayarchitectures. Each SLIU has three (3) plug-in parameters (equalizer, forwardattenuator (or trim network) and return attenuator) that can be tailored to meetthe exact system design requirements. The following sections contain the speci-fications needed to design a system using SLIU’s. Several design rules andexamples have been included for reference.

ArchitectureThe VMI plug-ins parameters (EQ , AT, and TN) are used to modify the incomingsignal levels to match the SLIU requirements. The SLIU expects signal levels tobe +10/+17/+18 dBmV (50/750/860 MHz) using a 0 dB Equalizer, and 0 dBAttenuator. A system block diagram follows.

3. SLIU System DesignEqualizer

A plug-in Equalizer (EQ) is used to equalize the effects of cable attenuation on the incoming signal. 860 MHz EQs are available in 1 dBincrements from -4 to +20 dB values. The EQ only affects the forwardpath signals (54 to 860 MHz). The insertion loss specifications for theEQ are included below.

3. SLIU System DesignAttenuator

A plug-in Attenuator is used in conjunction with the external DirectionalCoupler to attenuate the incoming signal to the levels expected by theSLIU. Attenuators are available in 1 dB increments in values from 0 to18 dB. The Attenuator may be placed in the forward and/or returnpath.

Trim NetworksInstead of a forward path attenuator, a trim network (TN) may be usedto compensate for non-linear system response and allow for forwardpath balancing. The trim networks are available in attenuation values of1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 dB and response connections of 3 and 6 dB.

System Design Parameter CalculationsThe following design rules are provided to assist both the system designed and installer in selecting values for the three (3) plug-in parameters.

EQ, AT & TN- Selecting ValuesThe values of the Equalizer, Attenuator and/or Trim Network are selected to provide the desired insertion loss and slope correction tomeet the incoming signal requirements of the SLIU. In general, theAttenuator provides a flat response. The Trim Network compensatesfor non-linear slope in the AGC range.

SLIU 1

In general, the steps below are taken to determine the three parameter values:1. Determine minimum input levels based on your system design.

2. Measure RF input levels at Ch.2, Ch. 24 and highest channel (Ch. 78, 550 MHz).

3. Select appropriate EQ & FW AT/TN components- If Step 2 measurement same as map design, use map design

value EQ & AT.- If Step 2 measurement level different from map design, select value

from EQ & AT tables (for full AGC).

4. Measure RF Output- Verify RF tilt relative to jamming oscillators- If tilt is incorrect, adjust the EQ appropriately (a higher EQ if the tilt is

too high, a lower EQ if the tilt is too low.

5 AGC voltage at TP5- 3.1 Vdc (optimum); 3.0 - 3.2 (acceptable).- If reading is higher, add “1” to original feeder input level (value from

step 2) & choose new Fwd AT.- If reading is lower, subtract “1” from original feeder input level (value

from step 2) & choose new Fwd AT.

• Tightening:- Use a criss-cross pattern to tighten the housing bolts.- Tighten closure bolts between 5-7 ft. lbs.

The SLIU unit has factory default parameters that immediately activate the output port upon initial installation. There are no jammingfrequencies assigned at the factory. This allows the full spectrum ofchannels to pass, “in the clear,” to the subscriber drop port.

The unit will pass signal to the subscriber port “in the clear” until theiCentral authorizes the unit with the appropriate level of service. Onceyou install both the interdiction unit and turn on the AC, the refreshtimer starts. The factory default is 25 days.

Important!: You must activate the subscriber port within the refreshtimer period or the unit deactivates.



- Report the proper serial number and port address to ensure autho-rization. The first 9 digits correspond to the serial number. The last7 digits correspond to the hexadecimal address, which the iCentraluses to communicate to the unit.

• Reverse Path Activation:

- The SLIU is capable of returning reverse signals from a CIU. The unitsupports 5-40 MHz return. In addition to 5-40 MHz return, the unitalso provides independent addressable on/off control of the reversepath for the subscriber port, when the reverse path switch is enabled bythe iCentral.

• Fault Flags:- Tamper- Unit Time Out- Unit Address- Calibration- EEPROM

• Fault Action:

1. Disconnect - Full RF disconnect, snow on all channels2. Jam All Channels - All jammable channels are jammed3. Pulse Disconnect - The RF has flashes of disconnects with

normal video serviceNOTE: The fault action may be changed at any time, andimplemented with a “Headend Initialization” command

• Recommended Configuration

- Fault Flags: Calibration, Tamper (if desired)

- Fault Action: Pulse DisconnectThe pulse disconnect has the following codes to identify whichfault has occurred:

• Tamper 1 Flash of Disconnect• Unit Time Out 2 Flashes of Disconnect• Unit Address 3 Flashes of Disconnect• Calibration 4 Flashes of Disconnect• EEPROM 5 Flashes of Disconnect

SLIU

• Recommended Configuration - continued

- The flashes occur once every 12 seconds (Quick Flash Mode) oronce every 10 minutes (Slow Mode) as defined in the iCentral.

