Receive Filter P4RX

The receive filter is primarily used for the suppression of local and
parallel transmitter signals. It is plugged in the rightmost slot of the
channel rack P7LC. When it is unplugged, the filter input pins are
automatically connected to the filter output pins on the backplane of
P7LC. The filter can be programmed to bandwidths 8, 16 or 32 kHz.
Fig. 3-24 shows the block diagram. The input signal to the filter arrives
from the RF hybrid, having passed the Rx level adjustment
potentiometer. An attenuation circuit at the input ensures a defined
load impedance for the following receive filter, that is almost
independent of the potentiometer setting. The bandpass receive filter
obtains an input selectivity and suppresses primarily the transmitter
signals of the local parallel PLC equipment. The structure of the two-
stage filter was chosen such that together with the tuning adapter
P4LM, a simple tuning on site is possible.
A low noise, low distortion amplifier compensates for attenuation and
filter losses, to achieve an input to output board gain of 0 dB.
The RXRF-IN coax connector on the front panel allows monitoring of
the incoming Rx signal. It is not decoupled and thus can be used as a
test input for the filter.
The RXRF-OUT coax connector on the front panel (decoupled,
50 Ohm) monitors the output voltage to the signal processing unit.
Center frequency and bandwidth of the filter are programmed by
means of jumpers on the board. Fine tuning is done by adjusting L1
and L2 with the help of the tuning adapter P4LM. For details, refer to
the P4RX Tuning Instructions in the annex.
