Chapter 1 Product Overview

Agilis, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of


quality satellite products for various applications, introduces the High
Power Compact C-BUC.

The High Power Compact C-BUC is easy to install and redundancy ready.
The Agilis C-Band BUC also offers a wide range of distinctive advantages
and enhanced features for satellite communication systems in remote or
challenging geographic regions. Its innovative and robust design makes it
very reliable under harsh environment conditions.

This user manual provides detailed information to system integrators and


end users on how to set-up, operate and maintain the High Power
Compact C-BUC.

1.1 About The BUC


The High Power Compact C-BUC is a small and lightweight BUC that is
ideal for mobile and satellite uplink applications.

The High Power Compact C-BUC is a high performance, reliable and cost-
effective RF transmitter designed for satellite communication with high
speed transmission capability. This unit is suitable for both telephony and
high speed data communication.

The C-BUC can be operated with different modulation formats such as


BPSK, QPSK and QAM. Due to the stringent performance specifications, it
is suitable for the following applications:

 Single Carrier Per Channel (SCPC)

 Multi-Carrier Per Channel (MCPC)

 Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA)

 Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)

The C-BUC is designed with low power consumption, well suited for
applications and systems where power is an important concern. With low
pulse mode phase perturbation, it is extremely useful for systems that
require burst mode applications. The C-BUC has a built-in 10MHz
reference with auto-detection which enables the C-BUC to operate with
internal 10MHz reference if an external 10MHz is not detected from the
modem.

IM02960187 Rev. D 1
Chapter 1 Product Overview

1.2 BUC Functions


The main function of the BUC is to up convert L-band input signals from an
indoor modulator to a RF signal for transmission via the antenna. Aside
from up converting L-band input signals, the BUC includes the following
function modules:

 Demultiplexer
The DEMUX module splits the external 10 MHz reference and L-band
that are carried to the BUC by the input coaxial cable.

 Up-converter
The L-band transmit signals received from an indoor modem is
passed through a high pass filter (to reject interference and
harmonics) and then up-converted by the U/C with a LO signal,
achieving the desired RF transmit C-band frequency.

 Synthesized local oscillator


LO signals used by the U/C are derived from a frequency
synthesizer. This synthesizer is referenced to a 10 MHz sine wave
oscillator.

 Solid state power amplifier


The BUC feeds up-converted signals into an internal SSPA module to
be amplified for transmission to the satellite via the antenna. The
SSPA consists of multiple gain stages based on a high performance
microwave power GaAs FET. All power GaAs FETs are housed in
different partitions for EMI isolation. These partitions eliminate
interference from DC and other gain stages.

The SSPA’s input and output are protected from any mismatch with
internal isolators. You are still recommended, however, to
terminate RF output during testing.

2 IM02960187 Rev. D
Chapter 1 Product Overview

 Monitor and control


The M&C module is the central processing hub of the C-BUC. It is
developed on an embedded microcontroller to perform the required
monitoring and control functions. This module monitors the transmit
and LO alarms and the status of the SSPA module. It can also be
used to enable or disable the SSPA.

The C-BUC can be connected to your PC indirectly via a RS485 cable


using a RS485 to USB converter.

An option is also available to directly connect the C-BUC to your PC


via a RS232 cable. The recommended distance between the PC and
BUC is up to 30 meters if connecting via a RS232 cable.

 Power supply

The C-Band BUC is powered via an external 230V AC power source.


An internal AC-DC converter converts the AC power received into
the DC voltages required by the various modules within the BUC.

The internal AC-DC converter receives AC power and converts it to


DC voltages which are then supplied to the various internal modules
and cooling fans. This power supply is compact, reliable and is
adequately adjusted for safety, EMC and EMI.

Chapter 2 System Configurations

2.1.2 1:1 Redundancy System Configuration


In a 1:1 redundancy system, two BUCs are connected in the system. Each
BUC monitors the status of the other BUC via the Status Link port,
controlling redundancy internally.

The built-in redundancy-ready feature eliminates the use of an external


controller for 1:1 redundancy operation. This eliminates messy cabling at
the antenna making this a convenient solution.

2.2.2 WR137 Waveguide Switch


The outdoor RF waveguide transfer switches are electromechanical
switches with manual override feature. The switches do not consume any
power while idling.

