SAFETY SUMMARY

The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedures and therefore do
not appear elsewhere in this publication. These are recommended precautions that personnel must
understand and apply them during many phases of operation and maintenance.

ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES PRECAUTIONS

Since most modules used in all models of equipment have Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive devices
included in them, all modules should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Handling in the field
shall be the same as in the factory. Each system is shipped with a wrist strap that must be worn while
maintaining the equipment. The wrist strap shall be fastened to the equipment chassis either in the
designated plug-in or attached to the equipment chassis with the alligator clip. The wrist strap must be used
before any modules are removed from the equipment and at all times while handling the modules until they
are placed in a protective environment such as an anti-static bag. Modules or boards must not be placed on
any non-conducting surface such as wooden work benches, painted metal work benches, plastics, or
technical manuals. Any work surface to be used must have a conducting mat placed on it and attached to
earth ground. The mat and additional wrist straps can be obtained from Airport Systems International, Inc.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

Operating personnel must at all times observe all safety regulations. Under no circumstances should any
person remove any protective covers that expose lethal voltages. Do not replace components or make
adjustments inside the equipment with primary power supply turned on. Under certain conditions,
dangerous potentials may exist when the power is in the off position, due to charges retained by capacitors.
To avoid casualties, always remove power and allow time for the capacitors to discharge before touching
it.

DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

Under no circumstances should any person reach into or enter the enclosure for the purpose of servicing or
adjusting the equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.

RESUSCITATION

Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation.

below, that all mechanical and electrical parts of products which it manufactures (the "Products") will be
free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of (i) one year from the date of installation or (ii)
eighteen (18) months from the date of shipment, whichever first occurs (the "Warranty Period").

B. If the Customer believes a Product is defective, notice thereof shall be provided to the Manufacturer's
Customer Service Department at the address provided on the cover page and (if applicable) to the selling
Distributor. A defect in materials and workmanship covered by this warranty shall be deemed to have occurred
only if, and as of the time when, the Manufacturer is notified in writing by the Customer, within the Warranty
Period, that the Product has become defective, and the Manufacturer's personnel verify that the said Product,
in fact, does not comply with the warranty provided hereunder and it is determined that:

(i) The Products, during the entire Warranty Period, have been operated within normal service conditions
recommended by the Manufacturer and recognized in the industry, and

(ii) The Products have been installed and adjusted according the Manufacturer's procedures as stated
in the Instruction Manual or other instructions supplied in writing by the Manufacturer.

C. Failures caused by lightning or other acts of God, or power surges, are not considered to be defects
in materials and workmanship and are not covered under this warranty. Routine maintenance and calibration
are also not considered to be defects in materials and workmanship and are not covered under this warranty,
Any change, modification or alteration of the Manufacturer's Products not specifically authorized by the
Manufacturer will void this warranty.

D. Any circuit board or module returned to the factory for warranty coverage, must be enclosed in an
electrostatic sensitive device (ESD) protective wrapping. If circuit board or module is not received in an
ESD protective wrap, any and all warranty will be null and void.

E. If it is determined that the conditions for warranty coverage, as described above, have been satisfied,
the Manufacturer shall repair or replace the defective Products or parts thereof in accordance with the following
procedures:

(i) Customer will contact the Manufacturer's Customer Service Department which will issue the Customer
a Return Authorization (RA) number.

(ii) The component, defective part, or Product, as appropriate, shall be returned to the Manufacturer
for inspection, freight prepaid by the Customer. The RA number must be clearly displayed on the
exterior of the shipping container. No shipments will be accepted without a RA number. All customs
duties, fees, etc. will be paid by the Customer.

(iii) If, upon inspection, it is determined by Manufacturer's personnel that the Product or component
thereof is indeed defective and covered by this warranty, then Manufacturer, at its option, may either
repair the Product or defective component thereof and return the same to the Customer or ship a
replacement for the defective Product or part thereof, freight paid. All customs duties, fees, etc. will
be paid by the Customer. The Product or component thereof will be returned to the customer utilizing
a shipping mode similar to that used by Customer to ship the same to the Manufacturer.

(iv) If, upon inspection by Manufacturer, it is determined that the Product or component thereof was
not defective or was not covered by this warranty, then the cost of all of Manufacturer's inspections
and the return shipping charges will be charged to Customer.

F. The Manufacturer reserves the right to make modifications and alterations to Products without obligation
to install such improvements on, in, or in place of theretofore manufactured Products of Manufacturer.

1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION.- Refer to figure 1-1. The capture-effect localizer antenna array radiates
RF energy supplied by the capture-effect localizer transmitter to produce two separate VHF signals in space,
one from the course transmitter and one from the clearance transmitter. The course transmitter output is fed
to all 14 antennae to produce a narrow antenna pattern intended to provide coverage within a few degrees
of the runway extended centerline. This pattern is narrow to minimize reflections from terrain irregularities
or structures near the runway, providing the straightest possible approach path. The clearance transmitter
signal is fed to the center 6 antennae of the array to provide a broad pattern to provide guidance signals
outside of the narrow course antenna pattern, out to 35 degrees either side of the runway extended centerline.
The aircraft receiver circuitry will select, or be "captured" by, the stronger of the two signals, depending on
the aircraft's location in space. These signals are modulated by information used to laterally guide an aircraft
into accurate alignment with the centerline of an airport runway during approach and landing under
instrument flight conditions. The following description applies to either the course transmitter output or the
clearance transmitter output.

