and amplification, the IF signal is converted into the RF signal and then sent to the AMP amplifier
unit. The AMP amplifies the RF signal (the output power of the signal can be controlled by the
IDU software). After the amplification, the RF signal is sent to the antenna through the diplexer.
The O&M uplink signal is a 5.5 MHz ASK-modulated signal and is demodulated in the CTRL
control unit.
The 48 V DC power signal is sent to the PWR power unit where the secondary power supply
of a different voltage is generated and provided to the modules of the ODU.
The O&M downlink signal is modulated under the ASK scheme in the CTRL unit. The 10 MHz
signal is generated through the modulation and sent to the multiplexer. The CTRL unit also
detects the receive signal level through the RSSI detection circuit and provides the RSSI
interface.
The IF signal and the O&M downlink signal are combined in the multiplexer and then sent to
the IDU through the IF cable.
1.5 Interface
The ODU has the antenna interface, IF interface, RSSI interface, and grounding bolts.
The ODUs are classified into the ODU with the waveguide interface and the ODU with the
coaxial interface according to the type of the antenna interface of the ODU. The antenna
interfaces of the 738 GHz ODUs are waveguide interfaces, and the antenna interfaces of the 6

an antenna to the ODU or hybrid coupler.
3.1 Separate Mount Parts for an ODU with the Waveguide Interface
When an ODU with the waveguide interface adopts the separate mount mode, the installation
parts include an ODU adapter and a flexible waveguide.

3.3 Flange Converter
When the flange interface of an antenna or ODU adapter cannot be directly interconnected with
the flange interface of a separately separate mount part such as flexible waveguide, a waveguide-
to-coaxial converter, or a coaxial hybrid coupler, due to a mismatch between the specifications,
a flange converter is used to convert the interfaces.
