Troubleshooting B Stereo/RDS Coder option R&S SMB-B5
Input and Output Signals
The Stereo/RDS Coder module is connected to the Basis Board via connector X108 and the ribbon cable
W108. The cable supports the Stereo Coder power supply, the digital control lines, and the connections
for internal audio input and multiplex output signal. The internal analog modulation signal generated by
the RF Board and an associated GND signal passes through the ribbon cable W222 to the Basis Board.
On the Basis Board a summing amplifier extracts the differential portion of the signals and delivers the
result to the Stereo Coder.
In addition, the Coder is connected to three external audio input BNC connectors on the rear panel via
shielded SMP cables.