The signal radiated is formed by two different VHF signals, a Carrier-Plus-Sideband (CSB) and a Sideband-
Only (SBO) signal. The CSB is a VHF carrier wave at an assigned frequency in the range of 108 to 112
MHz that is amplitude modulated to equal depths by the 90 Hz and 150 Hz audio navigational tones. The
SBO signal is a double sideband, suppressed carrier, of 90 Hz and 150-Hz tones. The phase of the SBO 90
Hz modulation is opposite in phase to that of the 90 Hz CSB modulation. The two signals combine in space
to form a space modulated wave with a difference between the depth of the 90 Hz modulation and the depth
of the 150 Hz modulation that varies within prescribed limits as a function of azimuth relative to the
extended centerline of the runway. The nature of this variation causes the signal received by an approaching
aircraft:

a. to be predominantly 90 Hz modulated when the aircraft is to the left of the runway extended
centerline.

b. to be predominantly 150 Hz modulated when the aircraft is to the right of the runway extended
centerline.

c. to have a difference in depth of modulation (DDM) equal to zero when the aircraft is on the runway
extended centerline.

SECTION 2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 INTRODUCTION.- This section contains system level theory and sub-assembly level theory of
operation. System level theory discussion is supported by a block diagram. Sub-assembly level theory of
operation is addressed to off-site maintenance.

Theory of operation for each sub-assembly is explained, when required, at block diagram level and at
detailed circuit level. Circuit theory is placed immediately after the block diagram theory. Subjects covered
are: LPD antenna, antenna radiation patterns, RF distribution, misalignment, and power distribution.

2.2 BLOCK DIAGRAM THEORY.- Refer to figure 2-1.

2.2.1 General.- The localizer antenna array is utilized in conjunction with a VHF transmitter to provide the
proper signals in space for proper azimuth guidance on an instrument approach. The capture effect antenna
system generates two individual antenna patterns. The distribution network applies the course frequency
CSB and SBO signals to all 14 antennae in the array to generate the highly directional narrow pattern. The
clearance frequency CSB and SBO signals are fed to the center 6 antennae in the array (pairs 1, 2, and 3) to
generate the wide pattern used to provide proper clearance signals when an aircraft is away from the runway
centerline. The narrow course frequency pattern provides straighter approach paths than a conventional
single frequency system, with the clearance frequency providing proper guidance signals in the region away
from runway centerline.

2.2.2 RF Distribution Network.- The CSB and SBO signals from both the course frequency and clearance
frequency localizer transmitters are applied directly into the RF distribution network. This is a passive RF
network which divides the incoming RF in the proper amplitude and phase relationships for the antenna
array. The output of the network is applied via RF cables to each antenna element.

2.2.3 RF Combining Assembly.- A sample of RF from each antenna element is applied to the RF
Combining Assembly. The samples are combined to simulate the radiated signals in space. The unit
provides the proper phasing and addition to provide an analog of the CSB and SBO signals. Both course
frequency and clearance frequency CSB and SBO output signals appear at their respective connectors. These
signals are separated for monitoring purposes in the mixer / detector assemblies.

Rev. - January, 1995 2-1


CAPTURE-EFFECT LOCALIZER LPD ANTENNA

Figure 2-1. LPD Antenna Array, Block Diagram.

2.2.4 Monitor Combining Network.- The Monitor Combining Network is a dual device, with separate
sections for the course frequency monitor and the clearance frequency monitor. The outputs of the RF
Combining Network are power split and applied to both halves of the Monitor Combining Network. The
CSB samples are divided to provide an "ON Course" monitor (CSB only) and a "Width" monitor (Combined
CSB and SBO) for each signal. Note that both signals are present in each half of the Monitor Combining
Network, but each half is set up and optimized for the proper frequency signal. Signal separation occurs in
the detector assemblies connected to the outputs of the Monitor Combining Network.

2.2.5 Integral Detectors.- Along with a sample of the Course and Clearance Local Oscillator (LO) signal,
the two outputs of the dual MRU are applied to the integral detectors. Each detector provides an audio
output of the Course/Clearance "Centerline" and "Width" monitor sample. The output is a composite 90/150
Hz signal on a DC level.

2-2 Rev. - January, 1995


CAPTURE-EFFECT LOCALIZER LPD ANTENNA

2.2.6 Field Monitor Control Assembly.- The outputs of the Integral Detectors are applied to the field
monitor control assembly. This assembly contains a microprocessor which digitally filters the audio signals
and computes the centerline DDM, width DDM, SDM, ID level, and RF levels on all the Course and
Clearance integral detectors. This information is then applied via a digital data link to the transmitter
Microprocessor Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) (1A12). This assembly also contains the interface for
detecting cable faults (shorts or opens) and antenna misalignment. A DC voltage (applied through the RF
distribution unit, feed cables, antenna elements, monitor cables, and RF combining unit) provides signals
to the field processor for cable fault detection. The digital data record sent to the transmitter control
microprocessor contains the cable fault and misalignment fault indications.

2.2.7 Transient Suppressor.- All interface lines between the field distribution unit assembly and the
localizer shelter are applied through the transient suppressor assembly to prevent damage due to lightning
strikes.

2.2.8 LPD Antenna Element.- The antenna elements utilized are log periodic dipole antennae. Each
element provides a front-to-back ratio of 28.5 dB. The antenna is broadband over the localizer frequencies
of 108 to 112 MHz. A monitor loop antenna is contained within the element to provide an accurate
representation of the far field radiated signal.

2.2.9 Antenna Misalignment Detector.- The antenna misalignment detector consists of a taut line from one
end of the array to the other and a switch in the center. Each rear antenna mounting pedestal is connected
to the taut line. In the event of an antenna misalignment, the switch on the line will "Open", resulting in an
indication to the field monitor control assembly which, in turn, transmits the data to the localizer.

2.2.10 In-line Phasing Detector.- The In-Line Phasing Detector is connected in-line with one of the antenna
feedlines. The detector provides a sample signal with the SBO portion entirely canceled out if the CSB and
SBO RF signals are in phase. The detected audio then reads 0.000 DDM. The detected audio signal is
applied to the field monitor control assembly, where it may be selected by maintenance personnel to
remotely determine the phasing of the facility.

