  • Page 39: Chapter 1. Introduction

    Comtech EF Data’s LPOD C-/Ku-Band Outdoor Amplifier/Block Up Converter (BUC) – referred to throughout this manual as the LPOD – delivers its rated power, guaranteed, to the transmit waveguide flange at the 1 dB compression point. It provides a cost effective, more reliable replacement for Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) amplifiers in satellite communications.

  • Page 40: Functional Description

    1.3.3 Built-in Redundancy Controller The LPOD has the ability to function as a 1:1 (one backup for one primary) redundant controller in a redundant mode without the use of an external device. The optional redundancy configuration is implemented by attaching a ganged waveguide/coax transfer switch(es) to the input and output connectors of the amplifiers, using a combination coaxial cable and waveguide kit.

  • Page 41: Smart Buc" Functionality

    1.3.7 Optional LNB Support The LPOD was designed with the evolution of L-band systems in mind. No longer relegated to low power single carrier installations, L-band IF topologies are now found in larger multi-carrier installations. A challenge presented by multi-carrier L-band systems is the presence of DC and reference components on the Tx/Rx L-band interfaces.

  • Page 42: Theory Of Operation

    Introduction MN-LPOD Theory of Operation 1.4.1 SSPA Block Diagrams Block diagrams for the LPOD PS-1 and PS-2 SSPAs are shown in Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3. The major components of an LPOD unit are: • SSPA Module • Cooling System •...

  • Page 43: Sspa Module

    LPOD C-/Ku-Band Outdoor Amplifier / Block Up Converter (BUC) Revision 3 Introduction MN-LPOD Figure 1-3. LPOD PS-2 Block Diagram 1.4.2 SSPA Module The amplifier module performs the core function of the unit. An isolator is at the RF input to ensure good voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).

  • Page 44: Cooling System

    1.4.3 Cooling System The LPOD contains a robust heat sink and thermal design to maintain a low operating temperature. The LPOD PS-1 contains one temperature-controlled fan, and the LPOD PS-2 contains two temperature-controlled fans that are monitored by the M&C board. The fans draw cool outside air in across the power supply and specialized heat sink.

  • Page 45: Block Up Converter (Buc) Input

    Unlike most BUCs, no DC bias voltage should be provided on the center conductor of the L-Band coax. In addition, the LPOD is available with an internal 10 MHz reference. As, such, no 10 MHz reference is required on the center conductor of the L-Band coax. If a reference is provided on the coax, the internal reference will detect and lock to it.

    “SNMPv1” traps are to be used. 4.3.2 SNMP Community Strings The LPOD uses community strings as a password scheme that provides authentication before gaining access to the LPOD agent’s MIBs. In “SNMP v1/v2c”, the community string is sent unencrypted in the SNMP packets. Caution must be taken by the network administrator to ensure that SNMP packets travel only over a secure and private network if security is a concern.

  • Page 71: 4.3.3 Snmp Traps

    The LPOD has the ability to send out SNMP traps when certain events occur in the unit. The LPOD sends out traps when a fault occurs in the unit. A trap is sent both when a fault occurs and is cleared.

  • Page 95: Appendix A. 1:1 Redundancy

    The LPOD redundant mode does not specify which unit must be the backup (offline) unit. Instead, the status of the backup (offline) and active (online) units are determined by the waveguide switch position.
  • Page 96 LPOD C-/Ku-Band Outdoor Amplifier/ Block Up Converter (BUC) Revision 3 Appendix A MN-LPOD Redundant mode allows the backup (offline) unit to take control of the redundant system and force a redundant switchover when there is a problem with the active (online) unit. Currently, 1:1 redundancy is supported with either transmit switching or transmit and receive switching.

    LPOD C- / Ku-Band Outdoor Amplifier/ Block Up Converter (BUC) Revision 3 Appendix B MN-LPOD Remote Control Protocol and Structure This section describes the protocol and message command set for remote monitor and control of the LPOD. The electrical interface is either an RS-485 multi-drop bus (for the control of many devices) or an RS-232 connection (for the control of a single device), and data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form, using ASCII characters.
