    4.1 AC / DC Converter The prime AC input power is delivered to a switching converter module that produces 300 VDC. This module is an auto-sensing, power factor corrected front end that has proven reli- ability and allows the amplifier system to operate over a wide variety of input power conditions encountered around the world.

  • Page 49: Rf Output (J2)

    For example, if a 50 W Ku Band Compact Outdoor amplifier is used in a system it has a P 47.0 dBm. Therefore the maximum input power should be limited to -28 dBm. Slightly higher input power levels will not damage the amplifier but will result in higher levels of distortion in the output signal.

  • Page 66: Spurious

    7.1.2 Spurious Spurious signals are undesirable byproducts of amplifiers caused by nonlinearities within the amplifier and other system level components such as switch mode power supplies. These unwanted signals cause signal management problems in system applications. Out of band spurious signals cause interference to other pieces of equipment. See Figure 7-1, item [2]. 7.1.3 Input Return Loss The input return loss is measured in all production amplifiers.

    Section 8: Maintenance & Troubleshooting 8.0 Introduction This section describes some of the standard maintenance practices that can be performed on the Compact Outdoor Amplifier and tips to troubleshoot common customer issues. 8.1 Cooling System Maintenance It is recommended that the cooling system be checked at least once per month. This involves visually inspecting the fan intakes to make sure that there is no obstructions over the intake.

  • Page 72: Fan Replacement

    It is possible to modify an older Compact Outdoor SSPA to be fitted with a three fan cooling fan assembly in place of a two fan assembly. This should be done by a Teledyne Paradise Datacom technician, using the procedure outlined in drawing number 206573.

  • Page 73: Sspa Unit Powers Up, Led Lamp Glows Green, But No Rf Output Is Present

    8.3.3 SSPA unit powers up, LED lamp glows green, but no RF output signal is present Possible causes: The SSPA is muted by an external signal or by an internal setting. The input RF signal is too low. The input signal is out of band. Possible solutions: Make sure the J4 connector has a jumper installed between pins B and V (refer to Table 3-1 or Table 3-2).

These include 1:1 and 1:2 as well as 1:1 with L-Band Block Up Converters. The Compact Outdoor Amplifier has a built-in 1:1 redundancy controller, allowing it to be used in 1:1 redundant systems without a separate external controller.

  • Page 76: Figure 9-3: 1:1 Redundant System With L Band Input

    The system shown in Figure 9-3 uses the same concept of the power splitter on the RF input. In this case the Compact Outdoor amplifiers are equipped with L-Band block up converters. L-Band input amplifiers use phase locked oscillators as the local oscillator to the up converter. Such systems must use a splitter at the input instead of a switch so that the reference input is always available to the standby amplifier.

  • Page 77: Compact Outdoor Amplifier In 1:1 Redundancy

    The Compact Outdoor Amplifier is ideally suited for a self-contained and cost effective 1:1 redundant system. Each Compact Outdoor Amplifier has a built-in 1:1 redundant controller. The controller is activated via computer command from the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Universal M&C application. The Compact Outdoor Amplifier may be purchased as a redundant system or upgraded in the field from a single thread amplifier to a 1:1 redundant system.

  • Page 78: Hardware Setup

    9.1.1 Hardware Setup The hardware setup for a Compact Outdoor 1:1 Redundant System is very simple and involves the addition of (2) cables along with a redundancy switch. A schematic diagram of the redundancy setup is shown in Figure 9-5. Figure 9-5: 1:1 Redundant System with Link Cable and Switch Cable installed The Link Cable is a simple (3) conductor crossover cable that allows the system to pass command and control between amplifiers.

  • Page 79: Software Setup

    To instruct the Compact Outdoor Amplifier to operate in redundancy it is necessary to temporarily connect it to a PC running the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Monitor and Control Software to set up the redundant configuration. There are three basic modes of Redundant System communication.

  • Page 80: Figure 9-7: M&C Program "Sspa Settings" Window

    Each amplifier can be configured for redundancy by the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Universal M&C software that ships along with each unit. Using the Quick-Start cable, connect each amplifier to the PC and run the M&C program. Select the “Settings” tab from the main form.
  • Page 81 The Standby amplifier can be muted to have a “Cold Standby” condition. It keeps the SSPA module powered down for power savings while the microprocessor and fans remain operational. SSPAs with Parallel I/O board firmware version 3.50 or beyond are provided with a true cold standby mode.

    In applications requiring remote monitor and control of the redundant system, the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Universal M&C program has a control panel that can be used for this purpose. To enable the 1:1 system to operate with the remote control software, first configure each amplifier for 1:1 redundant operation as previously described in the Stand-Alone 1:1 Redundant System section.