2.3 DETAILED THEORY OF OPERATION.- A detailed theory of the circuits required to radiate the
previously described signal pattern is discussed in the following paragraphs.

2.3.1 LPD Antenna.- The LPD antenna used in the localizer array is a broadband, log-periodic dipole which
consists of seven parallel, horizontally polarized dipole radiators that are fed from a common balanced
transmission line. The balanced transmission line is excited from the front and produces a traveling wave
that progresses toward the rear of the antenna structure. The amount of energy that is extracted from the
passing traveling wave and radiated by a given dipole depends upon the electrical length of that particular
dipole at the operating frequency. Frequency-independent performance is obtained from this log-periodic
structure because dipole lengths and spacing vary so that from function of the resonant element is transferred
smoothly along the structure from one dipole to the next as the operating frequency changes.

Rev. - January, 1995 2-3


CAPTURE-EFFECT LOCALIZER LPD ANTENNA

The LPD antenna element radiation pattern produced is shown in figure 2-2. The half power beam width
of this pattern is approximately ±30E, and the front-to-back ratio is very nearly 29 dB over the localizer
frequency band. The level of RF energy radiated at right angles to the axis of the antenna is extremely low
because the gain of the element is this direction is essentially zero. As a result, mutual coupling between
adjacent elements in this antenna array is approximately 30 dB, refer to figure 2-3.

2.3.2 Antenna Radiation Patterns.- Refer to Figures 2-2 through 2-5.

2.3.2.1 Antenna Element Radiation Pattern.- Single element radiation pattern for the LPD antenna element
is shown in figure 2-2. A front-to-back ratio of 28.5 dB is achieved across the localizer band with a
bandwidth (3 dB) of approximately 60 degrees.

The localizer antenna array radiates a horizontally polarized RF carrier wave at an assigned frequency in the
range of 108 to 112 MHz, which is amplitude modulated by two audio-navigational tones having frequencies
of 90 Hz and 150 Hz. The nature of the radiated signal must be such that there is a difference between the
depth of the 90 Hz modulation and the depth of the 150 Hz modulation, which varies within prescribed
limits as a function of azimuth relative to the extended centerline of the runway. Localizer systems require
that it radiates a signal (quality and field strength) a distance of at least 18 nautical miles from the
transmitting antenna at all azimuths within ±10E of the runway extended centerline and at 10 nautical miles
from the array at all azimuths between ±10E and ±35E from the extended centerline.

The capture effect localizer antenna array generates two separate guidance signals. The narrow, directional
pattern is driven by the course frequency transmitter 4 KHz above the assigned channel frequency. The
broad pattern is driven by the clearance frequency transmitter, 4 KHz below the assigned channel frequency.
Each pattern consists of CSB and SBO signals to provide proper guidance information. The narrow course
frequency pattern allows operation under difficult site conditions that would cause a more conventional
single frequency localizer antenna system to have out of tolerance course roughness caused by reflections
from nearby obstructions and terrain features. Because of it's narrow design, the course frequency antenna
pattern has several small sidelobes within the ±35 degree region that could cause erroneous guidance
information. The broad pattern driven by the clearance frequency transmitter serves to "cover up" these
small sidelobes, effectively hiding them from an aircraft receiver. The AGC system in an aircraft receiver
will respond to the larger of the two signals present at the receiver input, suppressing the lower level signal.
The receiver is said to be captured by the larger signal, hence the "capture effect" localizer transmitter and
antenna system. This provides proper operation of the aircraft guidance equipment to the ±35 degree from
runway centerline requirement.

Figure 2-3. Antenna Radiation Chart.

The antenna system is typically referred to as two separate antenna arrays, the course array and the clearance
array. This is accomplished by providing the proper distribution of both the course frequency transmitter
signals and the clearance frequency transmitter signals to the appropriate antennae in the array. This is done
by the RF Distribution Network, which provides the proper amplitude and phase of each input signal to the
antennae.

The operation of one of the antenna "arrays" is described below. The description applies to either the course
array or the clearance array. The only differences between the course and clearance arrays are the amplitude
and phase of the drive signals and the number of antennae driven. The course frequency transmitter drives
all 14 antennae, whereas the clearance frequency transmitter signals are only applied to the center 6
antennae.

Each "array" radiates two different VHF waves. One of the these signals is referred to as the CSB signal.
The CSB signal takes the form of a VHF carrier wave that is amplitude-modulated to equal depths by the
two audio navigational tones. The other signal radiated by the antenna array is the SBO signal. The SBO
signal takes the form of a double sideband, suppressed carrier wave which is also equally modulated by the
two audio navigational tones. The audio phase of the 90 Hz modulation on the SBO signal is opposite to
the audio phase of the 90 Hz modulation on the CSB signal. The CSB and SBO signals combine in space
to form a space modulated wave. The character of the space modulation can be varied by tailoring the
shapes of the CSB and SBO radiation patterns.

CAPTURE-EFFECT LOCALIZER LPD ANTENNA

2.3.2.2 CSB Pattern.- For the course frequency CSB pattern, refer to figure 2-4. The clearance frequency
CSB pattern is shown in figure 2-5. The CSB pattern is generated by pairs of radiating antennae. Each pair
of antennae is fed with equal amplitude and in-phase signals. This provides a maximum radiated signal level
on the runway centerline. Radiated signal level decreases away from the runway centerline and, eventually,
the radiated signal will be null at a determinable angle. The location of a null depends upon the spacing
between antenna elements of the pair. The CSB pattern is tailored using the following parameters:

a. spacing of elements
b. number of pairs of elements
c. amplitude distribution among pairs of elements
d. pair to pair phasing

Refer to figure 2-6 for the spacing and distribution of the course frequency and clearance frequency arrays.

