Section 7: Internal 1:2 Phase Combined
Mode Operation
7.0 General Information
Teledyne Paradise Datacom 6RU SSPA units running firmware version 4.99 or later
can be configured to form an internally controlled 1:2 Phase Combined redundancy
system.
This configuration provides switching and fault analysis logic as well as simultaneous
mute and attenuation control of the three system SSPAs without the use of an external
controller.
In this mode, three amplifiers, two switches and a waveguide combiner comprise the
system. The output power of two of the amplifiers is increased through the combiner.
The output of the third amplifier is directed to a dummy load. If one of the two online
amplifiers experiences a fault condition, the faulted amplifier is switched to the dummy
load, and the standby amplifier is switched online.
7.1 Theory of Operation
Internal 1:2 Phase Combined mode allows both automatic and manual switchover to a
standby SSPA in case one of the online units develops a fault condition. The system
also allows the operator to manually select the online/standby status of each SSPA.
The online/standby status of each SSPA can be verified by observing the “Unit 1” LED
light on the front panel (see
Figure 7-1
) or by browsing to the corresponding front
panel menu display. SSPA status information is also available over remote control
protocol.
Note:
Only an online amplifier can change its online status; pressing the
Unit 1 key on the standby amplifier will not change the online/standby
status.