- The Quick Flash mode is optimum if a technician is in the field checking a unit. The Slow Mode is less punishing to the customer.

- The LED is “on” solid when no fault has been detected.

- If a fault has been detected, the unit LED will flash with the following codes (the same as the RF when in Pulse Disconnect Mode):

• Tamper 1 Flash• Unit Time Out 2 Flashes• Unit Address 3 Flashes• Calibration 4 Flashes• EEPROM 5 Flashes

- Except for the tamper mode, the LED will flash even if the faultflags are not set in the iCentral.

- If the tamper mode flag is not set, the LED will stay “on” whenthe technician opens the unit.

- The RF will flash only if the flag is set in the iCentral AND the fault occurs.

3. SMI System Design

Subscriber Module Interdiction Units (SMIU’s) can easily be accommo-dated within standard distribution system designs, including both one-way and two-way architectures. Each SMIU has two (2) plug-in para-meters (directional coupler and equalizer) that can be tailored to meetthe exact system design requirements. In addition, the SMIU has anautomatic gain control (AGC) with a range of ±4.5 dB. The AGC’s func-tion is to maintain the correct RF level relative to the jamming carriers,despite variations in the feeder level. The following sections containthe specifications needed to design a system using SMIU’s. ArchitectureThe SMIU plug-in parameters (DC & EQ) are used to modify theincoming signal levels to match the Interdiction Unit requirements.SMIU’s expects signal levels to be +10/+16/+18 dBmV (50/550/750MHz) using a 0 dB DC and 0 dB EQ. A system block diagram follows.

4. SMI Installation Guidelines

During installation, it is important you make the proper electrical connec-tions and ensure the unit closes securely to prevent water damage. Werecommend you review the “Key items to remember” below during aninitial installation or upon subsequent opening and closing of the inter-diction housing.Key items to remember:• Splicing:- When splicing the hard-line cable into the interdiction housing,

make sure the “stinger” in the hard-line body connector is cut in accordance with the appropriate “strip” guide adjacent to each port on the housing. CAUTION: Each port requires a different stinger length.

• Tightening:- Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten each nut, bolt, and connector

according to the specifications listed in the following bullets.- Tighten the hard-line connector & stinger between 10 ft-lbs & 15 ft-lbs.- Tighten the seizure block screws between 9 in.-lbs and 11 in.-lbs.

Make sure not to tighten these screws until you tighten the hard-line connector first.

- Tighten the capture screws on the subscriber modules between 9 in.-lbs and 11 in.-lbs.

- In an aerial-mounted unit, tighten the strand clamp bolts between 5 ft-lbs and 7 ft-lbs.

- Tighten closure bolts between 5 ft-lbs and 7 ft-lbs in the appropriate sequence for both the 4-port & 8-port units. See the illustrations on the following page.

4. SMI Installation GuidelinesSMI Mounting Configurations

There are two mounting configurations available for all 4-port and 8-port interdiction housings: • Strand-mountedThe feeder cable enters one end of the unit and exits the opposite end.The unit has two strand clamps with bolts and uses a standard cablestrand for mounting.• Pedestal-mountedThe feeder cable enters and exits the unit on the same end.

Key items to remember• Seizure board position can confirm mounting type:- The seizure board position is determined prior to shipment by the

model code and part number. See “Strand-mount illustration (4-port)” and “Pedestal-mount illustration (4-port)” on the following pages.

Note: We recommend you not handle the seizure board during installation. Repositioning the seizure board may affect the SMI unit’sperformance.

• Housing position may be modified:- Notice the housing has hinges on either side allowing you to modify

for easy install. Depending on the type of installation, you may have to rotate the housing bottom, which holds the subscriber module, to place the drop-port connections in the best position for cablerouting and maintenance.

SMI


• Feeder Cable Direction:- The two SMI unit seizure blocks are indicated in the figures below

as J1 and J2. The recommended feeder direction of the SMI unit is with J1 as the Input Port and J2 as the Output Port 1. When either RF or AC is being terminated at the unit, the unit MUST have J1 as the input port (for more information see “Balancing and Alignment”). Otherwise, when neither the RF or AC is being terminated, the SMI units may have J2 as the Input Port if required for mounting purposes.

NOTE: The directional coupler board is silk screened with an arrowwhich identifies the direction of signal flow (from the Input port to theOutput port).