Figure 2-4. Antenna Radiation Pattern.

Rev. - January, 1995 2-7


CAPTURE-EFFECT LOCALIZER LPD ANTENNA

2.3.2.3 SBO Pattern.- SBO pattern is generated by pairs of radiating antennae in which each pair of
antennae is fed with equal amplitude by 180E out-of-phase signals. A pair of antennae driven in this manner
will have a null in the radiated signal on the runway centerline. The signal level will increase away from
the centerline, eventually reaching a maximum level, and decreasing thereafter. The angle at which the
maximum signal level is realized depends upon the spacing between antennae. When the SBO signals are
added to CSB signals in space, the resultant RF signal has a difference between the depth of 90 Hz
modulation and the depth of the 150 Hz modulation. The greater the relative SBO signal level is with
respect to the CSB signal level, the greater the difference is in depth of modulation. SBO signals cancel in
space at the runway centerline resulting in a zero depth of modulation (.000 DDM).

2.3.3.1 Field Monitor Control Assembly (2A1A4).- The Field Monitor Control Assembly contains a
backplane (motherboard), Microprocessor, Analog I/O, Lower Voltage Power Supply, and Antenna
Fault/External Interface CCAs. The Microprocessor CCA digitally filters the audio signals and computes
the centerline DDM, width DDM, SDM, and RF levels of each pair of integral detectors, as well as the Ident
levels, for the course and clearance signals. This information is then transmitted via a digital data link to
the localizer transmitter control microprocessor. The unit also contains the interface (antenna fault) for
detecting cable faults (shorts or opens) and antenna misalignment. A DC voltage, which is applied through
the RF distribution unit, feed cables, antenna elements, monitor cables, and RF combining unit, provides
signals to the microprocessor for cable fault detection. The digital data records sent to the localizer
transmitter control microprocessor contain the cable fault and misalignment fault indications.

2.3.3.1.1 Low Voltage Power Supply (2A1A4A1).- The Low Voltage Power Supply CCA provides all
voltages (±15 Vdc and +5 Vdc) for the Field Monitor Control Assembly. The primary DC voltage (+28
Vdc) provides the input for both switching power supply modules. The transient suppressors protect the
modules against damage from an over voltage condition. At the output of the modules, each of the regulated
voltages are filtered.

2.3.3.1.2 Low Voltage Power Supply Detailed Circuit Theory.- Refer to figure 11-2. The Low Voltage
Power Supply CCA is made up of two separate circuits, one supplying ±15 Vdc and the other +5 Vdc. In
the first circuit, the +28 Vdc primary supply is filtered by capacitor C1 and then applied to PS2, a dual
output DC/DC converter that supplies a positive and negative 15 Vdc with ±1% regulation under load.
Transient suppressor RV1 protect the circuit against over voltages, including induced lightning. RV1
suppressor has a reverse stand-off voltage of 12.8 Vdc and a breakdown voltage of 14.3 to 15.8 Vdc. The
output voltages are filtered by single capacitors C3 and C6.

The +5 Vdc supply circuit is similar. Power supply PS1 has a single output, which is approximately +5.2
Vdc. Capacitor C7 filters the output voltage.

2.3.3.1.3 Microprocessor CCA (2A1A4A2).- The microprocessor samples the detected RF signals from
the two course and two width integral detectors, computes the RF levels, DDM levels, and SDM levels and
then outputs the information digitally to the control microprocessor in the localizer transmitter through the
ACIA on the Analog I/O CCA.

2.3.3.1.4 Microprocessor CCA (2A1A4A2) Detailed Circuit Theory.- Refer to figure 11-3. The
Microprocessor CCA is the heart of the remote maintenance monitoring and control system. The board uses
an 8-bit architecture with 64K of address space controlled by a Rockwell 65C02 CPU (U4). Six devices are
connected to the data bus on the board. U1 is an 2K by 8 static RAM used for variable and buffer storage.
The EPROM, U2, holds all of the microprocessor program instructions and jump vectors. The size of U2
is set to either 16K , 32K , or 64K using jumper terminals E10 through E15. In this Field Monitor
application, jumpers E13 and E14 are connected, selecting a 32K EPROM (27C128). Two versatile
Interface Adapter (VIA) chips, U8 and U9, each provide two 16-bit internal counter timers plus
microprocessor interrupt registers. U10 is a 128 macrocell Erasable Programmable Logic Device (EPLD)
used primarily to read and write digital data to connectors J1 and J2 by emulating the VIA data port registers.
The EPLD controls U5 which is a data bus transceiver that connects the microprocessor data bus to external
connector P1.

Other functions performed by the EPLD include dividing down the on-board oscillator Y1 to 921.6 KHz and
providing the following buffered signals to P1: R/W, 1.8 MHz, and PH-2. All address decoding is
performed with a 22V10 PAL. The PAL, U6, also provides read and write logic decoding.

U7 is a microprocessor supervisory chip that provides a 200 ms reset pulse during power-up. It also protects
the system from inadvertent writes during power-down by resetting the microprocessor when the supply
voltage falls below 4.65 volts. It also provides a microprocessor watchdog circuit that will reset the software
if a transition on the watchdog input line is not seen in at least 1.6 seconds. In this Field Monitor
application, the jumper between E3 and E4 is removed, which disables this microprocessor watchdog circuit.