The switch over can be automatically or manually controlled by the


operator. In “Auto” mode, the BUC initiates a switching operation at the
waveguide switch when a fault is detected at either transmit or receive
streams. This allows the link to be maintained while performing fault
diagnosis on the faulty device. You can also manually initiate this switch
operation for maintenance or diagnosis purposes.

The RF waveguide transfer switch is a four ports waveguide switch. Two


ports are connected to the two devices (SSPA for transmit chain and LNB
for receive chain). A third port connects to the dummy load while the last
connects to the antenna feed. Each switch also includes two control ports
that is connected to the BUCs to control the switching operation.

The figure below shows the outline dimensions of both types of waveguide
switches. The time for each switch operation is 50ms.

power source.

The BUC power supply specification is shown in the table below.

Power Specification AC power (220V)


AC Input Voltage 220VAC, 50/60Hz
Voltage range 90  264VAC (80W-100W) 220VAC (200W)
For 80W & 100W For 200W
Power Consumption
600W 1100W
Waveguide Switches 220 VAC nom, 50/60 Hz
AC Input (via BUC)
Waveguide Switches 1.4A each for both switches (during switch)
Switching Current 0 Amps (when switch is idle)

When selecting the AC power source to connect your unit to, please
ensure that the voltages are within the limits specified in the table below.
You are recommended to use an Automatic Voltage Regulator if your
power source falls outside of these limitations.

Tolerance 220 VAC


Live  Neutral 220 VAC ± 15%
Live  Earth 220 VAC ± 15%
Neutral  Earth < 5 VAC

 Note: The equipment may be damaged if the Neutral  Earth exceeds


5VAC. Please check your grounding setup if this occurs.

 Note: Please note that you may interchange the wiring connection
between the live and neutral pins. Interchanging these two pins will still
power up the BUC but may affect the switching operation of the setup.

3.2.5 Pre-Installation Uplink Test


Performing a pre-installation test prior to the actual field installation
helps you to:

 Confirm that the unit has not been damaged during shipment.

 Check that the unit is in working order before performing a tiring


and costly mounting procedure on your antenna.

Hence, we strongly recommend that you perform the following test


procedure.

30 IM02960187 Rev. D
Chapter 3 Installation

 Note: Ensure that no alarm or fault appears on the C-BUC before


performing any test.

 Note: To avoid damaging the C-BUC, please connect a dummy load


with a coupler of greater than 300W to the RF output.

Step 1 Connect the C-BUC as in the figure below and power up the system.

Figure 3.1 Connection for uplink test procedure

 Note: * represents equipment not provided by Agilis

Step 2 Using the M&C software (Chapter 4 BUC Set Up and Management), set up
the desired channel.

Step 3 Use the L-band satellite modem to input an L-band pure carrier
Turn on the transmit carrier and set the pure carrier feature to ON.

Step 4 Adjust the modem’s output power until the IF level input to C-BUC is -25
dBm.

Step 5 Measure the RF OUT of the C-BUC using a spectrum analyzer at C-band.

1. Calculate the total transmit gain based on this formula: Output


power – Input power + Attenuation.

2. Compare the result against the specifications (Appendix B Unit


Specifications & Outline). If there is no signal, check that the
channel setting is correct.

Example:

Transmit gain = RF OUT power - IF IN power + Attenuation =

8 - (-25) + 30 = 63 dB

Chapter 3 Installation

Step 2 Connecting the BUC

FOR STANDALONE CONFIGURATION


If you are setting up the BUC in a standalone system configuration,
connect the BUC to the other system components as follows:

1. Connect the L-BD-IN port of the BUC to an indoor modem using a


standard IF coaxial cable.

2. Connect the M&C port of the BUC to an indoor terminal (such as a


PC) using the M&C cable provided (P/N: 2502041256).

3. Connect the RF OUT port of the BUC to the antenna feed using the
RF waveguide cable provided.

4. Connect the BUC to a 230V AC power supply using the AC power


cable (P/N: 1001522412).

FOR 1:1 REDUNDANCY CONFIGURATION


If you are setting up the BUC in a 1:1 redundancy system configuration,
connect the system components according to the diagram shown in 2.1.2
1:1 Redundancy System Configuration. A full page version of this diagram
is also provided at the last page of this manual for your convenience.

34 IM02960187 Rev. D
Chapter 3 Installation

Step 3 Grounding the installation


This process provides a conductive path for static electrical charges to be
discharged safely from the equipment to the ground. This prevents a build
up of static charges that may cause the equipment to spark.

