1. SAFETY
In addition to this section, included by reference are the following pertinent sections of the
International Standard IEC-215, ‘Safety requirements for radio transmitting equipment’:
Appendix D, ‘GUIDANCE ON ASSESSING THE COMPETENCE OF PERSONNEL FOR
DESIGNATION AS SKILLED’ and also Sub-clause 3.1 of the Standard.
Appendix E, ‘GUIDANCE ON SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BY
PERSONNEL WORKING ON RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT’, also Sub-clauses 3.2,
3.7 and 22.1 of the Standard.
To prevent the risk of personal injury or loss related to equipment malfunction Advantech
Wireless uses the following symbols for safety related information. For your own safety, please
read the information carefully BEFORE operating the equipment.
Symbols used in manual:
WARNING: This indicates a hazardous procedure that could result in serious injury or death if
not performed properly.
CAUTION: This indicates a hazardous and dangerous procedure that could result in light-
to-severe injury or loss related to equipment malfunction, if proper precautions
are not taken.

----------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------------
When supplying power to this equipment, use the 3-pin connector provided, to connect to a
grounded power outlet. If power is supplied without grounding to the equipment, there is a risk
of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.
In the context of this document any voltage that is lethal is viewed as ‘High Voltage’. Therefore,
even prime power (90 to 264 V AC) is dangerous because prime power potentials have been
known to cause death or injury.
----------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------------
This equipment can not be repaired by the operator. DO NOT attempt to remove the
equipment cover or to disassemble internal components. Only qualified service technicians
should service this equipment. There are high-voltage parts in this equipment presenting a risk of
severe injury to untrained personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damage to precision
components.
----------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------------
ALWAYS TERMINATE THE OUTPUT OF THE BLOCK UP-CONVERTER WITH A
RF LOAD CAPABLE OF DISSIPATING FULL CW RF POWER. SIMILARLY
TERMINATE THE INPUTS TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF THE UNIT BEING
DRIVEN BY STRAY LEAKAGE SIGNALS. Incorporate the terminations prior to applying
prime power to the unit. This procedure prevents self-oscillation and irradiation of the local
environment. Even if a source is not connected to the unit you are working with, there are
situations where the block up-converter can go into a self-induced mode and generate high levels
of RF energy. Destruction caused under excessive load voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) will
void the warranty. Although this equipment has internal protection for VSWR higher than 3:1
and will automatically go in shutdown (with a delay of 1 second), still it is a safe procedure to
avoid unwanted effects.
7

----------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------------
DO NOT LOOK INTO THE OUTPUT PORTS OF THE POWERED RF BLOCK UP-
CONVERTER.Treat the powered RF unit with extreme care. Keep in mind that levels of
microwave radiation that do not induce immediate physical discomfort in most individuals can
be sufficiently high to induce longer term effects. Your eyes are particularly vulnerable parts of
your body.
The permissible levels of exposure are quite low compared to the power levels of the amplifiers
built by Advantech Wireless (e.g. less than 10 mW versus 20 to 500 W delivered by various
units). The permissible levels are currently being studied by a number of organizations. In the
past the U.S. safety Code established a dosage rate of 10 mW/cm2. Currently there is
consideration being given to reducing the permissible level to 1 mW/cm2in the United States, as
has been the case for several European countries.
----------------------------------------------- CAUTION-----------------------------------------------------
THIS IS A HEAVY EQUIPMENT. USE TWO OR MORE PEOPLE TO LIFT AND
MOVE this equipment or use an equipment cart. There is a risk of back injury, if this equipment
is lifted by one person.

4. MAJOR SUBSYSTEMS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information required to install and operate the Redundant Ready 150 W Ku-
Band Hub-mount (Outdoor) Solid State Block Up-Converter model SSPBMg-K150-BRE.
4.2 DESCRIPTION
The Solid State Power Block Up-Converter unit is self-contained and is intended for mounting near
the hub of the antenna.. Each Up-Converter unit incorporates a DC main power supply and forced
air cooling system, see Figure 1: Product Outline at page 16. Each unit features a serial RS-485
interface that provides full remote monitor and control capabilities via a computer interface as well
as serial RS-232 interface (that may be used in Terminal mode) and a discrete interface (Relay) for
local or remote monitoring and control of selected functions. A functional block diagram of a
single unit is shown in
Figure 2at page 17.
4.3 SINGLE UNIT MAJOR COMPONENTS
The SSPB Up-Converter consists of the following major components:
• L-Band to Ku-Band Up-Converter Module,
• Power Amplifier Module,
• Waveguide Assembly,
• 10 MHz Reference Oscillator,
• Main Controller Board,
• Power Supply,
• Current Sensor, and
• Power Monitor Board.
These components are interconnected using dedicated wiring harnesses and coaxial cables.
To clarify the explanation of the components in the following paragraphs, refer to the block
diagram in
Figure 2at page 17.
11

