Electrical Safety Notice

Double pole / neutral fusing is used on the prime power supply input.
This equipment has been designed to minimize exposure of personnel to hazards. For further information, contact the Comtech EF Data Customer Support Department. The operators and technicians must: Know how to work around, with, and on high voltage equipment. Exercise every precaution to ensure personnel safety. Exercise extreme care when working near high voltages. Be familiar with the warnings presented in this manual.
Installation Guidelines Regarding Power Line Quality

Comtech EF Data, being familiar with the varying quality of the AC power grid around the world, offers the following installation guidelines that should help ensure a reliable installation.
Surge suppression: High voltage surges can cause failure of the power supply. These surges are typically caused by circuit switching on the main AC power grid, erratic generator operation, and also by lightning strikes. While the HPOD does have built in surge suppression, if the unit will be installed in a location with questionable power grid quality, Comtech EF Data recommends installation of additional power conditioning/surge suppression at the power junction box. Grounding: The HPOD provides a grounding terminal. This is provided to allow the user to ground the HPOD to the antennas grounding network. All components installed at the antenna should be grounded to a common grounding point at the antenna.\
ix
Electrical welding: If welding needs to take place at the antenna, disconnect all cables from the HPOD except for the ground wire. Cap all RF connections with terminations. This will prevent damage to the input/output circuitry of the HPOD. Lightning: Lightning strikes on or around the antenna will generate extremely high voltages on all cables connected to the HPOD. Depending on the severity of the strike, the HPODs internal surge protection combined with the recommended external suppression may protect the HPODs power supply. However, if the installation will be in an area with a high probability of lightning strikes, Comtech EF Data recommends the installation of surge suppression on the RF and IF cables. One source of these suppressors is PolyPhaser Protection Technology Group (www.polyphaser.com).
For further information, contact the Comtech EF Data Customer Support Department.

Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1. Comtech EF Data HPOD SSPA Comtech EF Datas High-Power Outdoor (HPOD) Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA), shown in Figure 1-1, delivers its rated power, guaranteed, at the 1 dB compression point, to the transmit waveguide flange. It provides a cost effective, more reliable replacement for Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers (TWTA) in satellite communications.
11
HPOD C-, X-, Ku-Band High-Power Outdoor Amplifier Introduction
1.1.1
Features
The HPOD SSPA base unit provides features that are typically offered as options elsewhere. Its features include temperature compensation, sample ports, power monitor, field-replaceable power factor-corrected power supply, and full remote monitor and control capabilities. Higher power is available through the use of CEFD 1:1 and 1:2 phase combining kits. Solid-State Advantage: Each HPOD is constructed with highly reliable gallium arsenide (GaAs) FETs. With third order intermodulation products from 4 to 6 dB better than TWTA ratings, the HPOD replaces TWTAs with saturated power levels of up to twice the HPODs rated output. The HPODs also provide a mean time between failures (MTBF) that is 4 to 5 times greater than the typical TWTA MTBF. Field-Replaceable Power Supply: Recognizing that the MTBF limiting factor for almost all electronic equipment is the power supply, the HPOD provides for easy field replacement. Simply disconnect the AC mains, release the captive fasteners, and remove the supply from the SSPA module. Built-in Redundancy Controller: Each HPOD has the ability to function as a 1+1 (one backup for one primary) and 1+2 (one backup for two primaries) redundant controller in the backup mode. The optional redundancy configuration is implemented by attaching a ganged waveguide/coax transfer switch(es) to the input and output connectors of the amplifiers with a combination coaxial cable and waveguide kit. When the backup SSPA is commanded into the controller mode, it monitors the online SSPA(s) for faults. A faulted online unit may be disconnected and replaced without affecting the online power amplifier. Phase Combining: Comtech EF Datas phase-combined systems allow the outputs of two amplifiers to be summed together. A normal 1:1 system using 300W amplifiers provides 300W of output power (the offline units capabilities are unusable). The same amplifiers in a 1:1 phase-combined system will provide 600W of output power in normal operation, and a soft failure state of 300W. If no degradation on failure can be accommodated, a third amplifier can be added to form a 1:2 phase-combined system. Optional Smart BUC Functionality: Comtech EF Datas unique approach to LBand/RF frequency conversions eliminates DC and 10 MHz from the input coax. This simplifies redundant and multi-carrier operation. It offers full 13.75 to 14.5 GHz Ku coverage and supports industry standard FSK modem/BUC communications. The optional BUC can lock to an external or internal reference oscillator.
1.2
Functional Description
Each HPOD consists of a CEFD SSPA module with a field replaceable power supply, a field replaceable fan assembly, and the Monitor/Control Processor (MCP). The amplifier features a Comtech EF Data low loss combining technique and MCP based temperature versus gain compensation.

