SECTION 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 EXTERNAL DESCRIPTION
The PJ500M-C is housed in a 3U 19" rack, each single module are wired with
connectors allowing easy servicing and replacement.
On the front panel the alarm indicators are placed in a left position, the
mains switch and the meter for the principal parameters in a central position.
On the rear panel the R.F. INPUT and R.F. OUTPUT connectors are located,
together with the telemetry connector, the R.F. output test connector
(directional coupler), the mains socket the fuses and an auxiliary mains line
output for the supply of other exciters of a different design and make.
1.2 ELECTRICAL DESCRIPTION
PJ500M-C is a MOSFET power amplifier working on the 87.5-108 MHz band with
an output power in excess of 500W and a drive level of about 16W.
This amplifier uses two R.F. modules able to deliver more than 300W each, with
one switching power supplies for high efficiency.
A built in low pass filter suppresses the harmonic content below the FCC and
CCIR requirements.
A protection system takes care of the amplifier against thermal problems,
excessive input drive power and excessive SWR inside the amplifier or along
the feeder.
This system provides an automatic reset to initial conditions when the problem
ceases.
1.3 METERS AND INDICATORS
The principal parameters of the amplifier are read by the analog multimeter
(9 Fig.1) and selected by the rotary switch (8 Fig.1) on the front panel.
On the front panel are presents two different sections of signalling leds.
In the first section there are four red alamrs leds (Temp., S.W.R. Ant., S.W.R.
Int., Over Drive), one green led for the signalling of On/Off status and one
yellow led for an External Stand By. In the second section there are four green
led for the signalling of each single R.F. power amplifier module's protection
fuse status.
1.4 AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL
An unused characteristic of this amplifier is the outstanding power gain;

indeed without preamplifiers we have an output power of 500W with a drive of
only 8W.
A power limiter stabilizes the output power against input drive fluctuations.

1.5 PROTECTION CIRCUITS
The protection circuits set the amplifier in stand-by in the case of a

fault condition.
After 10 seconds the protection reactivates the amplifier if the fault has
disappeared.
If not, this process is repeated 4 times at the end of which the amplifier
stays disabled for 90 sec.; after 90 sec, if the trouble persists the protection
performs other four cycles and then disable the amplifier indefinitely.
If during these cycles the anomaly disappears and the amplifier works regularly
for more than 90 sec. the counting system is reset and the original conditions
established.
(NOTE The intervals described are indicative)
The protection acts for excessive SWR, over-temperature and overdrive,
indicates the problem with warning lights and disables the pilot exciter.
1.6 R.F. AMPLIFIERS
The amplifier employs two broadband modules with 50 Ohm input/output

impedance.
The output power of each module is 300W with 4-5W of drive.

This section describes the overall working theory of the PJ500M-C.

For case of description the amplifier is subdivided into subassemblies that
will be discussed in detail below.
The block diagram is illustrated in Fig.3.
2.1 POWER SUPPLY
The power supply are housed in the left side of the amplifier as shown
in Photo 1. The Switching Power Supply is mounted on a heats that allows its
cooling through forced ventilation.
Housed inside to the PJ500M-C the are two transformer, all transformers have
a selectable input for voltages between 110 and 240 Volt.
The first has one output, 61-0-61 Volt for Switching Power Supply.
The second have tree outputs: A 18-0-18 Volt, B 0-15 Volt, C 0-15V, the output
A drive the Alarms Card and the Soft Card, the outputs B and C supply the Control
Section of Switching Power Supply.
Inside the Alarms Card a rectifying and stabilization circuit provides the
+15 and -15 Volt needed by the electronics.
The 50Volt switchers regulate the R.F. output power using a voltage detected
by a directional coupler mounted on the low pass filter's output.
2.2 R.F. POWER AMPLIFIER
The R.F. Power amplifier section is composed of the two power modules
coupled through with a Wilkinson Splitter and Combiner realized with "Strip
Line Technology".
The four R.F. modules, splitter card and cobiner card are housed in the top
side of the equipment.
All R.F. section is mounted on a heat-sink that allows its cooling through
forced ventilation.
Every module delivers 300W with 4-6W of drive and is supplied by an switching
power supply.
The quiescent parameters of each module are:
VDC=50V Vgs=3.5V Idq=200mA
The active device employed is a Mosfet (BLF278).
2.3 WILKINSON SPLITTER AND COMBINER
The Wilkison Splitter and Combiner are realized with "Strip-Line

