OVERVIEW
The leader in HF communications for five decades has developed one of the most modern and lightweight airborne systems available today. The HF-9000 High-Frequency Communications System offers unprecedented capability and reliability, combined with unequaled ease of operation for the aviation HF communications user. The HF-9000 system consists of a compact control unit, receiver/transmitter and an automatic antenna coupler. The HF-9000 system is designed for use in both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Operating throughout the standard HF radio spectrum, the HF-9000 system provides communications capability anywhere in the world.
DESCRIPTION
The HF-9000 system incorporates the latest in state-of-the-art technology that includes microprocessors, direct digital frequency synthesis and fiber optics as well as preplanned product improvement design philosophy. The HF-9000 system covers the 2.0 to 29.9999 MHz frequency range in 100 Hz steps. Communication is possible in both simplex and half-duplex in Upper Sideband (USB), Lower Sideband (LSB), Amplitude Modulation Equivalent (AME), Continuous Wave (CW) and optional Frequency Modulation (FM) mode. To minimize user workload, the HF-9000 system has the capability to store 99 user-programmed preset channels. The receiver/transmitter will store frequency data and RF emission mode for either simplex or half-duplex communication in nonvolatile memory. In addition, two emergency channel frequencies and all 249 half-duplex ITU maritime radiotelephone channels (public correspondence network) are preprogrammed into nonvolatile memory permitting phone patch capabilities over thousands of miles. Built-In-Test Equipment (BITE) provides diagnostic testing and monitoring to determine if the system is capable of providing the specified performance. Should a fault occur, BITE will identify the specific unit, module/circuit card and the failed circuit. Frequencies and channels are selected with dedicated switches, and all knobs are sized and spaced to optimize ease of operation. Pressurized automatic antenna couplers are available that provide high performance and installation flexibility. The antenna coupler tunes shunt antennas. The pressurized antenna coupler provides full operational capability and reliability at high altitudes and temperature extremes. The antenna coupler quickly matches the power amplifier in the receiver/transmitter to the antenna to maximize the radiated power. Each antenna coupler has the capability to learn and store tuning data for 99 preset channels as well as storing the last 50 manually tuned frequencies. This learning is accomplished during the first tune cycle and is then stored; upon recalling the preset channel or a previously used manual frequency, the antenna coupler tuning cycle time is nominally 40 milliseconds. With the HF-9000 system, weight savings is enhanced by the use of fiber optic cables to transfer all control and status information between the system units. A fiber optic cable is much lighter while providing two additional advantages. First, fiber optic eliminates the electromagnetic interference to which copper cable is susceptible. Second, it is capable of handling large amounts of data within a very short period of time. The flexibility of the HF-9000 system is clearly demonstrated by the various system configurations. The receiver/transmitter may be remotely mounted in the aircraft avionics bay and controlled by the control unit or controlled via a MIL-STD-1553B data bus, ARINC 429 data bus or some other control scheme. This flexibility of interface makes the HF-9000 system compatible with advanced flight deck management systems. Optional data bus configurations can also be implemented. Additional flexibility is provided by the modular design employed in the receiver/transmitter. The HF-9000 system offers the user a variety of communication possibilities that include contact with air traffic control agencies over thousands of miles away, worldwide time and frequency standard broadcasts, Omega navigation station status reports, weather and marine storm warnings, radiotelephone service for personal messages and ARINC operational control services for messages relating to flying operations.
