Figure 2: Composite test signal circuit diagram
Using the circuit above and setting the signal generators to the levels shown in the diagram
simulates a CTCSS signal in a worst case condition. The performance of the DB1065 can be
measured with a SINAD meter connected to RXIN while each signal generator is varied to
simulate different signaling conditions.
4.5 Performance at other operating voltages
The DB1065’s performance may be evaluated at supply voltages other than the +5VDC supplied
from the on board regulator.
a. Turn power supply off.
b. Disconnect the power supply’s connection to J1 the B+ connection on the DB1065.
c. Set the power supply for an output of +5VDC.
d. Turn power supply off and connect it to the +5V J12 of the DB1065.
e. Turn on the power supply.
As an example, a DB1065 was configured to detect a 67Hz CTCSS tone using the following
configuration shown in Figure 3.
