TL ‘The Swan Model 600-T Transmitter is designed to be used in OW, AM, SSB, FSK, and SSTV modes aver all portions (of the 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meter amateur radio bands Expanded frequency coverage is possible with the use of the optional accessory SIOX Crystal Controlled Oscillators Model S08 External VFO Oscillator, ot Model 330 General Coverage Tuner. Basic circuitry of the singe conversion design lias been proven in many thousands of the popular Swan Transceivers. Mechanical, electrical, and thecal sta- bility is exceptionally high. All oscillators are temperature INTRODUCTION compensated and voltage reguleted. Operation may be fixed, ‘oF portable, Carrier suppression is typically greater thon. 60 db, and wawanted sideband suppression is down more than 0 db, Power input on all bands exceeds 600 watts, P.EP., on single sideband; 500 watis DC on CW; 150 warts DC on AM;and (00 watts continuous on RTTY /SSTV, The {600-T includes automatic level control (ALC), grid black keying, CW sidetone monitor, and peovisions for Fell and Semi-Break-in CW keying.Refer to Figure 1, and the schematic diagtam for the follow: ing discussion ‘When the push-to-talk switch on the microphone is pressed, the transmitter js activated, und yenerates a single sideband, suppressed carrier signal jn the Following manner. Audie from the microphone is coupled through C802 te the grid of the Mic. Amplifier VAB. The audio is amplified and coupled through C810, and the MIC. GAIN conteol RSDG, to the grid of the transmit A.F. Amplifier V8A. ‘The audi is again amplified, and coupled through C704 ta the dellection plate of the Balanced Modulator. Carrier is generated at approximately $500 KC in the tea sistorized cartier osillator cituit Q3. The RF output of the cartier oscillator is injected iato the eontrol grid of the Balanced Moduiator theough C1006. This Balaciced Mode lator is a beam deflection tube, and operates similar to a cathode ray tube, in that the electron beam from the cathe ade is deflected to one output plate or the ether by the charge appearing on the delleetion plate. The carrier RF signsi fed to the control grid of the Balanced Modulator appears on both plates of the output, The two plates are connected to T7O1 in push-pull, s0 that the carrer signal ‘cancels itself out in T7O1. The deflection plate DC voltages, ate adjusted by the Carries Balance control R712, so that the RE being fed to the output plates will cancel out, and the output from T701 will be zero. Audio signals froma the transmit AP. Ampiitier V8A, ate apptied as 1 modulating voltage to one deflection plate, and the two sidebands r2- sulting from the sum and difference frequencies of the audio and cartier frequency heterodyning appear in the output of T7O1, Carrier suppression is approximately 60 db. ‘The double sideband, suppressed cartier signal is then cou- pled from the secundary winding of T701 Uhnough C702, co the Crystal Latses Filter. The Crystal Latice Filer sup presses the Lower Sideband, and permits only the Upper Sideband to be fed to the grid of the LF, Amplifier V6. With the Opposite Sideband crystal, the easier frequeney is generated at approximately 5803.3 KC, and this pesitions the double sideband sigral on the other side of the filter response curve, atteoueting the Uppes Sideband by atleast 50 ab. The output of the IF, Amplifier is coupled theough T6OI to the contro grid of the Mixer V2. QI, the transistorized VFO Oscillator, uperate inthe com ron base configuration as a eolptts osilator. Q2, the Buiter Amplifier, is used for isolation. The extremely goes! regulation achieved through using the Zener diode regulator DI212 across the bias supply voltage, also contributes 10 the stability. Bandowitching is accomplished dy changing the tank circuit ceil, The VEO exhibits extremely goend CIRCUIT THEORY| stability after the initial warm-up period, Drift from 2 cold start will be less than 1 ke for the frst hour on $0, 40, and 20 meters, and Tess than 2 ke on 15 and 1@ meters. After wamnrup, drift will be negligible. ‘The output of the VEO. Oscillator is coupled through C1117 to the grid of the VEO. Amplifier VJ. ate tuning is accomplished by LIOL through L103 anu! their associated components. The signal is amplified and coupled through C144 to the injection grid oof the Mixer V2. In the Mixer, the VFO injection frequency is subuactively hheterodyned ‘with the LF. signal on 80 and 40 meters, a the resaltant output is the Lower Sideband RF. opecating frequency. On 20, 15, and 10 meters, the VEO injection