Le spettacolari montagne di Pandora sul film Avatar si chiamano &#8220;Hallelujah Mountains&#8221; sono sospese nel vuoto, tra mostri e animali che vi volano attorno e i Nàvi piangono per la loro distruzione.<br />
Esiste realmente un posto nel mondo  da cui James Cameron ha tratto l&#8217;ispirazione per l&#8217;immaginazione della scenografia, si trova in Cina nel parco della foresta di Zhangjiajie nella provincia dello Hunan. &#8211; Qui un fotografo ha scattato foto per quasi tutto il 2008! &#8211; (<em>Clik to enlarge!</em>)</p>

Per girarlo il canadese James Cameron ha sviluppato nuove tecnologie, compresa una rivolozionaria macchina da presa stereoscopica tridimensionale per ottenere l&#8217;effetto di una profondità di campo simile all&#8217;occhio umano. Ha introdotto un nuovo sistema sofisticato di &#8220;motion capture&#8221; che permette la ripresa della mimica facciale degli attori per trasferirla poi sui soggetti computerizzati, oltre all&#8217;uso di macchine da presa &#8220;virtual camera&#8221; e &#8220;fusion camera&#8221; per consentire una cosidetta &#8220;simil vision&#8221;. Per Cameron, Avatar è un film di avventura ed è la sua risposta a Star wars, il film che lo convinse ad abbandonare il lavoro di camionista per dedicarsi al cinema! &#8212; Link to: <a href="http://www.avatarmovie.com/index.html">Avatar  Official Movie Website</a></p>

<p>ADAT ADT-200A SDR Transceiver is ready!  ADT-200A Vollständig digitaler Transceiver<span id="result_box"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;" title="ready"> bereit!</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Funkamateur, January 2010, have published Part 1 of their review on the ADAT ADT-200 direct-sampling Transceiver, by DJ1TO. The ADT-200 truly raises the bar in overall performance; it is comparable to the rx Perseus (&#8230;.excluding the Perseus instead, allows the external PC!)</p>
<p>La Rivista Funkamateur di Gennaio 2010, ha pubblicato la Parte-1 della Review del ADT-200A un Transceiver a Campionamento Diretto, la recenzione 1 è  curata da DJ1TO.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">See</span> the Some more RTX information and the Links below. Here are <span style="color: #000000;">pictures, Retail price</span> and the EN User Manual download &#8230;..<span id="more-1883"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1531" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="english" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/f_en1.gif" alt="english" width="20" height="20" />ADT-200A is amateur radio transceiver with completely digital signal processing (SDR). The device is equipped with the DSP technology, uses the latest generation of high performance DSP manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (<strong>ADSP</strong>-21262 serie) -  Similar products are available on the market as Software Defined Radios (SDR), but all those use the ressources of a PC  extensively. In contrast, the ADAT transceiver ADT-200A allows stand-alone operation. The ADT-200A has a front end, along with four parallel receivers and can be enhanced with a VHF/UHF module as an option. Eight independent VFO’s provide many split band operations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Adat_TRX3C_Unit.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1891" style="margin-right: 15px;" title="Adat_TRX3C_Unit" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Adat_TRX3C_Unit.jpg" alt="Adat_TRX3C_Unit" width="470" height="314" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The PA is equipped with high voltage MOS-FET’s capable of producing 50W within the range of 1.8MHz to 30MHz. Adaptive predistortion delivers an undistorted transmission signal (IMD3 &#8211; 45dBc two- tone modulation, 50W PEP)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now NO Spectrum Monitoring function available. Will though in a later SW release only. The spectrum can be displayed with the available resolution on the transceiver display. Higher resolution can be achieved by connecting the transceiver via USB port to a Personal Computer. Planned further developments!<br />