Theory of Operation
A block diagram of the HPOD SSPA is shown in Figure 1-2. The major components of the unit are: SSPA Module Power Supply (Power Factor Corrected and Removable/Field Replaceable) Cooling System Monitor and Control (M&C)
Figure 1-2. Comtech EF Data HPOD SSPA Block Diagram

1.3.1
SSPA Module
The amplifier module performs the core function of the unit. An isolator is at the RF input to ensure good VSWR. The RF signal then passes through an input sample port and on to an electronically controlled attenuator that adjusts the overall attenuation according to the user input. After some amplification, a second attenuator is automatically controlled via a look-up table to maintain the amplifier gain at a constant level over temperature variations. The RF signal is then amplified by a multi-stage design that utilizes proprietary combining techniques to meet the rated power requirements. The output circuitry contains a coupler to provide a sampled signal for monitoring purposes. A power detector circuit also is included and the reading can be accessed via remote communication. A high power circulator and load is located at the output to provide good VSWR and protection from external mismatch.
1.3.2
Power Supply
The SSPA features a removable power supply which is also power factor corrected. It connects to the main chassis via a specialized connector capable of the required high current. It supplies several voltages necessary for the unit to operate. The 10V output is capable of 2000W and supplies current to the power transistors in the RF amplifier module via two paths, or cables (10V A and 10V B). The output status of this power supply is controlled by circuitry within the RF module. If the RF module does not have the 5V supply for any reason, it will not allow the 10V power supply to turn on. This protects the power transistors within the RF module from failure due to improper power supply sequencing. The +24V output powers the cooling fans and is the source of power for waveguide switching when the SSPA is used in redundant configurations. The +5 and +15 voltages are used to operate the M&C board and other overhead functions.
1.3.3
Cooling System
The SSPA unit contains a robust heat sink and thermal design to maintain a low operating temperature. Two temperature controlled fans, which are monitored by the M&C board, draw cool outside air in across the power supply and specialized heat sink and exhaust the warmer air out the bottom of the unit. The amplifier module temperature is monitored, and if for any reason the amplifier temperature exceeds a safe preset limit, the amplifier module supply is shut down to protect the unit from thermal failure.
1.3.4
Monitor and Control (M&C)

The unit includes a microprocessor based system that provides monitoring and control of the essential parameters of the unit. The user interfaces with the unit through the M&C system via the remote control/discrete communications port. The unit is capable of either RS-232 or RS-485 remote communication. A discrete mute control and relay status output is also available. The M&C system monitors the fan speed, 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.
14
The M&C is also capable of acting as a controller in certain 1:1 or 1:2 redundant systems. When configured as the back-up SSPA in such a system, it communicates with the other SSPA(s) and toggles the waveguide switches as necessary.
1.3.5
Block Up Converter Input Option

The HPOD amplifier, when delivered from the factory with an internal Block Up Converter (BUC), translates an L-Band input carrier to the desired output frequency (C-, X-, or Ku-). Lockout (LO) frequencies are as follows:
BUC-4000 C, X, Ku, Ka Band C-Band X-Band Ku-Band-W Frequency 5850 to 6650 MHz 7900 to 8400 MHz 13.75 to 14.50 GHz LO Frequency 4900 MHz 6950 MHz 12.800 GHz Inverting No No No
The same Ku-Band BUC is installed independent of amplifier bandwidth. Therefore, the standard, 14.0 to 14.5 GHz HPOD has an L-Band frequency range of 1200 to 1700 MHz which translates up to 14.0 to 14.5 GHz, while the Extended, 13.75 to 14.5 GHz HPOD translates L-Band frequencies from 950 to 1700 MHz up to 13.75 to 14.5 GHz. Unlike most BUCs, no DC bias voltage should be provided on the center conductor of the L-Band coax. In addition, the BUC version of the HPOD is available with an internal 10 MHz reference. As, such, no 10 MHz reference is required on the center conductor of the L-Band coax. If a reference is provided on the coax, the internal reference will detect and lock to it.