frejpreney is additively heteradyned with the LP. signal, wl the resultant output is the Upper Sideband R.F. oper ating frequeney. Ptaie cuning i avcomplished by L201 through L205 and their assexiated components, The output ‘of the Mixer i coupled through C204 ta the grid of the Driver V3, where the signal is amplified and coupled throxigh, C303 to the grids of the Power Amplifiers V4 and V5, Grid Utive for the Driver and Power Ampifiers i provided by the mechanically ganged Grid Tuning eupaciters €209/C307, The Driver plate circu! is tuned by L302 theough L306 and the associated components. ‘The Power Amplifiers are connected in parallel, and their ‘output is coupled through the two parasitic suppressors, ZA01 /2A02; through the two parallel capacizors C411 /0412: to the wide range Pi-network. The Prnetwork consist of 11404: the two section P.A, Tune capacitors C413 A/C813B, and C414; the two section P.A. Load capacitors CH 7A/ C417B, and C418, L405; and the Auxiliary Loading capaci. tors C415, C416. “The output of the Pi-network is vermin: ated af the coaxial antenna connector J7. Neutralization of the Power Amplifiers is accomplished by adjusting C41D. 4, the HIGH/LOW povwee switch, contols the screen vo ane being applied to the Power Amplifiectabes. In the HIGH position, the screen voltage is rowed around the divider resistors R410/R41, allowing the +215 velts to be applied to the scrcen gids of the power amplifier thzough the screen resistors R417/RA16. In the LOW position, the #215 volts is divided down approximately 304 by R410/R811 nv addition (o controlhiug the sereen voltage of the Power Amplifier tubes, S4 also controls the P.A.

The hegative valtage developed by this citeuit is fed back to the tid of the LF. Amplifier Vo. CW Keying is accomplished by grounding the blocking bias applied to the grids of the Mixer, Driver, and Balanced Mod. ator stages, When the CW key is closed, bias is also ce moved fom the grid of de Mic.

When the CW BREAK-IN switch is i the FULL position, the transisterized REC. MUTE stage, 03, ungrounds the Ibias line. When the CW BREAK-IN switch is im the SEML position, a contact on relay K1, ungrounds the bits hne. Power for the transmitter is supplied by the builtin power supply. Pullewave rectification is provided by the bridge ‘eifeuit comprised of D1201 thu P1208, which supplies the positive 800, 275, and 215 volt plate and screen volt- aces, The filter network is comprised of C1204, C1205, and C#207, which are computer grade capacitors, and 1201, R102, R¥203, and RI204._ ‘The negative 110 volt is developed across D1209 from 2 separate winding of T1204. The negative 12 volt transistor voltage is developed across R1206, R1207, and is regulated by the Zener diode DI212. The 126. AC filament voltage is sopplied by a sep- rate winding of TI201, and in addition, the positive 12, volt DC celay control woltage is developed by D1220 from ‘his samme winding, SINGLE SIDEBAND TRANSMISSION ‘To pemmit a logical discussion of the techniques and circuits required to goncrate a single-sideband-suppressed carrier sig- nal in the Swan Model 600-T Transmitter, itis important to ‘understand the generation of an AM (Double Sidenand with, Carrer) RF. signal AM GENERATION. A.onventional AM ansmitter normally consists of a Master Oscillator, Butfer Amplifier, Doubler Amplifier, Tripler Amplitier, and a Final Amplifier. A low frequency RP. figrier is generated in the Master Oscillator stage, and is doubled or tripled as required to arrive a the desined oper xy. In order to voice modulate this RLF. eae tier, ¥ Specch Modulator was required. Since high Tevet teculation: was normally desited, plate modulation uf He Al Aniplifiee was required. In order to modulate the the Speesh Modutstor hed t0 be capable of delivering sineowave audio power equal to 50% of the de. plate power input to the Final Amplifier. In other wonds, if tie dc. plate poster input to the Final Amplifier stage is 100 watts, the sinc-wave audio power output af the Specch Modulator must be 30 atts. When the sineowave audio is mixed with the R.F. carrie frequency, sidebands are generatce which are the sura of, and the difference be~ tween, dhe fve heterodyned signals, A fully modulated AM signal has about two-thirds of ils power ithe cartier, and ‘only about one-third in the sidebands. Since the sidebands carry all of the audio intelligence, and the intelliove eon- {ain in one sideband is duplicated in the other sideband, AM is an inefficient means of teansmission, These are other atendant drawbacks also, The