    5-3-13 Relay Board (RLY)
    5-3-13-1 General Description The Relay Board hosts the connectors for the probes. 
    • On systems without 4D (RT3D), the Relay Board has three PA probe connectors plus a “blind” PA slot used to park a fourth probe.
    • On systems with 4D (RT3D), the  Relay Board has four probe connectors. The three leftmost 
    connectors are used for PA probes, the fourth connector is used for the 4D probe.
    The Doppler (Pedof) connector, on the front of the  Vivid 7, is connected to the Relay board via an 
    internal cable.
    • In receiving mode, the Relay Board connects the transducer channels from the selected probe to  the RX and TX boards via the XDBUS. 
    • The Relay Board routes the TX power supplies to the active probe.
    • It also routes the Probe Multiplexer Control Signal to the active probe.
    • FEP2 ONLY:  The connectors for the XDBUS connection, are color coded to match the colors on 
    the connectors on the XD BUS Board, to reduce th e risk of using the wrong type of XD Bus boards.

    5-3-14 Receiver Board, RX-128
    5-3-14-1 General Description
    5-3-14-2 Signals From Active Probe • The RX-128 Board has 128 identical receive channels (XD1-XD128). 
    • The signal in each channel is fed via a Tran smit/Receive (T/R) switch to a preamplifier. 
    • From the preamplifier the signal goes to a Time  Controlled Gain (TGC) amplifier used to equalize 
    the signal strength from the near fi eld, the mid field and the far field. 
    • The output channels (RX1 - RX128) are then out put via the backplane to the Beamformer boards.

    5-3-14-3 Signals from Pedof Probe The Pedof signals are connected via two dedicated channels on the XD bus
    PW Mode
    • The Pedof signals (two channels) are fed via a  Transmit/Receive (T/R) switch and relays to three 
    preamplifiers for each Pedof channel.
    • From the preamplifiers the signal go to Analog Beamformers.
    • From the Analog Beamformers the signals are fed via a multiplexer for demodulating.
    • The demodulated (I and Q) signals are then conv erted from analog to digital in 12 bit A/D 
    converters.
    • The output from the A/D converters (MLA0 and ML A1) are then output to the Beamformer boards.
    CW Mode
    • In CW mode, the CW signal is amplified by a de dicated preamplifier (not shown in block diagram) 
    before multiplexing and demodulating. 
    • The demodulated (I and Q) signals are then conv erted from analog to digital in 12 bit A/D 
    converters.
    • The output from the A/D converters (MLA0 and ML A1) are then output to the Beamformer boards.

    5-3-15-1 General Description, BF-64 boards  The BF64 board converts the analog RF-input signal from 64 receiver channels into digital form and 
    performs receiver focusing and steering by digital delay.
    All digital signal processing to filter and delay ea ch channel is performed in an Application Specific 
    Integrated Circuit (ASIC) named FOC32.
    The output of this board is either connected to a  new BF64 board (to increase the number of channels) 
    or to the RFT or RFI board for digital RF processing.
