ieee DKODUC TION 


Organizations such as hospitals, hotels, and governmental 
offices require large numbers of internal telephone exten- 
ffens, Existing systems require installed wire pairs dedicated 
memeach extension. Initial installation costs are high and 
changes in extension locations must be made by telephone 
company technicians. In addition, users such as hospitals 
and hotels normally have coaxial cables for television in- 
Stalled which have a surplus of bandwidth when used only for 
entertainment television. 

The system proposed would allow the installation of a 
multiplex telephone network that is compatible with cable TV. 
Considerable savings can be realized in the short term by 
Miemreduction of wiring costs in new ee and in the 
long term by the capability to add additional extensions 
Peehowteadaing additional cables. Over the life of the 
System more savings would occur because of the portability 
of the telephone sets. Relocation of an individual subscriber's 
telephone set would eae ee emily the connection ot a CoOaxtal 
plug. The subscriber would retain his number and hence not 
Beata ne Switchboard Or directory changes. In addition, a 
relocation would be made by the user without telephone 


company assistance. 





Developments in multiplex telephone and cable TV are in- 
cluded in the following pages. Recent developments in cable 
Systems were particularly important in the design and 
feasibility considerations for this system. 

Solid state and integrated circuit technologies were 
utilized in designing the system. Existing integrated cir- 
cuits were used when they permitted more economical circuits 
than were possible with discrete components. Unfortunately 
several initially promising components such as phase locked 


loops could not be used because of bandwidth limitations. 


II. MULTIPLEX TELEPHONY IN THE UNITED STATES 


ive hastory of multiplex telephony is in effect the 
development of this communications method by the American 
Telephone and Telegraph Company. The Bell System, as it is 
more commonly referred to, dominates the one industry 
and has a great influence in international telephony pro- 
gress’ and policy. pete ene of the development of ieee mee 
plex Mente ony by the Bell System is therefore typical of 
international progress and is virtually a complete chronicle 
of American progress. 

The principle of multiplexed, wire carried communica- 


tions predates, and was instrumental in, the development 


of the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell's initial research 





feendirectecd toward the perfection of a "harmonic telegraph". 
His concept was that of mechanically producing audio freq- 
Wency vibrations and then transmitting several of these 
frequencies over a common transmission line. (Ref. 1) A 
more efficient telegraph network could then be had. At the 
receiving station another mechanical device, usually a tuned 
metal reed, would vibrate when the appropriate harmonic was 
received. Quite by accident during his harmonic telegraph 
research Bell and his assistant, Thomas A. Watson, discov- 
ered that not only could invariant frequencies be trans- 
mitted and detected, but also the modulations of the human 
voice. Bell soon abandoned his primitive frequency multi- 
plexing research for work on the equally primitive voice 
communications system. As a result of his work he received 
his historic patent, number 174,465, in 1896 for 'tAn Improve- 
ment in Telegraphy," i.e. the telephone. 

The combination of frequency multiplexing from the 
harmonic telegraph and voice modulation from the telephone 
had to wait until the telephone was further perfected and the 
demand for circuits was high enough to justify the complex- 
ities of multiplex telephony. 

The telephone was limited to local intracity use when 
first developed due to the lack of a suitable wire for inter- 
Seay eeOumnectlone. (ket.2) Wath the application of hard 


drawn copper wire to open wire construction by Thomas B. 





Doolittle ‘long distance"! connections became possible. In 
1884 a line was strung between Boston and New oe Further 
@eeeress In an intercity telephone network awaited the in- 
vention of the electronic vacuum tube by Lee DeForest. 
eee. PD. Arnold proposed in 1915 that the vacuum tube be 
used to create practically perfect telephone transmission 
over long distances. 

In 1892 John Stone in the United States and Pupin, 
Hutin, and LeBlanc in Europe devised schemes for telephone 
multiplexing. Spark gap generators were used to produce the 
@eerier frequency. Signal amplification was at that time 
impossible. Experiments by Major G. O. Squier, head of 
the United States Army Corps at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, 
with multiplex transmission over a short cable in 1910 
further laid the foundation for future practical systems. 
(Ref.3) It might be noted that the term rae implies 
frequency multiplex, versus time multiplex. Until the 
development of solid state electronics the promise of time 
division multiplex was out of practical reach for telephony. 
Time division multiplexed telegraphy could be accomplished 
through the use of mechanical commutators however. 

