SAGEM-LINK F
Installation and Operation Manual
-
Telemetry downlink (10 MHz) which carries information returned from the ODU to the IDU
(alarms, receive signal level).
•
Transmitter using two frequency conversions. Minimum frequency step is 250 kHz
•
Diplexer
•
Receiver using two frequency conversion
•
Power supply
•
Microcontroller which controls the ODU and communicates with the IDU
5.7 – Protected Configurations
Three protected configuration are available : 1+1 Mute Hot Standby, 1+1 Space Diversity, 1+1
Frequency diversity.
Protection switching detects failures on the units and route data to provide the best service.
5.7.1 – 1+1 Mute Hot Standby (MHSB)
IDU
The 1+1 MHSB configuration involves the following principles :
•
Main and standby units work at the same frequency, and are connected to the antenna with a
coupler (6dB, 3dB or 10dB coupling),
•
When one transmitter is in traffic, the other is in mute position
•
Both receivers are continuously operating
•
Transmitter and receiver protection switch controls are independent. It is possible to have main
transmitter in traffic, with standby receiver operating.
•
Transmitter and receiver protection switches are controlled by the local terminal only. The
remote terminal does not control local transmitter protection switch
•
Transmitter and receiver protection switches can be controlled manually with the Pilot software
•
Receiver switch has hitless features : when there is no failure on one receiver, there is no error
during receiver switching operation.
5.7.2 – 1+1 Space Diversity
