C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Introduction MN/CSAT5060.IOM 1.3 RF S IGNAL ONVERSION 1.3.1 D OWNCONVERTER The RF input to the Downconverter is in the 3400 to 4200 MHz frequency range at a typical level of -45 dBm. The input signal is mixed down to the 1110 MHz IF in the first conversion mixer. High side LO injection is used for this mixing process.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Introduction MN/CSAT5060.IOM 1.3.2 U PCONVERTER The RF input to the Upconverter is at 70 ± 18 MHz at a typical level of -35 dBm which would provide an output power back-off of 8 dB. In operation, the input signal is mixed up to the 1250 MHz IF in the first conversion mixer operating at a fixed frequency with low side LO injection at 1180 MHz provided by the Upconverter IFLO.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Introduction MN/CSAT5060.IOM 1.4 M & C ONITOR ONTROL The Monitor & Control (M&C) unit is designed to monitor the functions of the transceiver, and provide the control for remote command inputs to the Up and Down converter sections.

Chapter 4. SYSTEM OPERATION Turning On the CSAT The CSAT does not contain a ‘Power On/Off’ switch. The CSAT is powered ON by connecting the J3 “AC Power” connector to the appropriate prime power source. See Section 1 for detailed requirements for the ‘prime power source’.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Connector Pinouts MN/CSAT5060.IOM 4.2.2 Attenuation Both the Receiver attenuation and the Transmitter attenuation are user configurable. The receiver attenuation can be selected between 00.00 and 25.00 dB in 0.25 dB increments. The transmitter attenuation can be selected between 00.00 and 25.00 dB in 0.25 dB increments.
Example(s): AMP=1 4.2.7 Channel Slope Adjust Mode Comtech EF Data’s CSAT transceivers provide two operating modes for the Receiver IF and Transmitter RF output channel slopes; ‘Calibrated’ and ‘Manual’ modes. • In Calibrated mode, the CSAT firmware uses a calibration ‘lookup’...
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Connector Pinouts MN/CSAT5060.IOM 4.2.8 Channel Slope Adjust Both the Rx IF output and the Tx RF output channel slopes are user controllable. • The receiver channel slope can be varied for approximately 2dB of positive slope. The parameter for controlling this is the ‘Down Slope Adjust’, which can be varied from 0.0 to 1.0 in 0.1 steps.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Connector Pinouts MN/CSAT5060.IOM 4.2.11 Cold Start Function The CSAT provides an optional ‘Cold Start’ feature that will ensure that the internal 10MHz reference signal is at a stable temperature prior to allowing the RF and IF outputs to be turned ON. A fixed cold start interval of 15 minutes is used.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Connector Pinouts MN/CSAT5060.IOM 4.2.13 LNA Current Source The CSAT has the circuitry necessary to source current, at 11 Vdc, up the ‘RF IN port’ J7, to power a LNA. This current source can be turned ON/OFF via the user.
MN/CSAT5060.IOM 4.2.16 Redundancy Controller Auto/Manual The Operating mode of the Comtech EF Data Redundant Switch Unit (RSU- 5060) can be set via a command to the ONLINE CSAT. The RSU-5060 initializes to the AUTO mode when power is first applied.

Chapter 5. REDUNDANT SYSTEMS The C-Band Transceiver is capable of operating in both stand-alone and redundant configurations. The CSAT fully redundant system provides automatic detection, switching, and status for both its configuration and health. The system is designed such that stand-alone operation is a functional sub-set of the fully redundant CSAT system. This provides the user with transparent functionality regardless of the mode or complexity in which the system has been setup to operate.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Redundant Systems MN/CSAT5060.IOM 5.1.1 RSU-5060 I NTERFACES 5.1.1.1 Electrical Interface The RSU-5060 contains five primary electrical control interface connectors, (J1 through J5) and six IF signal connectors (J6 through J11).

C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Redundant Systems MN/CSAT5060.IOM 5.1.1.7 Tx IF Interfaces, J6, J7, and J8 The Tx IF input signal is fed from the customer’s equipment to the RSU-5060 at connector J6. The RSU-5060 contains a power splitter which feeds the IF input signal to both CSAT A and CSAT B via the J7 and J8 connectors.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Redundant Systems MN/CSAT5060.IOM RSU-5060 Operation The RSU-5060 is designed to provide single-point control for both the Tx and Rx transfer switches (Waveguide Switches). In addition, the RSU-5060 provides the customer with a single interface connection to the M&C system. Through this interface the customer can access and control all configuration, monitor and faults status parameters of both CSAT’s.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Redundant Systems MN/CSAT5060.IOM 5.2.1 RS-485 Interface The RSU-5060 provides a single point interface for the customer’s M&C system by pig tailing the 4-wire RS-485 input to J5 and passing it out on both the J1 and J3 interface connectors.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Redundant Systems MN/CSAT5060.IOM 5.2.3 SWITCH CMD Signal Pin V on the J5 connector is the ‘SWITCH CMD’ input pin. The user can use this signal to command the RSU-5060 to change the position of both the Tx and Rx transfer switches.
Redundant Systems MN/CSAT5060.IOM Configuring A Redundant System Comtech EF Data’s Redundant CSAT system was designed to reduce the workload of a Customer M&C system in two manners. • First, the RSU-5060 can be configured to automatically monitor the status of the two CSAT’s and always keep the unfaulted CSAT ONLINE.
Chapter 6. REMOTE CONTROL Introduction This document describes the protocol and message repertoire for remote monitor and control of the CSAT outdoor terminal. 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.
C-Band Transceiver Revision 1 Remote Control MN/CSAT5060.IOM Basic Protocol Whether in RS-232 or RS-485 mode, all data is transmitted half-duplex as asynchronous serial characters suitable for transmission and reception by a UART. In this case, the asynchronous character format is fixed at: •...