In 1918 the Bell System installed a carrier current 
telephone circuit using open wire construction between Pitts- 
burg and Baltimore.(Ref.4) It provided four taiking channels 


for each wire pair and was designated the A system. This 


10 





Meeweto be the first of a Jong series of alphabetically 
designated intercity systems. In this system a connection 


was duplexed with both directions of transmission on the 


same frequency. Hybrid coils were used to separate the send 
and receive signals. The hybrid coil system gradually fell 
into disfavor because of maintenance difficulties. By 


1923 the Bell System boasted of a carrier system "That if 
feedeend to end would stretch half way around the globe." 
To be exact they had a 29 channel capability over 3,941 
miles or a total of 14,676 channel miles. The longest 
link was from Harrisburg to Chicago, a distance of 742 miles. 
In 1920 the three channel Type B system was introduced. 
It used separate frequencies for send and receive and 
thereby did away with the troublesome hybrid coils. As with 
the type A system amplitude modulation was utilized. By 
1923 the advantages of multiple wire cables over open wire 
lines had been recognized and installation of aerial cables 
was under way. In addition to telephone circuits these 
Systems also carried telegraph circuits. A typical network 
installed between Denver and Los Angeles in 1924 had three 
telephone and 14 telegraph circuits operating on four wires. 
In the type A system single sideband (SSB), supressed carrier 
was used, but the type B system was SSB, with carrier. 
Paralleling the development of the multiplexing systems 


were improvements in the transmission medium. The advantages 


as 





precable use were recognized, but the state of the art in 
cable construction did not yet give cables an unqualified 
advantage over the older open wire scheme. Cable trans- 
mission became the dominant mode when circuit requirements 
became too large for practical open wire construction and 
when telephone repeaters were perfected that could compen- 
sate for the cables' large losses. The Bell System then 
gradually changed from an exclusively open wire network to 
a mixed medium network when first multiwire cables, then 
coaxial cables, and finally microwave links were added. 

Mie first long distance toll cable in the United States 
was placed in service between New York and Philadelphia in 
1906. The cable installed between Chicago and New York in 
1918 was typical of those in use and contained 300 circuits 
toma 2 5/8" diameter lead sheathing. (Ref. 5) 

Further research led to the introduction of the type C 
System in 1925. It was a three channel system that used 
Euugle sideband, suppressed carrier transmission. In this 
improved system equal spacing of channel frequencies had 
been abandoned in favor of variable spacing. This technique 
increased the efficiency of bandwidth usage. As with the 
type B system different frequencies were used for trans- 
mitting the send and receive components of each circuit. 


Frequencies no higher than 30 KHz were used because of 


12 





open wire construction predominance in the existing Bell 
System network and the limited bandwidth it Penn rocmqr ene) 

The next system developed was the type D which pro- 
wagiedea Single channel carrier circuit for short haul use. 
It again was a single sideband, suppressed carrier, ampli- 
tude modulated scheme.(Ref.7) 

Multiple channel systems previously discussed were all 
femeetoll (long haul) circuits. By 1933 the Bell System 
could see the need for multiplex systems that could increase 
the capacity of shorter trunks. However the depression 
Bamleowed only research on and not installation of such 
systems.(Ref .8) 

The need for broadband communications capabilities aiso 
began to be apparent in the 1930's. An electronic curiosity, 
the television, was one system that would require broader 
bandwidths than were currently available. Therefore COaxta! 
cables, whose characteristics were predicted by electro- 
magnetic theory, came under scrutiny. In 1934 the Bell 
System was constructing and testing various types of coaxial 
cable with an eye toward improving toll circuit capabilities 
as well as opening up a new communications medium. (Ref .9) 
The first coaxial cable system was installed between New 
York and Philadelphia in 1935. It was 95 miles long, had 
repeaters every 10 miles, and had a bandwidth of 1 MHZ. 


It could carry 240 simultaneous two way conversations. 


12 





These channels were collected in 12 channel "groups." 
Conversion to subcarrier frequencies was done in two stages 
of modulation. 

The type K systen, introduced in 1937, used the group 
modulation principle with transmission over a multiple wire 
cable.(Ref.10) Other important features of the system were 
repeaters at 17 mile intervals and 4 KHz channel spacing. 

It was predicted at the time that the end of open wire toll 
construction was in sight and that the economies of the 

new system would make short haul multiplexing a strong 
Mecsitbality. 

