    ADU-* and QADU-*


    Automatic Drive Unit / QAM Automatic Drive Unit

    Motorola’s automatic drive unit, model ADU-*, and


    QAM automatic drive unit, model QADU-*, are
    automatic gain control (AGC) devices. Cable system
    Motorola’s automatic drive
    signal levels vary as cable attenuation and hybrid unit, model ADU-*, and
    output vary over temperature. The function of the ADU
    is to monitor the output level of a selected pilot signal at QAM automatic drive unit,
    the output of the host amplifier, and send any detected model QADU-*, provide
    changes in amplitude back to the Bode equalizer. The
    Bode then makes appropriate corrections in order to amplifier output level
    adjust the gain of the amplifier to maintain a constant
    output level for a range of input levels. The
    stabilization over
    ADU/QADU is a plug-in accessory that may be temperature.
    configured into the amplifier (depending on model), or
    ordered as a separate item for field installation. Use of
    the ADU/QADU does not reduce station gain.

    The current ADUs and QADUs use surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters to select the pilot
    frequency. There are several frequency values available. For the traditional analog ADUs, the
    pilot frequency is a continuous wave (CW) signal or an available NTSC television signal not
    scrambled by the sync suppression method. Motorola also offers the QAM ADU, which uses a
    QAM-modulated digital channel for a pilot signal. This is ideal for cable operators wishing to
    expand their digital channels below 550 MHz, thereby encroaching into traditional analog space.
    There is then no need to hold an analog channel. There are two pilot frequency choices available
    for the QADU, 609 MHz or 711 MHz, both of which are above 550 MHz meaning most cable
    operators carry digital channels at these frequencies. The QAM ADU also offers a gain-hold
    feature. If the pilot level drops by 20 dB or more, the gain is set to mid-range. For more
    information, please contact your Motorola Account Representative.

    BENEFITS INCLUDE:

    ‰ Several analog frequency values


    available (ADU)
    ‰ Two digital frequency values available
    (QAM ADU)
    ‰ QAM ADU utilizes QAM-modulated
    digital channel as pilot (no need to
    hold analog channel when expanding
    digital bandwidth)
    ‰ All common ADU models utilize SAW
    filters to detect pilot signal
    ‰ All current ADU models meet FCC and
    CENELEC requirements
