The challenge:

ROUTE AMPLIFY SPLIT SWITCH

  • More and more space crafts orbiting the earth
  • Bigger and more teleports with many different sizes and

designs of antennas

Importance of Signal Handling

ROUTE AMPLIFY SPLIT SWITCH

  • Ever increasing traffic between space & terrestrial networks
  • GEO orbiting satellites well exceed 420
  • Hundreds of LEO and MEO satellites provide interlinks

between spacecraft. All eventually beamed down to earth

  • Increasing traffic density, as well as capacity means

broader IF bands (E.G HTS Satellites)

  • Bigger earth stations and wider range of antennas at each
  • f these teleports
  • Antennas designed to handle multiple RF links of different

frequencies; Ka, Ku and C-bands

ROUTE AMPLIFY SPLIT SWITCH

Case Study 1

Rack layout of ETL Modular system with 50 downlink and 50 uplink chains. system ETL solution & roles:

  • Initial definition of requirements
  • Customisation: each RF path has a

variable gain amplifier and splitter (combiner on TX) with variable gain per output; based on ETL’s modular system chassis. New RF cards developed.

  • Supply of amplifiers, splitters, fan

trays, termination panels, and intra- module cables.

  • Supply and integration into racks.

The brief: European teleport wanting to balance, equalise & distribute all downlink and uplink traffic with variable gain & slope to compensate cable losses; and have variable gain on each splitter output to balance signals

Case Study 2

The brief: US government upgrading and expanding L-band switch matrices and need 64x384 with specific RF performance; compact space and simple cable installation

Vulcan based 64x384 system in comfortable 3 racks ETL solution & roles:

  • Rack layouts and cabling agreed,

with particular regard to concerns

  • ver total cabling requirements to

modems and antennas

  • Customisation: cable management

and termination panels (standard RF performance)

  • Supply of complete system from

termination panel in to termination panel out.

  • Supply and integration into racks.

Marine TVRO

  • Typically 2 or 4 antennas
  • Typically 4 L-band feeds per antenna (Ku or Ka

band)