In 1938 the first long distance transmission of tele- 
vision over a coaxial cable had been carried out on the 
Philadelphia to New York, 1 MHz cable.(Ref.11) The results 
were not satisfactory for commercial use, but they pointed 
the way toward wider bandwidth coaxial cable and the simul- 
taneous multiplexing of television and telephone on the same 
cable. Three additional carrier systems were introduced 
in the late 1930's. The type H system was developed as 
an improvement on the existing type D system.(Ref.12) One 
of its features was the capability to include repeaters for 
improved performance. The 12 channel type J system included 
many features of the type K, but was intended for open wire 
installations. As such it was used to supplement the exist- 


ing type C system. The type M system used high voltage lines 


14 





as its transmission medium and found only limited use. 
Peyetical toll coaxial cable transmission was introduced by 
m@meetype Ll system.(Ref.13) It had the capability of carry- 
mem 430 long haul channels. In addition 120 short haul 
channels could be utilized if necessary. The cable's band- 
width was 2 MHz. 

With the type Nl system the Bell System improved multi- 
oe cable capacities in 1950.(Ref.14) It was designed to 
carry as many as 1800 channels on a 300 pair cable from 15 
to 20 miles. Increased distances could be achieved if 
necessary. A new technique used was compression and expan- 
Sion of speech volume which permitted reductions in crosstalk 
and noise. Out of band signaling was added to give an 
associated signal channel just above each voice channel. As 
with other large capacity systems the 12 channel grouping 
Scheme was used. 

As a result of extensive research in microwave devices 
the Bell System was able to open the TD2 microwave multiplex 
system in 1950. Frequency modulation was used in the TD2 
to provide 6000 low noise channels. A prime reason for the 
microwave system's installation was the desire to establish 
a nationwide television transmission network. The system 
supplemented the existing telephone cables which were unable 
to meet an unprecedented postwar demand for circuits. 


Creating the microwave network was a major undertaking by 


Des, 





any standard. Not only did new types of terminal equipment 
have to be developed, but a nationwide net of transmission 
stations and repeaters with their associated equipments had 
to be both designed and manufactured. The requirement for 
even more circuits in later years resulted in the later de- 
velopment of the TD3, TH, TJ, TL, and TH3 systems. 

As a further step to improve the utilization of exist- 
ing open wire installations, the type O system was put in 
commercial service in 1952. It was intended for circuits 
ranging from 15 to 150 miles long and was the open wire 
Counterpart of the type N cable system.(Ref.16) This new 
system used the Signaling and noise reduction schemes intro- 
duced in the type N, but used single sideband instead of 
the N's simpler double sideband method. Full capacity of 
the type O was 16 channels, arranged in groups of four. 

The L3 coaxial system was placed in operation in 1953. 
It had a capacity .of 1860 telephone channels or in a second 
version 600 channels. The L3 was designed as an improvement 
on the Ll and as such had as a prime design consideration 
the reuse of Ll facilities, equipment, and cables.(Ref.17) 
The L3's parameters were bawed on long haul usage of 4000 
miles. 

Solid state devices came into use in the type Pl. De- 
Signed in 1956 for rural use it provided up to four stackable 


channels for either open wire or cable installations. As 


16 





with other wire carrier systems amplitude modulation was 
used for simplicity.(Ref.18) Rural usage was also envisioned 
for the type Tl system in 1962.(Ref.19) Because of further 
improvements in solid state devices and coding procedures 
memes able to utilize time division multiplexing in con- 
Beet aon with pulse code modulation (PCM) and had a capacity 
of 24 channels. In a move to standardize interfaces the 
Bell System catagorized their multiplex terminals as "L 
Systems.'"*(Ref.20) The L multiplex terminals were then 
subdivided into systems of different capacities and capa- 
bilities. These terminals were designed to operate with the 
Mil Ss, and L4 coaxial cable lines and with the TD2, TD3, 
TH, TJ, and TL microwave links. Single sideband with 4KHz 
Channel widths was used. Continued improvement of older 
systems resulted in the combination of the type O terminals 
with the Nl carrier lines to produce the ON1].(Ref.21) 
Further improvements upped the ONl's 16 channel capacity 
to 24 channels in the ON2. A solid state, 12 channel, 
double sideband, amplitude modulation scheme was used in 
the advanced N2 system. Again the upgrading process came 
into play and the N3 with 24 channels was produced, but with 
Single sideband vice double. 