Technology".
The Splitter Card is used to splitt exciter's driving power of each R.F. Power
Amplifier moudules.
The Combiner Card is used to combine the output powers of each R.F. Power
Amplifiers moudules.
These two circuit garantees equal phases on the input and ouput power of each
R.F. Power Amplifiers modules. A power resistor placed on each circuits used

to absorb any unabalanced powers in case of faulty.
2.4 BIAS CARD
This card has the function to control and if necessary to correct the
polarization current of each single Mos-Fet of the R.F. section.
Then it's able to supply external measures as: currents, volatges for each
R.F. amplifier module, total current and average voltage.
2.5 ALARMS CARD
This card is housed on the front panel, on left position, as showed in

Photo 1. On this board, the electronics detect any system anomaly such as
excessive SWR, internal or antenna, over-temperature etc.
This module will also, whenever possible, reset the system to its original
conditions, after a fault has accused.
2.6 TELEMETRY TERMINALS
The telemetry connector (11 Fig.2) is placed on the rear panel in the right
side as shown in Fig.2.
Thanks to this connector the essential parameters of the amplifier are
externally available for remote measurements purposes.

2.7 SOFT START
The soft start is mounted on a board placed on the left side of the amplifier
in the position shown in Photo 1.
This circuit eliminates the current spikes generated by the transformer when
it is powered.
2.8 LOW PASS FILTER

This filter is housed in the right side of the equipment as showed in Photo
1.
The Low Pass Filter and R.F. section are mounted on a heat-sink that allows
its cooling through forced ventilation. Thanks to this low pass filter we have
a harmonic suppression better than 75 dB.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains necessary information for the preliminary checks

and installation of the PJ500M-C.
3.2 UNPACKING
Unpack the amplifier and, before any other operation, check that the
amplifier isn’t damaged and that all controls on the front and rear panel are
in good condition.
3.3 INSTALLATION
1) On the rear panel check the setting of the mains voltage selector
for the proper value, referring to serigraph.
Connect the mains cable screwing the three headers (2 Fig.2).
NOTE For 110V supply 25A a cable with a 6.0mm section is needed; for a
220V voltage, a 2.5mm section is sufficient.
2) Place the mains switch in the off position (4 Fig.1).
3) Check the A.C. Line fuse for the proper value (5 Fig.2) 16A for 220V
supply or 25A for 110V supply.
4) See Setup 1, connect a dummy load with 500W power rating at 50 Ohm
to the R.F. Output connector (8 Fig.2) with a through wattmeter.
5) SETUP
Switch on the mains switch and 1 the proper led is on.
check
6) Internal parameters control.

Select with the Meter Selector (8 Fig.1) the Power Amplifier supply
voltage (Vpa) and check the value of 50Vdc.
Select the current "Ipa" and check that the value of 800mA.
In the same way check FWD and RFL powers are zero.
7) Connect to the R.F. Input connector (13 Fig.2) a suitable exciter

able to deliver a power of between 0 and 30W.