bandwidth of the AM tras mission is approximately 6 ke, while the actual deimodulated audio is only approximately 3 ke SIDEBAND GENERATION: When a modulated audio frequency, such as one produced bby a human voice, is heterodyned with an RLP. eater free ‘quency, sideband frequencies are generated which are the sin of, and the difference between, the «wo he‘eodyned Frequencies. To many. those sideband frequencies are erught of as Ivins only a single frequency with a very small bandwidth, In fact, however, these sidebands are separated frum the RE, carrier frequency by the suin and dilference of the audio frequeney. For example, @ typical inteligible voice signal contains audio frequencies in the frequency range of 300 10 3000 cycles, IF this modulating audio Frequency is heterodyned with an RE. cartier fee. quency of §,500,000 eyeles, the resultant sum frequencies cover the frequency range of 5.500.300 eyeles ce 5,503,000 ceyeles, and these are called the upper sideband. Likewise, the difference frequencies cover the frequency range oF 5,499,700 cycles 10 $,497,000 cycles, and are called theower sideband. From the above information, itis apparent that each of the sidebands occupy a bandwidth ef approx mately 2,700 cycles. Since the sideband frequencies carry all the audio intelligence that is impressed on the RF. car rier frequency, and the intelligence contained in one of the sidebands 6 exactly duplicated in the other, only one side- band need be transmitted. The other sideband and carrier ‘ean be suppressed, It should be semembered that in the single-sideband suppressed-earrier mode of trans unwanted sideband and carsier are greatly suppressed, but ‘not entirely climinated. Thus, with a transmitted sigeal from a transmitter with $0 db sideband suppression, the other, of unwanted sideband, will be present, and will be smitted, ut iis Jevel will be SO db below the wanted sidlebond, When this signal is received at a level of 20 dh, ver $9, the unwanted sidehand will be present at a fevel of approximately $5, The same is tive of carrier suppression. ‘With cartier suppression of 60 db, and a signal level of 20 db cover S9, carrier will be present at a level of approximately SB to. SINGLE-SIDEBAND-SUPPRESSED-CARRIER TRANSMISSION: It ix important to Keep in mind that the sideband that is being transmitted is actually a bund of Frequencies approxix mately 2,7 ke wide, Since the normal LF. of the Svan Model 600-T Transmitter is a SS00 ke USB LF, system, those RLF. operating frequencies which are aormatly LSB ‘must be inverted to LSB before transmission On 80 and 40 meters, the normal USB LF. signal is sub- actively heterodyned with the VEO injection frequency in the Mixer stage, ond the resultant difference frequency selected at the output of the Mixer is the LSB operating frequency, For example, if the normal $5003 te 5503 ke USB LF. is heteradyned with the VFO injection frequency fof 9400 ke, the cestltane output of the Mixer will be the 3899.7 to 3897.0 ke LSB RF. operating frequency. In other words, the normal USB LF. frequency has been ins verted toa LSB RF. operating frequency by the subtractive heterodyning process. On 20, 15, and 10 meters, she normal USB LB. signal is additively helerodyned with the VFO injection frequency in the Mixer stage, and the resultant sum (requency selected at the output of the Mixer is the USB operating frequency’ For example, &f the normal $500.3 10 5503 ke USD LI. is heterodynied with the VFO injection frequency af $700 ke, the resultant output of the Mixer will be the 14,2003 to 14,203.0 ke RLF, operating lrequency. Note that on these bands, the inversion process does not take place. When operation is desired on the opposite sideband, that is, USB on 80 and 40 meters, or LSB on 20, 15, and 10 meters, the LF. system ie changed to a LSB LT. system by switch= ing the SIDEBAND SELECTOR switel wo the OPPOSITE sideband 5503.3 ke crystal. This positions the double side- ‘bund signal generated in the Balanced Modulator stage to the other side of the filter response curve. On 80 and 40, meters, the LSB LF. signal ie cubtracovely heteradyned with the VEO injoction frequency, and the resultant difference frequency selected at the oiiput of the Mixer is the USB. REF, operating frequency. Here agai, the USB LF. signal has been inverted to the USB R.F, operating frequency. On 20, 15, and 10 meters, the LSB LF, signal is additwely. hheteradyned with the VFO Injection frequency, snd the resultant sum frequency selected at the output of the Mixer is the LSB RF. operating frequency.
