First aid: artificial breathing(mouth to mouth)

1

In case of electric shock you have to ensure the first aids to

the patient, but to do this you have to consider two very

important things:

- interrupt immediately the electric circuit;

- if the circuit has not been interrupted, do not touch

the patient with bare hands;

After doing this, without delay contact the nearest mobile

unit of first aid and practice to the patient, in case of loss of

consciousness, the breathing mouth to mouth as described

below.

2

Put the patient lying on his back with the arms parallel to

the body, ensure that he does not have the breathing tracts

obstructed (chewing-gum, dental prosthesis, etc.),

otherwise set him free from foreign bodies.

Kneel near the patient’s head and putting a hand under his

neck, incline as possible his/her head backwards.

3

Going on with keeping the patient’s head inclined with one

hand, use the other one to occlude the nostrils, if you are

going to practise the breathing through the oral cavity, or

occlude the mouth if you want to do it through the nasal

cavity.

While doing this begin the auto-oxygenation, with deep

breathing.

Then practice the artificial breathing blowing in the chosen

cavity beginning with ten expirations each minute to go on

them with twelve and fifteen.

4

During the breathing procedure you have to control that the

patient’s chest dilates, otherwise change cavity where to

blow the air because the previous one could be obstructed.

5 Do not ever stop the artificial breathing until the patient

has recovered or the first aid unit has come.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EK-DTX/1 works as DVB-T modulator. The board allows to obtain the digital modulation in

according with the DVB-T standard transport stream transmission.

The next page shows the EK-DTX/1 block scheme.

We can split up the block scheme reported in fig 1.1 into different section below depicted:

Input section.

Reference and Oscillator section.

Modulator section.

Analog section.

AGC section.

Controller section.

FIG. 1.1

EK-DTX/1 7

601-000097 Rev. D Arch. 5440 21/03/2017

1.1.1 Input section

The EK-DTX/1 board is composed by four input. The ASI 1 and ASI 2 are physical input

represented by the BNC connector located on the board panel (see chapter 2). The maximum

transport stream bit rate for this inputs is 216 Mbit/sec.

The INT MPX and INT DEC are two internal input directly connected to the internal matrix line of

the EK-MFR/1 (see EK-MFR/1 user’s manual). The maximum transport stream bit rate for this

inputs is 54 Mbit/sec.

Like the figure 1.2 shows, every transport stream input is processed by two block: PID DETECTOR

and PACKET FILTER.

The PID DETECTOR verify that the PID of the NIT,MIP and PAT tables are allocated in the

transport stream. If one of this PID is not present an alarm occurs.

The PACKET FILTER, in MFN mode, allows to delete the stuffing packets present on the transport

stream, so after the PKT FLT block it is possible to read the real transport stream bit rate.(every

input have a bit rate meter associated).

ASI 1, ASI 2, INT MPX, INT DEC are connected to the input mux. The user, by the menu, can set

the in variable to determinate which of the four input must be selected to use.

EK-DTX/1 8

601-00097 Rev. D Arch. 5440 21/03/2017

1.1.2 Reference and Oscillator section

Each DVB-T transmitter needs an univocal time reference to be synchronized into a symbol

fraction. To do this the 1pps of a GPS signal can be used.

The GPS receiver block (RX GPS), receives the signal from the GPS IN connector (see chapter 2)

While the GPS receiver is correctly locked an accurate timing signal is provided at its 1pps output

(1pps_GPS), moreover GPS_fix output is set to high so the 1pps signal is carried out to the

EK_MFR in order to be used by other boards (1pps_out).

The Sat variable located in the Status menu of the board gives information about the number of the

received satellites.

The 1pps can be taken from two other sources: an internal reference INT (MFN mode only) or an

external reference (EXT) such as the 1pps signal coming from another board. A detector (Det)

checks the presence of the incoming external 1pps.

To select which signal to use as reference to synchronized the transmitter, a variable Ref can be set

by the menu (see 3.2). The alarms management, respect to selected reference (Ref), is explained in

the table below.

Ref GPS IN EXT Ref State

GPS X - No GPS Ref !

Ext - X No Ext Ref !

Int - - Int OK

Auto X √ No GPS Ref !

Auto √ X No Ext Ref !

Auto X X No Refs !

Note: - = any condition, √= present signal, X= absent signal

The oscillator section allows to lock the 10 MHz frequency generated by the VCXO to the 1 pps

reference.

The 10 MHz reference clock is also used to lock the PLL in the local oscillator generation (see

analog section 1.2.5).

FIG. 1.3

EK-DTX/1 9

601-000097 Rev. D Arch. 5440 21/03/2017

1.1.3 Modulator section

The signal coming from the input mux is processed to substitute the Network Information Table in

the MFN mode allowing the change of the parameters of the incoming table.

