Standard Test Conditions (Transmitter) 5.1 Definition - Standard test conditions are those conditions which shall apply to the transmitter while it is being tested for minimum requirements. These conditions apply unless otherwise specified. 5.2 Test Voltage - The test voltage shall be the voltage applied to the input terminals on the equipment. It shall be within 2% of the value stated by the manufacturer to be the working voltage. 5.3 Temperature - Temperature shall be 25°c ± 5°C. 2 Coast and Ship Station Single Sideband Radiotelephone Transmitters and Receivers Operating in the 1,605 - 28,000 kHz Band RSS-181 5.4 Two-frequency Test Signal - The two-frequency test signal shall consist of two sinusoidal signals, the frequencies of which are 850 Hz ± 5% and 1950 Hz ± 5%, and the levels of which, when simultaneously applied to the audio input terminals of the transmitter, result in equal amplitude radio frequency output signals. 5.5 Test Modulation - The test modulation shall consist of the standard two-frequency test signal applied at a level sufficient to obtain rated PEP. (See Paragraph 6.1.3) 5.6 Peak Envelope Power (PEP) - PEP is the average power developed by the transmitter during one radio frequency cycle at the highest crest of the modulation envelope. 5.7 Maximum R.f. Power Output Rating (M.P.O.R.) - The maximum power output rating which may be specified by the manufacturer is that peak envelope power (PEP) developed by the transmitter such that the highest power odd-order difference frequency intermodulation product is “X” dB below the rated PEP or when the final amplifier dissipation rating is reached, whichever occurs at the lower power output. The symbol “X” shall have the following numerical values: Maximum RF Power Output M.P.O.R. X Up to 100 watts 32 dB MPOR 100 watts up to 5600 watts 32 + 8 log10 100 5600 watts and over 46 dB 5.8 Test Frequencies - Except where otherwise specified all tests shall be made using at least two frequencies, one near the high end and one near the low end of the frequency range for which the transmitter is to be type-approved. If the transmitter operates in the frequency bands between 1605-2650 kHz, one of the test frequencies shelf be 2182 kHz. 5.9 Output Termination - The standard output termination shall consist of a nominal 50 ohm restive load. Where other output terminations are used for the tests, they shall be specified in the test report and shall be within the impedance range of the equipment as stated by the manufacturer. 3 Coast and Ship Station Single Sideband Radiotelephone Transmitters and Receivers Operating in the 1,605 - 28,000 kHz Band RSS-181 5.10 Test Receiver - The standard test receiver shall have an audio response characteristic within ± 2dB of the reference level at lO0O Hz between 50 and 6000 Hz. 5.11 Frequency Analyzer - The resolution and accuracy of the frequency analyzer used shall be stated in the test report. 5.12 Assigned Frequency - The assigned frequency is 1400 Hz higher than the carrier frequency. 6. Minimum Standard (Transmitters) 6.1 RATED PEP 6.1.1 Definition - The rated PEP of the transmitter in the peak envelope power delivered to the standard output termination at the manufacturer's specified level of intermodulation distortion products. 6.1.2 Duty Cycle - Transmitter rated PEP may be designated as either continuous, semi-continuous or intermittent according to the following test conditions: (a) Continuous - Transmitter operated continuously for 24 hours. This rating is limited to transmitters designed for continuous operation. (b) Semi-continuous - Transmitter operated continuously for eight hours. (c) Intermittent - Transmitter operated under a cycle of one minute on and four minutes off for a period of eight hours followed by three test cycles of five minutes on, fifteen minutes off. 6.1.3 Method of Measurement - The transmitter shall be operated in the A3J mode (carrier suppressed) at the rated duty cycle and no adjustments shall be made to the transmitter once the test has begun.

(See Paragraph 5,7) (It may be more than "X" dB below if the manufacturer wishes to decrease the distortion level at the expense of lower PEP output P rating.) The average power output ( avg) is then measured with an R.f. ammeter connected in series with the output termination. 4 Coast and Ship Station Single Sideband Radiotelephone Transmitters and Receivers Operating in the 1,605 - 28,000 kHz Band RSS-181 P2 (Pay") is computed from the formula: avg = I R where: I - RMS current through R R - resistance of the standard output termination of the transmitter. Where an alternate power measurement is made, it should be so specified in the test report.

One test frequency shall then be removed to establish a reference signal level 6 dB below rated PEP. The remaining test signal shall then be removed and the carrier voltage or power output measured. 6.2.2.2. Class A3H Emissions - The transmitter shall then be operated in A3H mode without modulation applied and the carrier voltage or power output measured. 6.2.2.3 Class A3A Emissions - The transmitter shall then be operated in A3A mode without modulation applied and the carrier voltage or power output measured. 5 Coast and Ship Station Single Sideband Radiotelephone Transmitters and Receivers Operating in the 1,605 - 28,000 kHz Band RSS-181 6.2.3 Minimum Standards - The power of the carrier for: Class A3J emissions, shall be attenuated at least 46 dB below rated PEP.

  • Of Single Sideband Demodulation by Richard Lyons
    Understanding the 'Phasing Method' of Single Sideband Demodulation by Richard Lyons There are four ways to demodulate a transmitted single sideband (SSB) signal. Those four methods are: • synchronous detection, • phasing method, • Weaver method, and • filtering method. Here we review synchronous detection in preparation for explaining, in detail, how the phasing method works. This blog contains lots of preliminary information, so if you're already familiar with SSB signals you might want to scroll down to the 'SSB DEMODULATION BY SYNCHRONOUS DETECTION' section. BACKGROUND I was recently involved in trying to understand the operation of a discrete SSB demodulation system that was being proposed to replace an older analog SSB demodulation system. Having never built an SSB system, I wanted to understand how the "phasing method" of SSB demodulation works. However, in searching the Internet for tutorial SSB demodulation information I was shocked at how little information was available. The web's wikipedia 'single-sideband modulation' gives the mathematical details of SSB generation [1]. But SSB demodulation information at that web site was terribly sparse. In my Internet searching, I found the SSB information available on the net to be either badly confusing in its notation or downright ambiguous. That web- based material showed SSB demodulation block diagrams, but they didn't show spectra at various stages in the diagrams to help me understand the details of the processing. A typical example of what was frustrating me about the web-based SSB information is given in the analog SSB generation network shown in Figure 1. x(t) cos(ωct) + 90o 90o y(t) – sin(ωct) Meant to Is this sin(ω t) represent the c Hilbert or –sin(ωct) Transformer.

The effect of noise in both the pilot and message signals is investigated. The detection gain and mean square error is calculated for the QDSB baseband demodulation process. The mean square error is also evaluated for the QDSB/FM system. The AGC circuit is simulated on a digital computer. Errors introduced into the AGC system are analyzed with emphasis placed on nonlinear gain functions for the voltage con­ trolled amplifier.

However, limited research has been reported in monitoring the gear wear based on vibration due to the lack of tools which can effectively extract the small sidebands. In order to accurately monitor gear wear progression in a timely fashion, this paper presents a gear wear condition monitoring approach based on vibration signal analysis using the modulation signal bispectrum-based sideband estimator (MSB-SE) method. The vibration signals are collected using a run-to-failure test of gearbox under an accelerated test process. MSB analysis was performed on the vibration signals to extract the sideband information. Using a combination of the peak value of MSB-SE and the coherence of MSB-SE, the overall information of gear transmission system can be obtained.