Both DSP firmware and Front Panel firmware can be updated via USB. The update procedure is described in the User Manual. Latest DSP Firmware Version 1.33a updated 12.09.2009</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1532" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="italiano" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/f_it1.gif" alt="italiano" width="20" height="20" />La Rivista Funkamateur di Gennaio 2010, ha pubblicato la Parte-1 della Review sul ADT-200A un Transceiver a Campionamento Diretto a cura di DJ1TO. L&#8217;ADT-200, nella sua classe, innalza il punto delle performance generali ed è paragonabile a quelle del SDR Perseus (escludendo quanto Perseus invece consente con il PC esterno!)  ADT-200A è un ricetrasmettitore per radio amatori con l&#8217;elaborazione del segnale completamente in digitale (SDR)<br />
Il Transceiver utilizza appieno anche la tecnologia DSP e ADAT dichiara che monta l&#8217;ultima generazione di DSP ad alte prestazioni prodotta dalla Analog Devices Inc. (<strong>ADSP</strong>-21262 serie)<br />
Apparati simili sono disponibili sul mercato indicati come Software Defined Radio (SDR), ma tutti impiegano ampiamente il software di un PC esterno. Al contrario, il ricetrasmettitore ADAT ADT-200A permette di funzionare in modo stand-alone (modo autonomo senza PC).<br />
L&#8217;ADT-200A ha un front-end con quattro ricevitori paralleli e può essere implementato con moduli VHF/UHF come opzione. Ha ben otto VFO indipendenti che consentono operazioni di multi band split. (&#8230;NB: <em>vedere altri dati e performance sul sito web ufficiale della ADTA Ch</em>)<br />
Lo stadio PA è dotato di MOS-FET ad alto voltaggio ed è in grado di produrre 50W, all&#8217;interno delle bande da 1.8MHz a 30MHz. Anche la parte TX è  tutta su base digitale (SDR), HB9CBU ha impiegato  il sistema  definto &#8220;Adaptive predistortion&#8221; che fornisce poi un segnale di trasmissione finale con distorsione molto bassa (IMD3&#8230;9  -45dBc two-tone modulation, 50W PEP)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No Spectrum analysis? &#8211; Per ora non ha disponibile la funzione di analisi di spettro, che sarà invece disponibile solo con una prossima versione del Software. Lo spettro dovrebbe essere visualizzato con la risoluzione disponibile sul Display del ricetrasmettitore. Invece l&#8217;alta risoluzione potrà  essere ottenuta collegando il ricetrasmettitore tramite la porta USB ad un Personal Computer.  Sono già  annunciati una serie di sviluppi ulteriori!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(*) The traditional 2-Tone measurement procedure is not applicable at AD converters as the IP3 of an AD converter decreases proportional with the input signal. An other fact is, that the intermodulation is considerably lower at real operation with many stochastic signals due to the &#8220;Dithering Effect&#8221; then as with only two tones.<br />
(*) Das 2-Ton IM-Messverfahren ist nur beschränkt anwendbar. Der IP3 des AD-Wandlers nimmt proportional mit dem Eingangssignal ab. Die Intermodulationsprodukte sind im praktischen Betrieb an einer Antenne durch den &#8220;Dithering-Effekt&#8221; deutlich tiefer als bei der reinen 2-Ton-Messung.</p>