The PCR block also used in the MFN mode adapts the bit rate at the outgoing value and also

restamp the PCR with the calculated value due to the time shift needed for the packet stuffing.

The OFDM modulator generates the symbols processing the TS in respect of ETSI EN 300.744,

on the TPS are added all the flags regarding modulation value, cell id and so on.

A separated block allow the synchronization of the modulator to generate the frame exactly in the

moment needed for the SFN operation, the DDR2 memory store the incoming transport stream for

the time needed to respect and follow the Maximum delay parameter contained in the Megaframe

Insertion Packet.

The microprocessor add to the Maximum delay value also the value eventually contained in the Time offset function coming from the MIP, this value represented in the menu as "Ofs" is settable

also manually but it takes again the value from the MIP if the function for this Tx Id is transmitted.

The "Dyn" value represents the actual delay value inserted by the EK-DTX/1 to transmit the symbol

at the requested time.

On the output of the OFDM modulator are present the I and Q signals that are sent to the

precorrector block. This block allows to compensate the amplitude and phase non-linear distortion

introduced by the amplifiers chain, the K values allow for the compensation of the amplitude and

the P for the phase.

601-00097 Rev. D Arch. 5440 21/03/2017

1.1.4 Analog section

The I and Q signal coming from the modulator section are digital to analog converted first and then

low pass filtered to obtain the base band frequency signal BB (0 to 4MHz).

The BB signals are mixed with the OL signal coming from the PLL, its frequency is related to the

output frequency set with the Tx variable.

At the out of the mixers the two RF component (0° and 90°) are combined to obtain the output RF

signal.

1.1.5 AGC section

This section allows to control and power out level of the EK-DTX/1 board.

The microprocessor controls the gain of the output amplifier in respect of several parameters.

Two true RMS detector are present to allow this behavioural that is describet in the 1.3 parag.

601-00097 Rev. D Arch. 5440 21/03/2017

1.1.6 Controller section

It is possible to obtain a complete view of the status of the EK-DTX/1 board thanks to the Controller

section. Every variable of every menu of the board can be set by the user and the status of this

variable is in real time controlled. When an alarm occurs, the controller shows the name of the

variable in alarm on the EK-MFR/1 display.

1.2 AGC setting procedure

In order to control the power level and to avoid damage to the external amplifier it is very important

to apply the follow procedure:

1) Verify that: Amplifier nominal power[dBm] > ( –15dBm + Amp[dB] )

2) If not verified adjust Amp[dB] in order to satisfy point 1)

3) Assure that the amplifier module is correctly connected to the antenna and turned off.

2) Switch on the EK-MFR/1 and set the EK-DTX/1 board variables as follow:

Out lev = -15 dBm

Mode = RF Off

Max lev = 0 dBm

Thres = -20 dB

Tx = “desired frequency”

4) Connect the EK-DTX/1 board with the external amplifier module:

The EK-DTX/1 SMA TX connector with the RF input of the amplifier

The EK-DTX/1 SMA DET connector with the monitory output of the amplifier

5) Turn on the amplifier.

6) Set the Mode parameter to the Int value.

FIG. 1.8

EK-DTX/1 14

601-00097 Rev. D Arch. 5440 21/03/2017

7) Adjust the Out lev parameter to obtain, on the output of the amplifier the desired power value.

8) Read the value of the Out and Det parameter (see Status menu).

9) Set the Mode parameter on the RF Off value.

10) Set the Out lev at the same value of the Det parameter detected on the point 8).

11) Set the Max lev value (Out lev + 1 dB usually)

12) Set the Mode parameter on the “Ext” value.

13) Wait until the AGC is correctly regulated (Det = Out lev).

The EK-DTX/1 board driving correctly the amplifier, the power out is constant maintained.

14) Set the Thres (Option).

This option allows to check the amplifier gain variation respect to the normal operation.

When a functional problem occurs and the amplifier gain decreases significantly, the

EK-DTX/1 output level is reduced automatically in order to prevent a damage on the

amplifier.

The “Thres” parameter is the threshold level and when is set to –20 dB the threshold option

is disabled. To enable this option the user can set a value included in the range [–19.9 : +15

dB], and the proper threshold value can be calculated using the following formula:

Thres = Det – Out – X.

where:

Det = monitory output level amplifier (detected on point 8).

Out = output level of EK-DTX/1 (detected on point 8).

X = maximum allowed variation of amplifier gain respect to the normal run (positive

number expressed in dB).

Note : these value must be taken during the normal run.

When the threshold level is passed, the EK-DTX/1 reduces the Max lev automatically value

by 6 dB and the “Thres” alarm is displayed in State of Status menu.

