Re: FW: [BITX20] RD16HHF1 power curve flattening...some

 

I vote for making the PA output transformer primary winding centertapped,
and feeding Vcc into that center tap instead of using the two chokes from Vcc to the drains.
When using LTSpice to simulate it takes a long time for the current through the chokes to ramp up,
and thus a lot of lost time to simulate.? The action when feeding from the centertap is instantaneous.

Almost equivalent is using a separate centertapped inductor to feed power as done on the wa2eby amp.
Has the advantage of spreading the load across the two different toroids.

The chokes work.?
The centertapped transformer (or separate centertapped inductor) is simpler, easier to simulate,
and more commonly encountered elsewhere.

Re: ND6T AGC implementation for uBIT-X

 

Jerry,

What is the goal here? Is a wattmeter function really needed inside the
ubitx? Or would it be better as an external attachment that can be used
with other equipment?

For me, measurement of the reverse power is the primary measurement
needed inside the ubitx. It is useful for adjusting an external tuner
and for deciding if the ubitx is at risk from a bad load. I am using
the simple circuit at the nd6t site to get the reverse power
measurement. Right now I am using an external analog meter but I have
an adafruit ADS1015 that I am going to use when I get my ubitx working
again. I am using a little 4x4 breadboard to make an I2C bus expander
and the ADS1015 will feed into this along with the I2C lcd.

Coding for this is extremely simple. You don't even have to convert to
volts. Just display the reading from the ads1015. As it goes down you
know the reverse power is going down. If you want to do it with an
analog pin on the nano you can do that too.

Just my 2cents. FWIW.

Kees,

Consensus on the EMRFD yahoo group was that the ebay AD8307's worked
fine:

Some posts there are guessing that when boards get autostuffed from
reels there are often a few parts remaining at the end of the reel,
and the ebay sellers make the remnants available cheaply. Though if
that were truly the case, I'd expect more parts to get sold at 95%
off list price like that.

Diz already has a Stockton/TandemMatch kit at what I think is a
reasonable $12 plus shipping:
Shipping probably has to be
more than $0.70 because of the toroids. Uses 1n5711 schottky diode
detectors.

I mentioned here that I was planning to substitute a couple AD8307's
but Arv convinced me to first try biasing the 1n5711's to make them
more sensitive. /g/BITX20/message/47628
You probably already saw that, it's in this same thread.

I wrote Nano code for the Tandem Match? to display forward and
reverse power in Watts, also SWR. but it's also a major rewrite of
all the uBitx code and I got lost in the weeds fiddling with other
stuff for a few weeks.? I'll try to get my code going in the next few
days. The AD8307's would give more dynamic range, but I think the
1n5711's with bias will be plenty polite. Displaying Watts and SWR
from the AD8307's linear-in-dB output would be slightly more
difficult on our computationally challenged Nano.? I'm planning to
use A6 and A7 for the bridge, move the paddle to digital pins D0 and
D1 (which are currently unused except when downloading firmware).

Anybody worried about smoking their expensive RD16HHF1 FET's could
use the reflected power reading to shut down the transmitter when
their EFHW antenna falls to the ground in the wind.? ? ;-)

Re: ND6T AGC implementation for uBIT-X

 

Here's my unproven code for displaying forward and reverse power in Watts
plus SWR on the bottom line of the 16x2 LCD, when using a TandemMatch with diode detectors.
It's actually quite simple and not computationally expensive..? Hereby released under GPL v3.0

Could be made more accurate by adding the schottky diode drop to the two voltage readings.
Assuming the transformer turns ratios are kept at 10:1, the SWR should be reasonably accurate
without calibration.? Especially if a few uA of bias is added to the diodes.
Power readings should be reasonably accurate if the SWR is close to 1:1
since they assume a 50 ohm load.

Maximum analogRead() return value is 1023, and represents a peak RF voltage of 5 volts.
Given the 10:1 turns ratio and assuming there is zero reflected power, that's an RF peak
voltage at the antenna jack of 50 volts, and an rms RF voltage of? 50/sqrt(2).? Assuming an
antenna load of 50 ohms, that's a power of? ?(50/sqrt(2)) * (50/sqrt(2)) / 50 ohms = 25.0 watts.
From this, we determine the value of PSCALE in the code below.

Using the linear-in-db ad8307 could be done with the same code, but first using
a table lookup to convert to RF volts.
I don't really want to be computing anti-logs on a Nano.
A table lookup will burn some flash.

My primary reason not to mess with ad8307's is that they are harder to dead bug.
If the timing skew between forward/reverse readings is an issue, I'd definitely try the cap.
Likely still accurate enough.?

Bill wrote:

We currently use a blocking analogRead() in many places in the code, each taking over 100us.
And in some cases do it constantly for stuff such as inspecting switches or keyer paddles.
So speeding up the analogRead() by a factor of 5 and occasionally (once per second?)?
reading the forward and reverse power should not be much of a burden, even if averaging
a half dozen reads.?

Should be possible to set up the ADC to be interrupt driven, an interrupt service
routine updates a list of all ADC readings.? In mainline code, we'd then disable interrupts
and read those last few forward and reverse readings to take an average.? Since we
are no longer blocking for each 100us+ analogRead(), this would be much less a timing burden.