The latest systems in use with the Bell System are the 
TH3 microwave system (Ref.22), the L4 coaxial cable system 


(Ref.23), and the Tl time multiplex system. The first two 


7 





are for use between switching centers, while the third is 
used to increase capabilities in rural and other low density 
areas. None of these systems are suitable for use within 

a large suscriber's organization, such as a hotel or office 
building. Nor are plans to introduce systems for such use 
in the near future apparent. Research is being carried out 
in new methods of transmission such as laser beams and milli- 
meter waveguides. The future will probably mirror the past. 
There will be periodic changes in transmission media as 
technology permits, followed by continued updating of equip- 
ment. Each new system will share some of the equipment of 
older systems and the basic channel parameters will remain 
unchanged. A trend toward systems with shorter economical 
ranges seems inevitable because of the continued increase in 


demand for telephone circuits and broadband data links.

fei DiESiGN CONSIDERATIONS AND SPECIFLCATIONS 


a en oes 


fee DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS 

In order to achieve economies over existing telephone 
systems the proposed system must meet two basic requirements: 
it must be compatible with standard PBX switchboards and it 
must be capable of sharing coaxial cables with cable TV 
systems. The compatibility with existing telephone equip- 
ment and transmission parameters allows installation of 
this system with a minimum of interface problems. There is 
no requirement for additional equipment to match this system 
to standard telephone company equipment. A bonus derived 
from Rpeiowompatibility ti hesomAet CAlity OL anetall ing

might be made suitable for occupancy by tenants who require

was not economically feasible this multiplex system would

constructed hotels, motels, and hospitals. New cable TV

BmcOrporation of a two-way communications capability. Since 
mie resultant installation of coaxial cables is becoming so 
Meevalent, any additional capability that can be given them 
mic reduces other ieee requirements results in an immedi- 
ate savings. Studies have shown that to avoid the possibility 
of mutual interference additional communications signals 
should be well below the lowest standard TV broadcast band 
fememme! 2 at 54 MHz). An upper limit of 30 MHz on addition- 
al signals is generally considered sufficient(Ref.24) . 

ireaddition to the limiting design considerations above, 
other features were deemed worthy of inclusion. In antici- 
pation of future nationwide use of tone generation dialing, 
the system was designed to use this method signaling. 
With modifications the older make and break dialing method 
could be used. A parts' cost of $35 per extension was set. 
as a goal. The cost of the system manufactured in quantity 
would be about three times that figure. The individual 
telephone set, which would contain a conventional handset 
enaedial tone generator, in addition to the multiplexing 
Seircuatry, would have to be ES portable in Set erreak 
manufactured form. The power for each extension would come 
from a central supply. The extension would therefore not 
have to be located near a conventional AC outlet. 

To free the system from high ringing voltages, ringing 


as accomplished with an amplified audio tone. Individual 


20 





extensions could be given unique ring tones. Such a feature 
is convenient in crowded offices which contain several 
extensions. Send and receive bands would be frequency 
Meparated to reduce crosstalk and to avoid the complexity 
mieedirectional signal separation circuits. FM was chosen 
over AM in order to take advantage of the noise rejection 
meatures of the former. Standard 10.7 MHz IF was used, 
allowing use of available integrated circuits and filters. 
To as great a degree as possible circuits such as 
oscillators were designed to be suitable for use in several 
components of the system. This minimizes the number of 
unique circuits in the system and increases standardization. 
Mem transmitter/receiver unit is suitable for use over 
the entire 5-30 MHz system frequency range with a minimum 
@eechanges. Shifting a unit from one band to another re- 
aurres Only substitutions or tuning of tuned circuits. In 
the system's final manufactured form that might be accom- 


plished by small plugin modules. 


B. FREQUENCY ALLOCATION 

The cornerstone of any frequency division multiplex 
System is the frequency allocation plan. Design considera- 
tions and tradeoffs hinge on the available frequency spec- 
trum and the number of channels desired. As previously 


mentioned this system is limited to a band of about 25 MHz 


eu 





between 5 MHz and 30 MHz. Since the system is intended for 
use with conventional telephone networks, the standard 4 
KHz audio channel was adopted. Figure 1 illustrates the 
audio channel, the voice bandpass within that channel, and 
the 20 Hz out-of-band ring frequency. It might be noted 
that additional out-of-band signaling 1s possible in the 
Meeer section of the channel between the voice bandpass and 
@m@erchannel boundry. Figure 2 contains a diagram of a 
pushbutton dialing keyboard that would be suitable for use 
with the proposed system. In this case the dial Signal is 
in-band and each digit or character has a pair of correspond- 
ing frequencies, one from the low-band and one from the 
high-band. Although only 12 buttons are presently used in 
commercial installations, 16 buttons are possible if the 
Spare frequency combinations are used. 

