First aid: artificial breathing(mouth to mouth)

1

In case of electric shock you have to ensure the first aids to

the patient, but to do this you have to consider two very

important things:

- interrupt immediately the electric circuit;

- if the circuit has not been interrupted, do not touch

the patient with bare hands; After doing this, without delay contact the nearest mobile

unit of first aid and practice to the patient, in case of loss of

consciousness, the breathing mouth to mouth as described

below.

2

Put the patient lying on his back with the arms parallel to

the body, ensure that he does not have the breathing tracts

obstructed (chewing-gum, dental prosthesis, etc.),

otherwise set him free from foreign bodies.

Kneel near the patient’s head and putting a hand under his

neck, incline as possible his/her head backwards.

3

Going on with keeping the patient’s head inclined with one

hand, use the other one to occlude the nostrils, if you are

going to practise the breathing through the oral cavity, or

occlude the mouth if you want to do it through the nasal

cavity.

While doing this begin the auto-oxygenation, with deep

breathing.

Then practice the artificial breathing blowing in the chosen

cavity beginning with ten expirations each minute to go on

them with twelve and fifteen.

4

During the breathing procedure you have to control that the

patient’s chest dilates, otherwise change cavity where to

blow the air because the previous one could be obstructed.

5 Do not ever stop the artificial breathing until the patient

has recovered or the first aid unit has come.

1. INTRODUCTION

The A4D-ESxR/1 (multi-channels) and A4D-ExR/1 (single-channel) is a family of transmitter

boards able to works from 3 GHz up to 15 GHz with excellent performances in term of output power

and spectral purity. The A4D-ESxR/1 boards have beeen designed in order to guaranty a reliable

connection in a point to point radio link and they can operate in indoor environment.

The design has been carried out taking in consideration quality, cost and reliability by using first

class solid stade devices along with a careful choise of the design architecture.

The end user can easily access and monitor the boards trough the EK-MFR/x equipment.

All Eurotek products are designed according with the ETSI recommendations.

2. THEORY OF OPERATION

The main task of the A4D-ESxR/1 boards is to convert an RF signal down to a 70 MHz IF, this is

accomplished by using two down-conversion step in order to keep as low as possible the spurious

emission. A band pass filter is inserted after each down-converter and a number of solid state

amplifiers keep the signal level controlled and stable in order to avoid unwanted distortions. One of

the main issue concerning the down-conversion process is related to the local oscillator phase noise

wich must not exceed the maximum allowed by the whole system, the only way to keep the phase

noise low enough to be compliant with the demodulator specs, is to implemt for each VCO a phase

locked loop able to stabilize the frequency and reduce the overall close-in phase noise.

3. BLOCK DIAGRAM

The block diagram description is valid for the complete board family, only minor differences will be

pointed out if essential to the reader understanding.

Each board has two main accesses, the first one is for the IF analog signal and the second one is a

pure digital access devoted to board management.

3.1 DUPLEXER

The connection between the indoor unit EK-MFR/x and the oudtor unit is made through a coaxial

cable carring the 70MHz IF signal, an FDM control signals and the power supply. The modulated

carrier is dropped by the duplexer and demodulated in order to establish the communication between

indoor and outdoor units. The low pass filter inside the duplexer selects the bias volage to be applied

to the DC/DC converters .

3.2 IF ANALOG SIGNAL PATH

The IMG2 signal is amplified by the first low noise amplifier, the RF signal is then down-converted

to the IMG1 using an image rejection aimed to reduce the overall noise figure. The signal is

amplified before to be down converted to the 70 MHz IF in order to keep the noise figure as low as

possible.

All the filters distribuited in the Rx line up have the purpose to remove the unwanted signals that

could convert thermal noise to the IF frequency.

The two local oscillators are both part of a phase locked loop in order to guarantee both the long term

frequency stability and the phase noise to be as low as possible. The secod LO (LO1) is a fixed

frequency oscillator while the first one (LO2) can be tuned in order to select the RF channel(see par.

3.4).

3.3 DIGITAL CONTROL

The unit is completely controlled, through the EK-CDP/x board (see EK-CDP/x user ‘s manual), by

a microprocessor and the standard interface to the mainframe EK-MFR/x allows an easy access to

the board. The power control loop is fully controlled by the mainframe.