4. SMI Installation GuidelinesBalancing and Alignment

The distribution system design determines the initial selection of DCand EQ values. The actual feeder levels, however, may be different atthe time of installation. To ensure the unit operates normally despitevariations in feeder levels, it is recommended to balance each unit inthe field using proper balancing techniques.Remember, the SMI unit has an AGC with a range of ±4.5 dB. Key items to remember• Locating P5 jumper:

- The P5 jumper is stored during shipping in the DC pin holes on the seizure board. Find and remove this jumper; then, set it aside to use later.

• Determining actual signal level:

- At the feeder input of the interdiction device, plug a -20 dB test connector, part number (P/N) 376602, in place of the DC and measure the level at channel 2, 55.25 MHz and either channel 78, 562.25 MHz or channel 116, 745.25 MHz. Add 20 dB to the measured levels to compensate for the attenuation in the test connector.

The key steps in balancing & aligning the unit are:1. Measure input levels

with test connector2. Determine DC & EQ

values with slide cards & install

3. Verify unit set up by measuring AGC voltage

4. Measure outputlevels

SMI


• Determining actual signal level (continued):

The minimum input level The minimum input level for a 4-port unit is: for an 8-port unit is:

17.0 dBmV @ 51 MHz 20.5 dBmV @ 51 MHz23.0 dBmV @ 550 MHz 26.5 dBmV @ 550 MHz24.0 dBmV @ 650 MHz 27.5 dBmV @ 650 MHz25.0 dBmV @ 750 MHz 28.5 dBmV @ 750 MHz

• Determining the correct DC and EQ value:

- Use the appropriate DC and EQ reference cards, P/N 570201 for the 8-port or P/N 570202 for the 4-port, to determine the correct values that correspond to your system design. Contact Blonder Tongue if you do not have these cards.

• The correct DC ensures that proper levels are present at the input to the AGC network.

• The correct EQ ensures you achieve the proper uptilt to matchthe tilt of the jamming carriers.

• Removing and replacing the seizure board cover:

- Do not remove the seizure board cover until you are ready to move jumpers.

- Make sure to replace the seizure board cover before you plug-in a DC and EQ.

SMI


The SMI unit has a series of jumpers whose position is determined bythe RF and AC status of the unit. The selection of DC determines the RF status: values 0, 1, 2, or 3 dB are terminating and the remaining DCs(4-31.5 dB) are non-terminating DCs.

• With a non-terminating DC (4-31.5 dB), determine which of the first three scenarios applies:1) Scenario 1 - Both Power and RF are required at the feeder output:• Leave both the P1 and P2 jumpers in place on the seizure board.• Discard the P5 jumper.• J1 or J2 = Input or Output

2) Scenario 2 - RF is required at the feeder output for the next unit in the cascade, but there is insufficient AC current to power the next unit:

• Leave P1 jumper in place.• Remove the P2 jumper from the seizure board to block AC from

the feeder output. Another power source must provide AC to the next unit in cascade.

• Discard the P5 jumper.• J1 = Input; J2 = Output.3) Scenario 3 - The unit is the “end-of-line“:• Remove P1 jumper.• Leave P2 jumper in place.• Install P5 jumper.• J1 = Input; J2 = Output.• Install a 75 W terminating output connector.4) Scenario 4 - With a terminating DC (0, 1, 2, 3 dB):• Remove the P1 jumper on the seizure board to prevent AC

current from reaching the feeder.• Leave the P2 jumper in place.• Install the P5 jumper into the appropriate place marked P5 on the

seizure board. Remember, you previously removed P5 from the DC pin holes.

• J1 = Input; J2 = Output.

SMI


• Installing the DC and EQ:- Plug the DC and EQ into the appropriate places on the seizure

board. The silk-screen arrow on the DC should point in the same direction as the signal flow.

• Measuring the AGC voltage:

- Make sure to measure the AGC voltage at TP 3*. A measurement between 7.0 V DC and 8.4 V DC indicates the AGC is in the optimal range.

• If the AGC voltage measurement is higher, add “1” to the original feeder input level values.

• If the AGC voltage measurement is lower, subtract “1” from the original feeder input level values.Note: You determined the original feeder input values in the second bullet of this section.

Use the DC and EQ charts, P/N 570201 for the 8-port or P/N570202 for the 4-port, to select a new DC and EQ value. Plug inand re-measure the AGC voltage at TP3. Repeat this activity untilyou achieve the optimal AGC range.*Note: To identify TP3, look for the silk-screened reference indicator. See the “Motherboard illustration (4-port)” later in this section.

