Section 4 Theory of Operation
Maxiva ULX COFDM Series
4.6.3.3 PA PS (AC/DC) Voltage Select Path
Each PA and IPA has eight AC/DC converters (power supplies) which supply voltage to
the drains each power amplifier FET. Depending on the RF frequency of operation, the
power supplies can be set for 44 Vdc, 46 Vdc, 48 Vdc or 50 Vdc. The power supply
output voltage select path, from the MCM board in the TCU to each power supply in
each PA and IPA module is shown in Figure 4-14 on page 4-37. The PA voltage select
path from the MCM board in the TCU to the IPA and PA backplanes, shown with bold
lines in figure Figure 4-14, is carried on pin 7 of the 25 conductor Cabinet Bus. This
represents the only use of the cabinet bus in the Maxiva transmitter.
