Shure UC4 Diversity Receiver 2 Parts Designations 25C1045 (TK) Circuit Description The audio circuit and rf circuit description will describe only one channel because the other channel is identical for both. The local oscillator (LO) section is common for both channels and will be described separately.

Each channels audio then enters its own adjustable gain stage. This adjustable gain stage is used to match the audio levels coming from each rf channel, as well as to set the correct level necessary for the compander. From the gain stages, each channel enters an analog switch. Noise outputs also come from each channel detector outputs. Each noise output enters a bandpass noise filter that measures the 50 kHz noise present in the audio signal. The noise level is proportional to the signal- to-noise ratio of the channel. In the MARCAD diversity system, a rectified version of the noise is sent to a bank of comparators. A version of the channel noise that is 6 dB less also enters the comparators. The noise from one channel is compared to the noise from the other to make sure they are within 6 dB of each other. If the noise levels are within 6 dB of each other, the comparators send a logic high signal to the control of each channels analog switch, allowing the audio to pass through.