• Measuring the subscriber module output level:- Measure the level at the subscriber module output. The level at the

output should measure:• 10.0 dBmV ± 0.5 dB @ 51 MHz• 16.0 dBmV ± 0.5 dB @ 550 MHz• 17.0 dBmV ± 0.5 dB @ 650 MHz• 18.0 dBmV ± 0.5 dB @ 750 MHz

4. SMI Installation GuidelinesPassing Power to the Home

Some 750 MHz SMI units and subscriber modules are capable of pass-ing 37-90 V AC power to each subscriber port. This capability providespower to a telephony or data network interface unit (NIU)/customerinterface unit (CIU) such as NORTEL CORNERSTONE or TELLABS...

In order to pass power to the home, you must use a power passingsubscriber module, a 750 MHz housing equipped with a power passingpower supply and have a CIU in place. If you have the first two compo-nents and a CIU is not in place, power passes directly to the sub-scriber’s TV or VCR causing damage.

Important! To avoid damaging the subscriber’s TV or VCR when noCIU is in place, use the following table to determine which subscribermodule to install. Your selection is based on which 750 MHzhousing/power supply combination you have.

4. SMI Installation GuidelinesPassing Power to the Home

The following are some key items to remember about passing power to the home:

• If a CIU is not in the home:- Make sure during installation that power is not present at the

subscriber port. Use the proper 750 MHz housing/power supply/subscriber module combination so not to pass power.

• If a CIU is in the home:- Power passes from the subscriber port to the CIU, so install the

optional power passing jumper P/N 568839 in the direction indicated on the subscriber module P/N 564265.

Caution:If no CIU is present at the subscriber drop, do not install a power passing subscriber module in a 750 MHz housing equipped with a

power passing power supply or severe damage to the subscribersTV or VCR may result.

- strand-mounted unit:• Loosen (J4) seizure block screw.

- pedestal-mounted unit:• Find (J5) seizure block; then locate the hard-line tube

connected to J5 seizure block. Loosen the seizure block screwlocated at the opposite end of the hard-line tube from J5 seizure block.

• Installing the hard-line connector:- Make sure you place the hard-line connector (stinger) into the

unused feeder port and tighten between 10 ft-lbs and 15 ft-lbs. • Tightening:

- Make sure you re-tighten the seizure block screw (J4 or J5) between 9 in.-lbs and 11 in.-lbs.

Caution:Keep AC power off the feeder cable during installation of any line equipment.!

5. SMI Unit Activation

The SMI unit has factory default parameters that immediately activate all ports upon initial installation. There are nojamming frequencies assigned at the factory. This allows the full spec-trum of channels to pass, “in the clear,” to the subscriber drop portonce you install a subscriber module.

The subscriber module will pass signal to the subscriber port “in theclear” until the iCentral authorizes the subscriber module with theappropriate level of service. Once you install both the interdiction unitand subscriber module and turn on the AC, the refresh timer starts.The factory default is 25 days.

Important!: You must activate at least one subscriber port within therefresh timer period or all subscriber ports deactivate.


• Subscriber module installation location and sequence:

- Install the subscriber module into the appropriate port location. We recommend you install each subscriber module in sequence.


- Report the proper serial number and port address to ensure authorization. The first 9 digits correspond to the serial number. The last 7 digits correspond to the hexadecimal address, which the iCentral uses to communicate to each subscriber port.

- Make sure the address matches the port used in the installation.

• Subscriber modules and port locations:

- During an installation, always start with port 1 for the first subscriber module installation, port 2 for the second module, and so on.

• Authorization:

- Make sure the Customer Service Representative (CSR) authorizes the port address with the proper level of service.

5. SMI Unit ActivationReverse Path Activation

The subscriber module when installed in a 750 MHz housing is capable ofreturning reverse signals from a CIU. The subscriber module supportseither 5-30 MHz or 5-40 MHz return. The subscriber module that supports5-40 MHz return also provides independent addressable on/off control ofthe reverse path for each subscriber port.Key items to remember• Activating the reverse path:- When activating the reverse path for an individual subscriber, make

sure you clip the lead of the 75 Ω terminating resistor located on the reverse combiner board to allow passage of reverse signals. You will find the reverse combiner board located directly above the motherboard,held with two screws, and next to the power supply. Each subscriber port has a 75 Ω terminating resistor.

- Make sure you plug-in the reverse path cable connector from the reverse combiner board into the rear of the subscriber module.

• Measuring the output level of the reverse path signal:- Remove the DC and plug in the -20 dB test connector P/N 376602 and

verify return path level (-10.5/14.5 for 4/8 pin unit).• Enabling reverse path:- Make sure the central control computer enables the reverse path

switch for subscriber module P/N 564265 where appropriate.• Subscriber module removal:- If you remove a subscriber module, make sure you resolder the lead of

the 75 W terminating resistor located on the reverse combiner board.All sub modules support 5-30 unswitched passive return except564265.Part number 564265 supports switched 5-40 MHz return.

