1.2 Description of Equipment
1.2.1 Functional Description
The equalizer is intended to be used in ground-based satellite transmit (TX) and receive
(RX) communications systems. It provides delay equalization to compensate for non-
linear delay distortions by:
•
Up and Down Converters
•
High Power Amplifiers
•
High Power Multiplex Combiners
•
Satellite Filters
•
Waveguide
The equalizer is designed as a stand-alone device that can be installed in a 70 or
140 MHz signal path to provide delay equalization of the uplink or downlink.
1.2.2 Mechanical Description
The equalizer is contained in a 1.75 inch (4.4 cm) tall, slide-mounted drawer designed to
mount directly in a standard Electronics Industries Association (EIA) equipment rack or
cabinet. The drawer, when fully extended on its slides, permits rear panel connector
access.
A removable top cover, secured to the chassis with two screws, provides access to the
internal modules.
