LPOD C-, X-, or Ku-Band Outdoor Amplifier / Block Up Converter (BUC)
MN-LPOD
Introduction
Revision 14
1–9
The unit is capable of EIA-232, EIA-485, or Ethernet remote communication. A
discrete mute control and relay status output is also available.
The M&C system monitors the fan speed (PS 2 only), unit temperature, all power
supply voltages, power transistor currents, output power, etc. Should a critical
monitored parameter fail, the unit will mute the RF signal and report a fault. The
details of the fault can be accessed via remote communication.
The M&C is also capable of acting as a controller in a 1:1 redundant system.
When configured as the back-up SSPA in such a system, it communicates with the
other SSPA and toggles the waveguide switches as necessary.
