    5.0 Introduction This section describes some of the tests performed on production amplifiers before shipment. Where possible, Paradise Datacom LLC maintains computer automated RF test stations to ensure a high level of accuracy and consistency to production amplifier testing. 5.1 Standard tests All Paradise Datacom Compact Outdoor amplifiers must meet rigid specifications and undergo the following tests.
  • Page 48: Spurious

    5.1.2 Spurious Spurious signals are undesirable byproducts of amplifiers caused by nonlinearities within the amplifier and other system level components such as switch mode power supplies. These unwanted signals cause signal management problems in system applications. Out of band spurious signals cause interference to other pieces of equipment. See Figure 5-1, Item [2]. 5.1.3 Input Return Loss The input return loss is measured in all production amplifiers.

    5.2 Tests for units with integrated BUC If the Compact Outdoor amplifier includes a block up converter (BUC), the following tests are included. 5.2.1 Reference Lock This test checks the external/internal references (if equipped), as well as lowest locking level at 10 MHz.
  • Page 52: Optional Tests

    5.3 Optional Tests The following tests are performed on units at the request of the customer, usually to verify specific customer requirements. 5.3.1 Noise Figure Using a noise figure meter, the unit is tested to verify it operates within specification. 5.3.2 Group Delay The testing software measures the linear, parabolic, and ripple components to verify the unit is within specification.
  • Page 53: Section 6: Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    Section 6: Maintenance and Troubleshooting 6.0 Introduction This section describes some of the standard maintenance practices that can be performed on the Mini Compact Outdoor Amplifier and tips to troubleshoot common customer issues. 6.1 Cooling System Maintenance It is recommended that the cooling system be checked at least once per month. This involves visually inspecting the fan intakes to make sure that there is no obstructions over the intake.

  • Page 57: Section 7: Redundant System Configurations

    7.0 Redundant System Concepts The Mini Compact Outdoor Amplifier is capable of operating in a variety of redundant system configurations. These include 1:1 and 1:2 as well as 1:1 with L-Band Block Up Converters. The Mini Compact Outdoor Amplifier has a built-in 1:1 redundancy controller, allowing it to be used in 1:1 redundant systems without a separate external controller.
  • Page 58: 1:2 Redundant Systems

    The system shown in Figure 7-3 uses the same concept of the power splitter on the RF input. In this case the Compact Outdoor amplifiers are equipped with L-Band block up converters. L-Band input amplifiers use phase locked oscillators as the local oscillator to the up converter. Such systems must use a splitter at the input instead of a switch so that the reference input is always available to the standby amplifier.
  • Page 59: Section 8: Remote Control Interface

    (FSK interface is available only on units with an optional L-Band block up converter). RS232/485 interface can be used in conjunction with Paradise CO SSPA serial protocol (aka Normal protocol) or Legacy Paradise VSAT BUC serial protocol (aka VSAT protocol). Serial protocol format is set at no parity, 8 bit with 1 stop bit.
  • Page 60: Table 8-1: Interface Selection

    The selected interface is controlled by a combination of internal SSPA settings and/or Interface control pins: Baud1 (Pin e) and Baud0 (Pin j) on the J4 M&C connector (See Table 8-1). Baud0 (Pin j) state Baud1 (Pin e) state Open Closure to Chassis ground Closure to...
  • Page 61: Serial Communication

    8.1 Serial communication This section describes the normal communication protocol between the Mini CO SSPA and a host computer over RS232/RS485 serial interface. Serial port settings on the host computer must be configured for 8 bit data at no parity, with 1 stop bit. The baud rate should match the selected baud rate parameter on the SSPA unit.

    The Mini CO SSPA supports several IP network protocols to provide a full featured remote M&C interface over an Ethernet LAN: • IPNet protocol – redirection of standard Paradise Datacom LLC serial protocol over UDP transport layer protocol. This protocol is fully supported in Paradise Datacom’s Universal M&C software.
  • Page 71: Figure 8-6: Udp Redirect Frame Example

    The number of the retransmissions is user configurable. The Paradise Datacom SSPA Ethernet IP interface can use UDP ports from 0 to 65553 for sending and receiving. The receiving port needs to be specified through the front panel menu.
