  • Page 45: Section 5: Redundant System Operation

    Section 5: Redundant System Operation 5.0 Redundant System Concepts The High Power 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 High Power 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 46: Figure 5-3: 1:1 Redundant System With L Band Input

    The system shown in Figure 5-3 uses the same concept of the power splitter on the RF input. In this case the High Power 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 47: High Power Outdoor Amplifier In 1:1 Redundancy

    The High Power Outdoor Amplifier is ideally suited for a self-contained and cost effective 1:1 redundant system. Each amplifier has a built-in 1:1 redundant controller. The controller is activated via computer command from the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Universal M&C application. The High Power Outdoor Amplifier may be purchased as a redundant system or upgraded in the field from a single thread amplifier to a 1:1 redundant system.

  • Page 48: Hardware Setup

    5.1.1 Hardware Setup The hardware setup for a High Power Outdoor 1:1 Redundant System is very simple and involves the addition of (2) cables along with a redundancy switch. A schematic diagram of the redundancy setup is shown in Figure 5-5. Figure 5-5: Schematic, 1:1 Redundant High Power Outdoor System The Link Cable is a simple (3) conductor crossover cable that allows the system to pass com- mand and control between amplifiers.

  • Page 49: Software Setup

    To instruct the High Power Outdoor Amplifier to operate in redundancy it is necessary to temporarily connect it to a PC running the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Monitor and Control Software to set up the redundant configuration. There are three basic modes of Redundant System communication.

  • Page 50: Figure 5-7: M&C Program "Sspa Settings" Window

    Each amplifier can be configured for redundancy by the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Univer- sal M&C software that ships along with each unit. Using the Quick-Start cable, connect each amplifier to the PC and run the M&C program. Select the “Settings” tab from the main form.
  • Page 51 The Standby amplifier can be muted to have a “Cold Standby” condition. It keeps the SSPA module powered down for power savings while the microprocessor and fans remain opera- tional. SSPAs with Parallel I/O board firmware version 3.50 or beyond are provided with a true cold standby mode.

  • Page 52: Pc Control Using Rs232 And Paradise M&C Software

    5.1.2.2 PC Control using RS232 and Paradise M&C Software In applications requiring remote monitor and control of the redundant system, the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Universal M&C program has a control panel that can be used for this pur- pose. To enable the 1:1 system to operate with the remote control software, first configure each amplifier for 1:1 redundant operation as previously described in the Stand-Alone 1:1 Re- dundant System section.

  • Page 53: Figure 5-9: Add New Compact Outdoor Sspa Window

    From this screen choose the COM port and baud rate. The factory default baud rate is 9600. If a single SSPA is used the Global network address setting should be used. After the COM port has been selected, and the instance created, the “Status” window will be displayed.

    5.2 High Power Outdoor SSPA in 1:2 Redundancy The High Power Outdoor Amplifier can also be configured in 1:2 Redundant Systems. A 1:2 Redundant System typically has two transmit paths, one on a horizontal polarity and the other on a vertical polarity. The system provides automatic switchover to the spare SSPA to either polarization path in case of a primary SSPA malfunction.

  • Page 60: Hardware Setup

    If the user is using an amplifier not configured for a redun- dant system, the amplifier settings must be changed for such use. Temporarily connect the amplifier to a PC running the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Universal M&C Software to set up the redundant configuration.

  • Page 61: Pc Control Using Universal M&C Software

    The above settings are valid as soon as the operator sets them on the SSPA Settings win- dow. The SSPA’s redundant operation can be verified by monitoring the RF Switch Fault indi- cator. 5.2.2.1 PC Control using Universal M&C Software When using RS-232 or RS-485, a separate COM port will be required for each amplifier.

    Section 6: Phase Combined Systems 6.0 Phase Combining Overview Phase combining amplifiers has long been a popular means of increasing the output power of an amplifier system. Under high power microwave conditions it is common to utilize some form of waveguide hybrid coupler to combine the output power of two amplifiers. This coupler is generally a waveguide tee such as a four port magic tee.

If the amplifier is being operated in an environment that produces a large amount of dust and debris, this check should be performed more frequently.

  • Page 70: Fan Replacement

    Perform the following procedure when cleaning the amplifier’s fan assemblies and heatsink. 1. Using a Philips head screw driver, loosen the thumbscrews holding the fan tray in place. The intake fans use eight (8) thumbscrews; the exhaust fans use two (2) thumbscrews.
  • Page 71 The exhaust fan assemblies are located on the same side of the amplifier as the handles. The exhaust fan assemblies use one (1) fan to blow air out of the amplifier enclosure. The exhaust fan power cable has a circular MIL connector (MS3116F8-3P) which connects to the circular MIL connector (MS3112E8-3S) on the inside of the amplifier enclosure.

    The amplifier supports several IP network protocols to provide a full featured remote M&C interface over an Ethernet LAN: 1. IPNet protocol – redirection of standard Teledyne Paradise Datacom LLC serial protocol over UDP transport layer protocol. This protocol is fully supported in Tele- dyne Paradise Datacom’s Universal M&C software.

  • Page 88: Figure 8-6: Udp Redirect Frame Example

    The number of the retransmissions is user configurable. The Teledyne 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.
