Ask a service engineer or technician
what training they need and you're
likely to hear, "We need measurement
and applications training." If you
think about it, the request makes
sense. Understanding the environ-
ment that instruments operate in is
a valuable addition to one's trouble-
shooting tool kit.
Hewlett-Packard has developed an
c interactive training program aimed
at new technical entrants in the field
of digital microwave communications.
If you or your group is involved in
servicing microwave communications
equipment, you'll want to order a

Using Fiber Optics to Transmit a

performance is the environment in
which the system is located. An elec-
trically noisy environment affects
coax but not fiber.
This article will describe using fiber
optics to transmit frequency stand-
ards of 1 MHz, 5 MHz, and 10 MHz
with the standard HP components
shown i n the photograph. If your
system matches the example used in
this article, all that is required is to
build the circuits described and then
install the system. If you want to
make changes, the formulas, dia-
grams and schematics are supplied
that will allow you to build a custom
system for your office.
Before describing the fiber optic link,
let's look at a typical block diagram
of a system that uses coax (see Figure 7
1).Even if your system requirements
are slightly different, the basic idea
is the same. Now look at Figure 2. Figure 1. Block diagram of typical frequency standard distribution scheme using coax.

select the drive current for modula-
tion (Ifm) and the quiescent current
for the dc current level of the LED +8.5V
(Ifq). Note that the drive current sets
the amount of optical power that the
diode emits and that the LED should
operate from maximum peak current
to just above extinction (zero optical
power). Quiescent current refers to
the dc operating point that biases the
. LED in the center of its operating
range (just like a transistor's Q point).
Note the network of the three diodes
. (CR1-3)and the 2N2905 (Ql) transis-
tor. This network sets the voltage at
the LED to the center of the range
between Vcc and ground. This is to
avoid any clipping of the signal in
the LH0002. Modify the circuit as
shown in Figure 4 and the same
signal can be transmitted down two
fibers instead of one.
r
Now, the two currents, the Ifq and
Ifm, must be calculated. Referring to L--+ +8.5V
the values shown in Table 1,we see
that the maximum peak operating
current for the LED is 70 mA. The
recommended operating value that Figure 3. Fiber optic transmitter.

ary-February issue of Bench Briefs,
Hewlett-Packard is designing new
products with full metrics. As those
products are introduced to the mar-
ket, and older products are retired,
the line will naturally become more
metric.
Starting early this year, HP began
shipping instruments that use the so-
called System I1 cabinet configuration
with metric-threaded fasteners in the
frame parts. Brackets and cabinet-
joining hardware will attach with
metric screws although the internal
structure will remain standard inch-
threaded fasteners (in the older
instruments).
Instruments with these mixed inch-
`threadedlmetric-threadedconfigura-
tions will be identified with labels
inside each top and bottom cover.
There should also be a notification
label attached to the rear panel of
each instrument. And as the updates
become available, the operating and
service manual will carry a notifica-
tion addendum sheet. The frame parts
themselves will have either an "M'
designator or the word "metric" cast
into a visible spot for identification
as shown in the accompanying pho-
tographs. These photographs show
how you can identify the new cabinets Front bezel casting has metric mark under trim strip on the right corner.
that now use the metric fasteners for
attaching cabinet accessories. To pre-
vent damage and to preserve the
structural integrity of the cabinets,
it is vitally important to use the
proper fasteners.
As an aid to our customers, HP has
modified most of the cabinet accessory
kits t o include both the metric-
threaded and inch-threaded fasteners.
These cabinet accessory kits are
shown on pages 682-685 of the 1985
HP Catalog (HP No. 5954-0168). The
accompanying list shows the new kit
part numbers that contain both inch-
threaded and metric-threaded
fasteners. 0 Rear bezel casting has metric mark alongside the top cover-attaching screw.