Dopo una serie di miglioramenti la versione attuale, WNWA2.5 è diponibile in Kit sul sito SDR Kit (<span style="color: #ff0000;">Nota</span>: la quasi totalità dei componenti è a montaggio supeficiale con spaziature strettissime!). Il Kit è stato curato da G0BBL,  il Circuito stampato professionale da M0DFI.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Scrennshot_VNWA.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1915 alignleft" style="margin-right: 15px;" title="Scrennshot_VNWA" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Scrennshot_VNWA.jpg" alt="Scrennshot_VNWA" width="200" height="141" /></a><strong>Clik</strong> to enlarge the Screenshot:  Misura vettoriale di un Filtro a 5 poli doppi realizzato per impiego come DPX in ATV con fc 1280MHz, insertion loss -0,68dB. La perfezione delle misure e la accuratezza dei dati, mostra i risultati raggiunti dal gruppo nella messa a punto sia del ardware che dei settaggi software. &gt;&gt;Complimenti per l&#8217;impegno e la passione dimostrata.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">VNWA 2.5 Analizzatore Vettoriale. Tra le principali caratteristiche si possono  riassumere: Copertura da 1 MHz a 1.3GHz, dinamica di 90dB, collegamento con Porta USB ad un PC su cui installare il software fornito per l&#8217;analisi di qualsiasi componente RF, come una antenna, una linea, un filtro od altri componenti passivi per ottenerne tutta una serie di parametri. Il software è sviluppato sempre da DG8SAQ ed è supportato attraverso un Gruppo di discussione. Un punto di riferimento e supporto per chi si avventura in questa realizzazione molto interessante, ma adatta a chi già possiede esperienza tecnica.<br />
Da notare il fatto che il VNWA non contiene alcun filtro RF. La selettività di frequenza è ottenuta tramite una parte della scheda audio utilizzata per rilevare il segnale IF. Il ponte per la misura dell’adattamento (S11) è collegato direttamente ad una cella di Gilbert realizzando un rivelatore sincrodina con ingresso bilanciato, gli oscillatori (RF e LO) sono ricavati direttamente da due DDS (AD9859 x 2). Il metodo per ottenere le misure fino ad 1.3GHz con il sovra-campionamento tramite  la potenza di calcolo del computer e dell&#8217;eccellente software di analisi. Infine con questo piccolo, ma ingnegnoso congegno si dispone di moltissime possibilità di uso e misure (quasi professionali) e per esplorarle tutte bisogna trovare le giuste sinergie, così come hanno fatto loro.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I4CVC, Carlo pone in evidenza il pericolo di occupazione da parte di servizi privati delle Bande alte (microonde) assegnate al servizio radioamatori ed invita a &#8220;farsi parte diligente&#8221; ed attivare più beacon possibili in siti utili. A proposito si evidenzia che Carlo, IW2FYT, ha realizzato alcuni stampati per il montaggio e la realizzazione di beacon oltre ad illustrare la tecnica della fotoincisione, per la realizzazione di un’antenna fessurata per la banda dei 24GHz con 17dB di guadagno e circa 90 gradi d’apertura del lobo principale.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1918" style="margin-right: 15px;" title="I4ZAU" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/I4ZAU.jpg" alt="I4ZAU" width="150" height="110" />Vico, I4ZAU apre i lavori con la presentazione degli inscritti a parlare (come da special database scritto su una grande lavagna!!). Quindi riprende la parola per magnificare quanto ha prodotto in software Franco Perugini, descrive la parte ardware del ricevitore SDR nato con<br />
la forte volontà del gruppo CRBR con risultati eccellenti. Molto del lavoro svolto, Franco lo ha pubblicato su RKE dove è possibile &#8220;raccogliere&#8221; i particolari. Lo stesso Dottor Franco Perugini, infine, dichiara che il prossimo lavoro è di aggiungere il registratore digitale al programma per l&#8217;SDR receiver in uso al CRBR (Centro Radioastronomico Bagnara di Romagna)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1920" style="margin-right: 15px;" title="I0FTG" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/I0FTG.jpg" alt="I0FTG" width="150" height="113" />Su invito di Carlo e Vico I0FTG, Pippo ha portato al congressino la sua ultima realizzazione: un VNWA di Tom, DG8SAQ, un acronimo per indicare un Analizzatore di Reti Vettoriale (VNA), ha poi realizzato &#8220;dal vivo&#8221; alcune misure di riferimento note agli autocostruttori.

