4.5 Metering Circuit Board<br />
The ALC and metering circuitry is on the metering board (see Illustration 4–5).<br />
This board processes information for the RF and DC metering, and produces ALC<br />
(RF level-control) bias. It also provides reference and input voltages for the digital<br />
panel meter, voltages for remote metering, fan control, and drive for the<br />
front-panel fault indicators.<br />
Illustration 6–8 and accompanying schematic complement this discussion.<br />
PA voltage and current come from a metering shunt on the power regulator board.<br />
The PAI input is a current proportional to PA current; R405 converts the current<br />
to voltage used for metering and control. A voltage divider from the PAV line is<br />
used for DC voltage metering.<br />

Illustration 4–5 Metering Board<br />
U406A, U406B, and U407A, with their respective diodes, are diode linearity<br />
correction circuits. Their DC inputs come from diode detectors in the RF<br />
reflectometer in the RF low-pass filter compartment.<br />
U407B, U407C, Q405, and Q406 are components of a DC squaring circuit. Since<br />
the DC output voltage of U407C is proportional to RF voltage squared, it is also<br />
proportional to RF power.<br />
U404C, U404A, U403A, and U404D are level sensors for RF power, reflected RF<br />
power, PA temperature, and external PA current, respectively. When either of<br />
these parameters exceeds the limits, the output of U404B will be forced low,<br />
reducing the ALC (RF level control) voltage, which, in turn, reduces the PA supply<br />
voltage.<br />
The DC voltage setpoint for U404A (reflected RF voltage) is one-fifth that of U404C<br />
(forward RF voltage). This ratio corresponds to an SWR of 1.5:1 [(1+.2)/(1–<br />
.2)=1.5]. The U405 inverters drive the front panel fault indicators.<br />