Jumper terminals E1 and E2 are provided to manually reset the microprocessor software by momentarily
shorting the two pins. Jumpers E16 and E17 provide baud rate selection for the external terminal. In this
Field Monitor application, connecting these two jumpers forces the baud rate for the RS-232 data to 2400.
With this jumper removed, which is the default for this application, the baud rate is selected by the state of
TB3-9 on the Field Monitor enclosure - 2400 baud if this terminal is grounded, 4800 baud if it is left
disconnected. In this Field Monitor application, jumpers E18 and E19 configure the system for different
clock frequencies. In the default configuration, this jumper is removed, indicating a 1 MHz system clock.
Connecting these jumpers configures the software for a 2 MHz clock. Jumper terminals E5, E6, E7, and E8
are provided for backwards compatibility with the SEEQ 52B13 EEPROM or software written to use this
part. This application does not use an EEPROM, so these pins are left unconnected.

In the Field Monitor software, the DDM and SDM measurements are calculated by a process of
accumulating 45 samples of each audio channel at a rate of 450 Hz, multiplying the accumulators by the
appropriate constants, and then combining the products into the 90 Hz and 150 Hz component magnitudes.
These magnitudes are then used to calculate the DDM and SDM values.. The RF Level of each audio
channel is calculated by averaging the samples from each detector. Once the parameters of all four audio
channels have been calculated, the data record is constructed, including the current antenna fault data and
ID levels, and sent to the system's transmitter for analysis.

2.3.3.1.5 Analog I/O CCA (2A1A4A3) Block Diagram Theory.- The primary function of the Analog I/O
CCA is to interface the Microprocessor CCA (1A12) and the sampled analog voltages from the system. The
station monitored parameter data acquisition process is accomplished by using a 16-channel single-ended
multiplexer and a 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). Several important system parameters are
processed into dc analog voltages and applied to the inputs of 16-bit multiplexer U1. As each channel is
selected under the control of the microprocessor, the analog signal is passed through as a 12-bit digital word.
However, because the data bus is only eight bits wide, the microprocessor directs A/D converter U2 to send
the data in two 8-bit word groups. The data bus is connected to microprocessor assembly (1A1) via the
backplane connector.

Asynchronous communications interface adapter (ACIA) U3 is the interface device that allows the
microprocessor to communicate with another communications device by means of an external serial
communications port.

2.3.3.1.6 Analog I/O CCA (2A1A4A3) Detailed Circuit Theory.- Refer to figure 11-4. The primary
function of this assembly is to convert sixteen single-ended analog input channels to 12-bit digital words
to be read by the microprocessor for digital signal processing.

The CCA also provides serial data transmission conforming to EIA standard RS-232-C between the
microprocessor and the ILS system's transmitter. Asynchronous Communications Interface Adapter (ACIA)
U3 is the interface between the microprocessor controlled parallel data bus at backplane connector P1 and
an external serial communications device. The ACIA has an internal baud rate generator driven by a 1.8432
MHz clock source at P1-17C and may be set under program control to any one of 15 different rates from 50
to 19,200 baud. The ACIA has programmable word lengths of 5, 6, 7, or 8 bits. It can have even, odd, or
no parity and 0, 1, or 2 stop bits. The Field Monitor software configures the ACIA to operate at either 2400
or 4800 baud with an 8-bit word, 1 stop bit, and no parity bit.

The base address of the ACIA is set by the address decoding that drives the UART line on P1-18C offset
by hex 40. For example, if UART goes low on hexadecimal address 1000 to 1FFF then the base address
for U3 is 1040. Once the chip is enabled, then the four internal registers can be selected using RS0 and RS1.

U4 and U5 are the level converters used to convert the TTL signals (+5V=HI, GND=LO) used by the ACIA
to RS-232 levels (-12V=HI, +12V=LO) for transmission, and vise-versa. Handshaking and control lines
RTS, CTS, and DTR are not used for communication, but they are still connected to non-inverting RS-232
drivers and receiver for a default input and future expansion. Data in and out of the ACIA is sent Least
Significant Bit (LSB) first.

The Detected Audio and RF FREQ circuits on this CCA, comprising U6, U7, U8, U9, and their associated
components, are not used in this Field Monitor application.

Analog multiplexer U1 and A/D convertor U2 form a precision 16-channel data acquisition system which
converts a voltage signal into a 16-bit digital word, with 12-bit resolution. Microprocessor address lines A0
through A3 select the input channel to be converted.

MUX U1 selects one of 16 single-ended analog input signals (CH0 through CH15) which is routed to ADC
U2 pin 14 for conversion. The base address of the multiplexer is set by the address decoding that drives the
MUX line on P1-19A. The microprocessor selects a channel by writing a dummy data byte to one of the
MUX addresses. U10C provides the falling edge that latches the address lines to select the next channel to
convert.

Analog to Digital Convertor (ADC) U2 is a 12-bit successive approximation type converter with an on-board
voltage reference and a 20 microsecond conversion time. The analog input voltage range is +10V to -10V.
The base address of the A/D is set by the address decoding that drives the ADC line on P1-20A. The 8 Most
Significant Bits (MSB) of each conversion are read at the base address, while the remaining 4 LSB of the
conversion are located in the upper half of the data read at the base address + 1. The 4 LSB of the base
address + 1 data are always zero. Each analog to digital conversion is initiated by writing a dummy word
to the A/D base address. After at least a 25 microsecond delay, the 12-bit number is read by the
microprocessor in a two step sequence where the base address is read first, followed by the base address +
1, then the full 12-bit digital conversion is recombined by the microprocessor software.

Jumper terminals E1 and E2 are normally connected so ACIA U3 can interrupt the microprocessor each time
an incoming serial data character is received. This jumper should only be removed during troubleshooting
to determine if the ACIA is halting the system by constantly interrupting the microprocessor.