Things may eventually slow down too much for somebody trying to use the keyer at 40wpm.
Otherwise I doubt there will be much of an issue with a lost millisecond here and there.
And I'm inclined to avoid interrupts till they are absolutely needed, as they are prone to?
errors that would be inscrutable to the several thousand new programmers we want to
be playing with this code.

I'm using a direct probe. The 815 has a 50ohm input which should be a

Hello Nik,

How did you go with the feedback issue?

My power amp mods in summary:? finals as RD16HHF1s, feedback resistors R261/R262 as 820 Ohms, Transformer 2T primary / 3T secondary on BN43-202, 180pF across the output transformer primary and 330pf across R87/R88. That's all...in a way.

Heavily inspired by Erhard's (DF3FY) information as displayed on uBitx.net.

Results per band at 14V supply, RV1 at %60, RD16's biased at 250mA each:
Band? ? ? output power? ?Total current

Re: Need help understanding a line of code in ubitx_si5351.cpp (msxp2 = ...) #radiuno

 

It is admittedly obtuse code.??
Pretty much by nature, as the registers on the si5351 are rather obtuse.
But I convinced myself it was correct (with no overflows) before releasing it.
I doubt most users of other si5351 libraries ever manage to figure them out either.

I invented the scheme for downshifting b and c of (a+b/c) till c fits in its 20 bit register
as a way of doing these computations in 32 bit integer math.? But later found a
similar trick in apnotes for sister part si5338, so the technique has been blessed by SiLabs.
The si5338 notes were created before my re-invention.

A new set of eyes may find bugs I didn't see.
Let me know if you find anything.
Or have any further questions.

Everyone incorporating my code feels obliged to make minor changes to style.
The original code is in? ??/g/BITX20/files/KE7ER/si5351bx_0_0.ino

There are errors and inconsistencies and omissions in that AN619 doc.
In particular, the Fvco/Fout ratio of (a+b/c) is restricted to values of 8.0 through 1800.0
inclusive, it's also possible to special case integer values of 4 and 6 but we do not use that.
The PLL msynth ratio is of course restricted to those values of Fvco/Fxtal that give a Fvco
of 600-900 mhz, so for an Fxtal of 25mhz that's values between 24.0 and 36.0 inclusive.??
Register 36 is shown incorrectly in the summary on page 36.
And the document does not give enough information about which registers need to be initialized.
The ClockBuilderPro software from SiLabs can help resolve some of that, but does some stuff
not documented at all in AN619, initializes registers that don't need it, and hunts for elusive
msynth register values using small integers in b and c but avoids the msynth's integer mode.??

Re: ND6T AGC implementation for uBIT-X

Yes, you¡¯ve got it.? The Nyquist sampling theory sets the limit of resolving the Power (and hence SWR), and the A/D rate needs to be faster than that or it won¡¯t work properly. For a 3 KHz signal that¡¯s about 10 KHz¡­and as you point out that¡¯s above the default sampling rate.? 58.6 KHz would be ok, but to get that rate probably assumes that the processor is dedicated to the task, not off doing other uBITx work, although there is probably some clever way to get the measurement pairs close to each other by ignoring some other operations momentarily.? Averaging is the only way to overcome this and, statistically, the quality of the answer depends on the symmetry of the wave form (e.g. will probably work perfectly for CW and be mixed for SSB).

That's a good point, skew between ADC reads could trash the SWR readings.

I'd prefer to stick with a Nano analogRead() of the two TandemMatch detector signals somehow.
If it jumps around too much during SSB use, can just send CW for a second or two.
Or whistle into the mike.

This webpage says the Nano's analogRead() by default can sample at 8.9 khz.
However, by adjusting the ADC's prescaler, it can be cranked up to sample rate of 58.6khz.
By moving away from the analogRead() function and running the ADC in freerun mode,
he got the sample rate up to 76.8khz.? I don't know if freerun mode allows us to read 2 pins.
? ??

I would guess this speedup will impact the accuracy of the ADC somewhat.?
Perhaps once each second during transmit we pump up the ADC prescaler for the
reads of forward and reverse power, then set it back to the default.?

If we can use the ADC at 50khz or more and the audio is changing at 3khz or less,
I doubt the SWR readings will jitter all that much.?
Perhaps we average all SWR readings taken over a period of a second,
then update the display with that average once each second.?

The power meter notes Bill pointed to in?
? ? /g/BITX20/files/K9HZ%20Projects/Notes%20on%20TF3LJ%20Power-SWR%20Meter%20by%20K5EMI.pdf
do suggest the cheap eBay AD8307's? have an anomaly not found in parts purchased from Mouser.
Though if the error is ever of concern, perhaps it could be calibrated out with a lookup table?
I wonder if those cheap parts could all use the same lookup table?
He was comparing only one cheap part against one Mouser part, so I'd guess it's real,
but it's not yet conclusive.

I need to write a manual for this but I have been too busy coding it so that you could assess your Arduino..hihi

The main menu number 2 (Analogue inputs), brings a second level menu for testing the encoder inputs, the push button, the PTT, the Keyer and the spare analogue input.

Results are displayed in a horizontal bar graph with a scale from 0 to 5V representing the value read by the inputs. That way you can see how it matches the values your voltmeter indicates on the respective pin.

Results are shown only on changes to the values read, for example when rotating the encoder, pushing the PTT or the encoder push-button etc...

If no results are shown then your Arduino cannot read analogue inputs and it would mean plan-B unfortunately.

Let me know how you go with it.