6. SMI Troubleshooting

The SMI unit has several diagnostic indicators that provide feedback ifthere is a failure or someone tampers with the unit. The indicators arevideo flashes on the subscriber’s television followed by a period of dis-connect. These indicators continue indefinitely until you take the appro-priate troubleshooting action. The information below lists the diagnos-tic indicator and the following information about them:• Conditions• Indicators• Subscriber ports affected• Action that resolves the conditionKey items to remember• TAMPER--1 flash

- With the tamper feature enabled, a tamper condition occurs whenthere is unauthorized entry into the interdiction unit.This condition:• Affects all subscribers ports• Results in all subscriber ports disconnecting and one flash of

video every 9 seconds• Continues flashing in this disconnect state until the

addressable control computer secures and refreshes the unitAn addressable tamper override function in the central controlcomputer allows the system operator to override the tamper condition for authorized entry.

6. SMI Troubleshooting

• REFRESH TIMER--2 flashes- The refresh timer condition occurs when the interdiction unit

does not receive at least one valid addressable command within the refresh timer limit. This condition:• Affects all subscriber ports• Results in all subscriber ports disconnecting and two flashes

of video every 9 seconds • Continues flashing in the disconnect state until the unit

receives an addressed transaction for one of the subscriber ports

The refresh timer period is a global system parameter defined from3 to 25 days. The factory default is 25 days. The central controlcomputer automatically schedules periodic authorized channelrefreshes to ensure units are addressed at least twice within therefresh timer period.

• VCO FAILURE--4 flashes- The VCO failure condition occurs when any or all of the five VCOs

within a subscriber module fail self-calibration.This condition:• Affects only subscriber modules that fail self-calibration• Results in all failed subscriber modules disconnecting with

four flashes of video every 9 seconds• Continues flashing until the VCO passes self-calibration or you

replace the defective subscriber module The VCO re-calibration period can be set between 1 and 15 minutes. Factory default is 2 minutes.

USEFUL TECHNICAL DATAThe DecibelThe decibel (dB) provides a means of representing large power ratiosas manageable, small numbers, and allows the overall gains and lossesin a module or a network to be calculated by addition and subtraction,rather than by multiplication and division.The original unit is the Bel (named after Alexander Graham Bell). Thedecibel is one-tenth of a Bel. The power ratio of two power measure-ments is calculated as follows:

Ratio of power P1 to power P2, in dB:

The power ratio of two voltage measurements is calculated as follows:Power ratio of voltage V1 to voltage V2, in dB:

Voltage ConfusiondBmV and dBµV expressions of power contain an upper case V. Thisdoes not mean they are expressions of voltage. They are expressionsof power. When all the power scales (dBm, dBmV and dBµV) are laidnext to each other, it is easy to see that each track on a dB for dB basis(see section 6; pages 2 and 3).

dB = 10 log P 1P 2

Power ConversionsdBmVA power measurement of ‘x dBmV’ indicates that a particular signal is x dB greater than (‘above’) 1 millivolt in 75 ohms. A negative dBmV value indicates that the signal is x dB less than (‘below’) 1 millivolt in 75 ohms.To convert x millivolts to dBmV:

dBµVSimilarly, a measurement of ‘x dBµV’ indicates that the signal is x dBabove one microvolt in 75 ohms.To convert x microvolts to dBµV:

To convert dBmV to dBµV, add 60 to the dBmV reading:

dBmA measurement of ‘x dBm’ indicates that a particular signal is x dBgreater than (‘above’) 1 milliwatt. A negative dBm value indicates thatthe signal is x dB less than (‘below’) 1 milliwatt.To convert x milliwatts to dBm:

dBµV = 20 log (x microvolts)

x dBµV = x dBmV + 60

dBm = 10 log (x milliwatts)

The inverse operation is also possible if impedance is known:To convert dBm directly to dBmV:

Impedance MismatchIt frequently happens that the input impedance of a measuring device(spectrum analyzer; field strength meter, etc.) does not match theimpedance of the system under test. In such a case, a correction mustbe made to the reading displayed on the instrument.

To determine what degree of overall peak-to-valleydeviation is acceptable for the Nth amplifier in a cascade,use this formula.

Where x is equal to the acceptable P-V deviation and, N = number of amplifiers in cascade.

For example, what is the maximum acceptable peak-to-valley deviation at the 32nd amplifier in a cascade?

Thus, 4.2 dB is the maximum acceptable peak-to-valleydeviation (highest peak to lowest valley in the broadbandsignal) at the 32nd amplifier.

SYSTEM CALCULATIONSAMPLIFIER CASCADE FACTOR

12

The Amplifier Cascade Factor Chart (on previous page) isused to predict performance considering the contribution ofvarious numbers of amplifiers. It assumes that all amplifiersare operated at the same level (input level for noise, outputlevel for distortion). This is generally the case in a UnityGain Based System.

