2. Introduction
WARNING: RF Radiation Hazard - This stabilized antenna system is designed to be used with
transmit/receive equipment manufactured by others. Refer to the documentation supplied by the
manufacturer which will describe potential hazards, including exposure to RF radiation, associated with the
improper use of the transmit/receive equipment. Note that the transmit/receive equipment will operate
independently of the stabilized antenna system.
The ultimate responsibility for safety rests with the facility operator and the individuals who work
on the system.
2.1. General System Description
Your system includes a fully stabilized antenna that has been designed and manufactured so as to be
inherently reliable, easy to maintain, and simple to operate. The equipment essentially permits unattended
operation except for start-ups or when changing to different transponders, or satellites.
2.2. Purpose
This shipboard Transmit-Receive (TXRX) system provides you with two-way satellite voice/data broadband
communications while underway on an ocean-going vessel. This can be used to provide a wide variety of
telephone, fax and high speed data applications. Your antenna system can transmit to and receive from any
desired C-band satellite which has adequate signal coverage in your current geographic area. This input will
be distributed to your satellite modem and then to all of your other below decks computer, fax and telephone
equipment.
2.3. Other Inputs to the System
Multi-conductor cables from Ship’s Gyro Compass, GPS, phone, fax and computer equipment may be
connected in the system.
2.4. System Components
This TXRX system consists of two major groups of equipment: an above-decks group and a below-decks
group. Each group is comprised of, but is not limited to, the items listed below. All equipment comprising the
Above Decks is incorporated inside the radome assembly and is integrated into a single operational entity.
For inputs, this system requires only an unobstructed line-of-sight view to the satellite, Gyro Compass input
and AC electrical power.
For more information about these components, refer to the Basic System Information section of this manual.
A. Above-Decks Equipment (ADE) Group
1. Stabilized antenna pedestal
2. Antenna Reflector
3. C-Band Feed Assembly with LNB(s)
4. C-Band RF Equipment which may include C-Band High Power Amplifier(s)
5. Ku-Band Feed Assembly with LNB(s)
6. Ku-Band RF Equipment which may include C-Band High Power Amplifier(s)
7. Radome Assembly
B. Below-Decks Equipment Group
1. Media Xchange Point (MXP)
2. Splitter with desired number of outputs (one output to the ACU and one output to the Satellite
Modem are required).