Because a key component of the proposed system is an 
iipegrated circuit originally intended for use in FM broad- 
cast receivers, the standard maximum frequency deviation of 
* 75 KHz about the carrier is used. Asa precaution against 
adjacent channel interference £ 100 KHz is allowed for each 
Sideband. The proposed system therefore requires 200 KHz 
for each one-way channel and hence 400 KHz for each ex- 
tension, as.shown in Figure 1. 

Of the original 25 MHz available a portion around the 


10.7 MHz intermediate frequency (IF) of the receiver circuit 


ee 





is unusable. The remaining spectrum has been broken up 

mato 6O channels in Table 1. Channels 1 thru 12 are below 
Seemeedegap and 13 °thru 60 above. The lower l2 channels are 
less desirable for use than the 48 upper channels. Because 
mlecarriers are on odd hundreds of kilohertz, second 
harmonic interference 1S avoided. However third harmonic 
interference between the upper and lower channels is possible. 
Therefore if an installation required 48 or fewer extenSions, 
the lower group would be left vacant. If an installation 
Called for more than 60 extensions two or more coaxial 

Cable trunks would be necesSary. For instance if a building 
required from 30 to 60 extensions per floor a trunk could 

be run to Sen floor. The desired flexibility in extension 
relocation would be somewhat limited in such an installation. 
An extension could not be relocated from a plug supplied by 
one trunk to a plug supplied by another trunk without a cross- 
patch being made at the PBX switchboard. 

In installations which do not require the simultaneous 
transmission of both telephone circuits and broadcast tele- 
vision, the systems spectrum could be extended above 30 MHz, 
Waking additional channels available. Limiting factors on 
Enesnumber of channels that might be added could be the 
eepapilaty Of the coaxial cables to carry the total DC power 
requirements for the extension multiplex units and the 


possible occurrence of harmonic interference problems.

Pee NeRAL ASPECTS OF SYSTEM OPERATION 

The multiplex system's configuration is illustrated in 
Figure 3. Each extension multiplex unit (EMU) is an FM 
mmemsceiver. The PBX multiplex unit (PMU) contains trans- 
ceivers that closely resemble the extension units, but with 
additional features. Figure 4 breaks these units down 
into functional blocks. The system has two general oper- 
ating modes that correspond to the two operating modes of 
conventional telephones. These are the hook-on and hook-off 
states and they refer to the status of the Bevo nne hand- 
Peet the handset 1S in its cradle the extension is in 
the hook-on state and conversely if the handset has been 
removed from its cradle to send or receive a call the hook- 
off state exists. | 

The most common state for an extension is the hook-on. 
ii this case the extension is idle and is ready to receive a 
call. The PMU's individual transmitter and receiver sets 
are energized. The transmitters are sending out unmodulated 
carrier Signals to which the corresponding EMU receivers are 
fumed. the-.ring detector is also energized. The PMU audio 
somal switch is open, preventing 20 Hz ring signals from 


the PBX from reaching the PMU transmitter. At the EMU 


25 





mpeeieeceiver 1S active, but not the transmitter which is 
turned off to conserve power and to reduce the number of 
active frequency bands. 

If a call is received by the PBX for an extension the 
PBX selects the proper connection for the corresponding PMU 
set. The PBX would detect that a hook-on state existed using 
a DC resistance detector and would commence standard 20Hz 
rings. The ring detector would detect the rings and acti- 
vate the ring tone generator. These ring tones would modulate 
the PMU transmitter. At the EMU the carrier would be de- 
modulated and the audio ring tones amplified. The subscriber 
would then hear the extension'sSunique ring tone coming from 
the small ring tone speaker just as he would hear the bell 
in a conventional extension. When the call is answered by 
picking up the handset the extension's state would be changed 
to hook-off. The ring tone speaker would be disconnected 
sma the handset connected to the EMU's circuits. In addition 
the EMU transmitter would be energized. The EMU trans- 
Mitter's carrier would go over the coaxial cable to the PMU. 
The PMU receiver would sense the presence of the carrier and 
activate the audio signal switch which would in turn connect 
ume PMU receiver to the PBX. The ring detector would be 
Hert som because only 20Hz ring signals are of sufficient 
magnitude to be detected by the ring detector so there is no 


possibility of speech signals keying the ring tone generator. 