Example: What is the trunk CTB after 13 trunk amplifiers?

Given: 1 Single trunk amplifier CTB specification is 87 dB @ 32 dBmV flat (from Manufacturers. specs.)

2 Trunk output is 25 dBmV, channel 2Trunk output is 32 dBmV, channel 60(7 dB linear tilt)

Step 1 Re-rate performance of single amp based on actual operating level.

Geometric tilt center = 28.5 dBmV

Add .5 dB correction factor = 29 dBmV average level

32 - 29 = 3 dB x 2 (for CTB) = 6 dB

87 dB + 6 dB = 93 dB CTB @ 29 dBmV average level

Step 2 Find cascade factor for CTB for 13 amps, on the chart = 22.28 dB

Step 3 Subtract cascade factor from single amp operating performance

93 dB - 22.28 = 70.72 dB

CTB = 70.72 dB after 13 amps

SYSTEM CALCULATIONSAMPLIFIER CASCADE FACTOR

SYSTEM CALCULATIONS EXAMPLE

Note: Summing different ratios requires a grasp of the antilog concept.For brevity, the example shown is for CTB only, but the approach isidentical for all system distortion and noise calculations.

Determine End Of Line CTB Given The Following:10 Trunk CTB = 65 dBc1 Bridger CTB = 60 dBc

3 Line Extender CTB = 58 dBc

Step 1. CTBs = 20 log (10 + 10 + 10 )

Step 2. CTBs = 20 log (10 + 10 + 10 )

CTBs = 20 log (antilog -3.25 + antilog -3.00 + antilog -2.90)

Note: To perform the operations in step 2, use the “inverse” log or“antilog” function on most calculators. Antilog (Inverse Log) isused to re-express the different exponent values to voltage so theamounts may be easily summed. Don’t forget the minus sign.

Step 3. CTBs = 20 log (5.62 x 10 + 1 x 10 + 1.26 x 10 )

Step 4. CTBs = 20 log (5.62 x 10 + 10 x 10 + 12.6 x 10 )

Step 5. CTBs = 20 log (28.12 x 10 )

CTB = 51 dBc

COMBINING TWO X-MOD OR CTB PERFORMANCERATINGS (20 LOG)

Example:Combine trunk and bridger CNR to find the resultant CNR at the Bridgeroutput (no line extenders).Trunk CNR = 56.5 dB Bridger CNR = 65 dBdB difference = 65 - 56.5 = 8.5 dBdB subtraction figure = 0.6 dBBridger output CNR = 56.5 - 0.6 = 55.9 dBSo then, the resultant CNR measure is about 55.9 dB.

The 20 log & 10 log derate charts are used to sum different ratios. The following ex.ample demonstrates how:Step 1 Sum Trunk and Bridger CTB

1.1 Find the dB difference between the two ratios (65-60=5 dB)1.2 Look up the derate (dB Subtraction) for 5.0 dB

difference in the chart (3.88 dB)1.3 Derate the poorer of the two CTB ratios by this amount

(60-3.9=56.1 dBc)Step 2 Sum the Sum of Trunk and Bridger from Step 1 with the

line extenders2.1 Find the dB difference between the two ratios

(58-56.12=1.88)2.2 Look up the derate (dB Subtraction) for 1.88 dB

difference in the chart (5.12) (round 1.88 up to 1.9).2.3 Derate the poorer of the two CTB ratios by this amount

(56.12 - 5.12 = 51.0 dBc)

CURRENT RATINGS FOR ELECTRONIC CABLESThe maximum continuous current rating for an electronic cable is limited by

conductor size, number of conductors contained within the cable, maximum temperature rating of the cable, and environmental conditions such as ambient temperature and air flow. To use the current capacity chart, first determine conductor size, temperature rating, andnumber of conductors from the applicable product description for the cable of interest.

Next, find the current value on the chart for the proper temperature rating and conductorsize. To calculate the maximum current rating/conductor, multiply the chart value by theappropriate conductor factor. The chart assumes cable is surrounded by still air at an ambienttemperature of 25˚ C. Current values are in RMS Amperes and are valid for copper conductorsonly.

CABLE AND EQUALIZER FORMULAS

1. CABLE LOSS RATIOThe ratio of cable attenuation at two frequencies is approximatelyequal to the square root of the ratio of the two frequencies.