1. Locate an appropriate grounding spot. Most soil has sufficient


conductivity to allow for an efficient grounding connection. Soils
that are mainly rock may need to be treated with additional
minerals like rock salt, copper sulphate or magnesium sulphate to
increase their conductivity.

2. Drive a 3m lightning rod into the ground about 30cm from the
antenna pole. Bolt an aluminium wire, minimum 9mm in diameter,
to the ground pole. A tight clamp is used to make contact at the
top end. Avoid sharp bends when routing the wire as these may
impede current flow.

3. Bond the power supplies of the BUC to the antenna frame and the
ground rod using size 3/0 or 4/0 stranded copper wire.

WARNING: Please ensure that the wire is tightly connected between


the rod and the equipment to prevent sparks.

Step 4 Switch on the unit


Turn on the AC power sources. The BUC should power on and the
respective LED indicators should be lighted.

Step 5 Sealing the cables


To complete the physical installation, all connectors and important joints
in the system must be sealed. Note that the sealing must begin from the
chassis of the ODUs up to the heatshrink of the cable.

All unused connections must be sealed to prevent water ingress. Please


ensure that all connectors are tightened before sealing.

4.3 Monitor & Control via HTTP (Web)


If you have purchased the optional Ethernet M&C component, you can
monitor and manage the BUC from your PC by simply using a standard web
browser.

The new generation of devices from Agilis provides the capability to


monitor and control the device through a ubiquitous web browser
available on any PC. This simple interface offers a very user-friendly
mechanism to maintain and configure a device for any system
configuration and settings.

At the heart of the device is an embedded http web server. It is a


software component that implements the HTTP protocol and allows any
web browser to access information from the device. This architecture
provides the following benefits:

- It provides a thin-client interface for a traditional application and any


application running the http protocol.

- It provides support for http protocol for the distribution and acquisition
of information to be displayed in the regular interface — possibly a web
service, and possibly using XML as the data format.

- HTTP is a well studied cross-platform protocol and there are mature


implementations freely available. It is seldom blocked by firewalls and
intranet routers.

- HTTP clients (e.g. web browsers) are readily available with all modern
computers.

4.3.1 Connecting the PC to BUC


To monitor and control the BUC using the WEB interface via an Ethernet
connection, connect your PC LAN port to the BUC RJ45 port using either a
cross LAN cable or an Ethernet hub. A DB9 to RJ45 converter may be

4.4 Monitor & Control via SNMP


Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a framework for
the definition of management information and the exchange of that
information. A SNMP manager is a software module that manages part or
all of the system configurations while an agent is a software module in the
unit that is being managed. Transfer of information can be initiated by
both the manager (via polling) and the agent (via SNMP Trap).

By default, the manager initiates requests and receives responses via port
161. The agent sends SNMP Trap messages via port 162.

A database describing the unit’s application parameters is stored in the


SNMP agent. This SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) database is
used to interpret the signals requested and received between the manager
and agent. The database includes both a standard set of values common to
hardware nodes on a network and a private set of values that is unique to
the specific unit.

Object Identifiers (OID) are a series of numbers that uniquely identify


variable to an SNMP agent. OIDs are arranged in a hierarchical tree
structure.

The figure below shows the categorization of BUC parameters that are
used in defining the MIBs for SNMP enabled Agilis products. These
categories help define various device parameters very distinctly and help
for easy access and navigation when using any manager.

 Note: This figure shows the full set of categories and does not apply to
all Agilis products. These categories are closely used in defining the
product MIBS for all the SNMP enabled devices. The set of parameters that
are available in each Agilis product will differ.

4.4.2 Connecting the PC to BUC


If you have purchased the optional Ethernet M&C component, you can
monitor and control the BUC using an SNMP manager via an Ethernet
connection. Connect your PC LAN port to the BUC RJ45 port using either a
cross LAN cable or an Ethernet hub. A DB9 to RJ45 converter may be
provided by Agilis for this connection.

Figure 4.15 Connecting via the RJ45

4.4.3 Connecting to the SNMP Interface


Once your BUC is physically connected to the PC, follow the procedure
below to connect the SNMP agent module to a SNMP manager in your PC.