2.3.3.1.7 Antenna Fault/External Interface (2A1A4A4) Detailed Circuit Theory.- See figure 11-5. The
Antenna Fault/External Interface CCA is the interface hardware used to detect cable faults (shorts or opens)
and antenna element misalignment in localizer systems, as well as the interface between the microprocessor
CCA and the external connections for several of the field monitor signals.

The antenna fault section of the CCA includes 14 opto-isolator switches (U1 through U14). The operation
of each of the isolators is identical. If the antenna is working properly (no shorts or opens), current flows
from the RF combiner unit to pin 1 of each opto-isolator, causing the internal transistor to conduct. This

will pull pin 5 LO, which is then buffered by U17, a 74HC244, and sent to the microprocessor when polled.
The microprocessor will then invert the received data before interpreting or displaying it. Conversely, if a
short or open exists, a HIGH will be sent to the microprocessor, which will be inverted into a LO, indicating
an antenna fault. This inversion is done so that antenna faults will be generated if the Field Monitor is
operated without the Antenna Fault/External Interface CCA. Capacitors C1 and C2 are filters for the +28
Vdc supply, while resistors R18 and R19 are current limiters. Capacitors C3 and C4 are filters for the +5
Vdc supply.

The 012770-0001 Antenna Fault/External Interface CCA is similar to the 012552-0001 antenna fault CCA
which was used in previous field monitor designs, with the following exceptions:

1. The 74HCT04 inverting buffers have been replaced with 54HC244 noninverting tri-state
buffers, to change the polarity of the outputs relative to the previous board, and to buffer the
outputs onto the data bus, thus simplifying the field monitor's wiring harness.

2. The resistors in series with the optoisolators have been changed from 100 Ω to 1 KΩ for
better current sharing in dual configurations.

3. Provision have been made for 14 antennae.

4. All unused CMOS inputs have been grounded.

5. Address decoding circuitry has been added to enable the added 54HC244s.

6. 4800/2400*, RESET*, and NMI* functions are now routed through this CCA from the
external connectors on the Field Monitor to simplify the wiring harness and provide
backwards compatibility with all versions of the previous Field Monitors.

Note that the 012770-0001 Antenna Fault/External Interface CCA is functionally compatible with the
previous antenna fault CCA. However, it cannot be used as a substitute or replacement for this board. It
has been designed strictly for use in the 030293-0010/0011 Field Monitor systems.

2.3.3.2 RF Distribution Assembly (2A1A6).- The RF distribution assembly provides the required
distribution of both course and clearance CSB and SBO signals. The CSB and SBO signals go thru a series
of power dividers to achieve the desired amplitude distribution. The CSB and SBO signals are combined
by a combining hybrid to energize each pair of antennae.

The distribution of the CSB and SBO signals is accomplished by a number of miniature, stripline hybrid
couplers and associated 50 ohm microstrip interconnecting circuitry. These hybrid couplers are broadband,
four-port, stripline devices that operate over the frequency range of 108 MHz to 112 MHz.

2.3.3.2.1 Hybrid Couplers.- Refer to figure 2-7. The couplers are broadband stripline directional couplers
which have a electrical length of approximately one-quarter wave-length at the midrange frequency. The
characteristics of the two lines of the directional coupler is that when a traveling wave derived from a 50

ohm source is incident upon the port marked "IN", produces a voltage Ep0E across this port, and all other
ports are terminated in 50 ohm loads,the incident power is equally divided between the two output ports
marked -90E and 0E. The voltage at the port marked -90E is E//2p-90E, and the voltage at the port marked
0E is E//2p0E. There is no RF energy that enters or exits the port marked "ISO" when the "IN" port is
driven. Also, no RF energy appears at the "IN" port when the "ISO" port is driven. As a result, the isolated
port provides a second means of transferring RF energy to the two output ports.

2.3.3.2.2 Unequal Power Division.- Refer to figure 2-8. The first coupler divides the input power , "IN"
port, equally between its two output ports. The output signal at the -90E port of the first hybrid coupler is
applied to the "ISO" port of the second hybrid coupler. The output signal at the 0E port of the first hybrid
coupler is applied to the "IN" port of the second hybrid coupler, thru a delay line, alpha degrees long. The
second hybrid coupler recombines these two input signals. The second hybrid coupler output signals are in
phase with each other and each lags the input signal by alpha/2 +90E. Refer to table 2-1 for amplitude and
phase distribution.

2.3.3.2.3 Combiner/Divider Hybrid Couplers.- Refer to figure 2-9. Each of these directional couplers
receives a composite CSB signal at its "IN" port and a composite SBO signal at its "ISO" port. The output
of each of these couplers consists of a combines CSB-SBO drive signal for one of the antenna elements of
the array. The signal is of proper amplitude and phase for driving a pair of symmetrically disposed radiating
antenna elements located on the 150 Hz side of the antenna array center when the signal at the -90E port is
used to drive corresponding antenna elements on the 90 Hz side of the antenna array center.

2.3.3.3 RF Combiner Assembly (2A1A5).- A sample of RF from each antenna element is applied to the
RF Combining Assembly. The RF combining assembly network takes the monitor sample RF signal from
each of the antennae in the antenna array and provides a two RF signals outputs. One of these outputs is a
sample of the radiated CSB signal, and the other is a sample of the radiated SBO signal. At the output of
the RF Combiner Assembly, both course frequency and clearance frequency signals are present. The signals
are separated for monitoring purposes in the integral detector assemblies. The samples are combined to
simulate the radiated signals in space. The unit provides the proper phasing and addition to provide an
analog of the CSB and SBO signals.

