SNV-12 Operations Manual
5-17
The following scenario illustrates the importance of the STARS algorithm:
Assume a mobile operator transmits a request for vital information from the dispatcher. His
transmission reaches three satellite receivers in the voting system, and all three receivers have
associated transmitters. The SNV-12 detects the absence of pilot tone at these three receivers,
making all three eligible for voting. The voter‟s signal quality measurements show that site #1
is a bit better than site #2, and site #3, which is far away, has a barely intelligible signal. Site #
1 is voted and the dispatcher hears the mobile operator‟s request. Now it‟s important that the
dispatcher‟s response be relayed through the transmitter at site #1, but without the STARS
system, it‟s possible that the dispatcher‟s reply will be routed to site #3.
This can easily happen if the pilot tone of the receiver at site #3 recovers more slowly than the
pilot tones of the other two. This implies that following the end of the mobile transmission; site
#3 will take longer to indicate it has become squelched. For this short time, Site #3 is the only
unsquelched site, and as the only site then eligible for voting, the barely intelligible site #3 is
momentarily voted. A standard, non-STARS, transmitter steering function would then route
the dispatcher‟s message to the last voted site: the distant site #3. STARS, however, will
correctly exclude site #3 as having been voted for only a short period of time at the end of the
overall transmission from the mobile operator, and the dispatcher‟s reply will be correctly sent
via the nearby transmitter at site #1.
The STARS chosen site is indicated by the TX SEL LED on an SVM‟s front panel. In
addition, rear panel outputs are available that allow the Transmit Select status to be sent to
external equipment.
When receiver group operation is enabled along with transmitter steering, the STARS
algorithm will steer the dispatcher‟s reply to either the entire group that contained the best-
voted receiver, or only to the group‟s selected primary site transmitter.
Console transmissions are sent to the STARS selected site or RX Group until the Holdover
Timer expires. See Section 5.17.
5.19.2
Automatic TX Steering Related to RX Group Designations
See “Receiver / Transmitter Groups”, Section 5.18. If STARS is enabled and group numbers
for a collection of sites designated, whenever any site in a group is last/best voted, subsequent
console transmissions are automatically steered to all transmit-eligible sites the group.