26 





The PMU would now present the standard 600 ohm hook-off re- 
sistance to the PBX. The system would now be ready to 
Garry a two way conversation over the activated extension. 

If the system is in the hook-on state and a subscriber 
desires to make a call an abreviation of the previous se- 
@@enee takes place. When the handset is removed from its 
cradle the ring tone speaker is disconnected and the handset, 
transmitter, and audio signal tone generator are placed in 
operation. The subscriber can then dial the desired number 
by keying the audio signal tone generator. The Signal tones 
are within the bandpass of the telephone and are transmitted 
in the same manner as speech. Switching processes are 
carried out at the telephone company's switchboard. Busy 
and out of order signals from the PBX would also be handled 
in-the same manner as speech. At the PMU the extension's 
carrier would be detected and the audio signal een would 
oe aetivated aS before. 

When the system is in a hook-off state the system is 
in the operating setup as described in the above paragraph. 
Both sets of receivers and transmitters are energized and 
the PMU presents the proper 600 ohm resistance to the PBX. 
Micering detector is activated but is not subject to signals 


that would cause it to key the ring tone generator.

Figure 5 presents the schematic diagram of the PMU 
transmitter and Figure 6 tabulates the values of the compo- 
ments. 

Mimew transmitter is linked to the PBX at the terminals 
labeled '*FROM PBX.'! When the extension is in the hook-on 
Mede, 1.e., the extension is not in use, relay/switch X1 
is open. A ring signal would be transmitted to the ring 
detector circuit by the transformer T2. The full-wave 
Geewer ler consisting of diodes: D5, D6, D7, and D8, dropping 
resistor R11 and smoothing font C10, would convert 
meen 2O0HZ2 ring signal to the JOVDC supply voltage for the 
mae, tone generator. Since ring signals from the PBX are 
methe order of 9OV, ordinary audio conversation signals 
which are in the order of 2V are too small a activate the 
ring tone generator. 

The ring tone generator is a phase-shift oscillator 
which generates an audio tone. C14 provides the feedback 
necessary for oscillation and a portion of the required 
phase-shift. Cll and Cie conpiere the required phase-shift. 
By varying the values of Cll and Cl2 the frequency of the 
Seeitlator can be changed. In this manner each extension 


Gammoe Given a uUhique ring tone. Q5 is included as an 


Zo 





emitter-follower to prevent the loading down of the oscilla- 
tor. C15 couples the ring tone generator to the transmitter 
emer blocks DC. 

If the extension 1s in the hook-up mode the EMU 
transmitter is activated and sends a carrier signal to the 
PMU receiver. The presence of this carrier is indicated 
by an increase of the voltage at the "*METER'® terminal of the 
PMU receiver and the corresponding terminal of the PMU trans- 
mitter. For typical operating conditions the voltage would 
m@emerom LVDC to 2+VDC. D2 and D3 bias Ql so that a voltage 
mammepoeut |. .,SVDC will turn Ql on, this would in turn activate 
mm@geciose Xl. Dl and Cl allow the circulation of currents 
through X1] and prevent voltage spikes that could damage Q]l 
Or cause Xl to chatter. Rl serves tc seize the switchboard 
for outgoing calls by presenting the proper DC resistance of 
600 ohms to the PBX busy detector. C2 prevents DC from 
reaching Tl which, couples the balanced PBX euiane to the 
unbalanced circuits of the PMU. R2 may be varied to diminish 
the audio level from the PBX to prevent over deviation of 
Bie Carrier. 

The transmitter uses a varactor diode, D4, to FM the 
basic RF carrier generated by Q2 and 93. C6 and Ll set the 
basic carrier frequency. For channelization of a production 
System these tuning components might be included in a plug- 


in module that would be factory tuned for an indicated 


29 





@eemnet. C4 jlinks the varactor with the tuned circuit so 
Mimisicnals across D4 vary the total capacitive reactance of 
the tuned circuit and hence the frequency of the carrier. 
ities basic clrcuit 1s used in both the EMU and PMU transmitters. 
imricditaon a modification of the circuit is used in the EMU 
and PMU receivers in their local oscillators. This dual use 
of the circuit would result in more economical production 
of the proposed system. R10 serves to increase the output 
mpedance Of the circuit. High output impedances for each 
transmitter are necessary because all channels are connected 
in parallel at the junction boxes. Low individual output 
impedances would result in mismatching the coaxial lines. 