For integral monitoring of the antenna output signals, the RF combining network provides the required
combining function for the sampled signals from each antenna. The 14-element RF combiner is similar in
construction to the RF distribution network described in paragraph 2.3.3.2, but performs essentially the
opposite function. The recombining of the composite CSB and SBO signals is accomplished by means of
a number of miniature stripline hybrid couplers and associated 50 ohm stripline interconnecting lines. Each
coupler, together with a 90E phase lag at one of the two inputs performs as a combiner. The couplers are
arranged so that the signal obtained at output port (J1) is the analog (in-phase) sum of all input signals.
Under normal conditions this sum signal is mostly CSB, and little or no SBO signal. The signal obtained
at output port (J2) is the difference signal between the sum signal of the left side of the array and the sum
signal of the right side of the array. This signal is mostly SBO and little or no CSB signal. The signals are
then routed to power splitter by Hybrid Power Splitter (2A1A9/2A1A10) to route to the dual monitor
combining network.

2.3.3.4 Monitor Combiner Assembly (2A1A1).- Refer to figures 2-10 and 11-1. The Monitor Combining
Assembly is formed from 2 independent Monitor Combiner Networks. One half of the unit is used to
reconstruct the Course centerline and width signals, the other half is for the Clearance signals. The Monitor
Combiner Assembly used in the capture effect system is a dual unit, with two identical complete Monitor
Combiners in one housing. The operation of one of the halves is described herein. After the CSB and SBO
signals are separated by the RF combiner assembly, they are applied to the monitor combining assembly.
In this assembly, the CSB signal is divided into two equal parts by a power divider which is made up of two
quarter (1/4) wave-length transmission lines (W1/W5 and W2/W6) and resistor R20/R40. One output of
this power divider is the on-course monitor signal. The other output is applied to coupler DC1/DC2 where
it is combined with the SBO signal to form the width monitor signal. Resistors R2/R22 thru R4/R24,
capacitor C1/C3, resistors R16/R37 thru R19/R39, and capacitor C2/C4 form a impedance matching and
voltage divider circuit for their respective incoming signals. The SBO signal is applied through a fixed
attenuator, a step attenuator, and a phaser Z1/Z2 before it is combined with the CSB signal in the quadrature
coupler DC1/DC2. The quadrature coupler DC1/DC2 combines CSB and SBO signal for width output
signal. The step attenuator circuit attenuates the SBO signal in steps of 1, 2, 4, or 8 dB, or any combination
of these steps up to fifteen (15) dB. The step attenuator will be set so that the width monitor output will be
as close to 0.155 DDM as possible. Each attenuator setting is placed in the circuit or bypassed by
positioning a jumper on either TB1/TB3 or TB2/TB4. The sideband phaser Z1/Z2 provides that the SBO
signal will be in phase with CSB signal at the width output J4/J8.

2.3.3.5 Integral Detectors (2A1A2/2A1A3).- Two integral detectors provide audio outputs of the Course
and Clearance "Centerline" and "Width" monitor samples as well as providing the detected Ident level in
the Course and Clearance signal. The "Centerline" and "Width" signals are composite 90 and 150 Hz signals
on a DC level, which gives an indication of the carrier power. The Ident signals are DC levels indicating
the Ident modulation.

Two identical Integral Detectors are used to detect the Course and Clearance "Centerline", "Width" and
"Ident" signals. Each half of the dual MRU provides a composite Course and Clearance "Centerline" and
"Width" output. Both of these signals are routed to the appropriate Integral Detector. Each of the Integral
Detectors provides either the Course or the Clearance outputs. The Integral Detector which generates the
Course outputs is also feed a sample of the Clearance Local Oscillator, a sample of the Course Local
Oscillator is routed to the "Clearance" Integral Detector.

The Local Oscillator signal is fed to a impedance matching 3 dB Pi attenuator consisting of resistors R61,
R62 and R63. This signal is then amplified by wideband RF amplifier U8 and then power split by a resistor
divider consisting of R66, R67 and R68 and fed to mixers MX1 and MX2.

RF from the centerline output of the MRU is applied to variable attenuator AT1 (20 dB ± 20%, 50 Ω
impedance), adjustable from -1 to -20 dB. Variable attenuator AT2 (20 dB ± 20%, 50 Ω impedance),
adjustable from -1 to -20 dB, is fed from the width output of the MRU. AT1 and AT2 are used to adjust the
amount of power reaching the detector circuits and sets the output levels of the appropriate detectors. The
output of AT1 is applied to mixer MX1, mixer MX2 is fed from the output of AT2.

2-20 Rev. - January, 1995


CAPTURE-EFFECT LOCALIZER LPD ANTENNA

Mixers MX1 and MX2 are used to separate the Course and Clearance information. In the case of the Course
Integral Detector, the composite Course and Clearance information is mixed with a sample of the Clearance
Local Oscillator. Since the Course information ("Centerline", "Width" and "Ident") is 8 kHz above the
Clearance Local Oscillator, it is mixed down to 8 kHz. The Clearance information ("Centerline", "Width"
and "Ident") is mixed down to DC. In the Clearance Integral Detector, a sample of the Course Local
Oscillator is mixed with the composite input signals to yield the Clearance information. In further
discussions, all descriptions will refer to the Course Integral Detector; the Clearance Integral Detector
functions in an identical fashion.

Amplifiers U1A and U1B (amplifiers U5A and U5B for the width channel) and the surrounding resistors
and capacitors form a 8 KHz bandpass filter. These filters remove the Clearance information from the mixed
composite signals. An active AM detector consisting of amplifier U2A and diode CR1 (amplifier U6A and
CR3 for the width channel) then strips the amplitude modulated 90/150 Hz and Ident signals from the mixed
signal. This signal also contains a DC component which represents the RF power level into the detector.

Amplifier U2B (U6B for the width channel) and the surrounding components is a 1200 Hz lowpass filter
which will remove any harmonics of the Course components and also remove the 8 KHz carrier component
leaving only the 90 Hz, 150 Hz and Ident audio.