8) Connect the Alarms/Interlock Connect. (12 Fig.2) to the appropriate

connector of the exciter.
9) Switch on the exciter with the output power set to the minimum value.
Tune the exciter to a middle band frequency e.g. 98Mhz, wait for
the P.L.L. to lock then gradually raise the output power of the
exciter.
Verify the increase in the output power the of PJ500M-C and
simultaneously monitor the current Ipa; they should increase pro-
portionally and assume about the some final value.
Continue this operation until a 500W output value is obtained.
At this condition the working parameters are:
V1=V2=Vpa= about 50V
Ipa= about 18A (typ.)
10) Check the reading of the internal wattmeter with that of the external
one (a discrepancy of about 10% is tolerable).
11) With the amplifier at full power, push and keep pushed the Reset
switch, and check that output power, Vpa and Ipa, go to zero and
that the output power of the exciter goes to zero too.
Release the switch and all the previous parameters will go back
to their original values.
12) Increase the drive power until the Over Drive led lights.
At this point, the lock condition should disable the amplifier and
exciter for about 10 sec, after which the amplifier will try to
restart. If the drive power setting has not changed, another lock
condition will occur, otherwise the amplifier will restart nor-
mally.
In the case of another lock condition, the protection circuit will
make 4 attempts at a restart. Should this fail the amplifier will
wait for a longer periods and make 4 more attempts. Should this not be
successful, the amplifier will remain disabled indefinitely.
SECTION 4

After changing the power supply module and having reconnected all the
connectors, make the following tests and adjustments:
1) Disconnect the connector of the cable that connects the Switching

Power Supply to R.F. section.
2) Connect a suitable dummy load (50 Ohm, P>500W) to the amplifier

output, switch the amplifier on.
3) Check the 50V output of the new power supply using the analog meter
and selecting the appropriate reading with the Meter Selector
switch. Confirm the measuring of the output voltage with a digital
multimeter connected to pins 1-2 and 3-4 of the J3 Power Supply
connector; if needed adjust the value with R79.
4) Verify that the test point TP2 is present a voltage of 1.6V; if this
value is different, adjust R71 to obtain the correct voltage.
5.1A POWER SUPPLY ADJUSTMENT (Vers. PSSW5020B)
No adjustments are required on this module.
5.2 R.F. POWER AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENT
After you have changed the module and you have connected again all cables,
perform the following operations.
1) See Setup 2, connect a dummy load to the R.F. Output Connector (8

Fig.2) with a through wattmeter in series.

SETUP 2
3) Connect the Alarms/Interlock connect. (12 Fig.2) to the appropriate
connector on the exciter.
4) Set the output power of the exciter to its minimum value.
5) Switch on the PJ500M-C and the exciter and wait for the PLL to lock.
6) Now slowly increase the drive checking that the output power rises
progressively, with an increase of Ipa current.

NOTE: with Pout=500W we have 4.5W < Pin < 6W and 15A < Ipa < 18A
Some differences in the currents drawn are related to the different gains of
the Mos-Fet devices (BLF 278) and must be compensated with the trimmers R15
placed on each RF power amplifier board. The trimmer to be adjusted will be
the one related to the RF module that has a higher current consumption. This
one must be adjusted turning it counter clockwise to obtain the same current
consumption in each RF module.
Differences of less than 800mA between the four modules are acceptable.
5.3 WILKINSON SPLITTER CARD ADJUSTMENT
Be very careful to correctly reconnect the splitter card, since incorrect

connections will destroy the R.F. Power Modules.
5.4 WILKINSON COMBINER CARD ADJUSTMENT
Be very careful to correctly reconnect the splitter card, since incorrect

connections will destroy the R.F. Power Modules.
5.5 AGC CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
After you have changed the Directional Coupler Card or the Low Pass Filter,
perform the following operations.
1) See Setup 3, connect a dummy load to the R.F. Output Connector (8

Fig.2) with a through wattmeter in series.

3) Connect the Alarms/InterlockSETUP 3 (12 Fig.2) to the appropriate
connect.
connector on the exciter.
4) Turn the "AGC Control" trimmer TR1 completely counter-clockwise.
5) Set the output power of the exciter to its minimum value.

