The downconverters unit with 1 + 1 redundancy is a basic chassis on which are located: controller board, indicator, redundancy board, RF power divider and IF signal switch. The downconverters unit with 1 + 1 redundancy also includes two replacement blocks - Block A and Block B.
To ensure a high degree of reliability (readiness of the Downconverter unit) automatic hot redundancy of the converter blocks and power supplies is provided according to the 1 + 1 scheme.
The design of the Downconverter unit assumes automatic switching to the standby unit when one of the units fails and allows quick failed block replacement without users interruption of maintenance for the spare that is included in the delivery set.
KEY FEATURES:
- The signal in the receiver passes through three stages of filtration.
- To ensure a high degree of reliability (readiness of the downconverter unit) automatic hot redundancy of converter units and power supply units is provided according to the 1 + 1 scheme.
- Replacement blocks are frequency converters with double conversion L / 2400 MHz / 70 MHz.
- The replacement blocks, except the frequency converter modules, also include the network switching power supplies (AC/DC converters) and detector modules.
- The detectors module of the replaceable block has LED indicators (on the back panel) of the input RF signal and the output IF signal levels.
- The parameters of downconverter unit can be controlled by buttons on the front panel. Set parameters can be controlled by LCD.
- The downconverters unit with 1 + 1 redundancy can be mounted in standard 19" rack. It has a vertical size of 1U.
MAIN FUNCTIONS:
- Frequencies converting into L-band when operating in the satellite communication and television L, S, C, X and Ku-bands systems to the standard 70 MHz IF signal for further processing on this IF.
- Automatically turns on the backup unit when one of the units fails and allows a quick replacement without users interrupting the maintenance of the failed block to the spare.
- The circuit that generates the ALARM signal analyzes four input signals: the RF level, the IF level, and the two loop lock signals of the first and second conversion stages.
- ALARM signals are generated in the detector modules which are fed to the backup board on the base chassis to decide which of the replacement blocks is currently active.
- To adjust the gain factor of the downconverter module, a variable step attenuator is used in the radio frequency path with a control depth of 30 dB. Adjustment of attenuation introduced by the attenuator is made by either keys on the front panel or remotely.
