1、TS-590S HF/50MHz ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER Distinctive Performance Uncover the Hidden The TS-590S marks a bold new chapter in Kenwoods proud history of manufacturing high-performance transceivers. Featuring a narrow-band Roofi ng Filter the TS-590S signifi cantly reduces interference from unwanted signal

2、s, which results in excellent RX performance revealing signals that would be hidden to lesser rigs. With IF AGC based on advanced DSP technology, Kenwood has essentially redefi ned HF performance. Built to satisfy the most demanding DXer, this high-performance HF transceiver takes Amateur Radio to t

3、he next level continuing the Kenwood tradition of operating ease and rugged reliability.

4、b RX Performance: Excellent Dynamic Range Even with Powerful Off-frequency Interference! Thanks to a narrow-band Roofi ng Filter and dedicated 1st Mixer, this new transceiver offers the best dynamic range in its class to handle adjacent unwanted signals. Powerful 500 Hz/2.7 kHz Roofi ng Filter On 15

5、, 20, 40, 80 or 160 meters, the TS-590S employs down conversion* for the fi rst IF (11.374 MHz). Having the 1st Roofi ng Filter (6 kHz BW) directly after the Mixer enhances the noise blankers ability to deal with adjacent off-frequency signals. What really determines RX performance is the 2nd Roofi

6、ng Filter, after the post amplifi er. The TS-590S comes equipped with a 500 Hz and 2.7 KHz BW 6-pole MCF. This results in superb dynamic range when adjacent signals are present, performance that was not previously possible using up conversion. So even when an interfering signal approaches the target

7、 frequency, a virtually fl at dynamic range is maintained. Even with strong adjacent interference, you can capture a clear signal. *For 1.8/3.5/7/14/21 MHz Amateur bands, when receiving in CW/FSK/SSB modes down conversion is selected automatically if the fi nal passband is 2.7 kHz or less. DDS offer

8、s superb Carrier to Noise ratio characteristics, signifi cantly cutting noise generated by adjacent unwanted signals. For the 1st local oscillator frequency, instead of employing conventional PLL/VCO, the output of a DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer) is supplied directly to the following Mixer. When

9、down conversion is active, the oscillator frequency is lower than it is with up conversion, so the output boasts even better C/N (Carrier to Noise ratio) characteristics and a desirable level of reciprocal mixing. Wide Range of Features Thanks to 32-bit Floating-point DSP In addition to basic functi

10、ons such as AGC, digital IF fi lters, detection and demodulation, a wide range of features including noise reduction and IF notch are all implemented with the latest algorithms. Advanced AGC with digital signal processing from the IF stage onward The TS-590S employs DSP from the IF stage onward. Ken

11、wood was the fi rst to offer DSP-based IF AGC in an Amateur radio (TS-870) and this DSP technology has been further enhanced for the TS-590S, resulting in the development of a unique approach to IF AGC. It is possible to apply level-optimized AGC even for signals that slip between the Roofi ng Filte

12、r and the fi nal IF passband. You can be confi dent of optimum operation at all times, without having to think about the Roofi ng Filter bandwidth. Gain control performance has been greatly improved for the target signal in the fi nal IF passband (RX band). This results in in-band IMD (intermodulati

13、on distortion) characteristics on a par with those of top-of-the-line transceivers. You can enjoy superb RX with next-generation Kenwood sound. AD9951 from Analog Devices, Inc Reciprocal Mixing To measure the level of reciprocal mixing, an off-channel signal is mixed with the output of a signal gene

14、rator, which is then varied until the unwanted signal can be detected as noise. The higher the fi gure, the less noise will be generated by adjacent interference, allowing undisturbed reception.

18、o avoid an adjacent unwanted sig- nal by narrowing the passband. Extensive interference/noise removal features ? Adjustable IF fi lter passband By adjusting the DSP fi lter passband, you can tailor interference removal to suit your needs. This provides slope tuning in SSB/AM/FM modes, and bandwidth

19、width/shift control for CW/FSK/SSB-DATA communications. IIF auto-notch* & manual notch* Automatic and manual notch are both implemented at the IF stage. By removing a powerful interfering signal with a notch fi lter, you can capture a weak target signal. With the IF auto-notch, notch frequency autom

20、atically tracks the beat frequency. The notch fi lter has such sharp characteristics that it is not possible to adjust it manually. Manual notch, however, offers not only manual adjustment of the notch frequency, but also the choice of either normal or wide attenuation to suit the type of interferen

21、ce being encountered. *Available only in SSB mode. *Available in SSB/CW/FSK modes. IAnalog & Digital noise blanking (NB1 / NB2) In addition to the analog noise blanker (NB1), which has a proven track record for eliminating weak noise, this transceiver is equipped with a newly developed digital noise

