1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL Figure 1.1 - Front view of the Xfin Blade. Brief Description: The Xfin Blade is a 1U trunking system with an integrated basestation and the capability to provide a control and/or traffic channel. It incorporates the established MPT1327 trunking standard with next generation hardware and VoIP technology. A trunked site consists of a number of Blade units which are inter-connected using standard CAT5 Ethernet cable.
XFIN-BLADE-SM 2 PRODUCT CODES The following information is displayed on the Type Approval Label located on the chassis behind the speaker housing. 2.
3 DESCRIPTION The Blade is a 1U high by 19” wide rack-mountable unit containing two SRM9000 sub-assemblies, a control card, and a fan bulkhead which mates with the angled front panel and MMI card. There is also provision for fitting a high power amplifier or integrated power supply option. 3.1 VENTILATION In order to provide full-power continuous operation in any orientation and in a 1U envelope, the Blade uses forced air-cooling.
Noise and dust build up can be reduced by keeping cabling and other obstructions out of the main airflows. There are no dust filters fitted in this product. If it is to be used in very dirty environments, then additional steps should be taken to prevent ingress of dust as this will affect thermal performance. Filters should only be used in external cabinets if they can be regularly maintained. 3.

4.1.1 Description The purpose of the MMI board is to provide the Man Machine Interface between the control card and the user. The MMI board contains 5 LEDs for user diagnostics. It contains an LCD for displaying an interactive menu, which is accessed via a control knob. An audio amplifier is provided to drive a loud speaker at up to 2W, with volume adjustment via the control knob. An RJ45 interface for a serial port is also present.

4.2.2.3 DSP The DSP on the Xfin control card is a Blackfin device manufactured by Analog Devices; it runs at speeds of up to 500 MHz. The DSP is responsible for all audio processing including mixing, FFSK encoding/decoding, DTMF encoding/decoding, supervisory tone generation, audio emphasis and speech processing for VOIP between Blades. Booting The DSP downloads the application code from the IXP Network Processor at start up and runs the software entirely in internal memory.
XFIN-BLADE-SM 4.2.2.4 Power The control board requires a 12V 2000ma supply. Linear regulators are provided to reduce the input voltage down to 10V and 5V for the audio circuits. The input voltage supply is also regulated down to 3.3V for the digital logic via a switched mode power supply. The 1.3V supply for the IXP processor core is generated by a regulator off the 3.3V rail. The 1.2V supply for the DSP core is generated by a diode (controlled by the DSP) off the 3.3V rail. 4.2.2.
The IXP controls an LXT971 PHY chip (U20) that provides a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface. The PHY is connected to an RJ-45 socket with built-in magnetics; the socket also presents two external LEDs which are configured to indicate activity and 10/100 status. RS232 Serial Interface (DB-9) The rear of the Blade contains a standard 9-way Serial connection in order that a straight through cable may be used to connect a PC to the IXP.
XFIN-BLADE-SM links F3 and F4 can be fitted to provide bias volts. This allows the unit to use DC signalling. 4.2.2.8 PSTN Interface A Clare DAA chip (U7) provides a PSTN interface. An audio channel links the telephone port to a codec (U54). At the time of configuration, the audio levels of the PSTN interface should be set for optimal transmission and reception. PSTN Interface Specifications: 3000 Vrms rated isolation voltage; 2000V/µs rated surge rise time.

The RF front-end amplifier stage comprises a low-noise transistor amplifier (Q400), which is compensated to maintain good linearity across the required frequency bands and temperature range. This provides excellent intermodulation and blocking performance across the full operating range. The gain of this stage is typically 17dB for both UHF and VHF versions. 4.3.2.
XFIN-BLADE-SM 4.3.3.1 Drivers and PA Stages The RF output level from the VCO buffer Q604 is typically +5dBm (UHF) and +8dBm (VHF). TX buffer Q606 increases this level by approximately 3dB (UHF) and 11dB (VHF) and also provides additional VCO isolation. The following section of the TX buffer Q612 is controlled by the transmitter power control loop and Q609. Q609 is normally saturated in transmit mode so there is no minimum gain control applied to this stage.
Figure 3.
XFIN-BLADE-SM 4.3.3.2 Tx Power Control Output power is stabilised by a power control feedback loop. L1, R54, a printed circuit transmission line, D6 and associated components comprise the power detector with Q3/10, U3 and associated components providing the power setting and control sections. Forward and reverse power is sampled by the power detector and applied as a DC voltage to the inverting input of comparator U3A.
4.3.4 Frequency Synthesis 4.3.4.1 General Refer to Figure 3.7. The SRM9000 frequency synthesiser consists of individual transmitter and receiver (local oscillator) voltage controlled oscillators, loop filter, varactor negative bias generator, reference oscillator and an integrated, dual phase locked loop device U701. 4.3.4.2 PLL The PLL device contains two prescalers, programmable dividers and phase comparators to provide a main and auxiliary PLL.
XFIN-BLADE-SM by U300B/C with D304 to D307 providing the voltage multiplying effect needed to achieve -17V. The output of the negative supply is applied directly to the VCO varactor anodes as the negative tuning voltage VCAP BIAS. 4.3.4.5 Phase Modulator The modulation path for audio, data and higher frequency CTCSS signals is via D609 and its associated components in the TX VCO.

4.3.5.1 DSP and FPGA The Blade RF sub-assemblies operate under the control of a DSP (U102) and FPGA (U106) combination which together with a number of other dedicated devices perform all the operational and processing functions required by the radio.
XFIN-BLADE-SM The 2 groups of analogue switches are independently controlled by FPGA binary signals MUX A0 and A1 and enable line MUXEN to output the required tuning voltages as a series of pulses. These pulses are converted to steady state voltages by integration capacitors C904 to 911 and C921 to 925. 4.3.7 RF Sub-Assembly Internal Power Supplies 4.3.7.1 Power On Function This set of functionality is designed for normal use in a vehicle environment; hence much of it is unused in this product.

XFIN-BLADE-SM 4.4 ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS The antenna connections on the Blade are provided with 50Ω female N-type sockets. These should be tested, by use of a suitable test set, e.g. Anritsu/Wiltron S331A, for good VSWR (1.5:1 or better) at the Tx and Rx frequencies prior to use. Mating connectors should be galvanically compatible with nickel outer and gold centre pin to minimise passive intermodulation.