Chapter 3. REMOTE CONTROL

3.1 Overview
This chapter describes the protocol and message command set for remote monitor and control of the HPOD SSPA (referred to hereafter as the HPOD). Some key parameters and procedures and their associated remote commands and queries are summarized, followed by detailed instructions for use of the serial remote control communication command and query interface.
3.2
Key Operational Parameters

For detailed information about the remote commands and queries mentioned in this section, see Sect. 3.4 Remote Commands and Queries found later in this chapter.
3.2.1 RF Input Level

The required RF input level to reach the full rated output power of the HPOD is determined by the individual amplifier maximum gain and power rating. For example, if the test data of an SSPA rated for 250W (54 dBm) indicated a gain of 75 dB, then a signal of 54dBm 75 dB = -21 dBm would approximately give the rated output power. Increasing input power beyond this level would result in an output signal with increasingly higher levels of distortion. Of course, if the SSPA attenuation control is utilized, a higher level input signal level can be accommodated. The maximum input level should never exceed 15dBm, or permanent damage to the unit may occur.
31
HPOD C-, X-, Ku-Band High-Power Outdoor Amplifier Remote Control
3.2.2 Attenuator Control

The HPOD gain can be attenuated over a 30 dB range by exercising the ATT command.
3.2.3 Mute Control

The amplifier may be muted via software or discrete control. Exercising the MUT=1 command will software mute the unit. The amplifier also may be hardware muted by pulling Pin S on the Com 1 / Discrete control connector (J6) to ground (See Chapter 2). The Mute command provides over 75 dB of RF on/off isolation. However, the Mute command only turns off the first few low power stages of the amplifier, the high power stages remain on. By allowing the higher power transistors to stay on, the amplifier remains in more thermally stable state should the mute condition be removed. If the user desires to completely turn off the bias to the entire amplifier (perhaps to conserve energy in a redundant system), both the MUT=1 and AMP=0 commands should be executed. For normal transmit operation, MUT=0 and AMP=1 are required.
3.2.4 Faults
The M&C system monitors certain key functions of the SSPA for proper operation. Should any of these parameters exceed predetermined limits, the M&C system will declare a fault. The conditions that trigger a fault are: Any power supply more than 10% outside its nominal value. Either fan less than 25% of maximum speed. I2C internal bus communications fault. Thermal Shutdown A temperature fault is indicated if the unit is +95C. This creates a summary fault and will cause the unit to mute itself and switch to the back-up unit (if in a redundant system). However, the 10V supply to the FET transistors will remain on until the unit reaches the thermal shutdown temperature of 100C. For protection reasons, the unit will shut down the 10V supply to the power transistors at temperatures 100C.
32
3.2.5 Power Detector

A power detector is provided to monitor the output power. It has a useful range of over 20 dB, referenced to the units rated P1dB point, and its value can be read by exercising the RMS command. The test data supplied with each unit gives an indication of the excellent accuracy and flatness of the power monitor over the frequency band of operation.
3.2.6 Most Common Remote Queries

RMS = Retrieve Maintenance Status. Displays voltages, fan speeds, Heatsink temperature, output power monitor reading, etc. RCS = Retrieve Configuration Status. Displays current attenuation, mute, amplifier, online, etc. status. RAS = Retrieve Alarm Status. Displays current alarm or fault status.
3.3
Serial Remote Control