In an installed system the DC power supply would 
also be connected across the RF terminals at the junction box. 
Deevoltage from this source would be carried to the EMU's 
on the same coaxial cable as the RF Signals. Design of a 
Suitable power supply was not included in the system as pre- 
sented. In practice a 12VDC supply would be used. The voltage 
at each unit: would then be within the design limits of the 
System, and in addition some leeway would be present to 
compensate for any loading down of the power supply if it 
etammot act as a perfect voltage source. A 12 volt supply 
would also allow a convenient interface with an emergency 


battery power supply.

e Receiver Operation 


Figure 7 presents the schematic diagram of the PMU 
receiver and Figure 8 tabulates the values of the components. 
Figure 9 is a block diagram of the CA-3089 and Figure 10 is 
Mmmemsoehematic trom Ref. 25. Figures ll, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 
iaeontain performance charts on the IC from the same source. 
Reference 26 also contains information on the application of 
the CA-3089. 

The FM signal from the EMU is received at the termi- 
nals labeled "'RF'* and is amplified by Q4. R18 and R19 set 
mem bias for 04 and C14 blocks the DC carried by the coaxial 
Beetle, L3 and Cl2 form a tuned circuit that allows selective 
emplitfication of the individual channel's carrier. Q3 and 
Q2 and their associated components act as the receiver's 
mixer. Taking the amplified RF at the base of Q3 and the 
local oscillator signal at the base of Q2, the mixer produces 
the sum and difference frequencies. In the proposed system 
the local oscillator (LO) operates at a higher frequency than 
the channel carrier's and the difference frequency of 10.7 
Mz ts taken off the collector of 03 as the IF. R13 and R14 
batas QO2 and R12 and R15 ae Q3 to produce the desired non- 
linear operation of the mixer. 

Q6,°Q7, and their associated components constitute 
the 1O. The basic oscillator circuit is the same as used in 


thiesmultiplex unit transmitters. In this case instead of 


Bil 





modulating the output of the oscillator to carry audio 
Signals, the output frequency can be varied to compensate 
for drift in the received carrier. The line labeled "AFC" 
from the CA-3089 acts as a current source to drive the LO's 
m@eecircuit. Figure 15 is a graph of IF drift versus 
Mmm Output at pin 7 of the IC. R20, R21, R22, R23, R24, 
feo, and R26 form a biaSing circuit that provides uniform 
AFC loop gain over the tuning range, prevents the IC's AFC 
Smreuits from saturating, and prevents the over-deviation 

of the LO output. Instead of using a varactor diode as was 
done in the transmitter circuit, a back-biased transistor, 
QS, is used in the LO. As with the varactor the back-biased 
transistor's capacitance is also varied by the voltage 
appearing across it. This action is not as linear as it would 
be with a varactor, however since the circuit is only used 
to compensate for drift and not to transform an information 
Signal the decreased linearity is tolerable and the use of 

a transistor represents a considerable savings over the 

use of a relatively expensive varactor. The output of the 
Peomrs COupled through C20 to the mixer at Q2. 

The FM-4 1s a crystal bandpass filter designed 
especially for FM broadcast receivers. It has a narrow 
bandpass about the standard FM receiver IF of 10.7 MHz, 
therefore it filters out all but the difference frequency 


miom the MLXeL. 


BZ 





rans lewand 2°Or the lC drive the first of three IF 
iemiters in the chip. Pin 3 provides DC feedback. The limit- 
ers in turn supply three level detectors whose outputs are 
summed at pin 13. Ina FM broadcast receiver this output 
would drive an S meter. For the proposed system however, 
this output provides a convenient method for sensing the 
mresence of a received carrier and is used to drive the relay 
S@erecuit in the PMU transmitter. The first level detector in 
the IC also provides AGC voltage at pin 15. In the proposed 
system the AGC feature is only used for tuning and trouble 
shooting purposes. The output of pin 8 comes from a quad 
limiter. L2 acts as a RF choke to block harmonics of the IF. 
lWieeec2, and Rl are tuned to 10.7 MHz and drive the IC's de- 
M-evgr., Fin 10 is fixed at a reference bias voltage and would 
be used as a return point for the AFC if that feature were 
not used. R6 and RS set the squelch threshold of the IC. The 
Bee GCireuit reduces the side responses that are character- 
istic of limiter-discriminator receivers, as shown in Figure 
16. In the proposed system the squelch control can also be 
used aS a convenient method of decreasing the audio output of 
the IC without having to change fixed value components. The 
audio output of the IC is taken at pin 6. The internal out- 
put impedance is 5 KOhms, so the total impedance after R7 


woula be 7.5 KOhms.

