Theory of Operation Transmitter Functional Blocks US Gating The US Gating circuitry generates the gated 1 MHz bursts for the US driver and the US receiver necessary in a pulsed doppler system. The burst repetition rate is 3.2 kHz. The US driver burst has a duration of µ...
Transmitter Functional Blocks demodulator. This demodulator is driven by the US Gating module with 1 MHz bursts. The demodulated signals are amplified and bandpass filtered. The overall gain from the transducer to the US Receiver’s output is 70 dB for the heartrate signal and 56 dB for the fetal movement signal.
Transmitter Functional Blocks delivered to the FSK Generator. The detector algorithm is identical to the algorithm implemented in the Series 50 Fetal Monitors. FMP is switched off whenever a Series 50 T Telemetry System (plugged into the Monitor) is switched on. FMP is switched back on again when the telemetry system is switched off (or unplugged).
Transmitter Functional Blocks • transducers and operating modes • fetal movement detection bit • battery status • external marker information • Nurse call button • INOP condition of ECG • CRC (checksum over one frame) • Special transmitter ID after power up (Japan only) Oscillator This circuitry produces the different clocks needed in the Transmitter.
Transmitter Functional Blocks EEPROM The EEPROM holds the following settings: • Serial number • Gain calibration factors • Country code • Japanese ID code Japan ID This module is only acitve for Japanese options (set by the country code). It sends the required ID code for Japanese Telemetry Transmitters.
Receiver Functional Blocks Receiver Functional Blocks Input Filter This module builds up a highpass filter with <1dB loss in the useful frequency range 406 to 470 MHz and >20dB rejection for 100 MHz signals. It prevents overloading of the RF preamplifier with strong lower frequency signals.
Receiver Functional Blocks RF Receiver M1402A The MAGIC receiver module M1402A performs the complete baseband signal recovery. The input signal is prefiltered, mixed down and filtered by a double superhetrodyne circuitry and demodulated to the baseband signal. An on board microcontroller does the complete automatic frequency control tracking of the input signal.
Receiver Functional Blocks • Encode the marker signal into the Toco signal If more than two consecutive frames are disturbed (wrong CRC checksum) or no synchonisation is possible due to not matching serial numbers of the transmitter and the receiver, the output signals are switched off and the range/ transmission INOP LED on the frontpanel is switched on.
Preventive Maintenance, Care and Cleaning Preventive Maintenance Every 12 months, you must carry out a series of preventive maintenance tasks and performance assurance tests. These ensure that the Telemetry System continues to perform at its best, and reduces the possibility of failures. The tasks to be carried out, their sequence, and the estimated time to complete each one is given in the following table.