The electrical interface is either an EIA-485 multi-drop bus (for the control of many devices) or an EIA-232 connection (for the control of a single device), and data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form using ASCII characters. Control and status information is transmitted in packets of variable length, in accordance with the structure and protocol defined in later sections.
3.3.1 EIA-485
For applications where multiple devices are to be monitored and controlled, a full-duplex (4-wire) EIA-485 is preferred. Half-duplex (2wire) EIA-485 is possible, but is not preferred. In full-duplex EIA-485 communication there are two separate, isolated, independent, differential-mode twisted pairs, each handling serial data in different directions. It is assumed that there is a controller device (a PC or dumb terminal), which transmits data, in a broadcast mode, via one of the pairs. Many target devices are connected to this pair, which all simultaneously receive data from the controller. The controller is the only device with a line-driver connected to this pair; the target devices only have line-receivers connected. In the other direction, on the other pair, each target has a Tri-Stateable line driver connected, and the controller has a line-receiver connected. All the line drivers are held in high-impedance mode until one (and only one) target transmits back to the controller. Each target has a unique address, and each time the controller transmits, in a framed packet of data, the address of the intended recipient target is included. All of the targets receive the packet, but only one (the intended) will reply. The target enables its output line driver, and transmits its return data packet back to the controller in the other direction on the physically separate pair.
33
EIA-485 (Full Duplex) Summary Two differential pairs Controller-to-target pair Target-to-controller pair One pair for controller to target, one pair for target to controller. Has one line driver (controller), and all targets have line-receivers. Has one line receiver (controller), and all targets have Tri-State drivers.
3.3.2 EIA-232
This is a much simpler configuration in which the controller device is connected directly to the target via a two-wire-plus-ground connection. Controller-to-target data is carried, via EIA-232 electrical levels on one conductor, and target-to-controller data is carried in the other direction on the other conductor.
3.3.3 Basic Protocol

Whether in EIA-232 or EIA-485 mode, all data is transmitted half-duplex as asynchronous serial characters, suitable for transmission and reception by a UART. The asynchronous character is fixed at 8-N-1 (8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit). The baud rate may vary from 1200 baud to 19200 baud. All data is transmitted in framed packets. The host Controller is assumed a PC or ASCII dumb terminal that is in charge of the process of monitor and control. The Controller is the only device that is permitted to initiate, at will, the transmission of data. Targets are only permitted to transmit when they have been specifically instructed to do so by the Controller. All bytes within a packet are printable ASCII characters. In this context, the Carriage Return and Line Feed characters are considered printable. All messages from Controller-to-Target require a response with one exception: This will be either to return data that has been requested by the Controller, or to acknowledge reception of an instruction to change the configuration of the Target. The exception to this is when the Controller broadcasts a message (such as Set Time/Date) using Address 0.

3.3.5
Start Of Packet
Controller-to-Target: This is the character < (ASCII code 60). Target-to-Controller: This is the character > (ASCII code 62). Because this is used to provide a reliable indication of the start of packet, these two characters may not appear anywhere else within the body of the message.
3.3.6
Target (Base) Address

Up to 9,999 devices can be uniquely addressed. In both EIA-232 and EIA-485 applications, the permissible range of values is 1 to 9999. It is programmed into a Target unit using the serial remote control port.
35
The Controller sends a packet with the address of a Target the destination of the packet. When the Target responds, the address used is the same address, to indicate to the Controller the source of the packet. The Controller does not have its own address.
3.3.7
Address Delimiter
This is the forward slash character '/' (ASCII code 47).
3.3.8
Instruction Code
This is a three-character alphabetic sequence that identifies the subject of the message. Wherever possible, the instruction codes have been chosen to have some significance. This aids in the readability of the message, should it be displayed in its raw ASCII form. All commands are case sensitive only upper case alphabetic characters may be used (A-Z, ASCII codes 65 - 90).
3.3.9
Instruction Code Qualifier

This is a single character, which further qualifies the preceding instruction code. Code Qualifiers obey the following rules: 1. From Controller-to-Target, the only permitted values are:
Symbol = (ASCII code 61) ? (ASCII code 63) Definition = is used as the assignment operator, and is used to indicate that the parameter defined by the preceding byte should be set to the value of the argument(s) that follow it. For Example: MUT=1 would mean 'enable the Mute function.' ? is used as the query operator, and is used to indicate that the Target should return the current value of the parameter defined by the preceding byte. For Example: MUT? Would mean return the current state of the Mute function.
2. From Target-to-Controller, the only permitted values are:

Symbol = (ASCII code 61) Definition The = code is used in two ways: First, if the Controller has sent a query code to a Target (for example, MUT? would mean return the current state of the Mute function), the Target would then respond with MUT=x, where x represents the state in question (1 being enabled, 2 being disabled).
36
Second, if the Controller sends an instruction to set a parameter to a particular value, then, providing the value sent in the argument is valid, the Target will acknowledge the message by replying with MUT= (with no message arguments). ? (ASCII code 63) The ? code is only used as follows: If the Controller sends an instruction to set a parameter to a particular value, then, if the value sent in the argument is not valid, the Target will acknowledge the message by replying (for example) with MUT? (with no message arguments). This indicates that there was an error in the argument of the message sent by the Controller. ! (ASCII code 33) The ! code is only used as follows: If the Controller sends an instruction code that the Target does not recognize, the Target will acknowledge the message by echoing the invalid instruction, followed by the ! character; for example, XYZ! * (ASCII code 42) The * code is only used as follows: If the Controller sends an instruction to set a parameter to a particular value, then, if the value sent in the argument is valid, but the CSAT will not permit that particular parameter to be changed at that time, the Target will acknowledge the message by replying (for example) with MUT* (with no message arguments). # ASCI code 35) The # code is only used as follows: If the Controller sends an instruction code that the Target cannot currently perform because of hardware resource issues, then the Target will acknowledge the message by echoing the invalid instruction, followed by the # character; for example, MUT# (with no message arguments). This response can only occur if the user sends two or more hardware configuration type commands without allowing adequate time between commands for the hardware to be configured. For example, the user issues commands to change both the Upconverter frequency and the Downconverter frequency with less than 100 milliseconds between commands. If this response is returned the command has not been accepted and the user must resend the command.
3.3.10 Optional Message Arguments

Arguments are not required for all messages. Arguments are ASCII codes for the characters 0 to 9 (ASCII codes 48 to 57), period (ASCII code 46) and comma (ASCII code 44).
3.3.11 End Of Packet

Controller-to-Target: This is the Carriage Return character (ASCII code 13). Target-to-Controller: This is the two-character sequence Carriage Return, Line Feed (ASCII codes 13 and 10). Both indicate the valid termination of a packet.

The HPOD C-/Ku Band Outdoor Power Amplifiers can be used in a redundancy configuration by connecting the appropriate 1:1 or 1:2 redundancy cable to the J4 Redundancy Loop connector. The mode of redundancy is automatically detected by the cable that is installed by the user; the system configures automatically upon detection of the redundant loop cable. This redundant loop cable has internal connections that allow the SSPAs to both detect the cable and establish their position corresponding to the label on the cable (SSPA 1 or 2 for a 1:1 system; SSPA 1, 2, or BU for a 1:2 system).
B.2
1:1 Mode
In 1:1 redundancy mode, the unit that is currently not the active unit (determined by the switch position) will be the controlling backup unit. The serial command RAM determines system operation. If RAM=1 in both units, the system will be in AUTO mode. In this mode, if a fault is detected with the active unit, either by loss of communications between the offline and online unit, or via the summary fault, the backup(offline) unit will switch the waveguide switch and become the active(online) unit (assuming the backup unit is not faulted). The RAM serial command can be used to put the system in MANUAL mode. With RAM=0 set in both units, the system is set to manual redundancy mode and no switchovers will occur upon fault detection. The switch position is determined by the value sent in the SSW command (SSW=1 sets the switch to put SSPA 1 online, SSW=2 sets the switch to put SSPA 2 online).

