Tri-Band Satellite Simulator - TSC Innovation

1 Tri-Band Satellite SimulatorModel No. TSS-CXKA training test-bed and evaluation tool forsatellite earth terminals DescriptionDesigned for use as a training test-bed. The TSS-CXK Tri-Band Satellite Simulator is used by operations personnel toset-up and operate flyaway Tri-Band Satellite earth terminalsin the field under realistic operating conditions without theneed for an actual Satellite . Use of the Satellite Networkssimulator, in lieu of a Satellite , permits signal acquisition bythe earth terminal, antenna pointing, uplink poweradjustment, signal reception, link closure andcommunications system adjustment to establish, acceptablebit error rates, with very low Satellite terminal Satellite Networks Satellite Simulator is a broad bandRF-to-RF converter that translates an input uplink frequencyband to an output down link frequency band , simulatingthe Satellite up and down link.

2 Superior transmissioncharacteristics and low phase noise accommodates digitaldata that would normally be transmitted via DSCS (X- band )or Commercial (C- band and Ku- band ) TSS-CXK Satellite Simulator contains built in widebandinput and output horn antennas. The nominal TSS-CXKconversion gain, including antenna gains, is adjustablefrom -10 dB to -40 dB. Assuming a meter earthterminal under test, with a range in the order of 300 feetbetween the terminal and the TSS-CXK, a received C/KTin the order of 75 dB-Hz can be achieved with a terminalcarrier power in the order of only a few milliwatts (exactlevels depend on the frequency of operation, and thespecific terminal parameters).
