Transmit filtering Firmware prior to 1.4.0: Root-Raised Cosine, alpha = 0.35 (fixed)
Firmware 1.4.0 or later: Root-Raised Cosine, alpha = 0.35 and 0.25 – front panel/software selectable
See graph of output spectrum provided at the end of this section
Scrambling IDR Mode, no RS, – per ITU V.35 (Intelsat variant)
IBS mode, no RS – per IESS-309, externally frame synchronized
Transparent Closed Network mode, no RS or Turbo coding – per ITU V.35 (Intelsat variant)
EDMAC mode, no RS coding – externally frame synchronized – proprietary
Turbo Product Code/LDPC/VersaFEC modes – externally frame synchronized – proprietary
All RS modes – externally frame synchronized per IESS-308/309/310
External Reference As an input: 1, 2, 5 or 10MHz –6dBm to +10dBm (nom. 50/75 Ω, BNC female connector)
As an output: 10MHz, 2.7V peak-to-peak ±0.4V, low impedance output
(The Ext. reference phase locks Tx and Rx synthesizers, and all baseband clock generation)
Harmonics/spurious Better than –60 dBc/4 kHz (typically <-65 dBc/4kHz)
measured from 1-500 MHz (50-180 MHz band)
measured F
0
±500 MHz (950-2000 MHz band)
Transmit on/off ratio -60 dBc minimum
Output phase noise < 0.48 0 rms double sided, 100 Hz to 1MHz (minimum of 16 dB better overall than the INTELSAT IESS-308/309 requirement)
dB/Hz Frequency Offset
-63.0 100 Hz
-73.0 1 kHz
-83.0 10 kHz
-93.0 100 kHz
Fundamental AC line spurious is –42 dBc or lower
The sum of all other single sideband spurious, from 0 to 0.75 x symbol rate, is –48 dBc or lower
Output power 950-2000 MHz band: 0 to –40 dBm, 0.1 dB steps – manual mode. See AUPC section also
50-180 MHz band: 0 to –25 dBm, 0.1 dB steps – manual mode. See AUPC section also
Power accuracy 950-2000 MHz band:
±0.7dB over frequency, data rate, modulation type and temperature range 15-35 o C
±1.0 dB over frequency, data rate, modulation type and temperature range 0-50 o C
50-180 MHz band:
±0.5dB over frequency, data rate, modulation type and temperature range 15-35 o C
±0.8dB over frequency, data rate, modulation type and temperature range 0-50 o C
Output impedance 950-2000 MHz band: 50Ω, 19 dB minimum return loss (21 dB typical)
50-180 MHz band: 50Ω, or 75Ω 16 dB minimum return loss (18 dB typical)
Output connector 950-2000 MHz band: Type N female
50-180 MHz band: BNC female
Clocking options Internal, ±0.06 ppm (SCT)
External, locking over a ±100 ppm range (TT)
Loop timing (Rx satellite clock) – supports asymmetric operation – Rx and Tx data rates need not be identical
External Clock
G.703 Clock Extension mode – internal ST clock can be slaved to an external T1 or E1 G.703 signal, and a G.703 timing
signal re-constituted at the distant end of the link, regardless of the actual link data rate
External TX Carrier Off By TTL 'low' signal or external contact closure – hardware function automatically over-rides processor
BUC Reference
(10 MHz):
Phase Noise
On center conductor of L-Band output connector; 10.0 MHz ± 0.06 ppm (internal reference selected)
0.0 dBm, ± 3 dB; programmable ON/OFF

BUC Supply Voltage Standard unit has no BUC supply.
Optional BUC Supply:
• 24VDC, 4.17 Amps max., 100W
• 48VDC, 3.125 Amps max., 150W @ 50 o C (180W @ 30 o C)
• Supplied through Tx IF center conductor and selectable ON/OFF via M&C control.
BUC Current Monitor Minimum/maximum programmable current alarm thresholds.
Tx Carrier ON Delay Selectable feature power on to allow internal ovenized reference to stabilize before turning on Tx carrier. Intelligent algorithm
minimizes delay time based on internal temperature at power-up.
BUC Monitoring Power level, temperature, power class, PLL lock.
Uses ND Satcom/Global VSAT Forum specification for FSK control and monitoring.
