Table 1-1. Features
Parameter Description
Automatic Gain Control The KST-2000L incorporates a closed loop control system that
maintains the system’s conversion gain (as measured from the
IF input to the Ku-Band SSPA output) at the user’s preset
value despite the effects of temperature, aging, and cable loss.
IF Input/Output of 70 /140 MHz Optional
Selectable Serial
Communication There are several selectable serial communications protocols
and bandwidths:
•
EIA-232, EIA-485, or EIA-422 half-duplex
• Baud Rate = 300 to 19200
L-Band RX Power Monitor Output An isolated output covers the 950 to 1700 MHz downlink
bands.
External LED Indicators for
Power On and Fault Indications • A blinking GREEN LED indicates prime power ON.
• A steady GREEN LED indicates TX RF Power ON.
• A RED LED indicates a summary fault.
Power Factor Corrected Internal
Power Supply All power supply is power factor corrected and meets all CE
Mark requirements.
HPA Options The converter has built-in monitor and control circuitry and
functions that operate with the product line Solid-State Power
Amplifiers (SSPAs) with 2 or 4 W output power
Industry Standards • IESS 308 and IESS 309
• FCC radiated emissions requirements
• CE Mark
The system components are completely weatherproof units
designed for the harsh environments of antenna-mounted
systems. The system’s operating parameters can be monitored
and controlled using Windows™ based M&C software with a
personal computer or a hand held KP-10, as described in
Chapter 3.