<p style="text-align: justify;">FTdx-5000 Has the <strong>FCC</strong> Certificate, <strong>ID</strong>: K6620361X60, receved December 10, 2009!<br />
That Was Fast&#8230;.. will be bringing out very soon!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1531" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="english" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/f_en1.gif" alt="english" width="20" height="20" />The Main RX (VFO A) is a two-stage down-conversion design 9 MHz first IF and 30kHz second IF . &#8211; <span id="result_box"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;" title="Yaesu ingegneri adottano la">Yaesu engineers take the </span></span>down-conversion architecture with narrow ham-band filtering for superior close-in dynamic range. &#8211; (Like K3 Elecraft and Orion II Ten-Tec, see the [Note] below!)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The sub RX (VFO B) is not the same! It is a three stage Up-conversion design. The 40.455MHz first IF stage feature 3 roofing filter 15, 6, 3kHz. Each roofinf is a four-pole, monolithic crystal filter (like FT-2000, FT-950). This Sub RX uses a new subdisplay with two EL (Eltro Luminesense) to indicate Sub frequency, graphical wave and menu functions. One EL functions is dedicated at the Main RX.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[<strong>Note</strong>] Like Orion II IFs: Main Receiver IF1=9 MHz, IF2=455 kHz, IF3=14 kHz (IMD3 101 dB IP3 +24 dBm @ 5kHz) &#8211; The Sub Receiver is not the same! IF1=45 MHz, IF2=455 kHz, IF3=14 kHz (+5 dBm @ 20kHz.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">See</span> the Some more RX information and the Links below. Here are some more <span style="color: #000000;">pictures</span> and the EN User Manual (Part 1/Part 2) in PDF&#8230;.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The FTDX-5000 Some more RX information and Links below..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">!!!</span> Main Receiver IMD3: I think the improvements on the front controlls features and changing the receiver from an up conversion design to a down conversion design would push the rig over the Flagship FTdx-9000 in performance!!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">!!!</span> Image Rejection: Not specified! &#8211; The FTdx-5000 could perhaps use the innovative 2nd IF <strong>I/Q </strong>image rejection mixer (See Q2053 RF2713 and Q2060 UPC4572G2), for the first time introduced by the small Yaesu <strong>FT-450</strong> transceiver??&#8230;..  We expect everyone to find out!</p>

The New IF DSP features are powered by two 32-bit processors from Texas Instruments (TMS320C6727B) both running at 300 MHz. Each VFO A/B has its own DSP processor &#8211; Built-in Auto tuner &#8211; The Transceiver can be extended with optional DMU-2000 and Hi-Q µ-Tuning filters &#8211; The four position antenna selection &#8211; Built-in 240 VAC power supply &#8211; The FTDX5000 uses newly designed, extra sharp roofing filters for the Main receiver (VFO A only) and they are selectable between 300 Hz (optional on some versions), 600 Hz, 3 kHz, 6 kHz and 15 kHz. &#8211; The sub RX is not the same! It is a three stage up-conversion design.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1532" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="italiano" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/f_it1.gif" alt="italiano" width="20" height="20" />In questo Transceiver, la Yaesu esce, all&#8217;improvviso, dai circuiti sviluppati con gli apparati FTdx-9000, 2000 e 950,  realizzando un nuovo progetto che prevede due ricevitori (Main A e Sub B) molto diversi tra loro anche come performance.<br />
Infatti, il ricevotore principale (RX VFO A) impiega solo due stadi IF, però a down-conversione, la prima IF a 9 MHz e la seconda a 30kHz. &#8211; Gli Ingegneri Yaesu scelgono, quindi, l&#8217;architettura in down-conversione con un filtraggio a banda stretta sulle bande per radioamatori, al fine di ottenere una superiore gamma dinamica con forti segnali interferenti vicini &#8211; (Come già realizzato da Elecraft  sul K3 e ancor più simile a  Orion II progettato da tempo dalla Ten-Tec, si veda la [<strong>Nota</strong>] qui sotto!)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">L&#8217;RX Secondario (VFO B) del 5000 ha una struttura diversa dal principale!  Impiega tre stadi IF  in Up-conversione. La prima IF a 40.455MHz utilizza per la protezione della catena IF n. 3 Roofing filter da 15, 6 e 3 kHz. I tre Roofing sono a quattro poli a cristalli  monolitici (come su FT-2000 e FT-950). Questo Sub-ricevitore utilizza, invece, per i controlli,  un nuovo sub-display con due indicatori EL (Eltro Luminesense) per indicare la frequenza Sub, la forma grafica e lefunzioni del menu. Un terzo indicatore sempre tipo EL e le sue funzioni, viene dedicato all&#8217;RX principale.<br />
