SSBP-3000C 1. SAFETY To prevent the risk of injury to personnel or loss related to equipment malfunction, ADVANTECH uses the following symbols throughout this document to indicate safety-related information. WARNING: This indicates a hazardous procedure that may result in serious injury or death CAUTION: if not performed properly. - Page 8 The maximum permissible levels of RF exposure are quite low compared to the power levels emitted by the transmitters built by Advantech (e.g. less than 10 mW versus 10 to 500 W for the units). The maximum permissible levels are currently being studied by a number of organisations.

Page 9: General Information
2. GENERAL INFORMATION 2.1 INTRODUCTION The ARMU-LC200-BRN , part of the SSPB-3000C family, is a 200-Watt L-Band to C-Band Solid State Up-Converter (SSPB) designed for satellite up-link communication systems. The SSPB is an indoor unit conceived for mounting into a standard 19-inch rack. The RF output should be connected to an antenna using a waveguide system. -

Page 11: Major Components And Their Function
SSBP-3000C 3. MAJOR COMPONENTS AND THEIR FUNCTION This Section describes the major components and their functions within the SSPB unit. The SSPB incorporates an L-Band to C-Band Up-Converter module, a Power Amplifier module, a Waveguide Arm assembly, a 10 MHz oscillator, a Main Controller board, a Power supply subsystem, a Current Sensor, a Cooling system and a Front Panel assembly. -
Page 12: Waveguide Arm Assembly
SSBP-3000C 3. Any of the GaAs FET devices fails (current is out of range) 3.3 WAVEGUIDE ARM ASSEMBLY The Waveguide Arm Assembly contains a forward power detector, a reverse power detector, a RF isolator, an output power coupler, and a waveguide band-pass filter. The forward power detector and the reverse power detector monitor the RF output power and the reflected power level and sends these detected signals to a Digital Power Monitor module, that converts these analogue signals into digital ones. -

SSBP-3000C 3.5.1 F AULT ETECTION AND NDICATION The unit will automatically go into a shutdown mode and send a message to all of the external interfaces when any one of the following occurs: 1. The local oscillator within an up-converter module is out of lock. 2. -
Page 14: Cooling System
SSBP-3000C 7. Current sensor. The main controller board also receives the +12 VDC low current from the power supply. The main power supply operates from an 180 - 264 VAC, 47-63 Hz power source. The secondary power supply provides multiple outputs for operating the L -Band/C-Band up- converter and the power amplifier modules. -
