may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.”
In accordance with FCC regulations regarding human exposure to radiofrequency
energy, this device shall be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm
is maintained between it and general population.
The antennas used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.

All modules (excluding the Front Panel and Power Amplifier) are interconnected via the
backplane that traverses the entire width of the unit. The backplane contains the various
communication buses as well as the PA (Power Amplifier) control and redundant transfer
circuitry. The power supply levels and status are monitored on the backplane and the NMS/CPU
card processes the data.

The NMS/CPU card incorporates microprocessor and FPGA logic to configure and monitor the
overall operation of the system via front panel controls, LCD screen menus, status LEDs and the
bar graph display. Module settings are loaded into the installed cards and power-up default
settings are stored in non-volatile memory. LCD screen menu software is uploaded into memory,

Figure 1-5. QAM Modem Block Diagram
The QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) Modulator is the transmit portion of the QAM
Modem card. The QAM Modem also houses the IF Up/Down Converter. The QAM Modulator
utilizes the upconverter portion of the IF daughter card.
The QAM Modulator accepts the aggregate data stream via the backplane (see Figure 1-5
above). The module performs modulation at a carrier frequency of 6.4 MHz, adding FEC
(Forward Error Correction) bits while interleaving the blocks of data. The result is a very
spectrally efficient, yet robust linear modulation scheme. This process requires an ultra-stable

The resultant carrier is translated up to 70 MHz by the IF Upconverter (see Figure 1-6). This is
accomplished by a standard mixing of the carrier with a phase-locked LO. A 70 MHz SAW filter
provides an exceptional, spectrally-clean output signal.

1-7 System Description
DataNex EMS Wireless, DATA-20 Digital Radio
Figure 1-7. RF Upconverter Block Diagram
The IF output carrier of the IF Upconverter daughter card is fed to the transmit portion of the RF
Module via an external (rear panel) semi-rigid SMA cable. This module performs the necessary
upconversion to the RF carrier (see Figure 1-7). There is an on-board CPU for independent
control of the critical RF parameters of the system.
Since this is a linear RF processing chain, an automatic leveling control loop (ALC) is
implemented here to maintain maximum available power output (and therefore maximum system
gain). The ALC monitors the PA forward power (FWD) output sample, and controls the
upconverter gain per an algorithm programmed in the CPU. The ALC also controls the power-up
RF conditions of the transmitter output.
1.5.4 Power Amplifier (PA)
The Power Amplifier (PA) is a separate module that is mounted to a heat sink and is fan-cooled
for reliable operation. The PA is a design for maximum linearity in an amplitude modulation-
based system.

The receiver handles the traditional RF to IF conversion from the carrier to 70 MHz (see Figure 1-

agility, and survivability. A separate AGC loop was assigned to the RF front end to prevent
intermodulation and saturation problems associated with reception of high level undesirable

Figure 1-9. IF Downconverter Block Diagram
The QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) Demodulator is the receive portion of the QAM
Modem card. The QAM Modem also houses the IF Up/Down Converter. The QAM Demod
utilizes the downconverter portion of the IF daughter card.
The IF Downconverter receives the 70 MHz carrier from the receiver portion of the RF Module via
an external semi-rigid cable and directly converts the carrier to 6.4 MHz by mixing with a low-
noise phase-locked LO (see Figure 1-9). System selectivity is achieved through the use of a 70
MHz SAW filter.
The QAM Demod receives and demodulates the 6.4 MHz carrier (see Figure 1-7). The
demodulation process includes the FEC implementation and de-interleaving that matches the
QAM modulator in the transmitter, and the critical “data assisted recovery” of the clock. This
process requires an ultra-stable master clock provided by an OCXO (oven controlled crystal
oscillator).
The output is an aggregate data stream that is distributed to the trunk port for if the data
input/output is out of the Modem, or to the backplane for connection to the multiplexer connected
on the backplane.

HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT INSIDE THE POWER SUPPLY MODULE WHEN THE UNIT IS
PLUGGED IN. REMOVAL OF THE POWER SUPPLY CAGE WILL EXPOSE THIS POTENTIAL
TO SERVICE PERSONNEL. TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, UNPLUG THE POWER
CABLE BEFORE SERVICING. UNIT SHOULD BE SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
ONLY.
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
Always pre-test the system on the bench in its intended configuration prior to installation at a
remote site. Avoid cable interconnection length in excess of 1 meter in strong RF environments.
We highly recommend installation of lightning protectors to prevent line surges from damaging
expensive components.
2.3 Rack Mount
The product is normally rack-mounted in a standard 19” cabinet. Leave space clear above (or
below) the unit for proper air ventilation of the card cage. The rack ears are typically mounted as
shown in Figure 2-1. Other mounting methods are possible by changing the orientation of the
rack ears.

2.6 Power Requirements
2.6.1 Power Supply Card Slot Details
The leftmost slot in the DATA-20 card cage (as viewed from the rear of the unit) is designated as
the “PRIMARY A” power supply. The main bus voltages (+5 and +/-12) are summed in the
backplane and provide the supply the plug-in modules.
NOTE: The front panel LCD screen displays the system supply voltages and the
nomenclature follows the physical location of the power supply modules.
2.6.2 AC Line Voltage
The DATA-20 uses a high reliability, universal input switching power supply capable of operating
within an input range of:
100 - 240 VAC; 50/60 Hz
The power supply module is removable from the unit and a perforated cage protects service
personnel from high voltage. The power supply is fan cooled due to high power consumption by
the PA.
CAUTION
High voltage is present when the unit is plugged in. To prevent electrical shock, unplug the power
cable before servicing. Power supply module should be serviced by qualified personnel only.
