Recommended Test Equipment 

 
 

The following equipment or equivalent is recommended for installation and system alignment: 

 
 

Equipment Type 

 

 

Spectrum Analyzer  

 

 

HP8563E 

Digital 

Voltmeter 

 

  Fluke 

8050 

Adapter Waveguide to coax  

 

C or Ku-band 

RF cables  

 

 

 

With calibrated insertion loss up to 15GHz 

40 dB attenuator  

 

 

High Power to match HPA output. 

 
Assortment of cables, connectors and adapters (calibrated up to 18 GHz). 

 

 

Ensure that the BUC TX output power is disabled to prevent accidental transmission interference 
with adjacent satellites or transponders before attempting to align or performing any other 
operation involving the ODU. Before attempting any system change, carefully evaluate the possible 
effects of the transmitted signal.