Step 1 Activate your SNMP manager. Agilis products will work with most standard
SNMP managers available in the market.
 Note: For the purpose of this manual, all screenshots in this section
are made using the SNMP Manager from iReasoning. You can download or
purchase any standard third party SNMP Manager software and install it
into your PC.

Step 2 In the SNMP manager, enter the BUC’s access IP address. The following
show the default configuration:
Agent IP: 192.168.1.1

Chapter 5 Maintenance & Troubleshooting

This chapter details various system maintenance operations to help ensure


that your system works under optimal conditions.

WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before performing any


system maintenance and repair.

5.1 Preventive Maintenance


This section explains the various maintenance checks that should be
routinely carried out to ensure that the system is working correctly and in
optimal condition.

Ideally, you should perform a complete maintenance on the system at


least twice a year and record all updates and changes made to each ODU
“SETUP RECORD”. Notify all users that may be affected of a system down
time of roughly two hours prior to maintenance.

WARNING: Disconnect and re-connect cables during maintenance


properly to avoid causing any damage to the cables that may result in
intermittent problems in the future.

Connect the output interface of the equipment to a proper load.

5.1.1 Fans Maintenance


The C-BUC includes four fans on the right side of the unit. It is essential to
ensure that airflow through these fans is not blocked to allow the BUC to
operate at the optimal temperature. Hence, we recommend cleaning the
fans at least once a year (or more depending on environmental
conditions). The cleaning procedure is detailed below:

Step 1 Turn off the AC power supply to the BUC.

Step 2 Using compressed air, blow through the fan assembly to remove any dirt
accumulation

Step 3 Turn on the AC power supply to the BUC.

IM02960187 Rev. D 81
Chapter 5 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

5.1.2 Gains Testing


The test procedure is as follows:

Step 1 Look at the demodulator status (DEMODULATOR LOCK indicator on the


modem) and check that is “LOCKED” to the receive signal.

Step 2 Check that the transmit and receive configurations on both the modem
and the C-BUC complies with the SETUP RECORD. If there are any
discrepancies, contact the personnel responsible for the previous record
for clarifications before proceeding.

Step 3 Turn on the pure carrier of the modem and measure the power level using
a spectrum analyzer.

Step 4 If your modem is connected to an AC power supply, measure the indoor AC


power supply to the modem to check that the voltages are within the
limits specified in the table below. You are recommended to use an
Automatic Voltage Regulator if your power source falls outside of these
limitations.
 Note: The limit range will differ according to your modem’s AC voltage
requirements. Please use the table as a guideline only.

Tolerance 230 VAC 50 Hz


Live  Neutral 230 VAC ± 15%
Live  Earth 230 VAC ± 15%
Neutral  Earth < 5 VAC

Step 5 Check that all IF and RF cables are labelled.

Step 6 Ensure that all cables are in good working condition by performing the
following procedure:

1. Remove cables at both ends of the connection before taking


measurements.

2. Using a mega ohm meter, measure both ends of the cables.

Step 7 Again using a mega ohm meter, measure the ground resistance of the
antenna. This value should not be greater than 10Ω

Step 8 Reconnect the transmit cable to the modem and measure the power level
of the pure carrier transmitted into the C-BUC’s input port. Calculate the
IFL loss and check that it is similar to the value recorded in the SETUP
RECORD.

WARNING: Turn off the C-BUC and connect a power attenuator


(>100W) to the RF OUT port of the BUC before step 9 below.

Step 9 Turn on the BUC and connect the IF IN cable. Record the RF OUT power
level and calculate the uplink gain. Check that the resultant gain complies
with both the SETUP RECORD and the gain setting on the BUC.

82 IM02960187 Rev. D
Chapter 5 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Step 10 Measure the power level and C/N0 of the receive carrier under
consideration at the BUC’s IF OUT port. Check the readings against the
SETUP RECORD. If there is a significant variation in the two, contact the
transmit site for confirmation.

Step 11 Measure the level at the modem’s IF input to determine the Rx IFL loss.
Match this value against the SETUP RECORD.

5.1.3 Completing the Maintenance


Completing each maintenance service requires the following actions:

 Check the sealing on existing connections and re-seal if necessary.


 Tighten and re-seal all connections and important joints that were
disconnected for maintenance.
 Check and ensure that all waveguide joints are properly equipped
with a gasket and sealed.
 Cover all unused connectors with a cap and seal.
 Update the SETUP RECORD.
