ESCRIPTION
The CSAT5060, otherwise referred to as, 'the CSAT" is designed for use in communication
systems, or in satellite uplink data systems, for the reception of SCPC/MCPC, DAMA, and
TDMA communication signals. It also can be used in communications system applications with
full transponder HDTV and analog TV.
The CSAT is environmentally sealed and is designed to be hard mounted on or near the antenna
structure. A covered cooling fan is mounted on the outside of the unit to maintain a reduced
operating temperature for enhanced reliability.
WARNING
The CSAT delivers the full rated power measured at the 1 dB compression point and at the output
flange. The dual synthesizers in the unit deliver phase noise performance exceeding Intelsat
specification. The design of the unit providers a high TOI that allows multi-carrier applications
without the concerns associated with lower power environments.

Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION

The Downconverter RF input connector is wired to supply DC voltage to an
LNA. This voltage is capable of damaging any test equipment connected to the
connector. Do not connect test equipment to this connector without a coaxial DC
block between the connector and the test equipment.