Example: To calculate the approximate cable loss at 55 MHzwhen the loss at 450 MHz is 20 dB,

2. TILT TO CABLE LOSSTo convert tilt (differential in signal level between end frequenciesof the cable bandpass) to cable loss at the highest frequency:

Example: To calculate the cable loss at the highest frequency when the measured tilt is 12 dB between 55 and 450 MHz

Cable Loss Ratio = f 1f 2

Attenuation (at 55 MHz) = x 20 = 6.99 dB55 450

Example: To calculate the loss of an equalizer for 20 dB of cable at 450 MHz at a frequency f1 of 55 MHz,

Loss at f = Eq. Value - (( Eq. value x ) -1)f 1f 2

Use this chart tofind a cable span’sattenuation at anew frequency ifyou already knowits attenuation atone frequency.

If you know thecable loss at f1and want to findthe correspondingloss at a higherfrequency f2multiply the lossat f1 by the conversion factor.The result is thecable loss at f2.

If you know thecable loss at f2and want to findthe correspondingloss at a lowerfrequency f1divide the loss atf2 by the conver-sion factor. Theresult is the cableloss at f1.

Example: If a cable span attenuates a 220 MHz signal by10 dB, by how much will it attenuate a 300 MHz signal?Loss at 300 MHz = Loss at 220 MHz x conversion factor

= 1O dB x 1.168= 11.68 dB

CABLE LOSS AND TEMPERATURE

This equation calculates the percentage of change in cable attenuation(loss) caused by a temperature change:

% change in cable loss = 1.1% per 10°F

This equation calculates the change in cable loss in a span of cable,expressed in dB.

change in cable loss (in dB) =standard loss x % change in cable loss

Example: If the standard loss is 22 dB* when the temperature is70°F and the temperature drops to -40°F, what is the change in attenuation for that cable span?

1. Determine the number of degrees of temperature change.T = T2 - T1 = (-40°F) - 70°F = (-110° F)

2. Find the percent change in cable loss.% change = 1% per 10°F x (-110°F)

= (1%/10°F) x (-110°F)= - 11%

3. Find the dB change in the span’s loss.Change in cable loss (in dB) = -11% x 22 dB

= -2.42 dB

So, if the span’s loss was 22 dB at 70°F it becomes22 dB + (-2.42 dB) = 19.58 dB at -40°F.

Changes in cable loss accumulate over multiple cable spans and cancause performance degradation if not controlled by AGC/ASC units.

GHOSTSGhosts are duplicates of the reproduced picture located to the rightor left of the picture. Ghosts displaced to the left are generally dueto ingress , for example, direct pick up. Assuming ghosts are notpresent in the signals at the headend, ghosts displaced to the rightare generally indicative of impedance mismatches in the system, for

example, devices with poor return loss.The following will help to find the causeof a ghost that is displaced to the right.

25845 = constant derived from speed of light x scan time for horizontal lineX = distance in feet between the source of reflection and re-reflectiond = displacement of ghost on TV set in inchesD = horizontal width of TV set in inches

Vp = Velocity of Propagation referenced to free air

Example:TV screen, D = 24 inches wideGhost image, d = 0.16 inches wideVelocity of propagation for cable, Vp = 0.88

X = (25845 ft) x (0.16 in) x (0.88) = 152 ft between devices24 in.

Once distance X is calculated, check the system maps for both (1) the circumstance where there are devices that are approximately distance Xapart and (2) that the circumstance is between to the signal source and the location where the ghost is being viewed.

BROADBAND RF NETWORK POWERINGIn order to properly design AC powering, several things must be considered:• What AC voltage will provide the best performance / least number

of power supplies?• What AC voltage can the network's active components use for powering?• What are the operating voltages, minimum and maximum,

of all network devices?• Current Draw - Know the product nuances

eg 1. Linear supplies may draw more current when a lower input voltage tap is selected and vice versa.

2. True switching supplies automatically draw less current for a higher input voltage and vice versa. Scanning the SMI interdiction charts on pages 1-65 thru 1-67 should help.

• What is the AC current passing capacity of all network devices, active and passive?

• Will any power be required for customer premise devices?• Will additional powering requirements be needed later,

such as RF return amplifiers?• To what percentage of efficiency will you be loading your power supplies?** Efficiency rating (how much of the maximum available current to

use). Rule of thumb is an 80% efficiency rating • Will your power supplies have battery backup (standby) and if so, how

much running time will you expect to achieve before battery depletion?• Will you try to locate your power supplies along key locations of the

electric company's power grid? Example: If a customer's electric service goes down, will they still have Broadband signals or can you coordinate the two losses of service?

• Will you have special designs such as express feeder, where only trunk but no distribution plant will have any AC voltage or current present? (does not allow for powering of subscriber devices).

• Will you have separate power supplies for distribution plant to power short amplifier cascades and interdiction units and/or subscriber devices? This leaves the power supplies for fiber optic nodes and trunk amplifiers longer standby run time.

