Series 2000Multi-channel VHF and VHF/UHF radio communication equipment

ApplicationSeries 2000 represents a new-generation digital multi-channel VHF and VHF/UHF radio communication equip-ment to be used in air traffic control systems for civil and state aviation. Digital technology enhances radio communication and data transmission in ACARS and VDL 2 modes.

Design and modificationsFeaturing modular design, Series 2000 radio communi-cation equipment represents a scalable solution suitable both for small airports and for huge multi-channel radio centers. Configuration of radio transmitters and trans-ceivers includes power unit, transmitter-receiver module, control and indication module and power amplifier. The radio receiver consists of a power unit, transmitter-re-ceiver module, control and indication module.Such hardware configuration makes it possible to use Series 2000 radio communication equipment in com-bined transmitting-receiving centers by means of us-ing transceivers or radio terminals. A required number of radio receiving and transmitting devices is used in separated receiving and transmitting centers. The Se-ries 2000 radio communication equipment requires no maintenance or calibration and adjustment in case of module replacement.The Series 2000 radio frequency channel design offers high performance and reliability. When considering radio receivers RX2000V, term ‘multi-channel’ gets concep-tually new meaning as four- (eight-) channel receiver is capable to receive signals simultaneously over four (eight) independent frequency channels throughout entire frequency range and produce low frequency out-put over eight communication lines.

Series 2000 radio transmitters and transceivers provide the possibility to select capacity between 5 and 50 W.The modifications of VHF/UHF radio communication equipment supporting FHSS mode are used to control the state aviation flights. A specific program reads out, stores and copies the groups of settings and a pre-set configuration of a device. Any selector switches or jumpers are not required.The software for Series 2000 radio communication equipment offers the possibility to add new functions, expand technical capabilities or adapt the hardware to the specific application without any design changes. The radio transmitters and transceivers are 19”/2 wide, while the radio receivers are 19”/4 wide. The height of all radio communication devices is 3U. So, up to 24 radio transmitters or transceivers can be installed into a stan-dard 19” rack.

Control and monitoringAll radio communication equipment is interconnected through LAN interface and shares built-in test system for basic parameters monitoring. The detailed informa-tion about current device status is shown by the LED indicators and displayed on character-numerical display.Radio communication equipment offers both local control using front panel buttons and remote control through RS-485, Ethernet, USB or low-frequency in-terface. For software-based operation and configura-tion settings loading, radio communication equipment offers USB port for PC connection. With such remote control and monitoring capabilities, radio communica-tion equipment can be controlled from one or several control centers, thus offering new possibilities for radio networking.

Functional features of radio communication equipmentWhen used in areas with high noise environment induced by operating radio transmitter, radio receivers offer the possibility to select input signal gain, thus ensuring low intermodulation interference.Noise suppressor supports two operating modes. It may operate based on level of radio frequency input signal or S/N ratio of audio signal. If required, use may com-bine both noise reduction criteria.The radio receiver offers possibility to listen own signal or connect external audio recording hardware.The transceivers and radio transmitters also incorporate safety function for antenna-feeder line failure with auto-matic performance recovery after elimination of failure.The radio communication equipment meets ICAO re-quirements regarding offset carrier frequency.With integrated Pin-diode switch, transceiver is capable to operate with single transceiver antenna eliminating the need in external antenna relay.If radio transmitter encounters high ambient tempera-ture, low supply voltage or worse SWR (before idle mode and closing) in antenna-feeder line, transmitter output capacity reduces automatically and recovers to normal operation after elimination of abovementioned conditions. Transmitting-receiving module includes micro computer, receiver and exciter. The transmitting-receiving module provides the following functions: demodulation

of received signals, data encoding and decoding, modu-lated signal output, control and monitoring of power unit, power amplifier and control & indication module as well as data acquisition and output over low-frequency interface, RS-485 interface, Ethernet or USB.Radio communication equipment can operate from AC or DC power source, or simultaneously from both sources provided that AC mains is used as primary pow-er source while DC mains as backup power source.

Performance capabilities- Full compliance with ICAO and National standards;- High interference protection for adverse electromag-netic environment;- Self-adaptation to environmental conditions;- 24/7 operation with maximum (up to 50 W) radio transmitter output capacity;- Advanced integrated test capabilities;- Easy user interface and fool-proof operation;- Remote control and monitoring capabilities over low-frequency lines and digital channels;- Effective monitoring and redundancy; high reliability;- Unauthorized local access alarm;- Electronic event log (registration) with support of lo-cal/remote access;- Service software with user-friendly graphic interface;- Compact and lightweight modular design that uses advanced and perspective components.