The EMU transmitter is connected to a coaxial cable 


eet at the terminal labeled “RF+DC.'t As the label indi- 


cates both carrier RF and DC supply voltages are carried by 


the cable. RFC blocks the RF from the DC supply lines while 


@2eblocks the RF out of the terminal labeled "RF TO RECEIVER," 


hence RF/DC separation for the entire EMU is accomplished in 


the transmitter section. The DC supply for the receiver is 


picked off after RFC and is routed via the terminal labeled 


Bebe tO RECEIVER. Sil ais activated by the handset hook. In 


the hook-on condition the switch is open and the transmitter

Steall = times in order to receive ring tone signals.

The handset and dial tone keyboard are the conven- 
[uenal types currently in commercial telephone sets. The 
frequencies generated by the keyboard are shown in Figure 2. 
If the proposed system were placed in production these items 
would be purchased directly from a telephone equipment sup- 
plier. 

The transmitter circuit itself is identical to the 
PMU transmitter circuit. The output is again taken through 
R1, which increases the output impedance, back to the common 
coaxial cable connection. 

eee Receiver Operation 

Figure 19 presents the schematic diagram of the EMU 
receiver and Figure 20 tabulates the values of the components. 

The EMU receiver obtains its RF and DC from the trans- 
mitter section aS previously indicated. With the exception 
of the meter and audio amplifier circuits the two receivers 
feomrcdentical., In the PMU the meter current was used to control 
_a relay circuit. In the EMU there is no corresponding relay 
so the meter output is used for tuning purposes only. 

The audio amplifier of the EMU supplies both the 
handset and the ring tone speaker. Sl is controlled by the 
handset hook and 1s ganged with Sl of the EMU transmitter. 
When the hook-on condition exists Sl routes the audio to the 


Speaker so ring tones may be heard. When the user picks up 


35 





the handset the switch disconnects the speaker and connects 


the handset so a call can be completed. 


Vee SU Sean: CONCLUSIONS 


The proposed system meets the basic requirements for a 

FM, frequency division multiplexed telephone system compatible 
with both existing telephone networks and broadcast TV cable 
installations. The frequency allocation plan presented indi- 
cates that there are a reasonable number of extension channels 
available within the suggested system bandwidth. Interference 
Between individual telephone channels and between the telephone 
Signals and TV signals should be minimal because of the con- 
Servative carrier frequency separation used and the wide gap 
between the lowest TV channel and the highest telephone carrier. 
Before the proposed system could be placed in commercial use 
extensive testing would have to be carried out to verify the 
flack of interference. This testing would include the simul- 
taneous operation of several telephone and broadcast TV channels. 
im addition to determining mutual interference, interference 
from RF sources outside the system would have to be determined 
and minimized. 

The performance of the system is tabulated in, Section 
Pie Cy SPECIFICATIONS. Manufacturer's data on the CA-3089 


come ee fLovmd 1m APPENDIX B, ILLUSTRATIONS. Comparison of 


36 





these data show that the system has a reasonable signal to 
mouse ratio of -45db, but that the IC has a te in excess 

Smee 7Odb for strong received signals, indicating that the 
system has not realized optimum operation. The harmonic 
distortion realized of -40db was found to be highly dependent 
on the tuning of the various tuned circuits throughout the 
system. If the system were placed in commercial prdduction 
using plugin modules containing the tuned components, these 
components would have to be tuned for minimum signal distortion 
as well as for optimum signal strength. 

Reference 27 contains the CCITT (International Telegraph 
and Telephone Consultative Committee) standards for crosstalk 
in the telephone systems. The proposed systems crosstalk 
figure of -60 db is rated "Good't by these standards. 

In summary the proposed system has achieved performance 
figures that indicate it is a feasible Beeian for accomplishing 


the multiplex telephone concept.

A multichannel frequency division multiplexed FM telephone 
system 1S presented. The system is intended for use in 
organizations where large numbers of telephones are normally 
installed and is compatible with conventional switchboards. 
Advantages provided by the system are: reductions in installed 
Wiring, the ability to relocate telephone sets by the 
subscriber, and compatibility with other coaxial cable systems.
