HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER|7760
A New Innovative Shack Style
Full Control Head with Separated RF Deck

High Power & Clean Transmit Signal for
A New Innovative Shack Style
In today’s connected world, the IC-7760 introduces a new connected system consisting of a control head
and RF deck, connected with a commercially available control (LAN) cable. This concept increases theflexibility of your station installation, making more space available on the desktop by placing the RF deckin an area closer to the antenna feed point. In addition to the direct connect feature, control head to RF
deck, utilize your home network to make any tabletop your shack and a PC is not required!

Full Control Headwith Separated RF Deck

Supports In-house Remote Operation
Through a Home LAN Connection

The IC-7760 consists of a separate control head and RF deck anduses a control cable for connecting between them. It increases theflexibility of the installation. A control cable (3 m, 9.8 ft) is suppliedwith the radio, and a commercially available LAN cable* can be used
to install the RF deck in a more remote location. It enables the RF
deck to be placed in a rack or other location away from the station
desktop, providing a quiet shack environment away from the noiseof the fan used to dissipate the heat generated by the RF deck.

The IC-7760 can be connected to thecontrol head and RF deck through a wired
home LAN network*. This gives the user
2F
even greater flexibility of the RF deck.
Because of its simple configuration that
does not require a PC, the control head of
the IC-7760 can be moved anywhere in
1F
the house and operated not only from theshack but also from the living room, etc.,
as long as a LAN connection is available. In-house Remote Operation* LAN cable: Cat5e or higher.
Cable length: Maximum 100 m, 328 ft* Communication between the control head and the RF deck depends on the network
environment in which it is used.
Gigabit Ethernet is required. The control head can be used on a different network segment
than the RF deck such as over a network switch.

Feature 03

Dual, Independent Receivers

DIGI-SEL and Preamp

The IC-7760 has independent MAIN/SUB receivers, from theantenna to the speaker, so that one receiver section has no effect on
the other, providing simultaneous reception of two signals in different
bands/modes with identical performance. As with the IC-7851, dual
spectrum scopes provide simultaneous display of the MAIN and SUB
bands allowing the operator to see the changing band conditions.

The DIGI-SEL (Digital Pre-selector) is highly effective in rejecting
out-of-band strong signals such as from broadcasting stations or
multi-multi operation. In conventional models (such as IC-7850/51 or
IC-7610), the DIGI-SEL circuit was located soon after the RF input(antenna) to prevent signal distortion by out-of-band interference.
Even if the preamp was turned ON, the noise figure (receiversensitivity) could not be improved, as DIGI-SEL had an insertion loss
due to its narrow bandwidth. In the IC-7760, which is a direct
sampling system, DIGI-SEL prevents overflow (OVF) due tounwanted out-of-band signals rather than signal distortion, and thepreamp uses the A/D converter to take full advantage of its dynamic
range. When preamp is turned ON in the IC-7760, the preampenhances the intended signal first, then DIGI-SEL filters out
unwanted

Advanced RF Direct Sampling System
The IC-7760 adopts the RF direct samplingsystem, in which RF signals are directly
converted to digital signals and the signals
are processed by an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). This system avoids
non-linear distortions that occur in mixer
stages during the analog signal processing.
In addition, by employing DSP units in both
the RF deck and control head, the IC-7760
is able to handle complex audio pathswitching due to various interface inputs
and outputs, while minimizing delay in ahome LAN environment.

A Total of 15-separated BPF
While the previous model covered HF bands with a 9-separated BPF(Band Pass Filter), the IC-7760 uses an 11-separated BPF in HF bands.
In addition, by employing sharp filters specialized for each amateurband, the BPF efficiently attenuates out-of-band interference signals
in the RF stage, and prevents overflow at the A/D converter.

DPD (Digital Pre-Distortion) Technology

Dual Display Control HeadThe DPD function corrects non-linear distortion at the final amplifierby applying inverse distortion in advance. A clean signal transmission is achieved while providing 200 W of high output power at thesame time. The DPD function also works at the 1 kW output incombination with the IC-PW2*.

The IC-7760 control head has main and sub dual displays. The displays
are one 7-inch-wide main display (800 × 480 pixels, WVGA) and one
2.4-inch sub display (320 × 240 pixels) and both displays are touch
screens. The main display shows information necessary for
operation, including MAIN/SUB operating frequencies, and setting/operating status of each function.
The 2.4-inch, sub-display, can show the filter effect, various meters, anda band stacking register. The filter
effect screen can display the IF filter
passband width and IF filter shapesuperimposed on the IF filter
passband signal. This function
shows you visible images of twin
PBTs, manual notch effects. The
improved visibility of information
enhances operability and ensures
Filter Effect Example
smoother operation.

* DPD feedback cable OPC-2501 is required when using with the IC-PW2.

facilitating smooth band changes
and multi-band operation.
Antenna Tuner Unit

The dual Spectrum Scope provides excellent sweep speed,
resolution, and a wide dynamic range of 100 dB with FPGA, DSP
and CPU combined processing for main and sub bands. It can also
monitor two different bands at the same time, which is useful formonitoring conditions and during contests. In the Continuous
SCROLL mode, a wide bandwidth exceeding 1 MHz can be seen on
the scope screen. The waterfall display shows changes in thefrequency spectrum vertically, enabling the user to find a weak signalthat is difficult to detect with the spectrum scope. Increases QSO
possibilities without missing weak DX stations.

Dual Speakers

RC-28 for a Second VFO Knob

The IC-7760 is also equipped with dual
speakers. By separating the MAIN/SUB
audio into left and right speakers,
respectively, distinguishing the audio
during Dualwatch operation is
improved. MAIN/SUB audio can be set
for stereo or mono output from bothspeakers.

By connecting the optional RC-28 via
USB connection, the SUB bandtuning of the IC-7760 can beconveniently operated with yourfingertips. MAIN/SUB switching
buttons can be assigned to the F-1
and F-2 buttons on the RC-28 and it
can operate as the main dial for both
MAIN and SUB bands.