[<strong>Nota</strong>] Come principio la struttura appare molto simile all&#8217;Orion II, che però ha tre IF con questi Valori di IF: Main Receiver IF1=9 MHz, IF2=455 kHz, IF3=14 kHz (con IMD3 101 dB e un IP3 +24 dBm @ 5kHz di spaziatura) &#8211; Il Sub ricevitore, è anche qui completamente diverso!  ha una Up-conversione con IF1=45 MHz, IF2=455 kHz, IF3=14 kHz (e presenta valori inferiori con solo un +5 dBm @ 20kHz).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">!!!</span> Main Receiver IMD3: Si pensa che i miglioramenti ai controlli frontali e il cambio del progetto del Main ricevitore da una Up a una Down-conversione  e Filtri a quarzo a 6 poli con BW molto stretta, porta il nuovo FTdx-5000 ad essere molto superiore in performance rispetto al principale apparato della casa FTdx-9000 (Porta-bandiera!) pur in presenza, nel 5000, di due diversi ricevitori (da verificare!! le performance)<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">!!!</span> Image Rejection: Non specificata &#8211; L&#8217;FTdx-5000 avendo solo due stadi IF, potrebbe forse usare l&#8217;innovativo circuito del Mixer di 2nd IF con segnali I/Q per una alta rejezione di immagine, (<strong>Vedasi</strong> Q2053 RF2713 and Q2060 UPC4572G2 sul circuito FT-450) ??</p>
<p>Il circuito Yaesu risulta complesso: duplicatore del segnale di 1st IF  (67.899 X 2 = 135.798 MHz  che Mixato con un LO a 135.750 MHz  produce 2 segnali out I/Q a  IF 24+24  kHz che verranno poi elaborati verso il DSP.  Questo sistema è stato già impiegato per la prima volta sul piccolo  Yaesu Mod.  FT-450??&#8230; Dobbiamo attendere tutti per scoprire se la Rejezione di immagine sarà risolta così o diversamente!<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">!!!</span> DB9 per una Porta Seriale RS-232 invece che una Porta USB. Questo è sorprendente, perchè utilizzare ancora una RS-232 quando oramai gli apparati e i PC impiegano le porte USB-2. (Se non c&#8217;è una USB per i PC moderni è necessario l&#8217;uso di un USB adapter!)</p>

It can be looped between RX OUT and RX IN of the HF Trancseiver, or SDR Receiver.  &#8211; A large toroid core T-200-7 is used, the large core offers a non-loaded Q (efficiency) value. A five bands tuneable Band-Pass Filter bank make up the core of the tiny SCR Preselector, and five telecom grade relays for band switching are connected to its corresponding section of the coil through the Band Selector control on the program software</p>

[Note-1] The outboard tiny SCR Preselector is single-pole, is similar to Icom DIGISEL Preselector or Yaesu VRF Preselector, and have a -6 dB BW of 500 kHz at a centre frequency. These types of preselector (single-pole) provide outstanding protection against OUT-OF-BAND interference, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">with a bandwidth much narrowe than the standard RF BPF UNIT &#8220;fixed bandpass filter networh</span>&#8221; &#8211; <span style="color: #ff0000;">Adding</span> the single-pole preselector can be particulary useful if your station is located near a broadcast station, or if you use Dual Receive a lot in a &#8220;multi-trasmitter environment&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[Note-2] Tuned 4-pole preselectors type, typically with motorised air-variable capacitors and air-wound inductors to avoid saturation IMD, have been used in RN shipboard HF installations for yonks, long before the advent of DSP! &#8211; See the image HARRIS RF-551A<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>FTdx-5000</strong> Series &#8211; The new Yaesu HF/50 MHz 200W  Transceiver: FTdx-5000MP, FTdx-5000D, FTdx-5000 and the SM-5000 Station Monitor.<br />
The Yaesu FT DX 5000 Series will be formally introduced by Yaesu very soon. Pricing and availability is currently unknown (www.radiocronache&#8230;23.11.2009)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">!!! </span>FTdx-5000 by Yaesu Broshure: 14 MHz band 2kHz offset 105 dB 3rd-IMD, IP3 +36 dBm, way better than the Elecraft K3 @ 102 dB IP3 +26 dBm!</p>
<p>The FTdx-5000 (<em>Main Receiver only</em>) includes a rather <span style="text-decoration: underline;">traditional</span> 1st IF 9 MHz (Elecraft K3 1st IF 8,215 MHz) and provides for selectable roofing filters (6-pole crystal) at the first IF to limit the off-frequency signals getting into the receiver.<br />
Note that the roofing filter’s job is only to protect the rest of the receiver, and that the operating bandwidth filtering is performed by the IF DSP (like Elecraft K3 Transceiver).</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">See</span> the following pictures and Manufacturer&#8217;s Specifications&#8230;..</p>
