GENERAL DVOR THEORY
OBJECTIVES OF MODEL 1150 DVOR IN CONTEXT OF GENERAL DVOR THEORY
RF spectrum as seen by the aircraft

The phase relationship of the AM and FM
components
How Model 1150 Doppler VOR produces each
component
The characteristics of the CSB output from
the transmitter
The characteristics of each sideband output
from the transmitter
TYPICAL INSTALLATION OF DVOR STATION
Ring of 48 Sideband
Antennas
The Counterpoise

pattern
Carrier Antenna in the

center of the ring
The Transmitter is
located in the shelter
TYPICAL ON-BOARD INDICATORS

The bug turns the bearing ring to select the
direction the pilot wants to be traveling when he
arrives at the VOR.
In this case the pilot wants to fly North
toward the VOR from the South. He
would be on radial 180.
VOR ONLY
If he is directly south of the VOR, then the

needle is centered.
Bearing
ring
A flag shows that he is flying north To

the VOR. (The From flag would not
be visible in this case.)
bug
After he passes over the VOR, the To

flag disappears and the From flag
appears.
TYPICAL ON-BOARD INDICATORS
VOR AND ILS

A VOR Deviation Indicator can be combined with an
ILS indicator. When the Localizer is selected, then
the vertical needle shows Localizer information
instead of VOR information.

As the sideband
antenna rotates, it
approaches or departs
the receiver at high
velocity.

Using the PMDT, it is possible to

make it equal to Sideband 4.
89
It is not possible to equalize the phases of two different frequencies.

But, consider the Carrier and LSB frequencies.
Their mix in space creates a
beat frequency (9960 Hz). This
provides half the modulation.
The phase of the beat frequency

depends on the relative phase
of the two original signals
(Carrier and LSB).
90
Now, consider the

Carrier and USB
frequencies.
Their mix in space also creates a beat

frequency (9960 Hz). This provides the
other half of the modulation
The phase of this beat
frequency also depends on the
relative phase of the two original
signals (Carrier and USB).
91
If the phase of the two modulations

are the same, then they mix well in
space, causing a maximum effect on
the carrier (maximum 9960 Hz
modulation).
If the phase of the two modulations

are not the same, then they dont mix
well in space, causing less than
optimum effect on the carrier (low
9960 Hz modulation).
92
If the phase of the carrier is adjusted,

it has the opposite effect on the two
beat signals.
Movement of carrier phase

both advances one beat
signal, and retards the
other.
When the 9960 Hz modulation is at its

maximum, the Carrier to Sideband Phase
is at its optimum value.

CPU CCA Lecture
The main function of the CPU CCA

The purpose of the Lithium battery
Gathers data for interaction with PMDT and RCSU software.
Communicates with other RMS modules through the backplane.
The EEPROM is actually a battery-operated RAM.
Retains its memory as long as the battery is good.
Battery is designed to stay good for 100 years, as long as power
remains constantly on.
It takes more than a month of no power to drain the battery
If the CPU CCA is removed from the cabinet, remove the battery
jumper to conserve charge.

Procedures not covered during labs
6.4.3 Cabinet Backplane Connector Adjustment. Use if a

replacement module in the RMS does not quite fit into the slot.
6.4.4 Replacing CPU (1A13) CCA. Use this procedure when
replacing a CPU CCA. It outlines the procedures for loading the
alignment and configuration data into the new CPU.
6.4.5 Update of DVOR Software. This should not be attempted
except at the instruction of the factory. New software may not be
compatible with old hardware.
6.4.8 Changing the CPU CCA (1A13) Lithium Battery. If the battery
fails during Annual Preventive Maintenance (or at any other time),
follow this procedure to replace it. This will keep the data intact.
9.7.1 Strapping Battery Charger Power Subsystem (BCPS) for 240
VAC. Use this procedure any time the BCPS is replaced.
9.7.4 Checking the Battery Charger Power Subsystem for 43 or 48
Volts. Use this procedure any time the Main Voltage needs to be
checked. Especially check it after the BCPS is replaced, or after a
commercial power surge.

LECTURE
FLIGHT CHECK
116
Objectives of Flight Check Lecture
How to provide ground support for a flight check

What to expect:
Prior to arrival, set the DVOR (and associated DME)
with antenna to transmitter 1.
On arrival, a flight crew normally begins a
commissioning FC with an orbit. After the orbit, you
can expect to hear the following results.
117
Preparation for Flight Check
Calibrate Transmitters 1 and 2 to produce the value of CSB

defined on the Nominal screen, measured with external
wattmeter
Calibrate the Sideband Generators so that all eight sidebands
have the same power output, measured with external wattmeter
Calibrate the PMDT wattmeter readings
Perform all phasing adjustments (SB1-SB2, SB3-SB4, CSB to
Sideband)
Perform the full checkout procedure, paragraph 6.2 of the
manual
Adjust the transmitter values to produce ideal monitor values
on the PMDT
118
Transmitters, Configuration, Nominal
For one, the flight crew will

announce the Station Error, or
Offset.
Adjust for Station Error by putting
the number given by the Flight
Check crew in the Azimuth Index
field.
If using that number increases the error,
then change the sign of the index.
You will also be

told the Spread.
The maximum spread during Flight

Check is 4 degrees. There is no
corrective action to reduce spread
which can be performed during the
flight check. All the causes are due
to siting.
119
You will be told

the percent
modulation of
the 9960 Hz
signal.
Adjust the 9960 Hz percent

modulation by increasing or
decreasing the SBO RF level.
120
Transmitters, Configuration, Offsets and Scale Factors
You will be told

the percent
modulation of
the 30 Hz
signal.
Adjust the 30 Hz percent modulation

by increasing or decreasing the
Scale factor for Transmitter 1.
121
Once the flight crew has completed a test

with Transmitter 1 on antenna, they will ask
you to transfer the antenna to Transmitter 2.
You will transfer back and forth several
times during the Flight Check.
DO NOT adjust any

Nominal values when
Transmitter 2 is on the
antenna.
122
If the pre-flight inspection

alignment was performed
well, then there should be
no need to adjust
Transmitter 2.
However, if an adjustment is
needed, make all adjustments for
Transmitter 2 on Transmitters,
Configuration, Offsets and Scale
Factors screen.
123
Once the flight check is complete, and has passed, DO NOT ADJUST ANY MORE
TRANSMITTER PARAMETERS. However, it is necessary to adjust the monitor
parameters on the Field Detector column.
Azimuth Angle Offset to
correct Azimuth Angle.
124
Monitors, Configuration, Offsets and Scale Factors

30 Hz Modulation to
correct 30 Hz Modulation
9960 Hz Modulation to
correct 9960 Hz Modulation
Once the Flight Check has passed, and the monitors are reading ideal
values, then maintenance is complete.
Put the controls in normal, clean up, lock up, and have some Scooby
snacks.
