MODEL 1150 DVOR IN CONTEXT OF 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
Carrier Antenna in the center of the ring
The Counterpoise is used for clean reflection of RF pattern
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.
VOR ONLY
In this case the pilot wants to fly North toward the VOR from the South. He would be on radial 180.
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.) 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.

A portion of the 9960Hz signal is formed by mixing the Carrier with the USB in space.

If the sideband antenna were stationary, then the 9960 Hz signal would not vary in frequency.
As the sideband antenna rotates, it approaches or departs the receiver at high velocity.

The Doppler Effect causes the 9960 Hz to deviate above and below its center frequency.
The Lower Sideband adds amplitude to the 9960 Hz signal.

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.

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.

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. End of Slide Presentation.
