OM20 Verification Testing

This Section assumes that the operator of the OM20 has sufficient knowledge of satellite system
operation to perform the verification tests. The use and/or tuning of the associated antenna
should be conducted in a safe manor and per the antenna manufactures guidelines. Precautions
should be taken as to not damage the OM20 and/or test/operational equipment that are connected
together. The brief testing described below is to verify the OM20 operation and does not
constitute operational testing over the Satellite. Refer to the Satellite Providers system
requirements and contact the Satellite Provider prior to radiating the system on any satellite.
Ensure that all operational parameters are correctly set to the system specification in the OM20.
Refer to

Section 4

of this document for further information on the OM20 Setup parameters.

3.3.1 TX Output Verification Test

Connect a Spectrum Analyzer to the TXRF output of the OM20. Verify that the modulator and
TX interface parameters of the OM20 are correctly set. Enable the modulator output. Verify that
the output frequency, symbol rate, and power level match the system setup parameters.

CAUTION

DC Voltage and/or High microwave energy may be present on the output
connector.
