1 GENERAL INFORMATION T2130
1.4 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION AND BLOCK DIAGRAM
SAILOR Compact HF SSB T2130 is a 250W PEP transmitter in SAILOR Compact HF SSB Programme
2000. It contains following circuits.
POWER AMPLIFIER
The power amplifier is a push-pull amplifier.
The input signal from RE2100 is fed through a TX/RX switch on the output filter unit to the input of the
power amplifier. The signal is amplified to approx. 280W PEP. The bias to the pre-driver, driver, and PA
can be switched off from the TX microprocessor. When this is done, the output power will be attenuated
more than 60 dB.
OUTPUT FILTER
Theoutput filterconsists ofsix lowpassfilters, adirectional coupler,a tune/transmitswitch, anda TX/RX
switch.
From the power amplifier the signal is fed to a lowpass filter, which attenuates all harmonics. Then the
signal passes a directional coupler, which gives information about the standing wave ratio to the TX-
processor unit.
After the directional coupler the signal is fed to a drive/transmit switch. In position drive the output power
is fed to a 50 ohm load. This load is used to set the output power to the correct value.
After this switch the signal is fed to the TX/RX switch.
In position RX the signal from the aerial coupler AT2110 or the aerial is fed directly to RE2100.
In position TX the signal from RE2100 is fed to the input of the power amplifier and the output power is
fed to the aerial coupler AT2110 or the aerial.
TX PROCESSOR
The processor takes care of controlling the power amplifier, output filters, aerial coupler AT2110, and
communication with RE2100.
From RE2100 the TX-processor receives information about frequency and receive/transmit mode. The
TX-processor gives information to RE2100 about tuning/tune ready and attenuator setting.
During tune-up the TX-processor is controlling the aerial coupler. It tunes for best standing wave ratio
measured with the directional coupler on the output filter module.
Duringtransmit the TX-processor is checking the temperatureof thePA-transistors, supplyvoltage, and
stating wave ratio. From these data the TX processor calculates the max. permissible power, and then
sends this information to the RE2100, where the processor unit sets the attenuator in the exciter unit to
the correct value.
POWER SUPPLY
This unit consists of two power supplies and the AF-amplifier.
The 24V DC is first fed to a relay which switches off/on the supply to the power supplies.

CONNECTION BOARD
The connection board is the interface to the aerial coupler AT2110, HF SSB RE2100, 24V mains, and
other units e.g. loudspeaker, muting of ext. receivers etc.
All input and output from ext. equipment are made through an optocoupler, a relay, or a transformer.

2.1.1 INSTALLATION HINTS
The HF SSB Transmitter T2130 has to be installed vertically because it is convection cooled.
To ensure free airflow inside the transmitter, at least 100 mm free space is necessary at the top
of the cover. At the bottom of the transmitter, 100 mm free space is necessary for cable lead-in.
In order to facilitate the installation, dismantle the turnable inner chassis (see the section 4.0.
MECHANICAL DISASSEMBLING). Then install the back plate with the connection board PCB
as described in section 2.1. MOUNTING POSSIBILITIES/DIMENSIONS AND DRILLING
PLAN.
When all cables have been connected according to the cable plans in question, reinstall the
turnable inner chassis and complete the installation by executing the function check (see the
section 3.8. FUNCTION CHECK).