BROADBAND RF NETWORK POWERINGIt is best that the current from a power supply is distributed equally to the'input' side and 'output' side of the power inserter. The reason is that devicesadded to one side of the power inserter will not lower the voltages to deviceson the other side. This allows more 'reach' per power supply; more devicescan be powered than if there is a single cable extending only in one direction.It is critical to remember that an AC power supply is powering devices thatare both upstream (toward headend) and downstream (away from headend).

Adding active devices to a cable increases the total current draw through thatcable, reducing voltages to all active devices due to the IR loss of the cable.(It is critical to remember that when an additional active component is addedto a cable, voltages and current must be recalculated for every active devicefed from that side of the power inserter.)

Here is a simple powering design using some known quantities. (fig. 1)

1. The voltage from the power supply in figure 1 is 60 VAC.2. Amplifier 'A' in figure 1 draws 1.0 ampere of current.3. The loop resistance of the cable in figure 1 is 1.7 ohms per 1000'.• The loop resistance of the span of cable in figure 1 is calculated by

multiplying 1.7 ohms by 1.2 thousand feet to achieve 2.04 ohms.• The voltage drop through the cable will equal 1.0 ampere X 2.04 ohms

or 2.04 volts.• The voltage at amplifier 'A' will be 60 VAC minus 2.04 VAC or 57.96

volts AC.

PSA-599815 Ampere Capacity60 VAC

Figure 1

BROADBAND RF NETWORK POWERINGAdding another amplifier beyond amplifier 'A' has this effect on thedesign: (fig. 2)

1. Amplifier 'B' in figure 2 draws 2.5 amperes of current.• The loop resistance of the second span of cable is calculated by

multiplying 1.7 ohms by 1.2 thousand feet to achieve 2.38 ohms.

• The current draws of the two amplifiers are added totaling 3.5 amperes.

• The voltage drop through the first span of cable increases to 7.14 volts because the current drawn by amplifier 'B' must also flow through it. The second span of cable will only carry the current drawn by amplifier 'B'.

• The current draw through the second span of cable is 2.5 amperes (amplifier 'B' only) X 2.38 ohms = 5.95 volts.

• The voltage at amplifier 'A' becomes 60 VAC minus 7.14 VAC or 52.86 volts AC.

• The voltage at amplifier 'B' will be 52.86 VAC minus 5.95 VAC or 46.91 volts AC.

A diagram of a more complicated network powering design for one half ofthe power inserter is shown in figure 3.

BROADBAND RF NETWORK POWERING

Power Supply Locating Hints:• Basically approach the design by moving from the last active device,

toward the anticipated power supply location.• Begin with the assumption that the minimum voltage plus saftey margin

(start voltage) will be delivered to the last active device.• Use the cable span loop resistance from the last active device to calculate the

voltage drop of the span. Calculate the additional voltage drop for each additional active device moving device by device and span by span.

• Add the current draw from all active devices until each side of the power inserter accounts for roughly 40% of the total rated power supply current capacity, while ensuring that the sum of all the voltage drops and the start voltage does not exceed the power supply rated output voltage.

• To check the design perform the calculations again, starting at the power supply and moving away from it.

• Design system so that the power supply’s total current is near the manufacturers efficiency ratings (roughly 80% of maximum).

• Maintain voltages above the minimum active device requirements.• Make sure your power supply locations can be reached easily for

maintenance and repair and can be legally installed.• Plan for new subdivisions. Leave extra powering available for them.

AERONAUTICAL OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Frequency OffsetsAll carrier signals or signal components carried at an average powerlevel equal to or greater than 10 -4 watts in a 25 kHz bandwidth in any160 microseconds period must operate at frequencies offset from cer-tain frequencies which may be used by aeronautical radio servicesoperated by FCC licensees or by the United States Government or itsAgencies. The following table summarizes the frequency offsetrequirements.

For Harmonically Related Carrier (HRC) systems, the fundamental fre-quency from which the visual carrier frequencies are derived should bea multiple of 6.0003 MHz ±1 Hz.

ANTENNA - GENERAL INFORMATION

Factors Which Determine The Quality Of Reception:A) Distance to transmitterB) Height of transmitting antennaC) Transmitter powerD) Transmitter frequency (TV channel)E) Type of receiving antennaF) Height of receiving antennaG) Terrain between the transmitter and receiving antennaH) Obstacles between the transmitter and receiving antenna

(tall buildings, water tower, etc.)Major Characteristics:Gain: Indicates the amount of received signal level increase

as compared to reference antenna. (usually a resonant dipole)

Bandwidth: The range of frequencies (TV channels) over which the antenna is designed to operate. In principle, there are two types of antennas:

1) Broadband2) Single-Channel

Impedance: Home type antennas are usually 300 OHMs and commercial antennas are usually 75 OHMs.

Pattern: Generally consists of two components, beam width and front to back ratio. Refer to diagram.