22、 blanker (NB2). Just pick the blanker which is more effective for the type of noise encountered and the RX conditions. NB1 offers stable noise suppression independent of RX bandwidth because, during down conversion, the noise that has passed through the 1st Roofi ng Filter (NB fi lter) is fed to the

23、 NB circuit. The NB2 employs a newly developed envelope tracking method, making it effective against noise that defi es tracking by an analog noise blanker. IDSP noise reduction (NR1 / NR2) In addition to conventional NR1 and NR2, NR1 now employs a newly developed spectral-subtraction approach that

24、is specially designed to remove noise in speech modes. The optimum noise reduction method is applied for each RX mode. GNR1 Spectral-subtraction noise reduction has been developed with a focus on improving speech clarity for weak SSB signals. Thanks to this advanced technology, which makes use of th

25、e processing power of the 32-bit fl oating-point DSP, you can capture a target signal that is swamped by noise, without suffering any loss in quality. For the non-speech modes (CW/FSK), a line enhancer offers tried and true noise reduction. Whichever method is used, the degree of attenuation can be

26、adjusted smoothly. GNR2 (SPAC) Kenwoods original NR2 is SPAC-based noise reduction that ex- tracts a periodic signal. SPAC is ideal for CW operations as it can suppress noise at the same frequency as the target signal. You can adjust correlation time in 2ms increments from 2ms to 20 ms (10 steps). N

27、R2 is not available for FM. I Simple IF fi lter A/B switching You can, for example, set Filter A for a wide passband, and Filter B for a narrow passband. When searching for a particular station during CW operations you can then use the Filter A, switching to the narrower Filter B once communications

28、 are initiated. In this way, you can easily switch between 2 preset DSP fi lters as needed. I?IF Auto Notch I Noise Reduction NR2: SPAC I Noise Reduction NR1: Noise level is estimated and that alone is subtracted, thus emphasizing the target signal. I Slope Tune By adjusting HI/LOW cut, it is possib

29、le to avoid interference on one or both sides of the target signal. 4 Extensive CW Support ICW auto tune With just the press of a button, you can automatically zero in on a target frequency for CW reception. During RIT operations, it will also tune in to the RIT frequency. I2 key terminals on rear p

32、 compensated crystal oscillator), which is available as an option, ensures superb frequency stability (0.5ppm) throughout a wide temperature range, from -10C to +50C. IDrive output (including 135 kHz band) The DRV terminal provides external access to the TX drive output (approx. 0 dBm). This is not

33、just handy when a transverter is attached: the main antenna terminal cannot be used for transmission on the 135 kHz band, but this DRV terminal fi lls that need. Convenience is further enhanced when combined with the dedicated RX antenna terminal. Note: A separate license fi r the 2200 meter band ma

Having two fans provides suffi cient air fl ow at low rpm, ensuring quiet operation. Meticulous attention has been paid not only to

39、 the fans and motors but also to the size and shape of the intake/exhaust vents as a comprehensive approach to noise reduction. The aluminum die-cast chassis is combined with a large heat sink to enhance heat dissipation effi ciency, minimizing the rise in temperature in the fi nal section during co

40、ntinuous TX sessions. This heavy-duty design is capable of withstanding long hours of operation under grueling conditions typical of contests or DXpeditions. IBuilt-in automatic antenna tuner (compatible with 5 MHz band) The preset-type automatic antenna tuner enables quick band changing and can eve

41、n operate when the TS-590S is receiving. When the TX frequency changes, the preset data (stored separately for each antenna band) is loaded into the antenna tuner circuit to ensure that optimum matching is rapidly achieved without having to retune. IBeat cancel (BC1 / BC2) Whereas IF auto notch is e

42、ffective against a single, powerful beat, the beat cancel feature comes into its own when there are multiple, relatively weak beats. Choose BC1 to remove weak and/or continuous beat interference, and BC2 to handle intermittent beat, like that of a CW signal. Since this can be used in conjunction wit

43、h IF auto notch, even more effective beat cancellation is possible. (SSB/AM/FM only) 5 I Beat Cancel Multiple beats can be cancelled. External Connectors IDirect frequency entry, direct band selection The keypad is used for Amateur band direct key access. There are 3 memories for each band, so you c

IUSB connectivity for PC control Thanks to the addition of a USB port, the TS-590S can be hooked up to a PC with a USB cable, enabling PC control of the transceiv

45、er plus TX/RX audio connectivity. Note: Because of the theoretical latency of USB audio, it cannot be used for applications that are affected by a time lag. IRemote control of the TS-590S using a computer Using the ARCP-590 radio control program, it is possible to access virtually all functions from