The lowpass filtered signal is then split (in the path channel only) and routed to a 1020 Hz bandpass filter
and detector (to remove the 90/150 Hz signal from the Ident signal) and also to a 350 Hz lowpass filter (to
remove the Ident from the 90/150 Hz audio). Amplifiers U3A and U3B (U7A and U7B in the width
channel) and the surrounding components form a 350 Hz lowpass filter to remove the Ident information from
the composite DC (RF input level) and AC (90/150 Hz
modulation) signal.

This signal is the 90/150 Hz plus carrier level centerline signal (width signal for the width channel).
A 350 Hz filter was chosen to provide sufficient Ident rejection and yet provide equal amounts of passed
signal for the 90 and 150 Hz components.

The other half of the split signal (in the "Centerline" channel only) is first fed to a 1020 Hz bandpass filter
consisting of amplifiers U4A and U4B and associated resistors and capacitors. This filter passes only the
Ident portion of the signal, rejecting the 90/150 Hz components. At the output of this filter, diode CR2 and
resistors R34 and R35 and capacitor C16 strip and lowpass filter the Ident signal from the bandpass filter
output. This signal has a DC level which gives the Ident modulation level on the input waveform and
provides it as an output to the Field Processor.

2.3.3.6 Transient Suppressor (2A1A8).- Refer to figure 11-8. All interface lines between the field
distribution unit assembly and the localizer shelter are applied through the transient suppressor assembly to
prevent damage due to lightning strikes. Each pair of wires has two suppressor circuits. The gas tube in
each lightning suppression circuit starts conducting when the voltage developed across the gas tube reaches
90 volts. The zener diodes cut down overshoot and allows the gas tube a chance to react and conduct.

2.3.3.7 In-line Phasing Detector (2A1A7).- Refer to figure 11-7. The in-line phasing detector is connected
in-line with one (1R or 2R) of the antenna feedlines. The detector provides a sample signal with the SBO
portion entirely canceled out if the CSB and SBO RF signals are in phase. The detected audio then reads
.000 DDM. The detected audio signal is applied to the field monitor control assembly, where it may be
selected by maintenance personnel to determine the phasing of the facility remotely.

This detected sample permits a check of the localizer system phasing. A voltage divider consisting of
capacitor C1 and C2 provides a sample RF signal from the feedline to either the 1R or 2R antenna. This RF
signal consists of a carrier modulated by 90 and 150 Hz signals that is detected by diode CR1. Diode CR1
and RC filter, capacitor C3 and resistors R1 and R2, remove the carrier component of the signal. The
remaining 90 and 150 Hz components are routed to the localizer shelter junction box jack via an audio line.
RF choke L1 provides a DC return path for diode CR1.

2.3.4 Misalignment.- Refer to figure 9-7. The misalignment kit consists of a microswitch, two lengths of
cable, an actuating arm, mounting plate, and cables guides. The microswitch, actuating arm, and switch
mounting plate are attached to the 1 left (1L) rear antenna mast. The cable guides are secured to each rear
antenna mast. The cable is strung through the cable guides to the left and right of the microswitch actuating
arm and attached to the last (left and right) antenna mast. The microswitch is connected so it is the normally
closed position. Any movement of an antenna will cause the microswitch to open and cause an alarm.

SECTION 7. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

7.1 INTRODUCTION.- This section contains instructions required for on-site corrective maintenance and
offsite repair of the Capture-Effect Localizer LPD antenna system. Required test equipment is defined and
packing instructions are included in this section.

7.2 TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED.- Refer to section 1 table 1-3 for test equipment requirements.

7.3 ON-SITE CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE.- The following paragraph provides general


troubleshooting information and table 7-1 is the troubleshooting chart. The troubleshooting chart is intended
only as a guide and does not give all possible symptoms or all possible causes of trouble.

7.3.1 General Troubleshooting Information.-

a. Identify the symptom.

b. List the symptoms that you find or a field technician describes. If someone else describes the
symptoms to you, check the symptoms yourself or have that person demonstrate the symptoms to
make sure the problem is not an operator error.

c. Do a careful visual inspection of the suspected assembly, including the following suggestions.

1. Check for signs of excessive heat.

2. Check that all integrated circuits (ICs) are firmly seated in their sockets and that the ICs have
no bent pins.

3. Check that printed circuit board edge connectors are clean and seated fully.

4. Check the ribbon-cable connectors.

d. Check the power supplies. Power supplies are a very common source of problems. Low voltage or
excessive ripple may appear that a IC is bad.

1. Measure the power supply voltages and check that they are within specifications.

2. Check with an oscilloscope to insure that the power supply does not have excessive noise on
the outputs.

Rev. - January, 1995 7-1


CAPTURE-EFFECT LOCALIZER LPD ANTENNA

e. Using an oscilloscope, check waveforms of the suspected faulty assembly against those in this
section.

f. Verify the clock signals. Using an oscilloscope, check that the clock signals are present and correct.

g. Verify the microprocessor input control signals.

1. Check input signals, such as CLOCK, RESET, READY, HOLD, INT, etc., are at the proper
level for normal operations. A common problem is that the processor will get stuck in a
wait, hold, reset, or interrupt condition because of some other hardware problem.

2. If one of these signals is at the wrong level. Refer to the proper schematic and see what is
connected to the input and track down the problem.

h. Verify the microprocessor output control signals.

1. Check active output signals. The absence of these signals indicates a bad processor IC.

2. Check whether pulses are present on lower address lines and data lines. On a normal
oscilloscope these pulses will appear random, this is a quick way to find out whether the
CPU is sending out addresses and whether the data bus is active.

3. Check with an oscilloscope whether the memory decoders are producing chip-select signals.
If a decoder is not producing these signals, the decoder may be defective or may not be
getting enabled.
