3.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This section presents a description of the air-to-ground and point-to-
point communication terminals.
3.1.1 AIR-TO-GROUND TERMINAL
The block diagram of the A/c terminal is shown in figure 2-1. A
functional system layout is shown in figure 3-1. Control cables inter-
connect the equipment cabinet with the remote control unit, the hf antenna
coupler and external AF monitoring unit. In addition the RCU is
connected to a remoted 943B-1 uhf power amplifier.
The RCU extends the audio/keyline of the hf radio circuit up to a distance
of 50 feet from the equipment cabinet. Transmit audio signals originate
at the RCU and are routed to the equipment cabinet. From the equipment
cabinet the lines are routed to the AF monitor terminal for Selcal
conditioning. This permits signals to originate at the external monitoring
unit as well as at the RCU. The hf receive audio is routed directly from
the radio shelf in the equipment cabinet to a loudspeaker at the RCU and
the external monitor terminal.
Space is provided in the RCU to insert the transceiver portion of the
AN/PRC-66A. The transmit audio signals for the uhf circuit originate
in the RCU and connect directly to the input of the AN/PRC-66A. The
audio output of the AN/PRC-66A connects directly to a loudspeaker at
the RCU.
The transmit and receive audio lines of each radio circuit are
paralleled and routed to the external AF monitoring unit. Bridging
impedance is not provided as part of the A/c terminal, this must be
included with the external monitoring terminal.

A schematic diagram of the RCU is shown in figure 3-2.
The circuitry is designed to allow voice modulation on either radio or
on both simultaneously. A volumainit (VU) meter is provided for circuit
monitoring by the operator.
Remote controls for an external selective calling system are also pro-
vided in the RCU. The circuitry consists of a four-position channel
select switch, a pushbutton initiate switch and an indicator lamp. The
control lines for this circuit are routed through the equipment cabinet
to the AF Monitor Terminal. A front panel layout of the RCU is shown
in figure 3-3.
The AF monitor Terminal will contain a 514A-4 unit for remote control
of the hf transceiver. The remote 514A-4 control will maintain normal
operating control of the radio. A remote/local switch allows the 514A-4
,control unit located on the connector panel in the equipment cabinet to
assume control for maintenance or emergency operation.
The rf output from the hf power amplifier is routed to the input of the
490B-4 antenna coupler. The 490B-4 is an automatically tuned hf coupler
designed to tune wire and whip antennas in the frequency range of 2 to
30 MHz. The coaxial feed between the equipment cabinet and the 490B-4
antenna coupler will consist of three, 100 foot sections of Andrew FSJ4
Superflex coaxial cable. Any amount of cable up to the maximum of 300
feet can be used depending on the proximity equipmentcabinet and the
antenna couplers.

The rf output from the AN/PRC-66A is used to drive a 10 watt power
amplifier located up to a distance of 150 feet from the RCU. The 943B-1
power amplifier requires a minimum input of 0.5 watts to produce the Er
watt rated output. Coaxial cable attenuation at the high end of the
frequency range limits the distance the power amplifier can be remoted
from the RCU to the 150 foot maximum. The coaxial feed will be supplied
in one, 100 foot section and one, 50 foot section. The amount of cable
used will depend upon the physical limitations of the site.