6) Switch on the amplifier PJ500M-C and the exciter and wait for the
PLL to lock.
7) Slowly increase the drive power to obtain 500W of output power.
8) Adjust the "AGC Control" trimmer TR1 until you obtain a slight output
power drop in the PJ500M amplifier.
This power drop tells us that the power limit system is acting.
9) Now increase again the drive until Vpa decrease and you obtain a
lock condition of the amplifier due to the Over-Drive Protection;
this protection is adjustable by means of trimpot R26 on the Alarms
Card.
This protection must come on when Vpa voltage is at about 48Vdc.
10) Verify that for an output power of 500W the readings on the internal
wattmeter (9 Fig.1) and the external wattmeter coincide (if not,
adjust R11 on the Alarms Card).
5.6 ALARMS CARD ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Make sure that this replacement is really necessary.
1) After changing the board, connect the amplifier as shown in the

SETUP 4 schematic.
2) Switch on PJ500M-C.
3) Place the Meter Selector on Vpa.
4) Adjust trimpot R14 to obtain SETUP 4 reading of 50V (check that

a f.s.d.
the output voltage of the power supply is really 50V).
5) Switch on the exciter and wait for PLL lock.

6) Increase the output power to a level of 500W.
7) Adjust the FWD reading with trimpot R11.
8) Perform the adjustment of the Over Drive trip point as indicated

in step 9 of "AGC Control" adjustment.

NOTE: If the Low Pass Filter and Directional Coupler Card has not been changed,
don't move "AGC Control" trimmer TR1.
9) INTERNAL S.W.R. CALIBRATION (S.W.R. INT.)
9A) Reduce the drive power to the minimum value, switch off the amplifier
and the exciter.
9B) Connect two paralleled dummy loads to the R.F. Output connector of
the amplifier as in schematic SETUP 5.
9C) Switch on the amplifier and the exciter and wait for the PLL to lock.
SETUP 5
9D) Select RFL with the meter selector, and set the external wattmeter
for reflected power reading.
9E) Increase the output power to obtain a reading of 50W RFL on the
external wattmeter.
Now adjust trimpot R40 on the alarms card until the SWR-INT
protection acts.
9F) With a voltmeter, measure the voltage on the central pin of R40 or
U2A pin 2 or U1D pin 13.
Multiply this value by 2 and adjust R40 to obtain this new value.
NOTE: This setting may vary with the working frequency, it’s preferable to
make this adjustment at the operating frequency.
10) ANTENNA S.W.R. CALIBRATION (S.W.R. ANT.)
10A) Reduce the drive power to the minimum value, switch off the amplifier
and the exciter.

10B) Connect two paralleled dummy loads to the R.F. Output connector of
the amplifier as in schematic SETUP 6.
10C) Switch on the amplifier and the exciter and wait for the PLL to lock.
SETUP 6
10D) Select RFL with the meter selector, and set the external wattmeter
for reflected power reading.
10E) Increase the output power to obtain a reading of 100W RFL on the
external wattmeter. Now adjust trimpot R13 on the Alarms Card to
obtain the same reading on the PJ500M-C meter.
10F) Increase again the power, until you read 50W of reflected power,
adjust R56 on the Alarms Card (remove the metallic shield that covers
the alarm cards) until the SWR ANTENNA protection acts.
NOTE: This setting may vary with the working frequency, it’s preferable to
make this adjustment at the operating frequency.
11) OVER-TEMPERATURE ALARM CHECK (TEMP.)
11A) Check the over-temperature protection by short circuiting the

terminals of the temperature sensor placed on the R.F. Section heat
sin (or on Power Supply heat sink); the appropriate led will light,
and the amplifier will stop.
12) EXTERNAL STAND BY CHECK (EXT.ST.BY)
12A) Check the EXT.ST.BY protection by short circuiting the Pin 20 of

Telemetry Connector, and verify that the EXT.ST.BY led lights and
the amplifier will stop.
12B) Short circuiting the Pin 8 of Telemetry Connector will regularly

restart.
5.7 DIRECTIONAL COUPLER CARD ADJUSTMENT
The Directional Coupler Card don't need any adjstment, perhaps it's
necessary to execute the following checkings after the replacing of the card:
1) Verify the "AGC Control".
2) Verify Antenna S.W.R. Calibration.
3) Verify FWD PWR lecture.
4) Verify RFL PWR lecture.

5.8 SOFT-START CARD ADJUSTMENT
No adjustments are needed after this board has been changed.
NOTE: Pay attention to the correct insertion of the connectors.
5.9 BIAS CARD ADJUSTMENT
No adjustments are required inside the Bias Card because it's a factory
adjusted device.
