STANDARD PALAPA
C-BAND VSAT TRANSCEIVER SERIES
0 dBm, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 100 Watts

The up converter, down converter, power amplifier, monitor and control and power supply are included in a single enclosure. The only cabling required to the indoor equipment are IF cables. The LNC connects to the transceiver with a single coaxial cable.

An ovenized, high stability crystal oscillator is used to lock the TX and RX synthesizers. The onboard microprocessor is used to give additional temperature and aging compensation.

BITE Facility
To improve and simplify maintenance routines, an external terminal (or computer) can be connected to monitor a number of critical parameters without use of additional test equipment. These include:

Transmitter power output level

Power supply voltages

TX and RX local oscillator stresses

Internal temperature

Alarm details

Controllable functions from the terminal include:

TX frequency

RX frequency (independent from TX)

TX gain (including ON / OFF)

RX gain

RF inhibit

Comprehensive Monitor & Control
A powerful Monitor and Control feature allows you to monitor and control the transceiver on the same M&C bus with most indoor equipment such as modems and multiplexers. The Monitor & Control system can be used in combination with the unit's internal metering function to monitor operational parameters.

MS DOS and Windows^®-based Supervisor M & C software is provided with each transceiver for use in combination with a PC for monitoring and controlling all major earth station equipment besides the transceiver.

Benefits

A family of products with significant commonality minimizes demands for spares and training.

"Last Touch" controls allow for remote configuration or local (manual) configuration.

Flash memory means that the transceiver always powers up with exactly the same operating conditions as when it lost power (or was turned off).

Comprehensive maintenance features for operational effectiveness and minimum outages.

Simple installation.

Manufactured using state-of-the-art technology.