EK-DTX/1 15

601-000097 Rev. D Arch. 5440 21/03/2017

If the Amplifier supplies a signal to squelch the exciter during alarms and power on it is possible to

use Condition Builder (from the Eurotek Software Suite) to switch off the RF (see the next

example).

We suppose that the amplifier connected to the EK-DTX/1 board, supplies a voltage signal that,

if it is < of 5V means that the amplifier is in fault condition, so it is necessary to switch off the RF

signal of the EK-DTX/1 board to preserve the amplifier module.

It is necessary to connect the voltage supplied by the amplifier and the relative ground, to the EK-

PWS/x board of the EK-MFR/1.

Like the figure 1.10 shows the voltage signal must be connected with the pin number 17 (Volt in 1)

of the 25 sub-D connector. The ground must be connected with the ground of the EK-PWS/x (pin

16). (See EK-PWS/x user’s manual, Auxiliary connector).

So, the EK-MFR/1 can read the Voltage value coming from the Amplifier (see EK-MFR/1 user’s

manual, Miscellaneus menu => Volt in 1).

Now using the Eurotek Condition Builder software, it is possible to switch off the RF signal of the

EK-DTX/1 in according with the value displayed on the Volt in 1 field.

FIG. 1.9

EK-DTX/1 16

601-00097 Rev. D Arch. 5440 21/03/2017

When the Condition Builder software is launched the following window appears.

In the top righ angle of the window, the user must the:

Target Board = EK-DTX/1

Target Param = Mode

Set Target to = EXT (AGC in manual mode)

Comment = user’s comment (No Alarm for example)

In this manner, the board works in manual AGC during normal working condition (Mode = Ext).

Now the user must insert the condition to control the RF switch off.

EK-DTX/1 17

601-000097 Rev. D Arch. 5440 21/03/2017

To do this,it is necessary to click the Add Condition label on the top left of the window.

Now the user must to specify the which variable event must be used to control the Target board

parameter:

Slot = Main (EK-MFR/1)

Parameter = Volt in 1

IF

From = 0.0

To = 5.0

Set target to = RF Off

Comment = Amp Alarm (for example)

Click on the Apply button to confirm the settings.

With the above setting, the RF signal of the EK-DTX/1 is switched off when the Volt in 1 variable

is included in the range 0V ÷ 5V.

This condition could be modified or other conditions could be added upon customer needs.

available,from 1 to 8 are the virtual channel available.

For example if the Vc is 2357 it means that 2 is the Vc related to the Int dec,3

is for the Int Mpx,5 is for ASI 2 and 7 is for ASI 1. This parameter is used

when IN Mode is set to Vc.

>>>In Mode

Select the input modality.

Nor: normal mode.

Vc: virtual channel mode.

Flt : filtered mode.

Nor: The incoming transport stream is transmitted as it is.

Vc : This mode must be selected only when a EK-MPA/4 board is used at the

studio side.

Allows to set the virtual channel (VC) value.The software loaded on the EK-

DTX/1 board, includes the possibilities to work with the transport stream

multiplexed.We suppose that on the ASI 1 input BNC connector is present a

transport stream coming from an EK-MPA/4 board (see EK-MPA/4 & EK-

DMA/4 user’s manual),if the Vc related to the ASI 1 input is set to 4 it means

that on the modulator is send the transport strem mapped on the virtual

channel 4 of the EK-MPA/4.

Flt mode: we suppose that the input transport stream is stuffed with a non

standard stuffing PID (8191), this system allows to filter the non-standard

stuffing packets present on the incoming transport stream.

>>AGC

The AGC menu allows to set the parameter to adjust the EK-DTX/1 board.

Refer to 1.2.6 AGC section

>>> Out lev

Output power transmitter level (dBm)

>>> Mode

Set the AGC modality:

Freeze = the value of output power level is stuck.

Int = the EK-DTX/1 gain is automatically adjust.

Ext = the EK-DTX/1 gain is manually adjust.

RF Off = the transmitter is turned off.

>>> Max lev

Maximum power level (dBm) that the AGC can carry out.

>>> Thres

Control threshold level that allows to reduce the gain of the EK-DTX/1

automatically(derating).

>> Set up

The Set up menu is a read/write menu. The user can change the next sub-menu

parameters.

The parameter located in the Set up menu are related with the modulator section

(1.2.4).

>>>Supp I

Correction for carrier suppression the I signal

>>>Supp Q

Correction for carrier suppression the Q signal

>>>Quad

Correction for the Quadrature Error of the modulator

>>>Imb

Correction for the Imbalance amplitude of the modulator

>>>Tilt

Set the tilt amplitude for the modulator

>>>Bend

Set the bend amplitude for the modulator

>>>K1 to K6

coefficients for the non-linear amplitude amplifier predistortion .

>>>P1 to P6

coefficients for the non-linear phase amplifier predistortion.