1:2 Mode
Figure B-1 shows the block diagram for an HPOD 1:2 Redundant System (for the purpose of example, a C-Band system is shown).
Figure B-1. HPOD C-Band 1:2 Redundant System Block Diagram In 1:2 redundancy mode there is a dedicated BackupUnit (designated as BU) as determined by the cable position. In this configuration the BU is responsible for monitoring the two online units for communications and summary faults. While the BU is constantly monitoring both units for their status, if either has a fault, the last (good) status is used as the configuration for the BU before the BU goes online. Once the BU goes online, the redundancy auto/manual status reverts to manual mode, and the BU stays online until reset by the user. The user may reset the system by issuing a FBU=0 command to place the units back into auto mode. When this command is issued, the BU will then switch back to the normal configuration of SSPAs 1 and 2 online. The system can be operated manually by sending an FBU=1 command (which forces SSPA #1 to be backed up), or a FBU=2 command (which forces SSPA #2 to be backed up) to the BU.
B2
The BU also stores an offset value, to be used when the BU replaces an active unit, for each of the two online units. This offset may be set with the SBO= command. When an online unit is being backed up the BU s attenuator will be set to this value. This value may be different then the attenuation value of the online unit to compensate for any gain mismatch between the BU and online units. To calibrate: 1. After proper operating levels have been established in online SSPA #1 and #2, store their attenuation settings using the SBO= command in the backup unit. For example, if SSPA #1 requires 15.00 dB of attenuation and SSPA #2 requires 10.00 dB, send the SBO=1,15.00 and SBO=2,10.00 command to the BU SSPA to store these values. 2. Send the FBU=1 command to the BU unit. This will force the BU unit to replace SSPA #1. The BU unit will read the setting stored by the SBO=1 command (in this example, 15.00) and apply this value to its own attenuation setting. This value can now be tuned to compensate for any gain mismatch. For example, if the output power is 1 dB too high in this state, send ATT=16.00 to the BU unit. If the Tx level is now correct, send SBO=1,16.00 to the BU unit. Repeat the above process to achieve desired level matching and for SSPA #2.

HPOD Series 1:1 Redundancy Test Connection

Step 1 2 3 Procedure Connect HPOD redundant loop connectors together using a CA/WR12190-1 redundant loop cable. Connect a 28V WG switch to the switch connector on the redundant loop cable. Since both units will be connected to a single RS-485 bus, they will need independent serial COMM addresses. To simplify the setup: a. Power up the unit connected to the SSPA 2 end of the CA/WR11124-1 cable. Using a RS-485 connection and a terminal program, set the serial COMM address to 2(SPA=0002)
b. Disconnect SSPA 2 from the RS-485 cable. Connect the RS-485 cable to and power up the unit connected to the SSPA 1 end of the redundant loop cable. Confirm this units serial COMM address is 1. If required set it to 1 (SPA=0001). c. When complete, the SSPA connected to the SSPA 1 end of the redundancy interlink cable should have RS-485 COMM address 1 and SSPA 2 will be COMM address 2.
4 5
Connect both units to the RS-485 COMM cable and power both units on. Confirm correct serial comm. by sending them both an RET? query and noting the response. The units auto detect the presence of the redundant loop cable. Send RED? to both units. Both should report RED=1 indicating proper detection of the redundant loop cable.

B.4.2
Operation
Step 1 2 3 4 5 6 Procedure Set both units to Auto redundant mode by sending them RAM=1. Establish the current online status by sending each unit an ONL? query. Note one unit should return ONL=1 (online) and one unit should return ONL=0 (offline) Fail the unit that reported ONL=1. The switch should throw. Restore the unit Repeat the ONL? to both units. The unit that was failed in step 2 should now report ONL=0 and the other should report ONL=1. Fail this unit and confirm the switch transitions. Put the system in Manual mode by sending RAM=0 commands to both units. The SSW command will force the switch to point to the selected unit. For example, an SSW=1 command will force the switch to point to SSPA 1 no matter which SSPA the command was issued to. Ensure either unit can throw the switch in both directions by sending the following commands a. <1/SSW=1 (the switch may or may not transition) b. <1/SSW=2 (the switch should transition) c. <1/SSW=1 (the switch should transition) d. <2/SSW=2 (the switch should transition) e. <2/SSW=1 (the switch should transition)