4.3.1 L-BAND TO KU-BAND UP-CONVERTER MODULE
The L/Ku-Band Up-Converter Module converts and amplifies the incoming L-Band carrier
into the desired Ku-Band carrier.
The module has an internal synthesizer, which is fixed at 2175 MHz (virtual 13050 MHz).
The up-converter module has RS-485 communication port that connects to the main controller
board. It also provides a discrete ALARM signal to the Main Controller.
The Up-Converter converts the input L-Band carrier into a Ku-Band carrier. The 950 – 1450 MHz
L-Band input signals are fed at the input co-axial interface connector. Note that this unit has an
internal 10 MHz internal reference. The unit will work based on this internal 10 MHz reference. A
block up-converter using a low phase noise RF oscillator, which is phase locked to the 10 MHz
reference, translates the 950 - 14500 MHz L-Band frequency-range to 14.000 - 14.500 GHz Ku-
Band frequencies. A band-pass filter selects the appropriate up-converter term, which in turn drives
a Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA). Integral to this module there is a variable attenuation
section used for global temperature compensation.
4.3.2 POWER AMPLIFIER MODULE
The Power Amplifier Module amplifies the RF signals from the L/Ku-Band
up-converter module over the frequency range of 14000 MHz to 14500 MHz. The power
amplifier has a fixed gain of 55 dB, typical.
The monitoring and control signals are the Alarm Output and the Relay Input for muting the
power amplifier.
Temperature sensors are installed at the module’s hot spots to prevent the RF devices from
overheating and operating at temperatures exceeding 85ºC.
The power amplifier also has the following functions:
1. Provides and removes the DC voltages to the GaAs FET devices within the module.
2. Provides a temperature dependent DC voltage to the L-C up-converter for temperature
compensation.
3. Sends a FAULT signal to the main controller board when detecting a fault.
4. Any Synthesizer is out of lock
The power amplifier will be in the Mute mode if:
1. The user sends a MUTE command through the Relay, RS-232, or RS-485 interfaces.
2. The hot spot temperature exceeds +85 °C.
3. Any of the GaAs FET devices failed (drain current out of range).
12

4.3.3 WAVEGUIDE ASSEMBLY
The Waveguide Assembly contains a forward and reflected power detector, an RF output
circulator and a waveguide receive reject filter.
The forward power detector and the reflected power detector monitor the RF output power level
and the reflected power level respectively. The detected voltage signals are delivered to the
Power Monitor Module that converts the analog signals in digital signals and delivers them to the
Main Controller Board.
Both the direct and the reverse power are available at the serial ports (RS-232 and RS-485).
The circulator provides a VSWR protection at the SSPB RF output port. The VSWR at the
circulator output is 1.25:1, minimum. The termination load of the isolator is capable of fully
absorbing any reflected power. A WR75 flat type waveguide flange is the unit output.
4.3.4 10 MHz REFERENCE OSCILLATOR
This module is used to generate a highly stable and very low phase noise 10 MHz reference
frequency with a high stability (of ±5 x 10-8 MHz/year typical), which is required by all
converter modules. A 10 MHz reference is sent to the converter module via a coaxial cable.
4.3.5 MAIN CONTROLLER BOARD
The Main Controller Board contains a microprocessor controller that performs all of the
monitoring and control, input/output communication and the decision-making. The main
controller board provides:
1. Fault detection and indication from each module of the unit
2. Mute control and indication
3. Forward RF power indication
4. Reflected RF power indication
5. Redundancy control (for redundant systems)
6. Unit Gain control (attenuation setting) –not available for these units
7. Relay, RS-232, and RS-485 customer interface
13

4.3.5.1 FAULT Detection and Indication
The unit will automatically go into a shutdown mode (MUTE) and send a message to all of the
external interfaces (including the red Tx LED) when any one of the following occurs:
1. The local oscillator within an up-converter module is out of lock.
2. The hotspot temperature exceeds 85°C.
3. Any of the GaAs FET or GaN devices failed.
4. Reflected power is greater than 44 dBm.
The SSPB continually monitors the internal temperature and the current consumption. It also has
an automatic shutdown feature to prevent operation at excessive temperatures. The unit will
automatically restart when the hotspot temperature falls below to 65°C.
A thermal alarm may result from any one of the following conditions:
1. High ambient temperature (the SSPB Up-Converter is designed to operate between -30°C
and +55°C ambient).
2. Blockage at the air intake or exhaust vents.
4.3.5.2 MUTE Control
The user can disable the RF output power remotely by:
1. Leaving unconnected pins G and H of the Relay interface connector the Transmit way will be
MUTE (see Section 5.1 at page 21).
2. Sending a mute command in terminal mode through the RS-232 interface for transmit.
3. Sending a mute command in packet mode through the RS-485 interface for transmit.
This feature is useful if the user wishes to perform a maintenance check or to check out the
transmission system.
4.3.6 POWER SUPPLY
The Power Supply Module provides +12 VDC output to the following modules:
1. Power amplifier module (high current),
2. L/Ku-Band up-converter module,
3. 10 MHz oscillator,
4. Power monitor module,
5. Current sensor,
6. Main controller board
14

The Power Supply Module provides also +24 VDC output to the Power Amplifier Module (for
GaN devices)
The power supply also provides the following outputs:
• - 9 V DC
• + 48 V DC for the cooling fan
The separate +48 VDC is necessary to operate the cooling fan. This will be a variable,
temperature dependent, voltage that will ensure a variable rotation speed of the cooling fan
related to the temperature (the fan will rotate slower when the temperature is low and faster when
the temperature is high).
The power supply is configured to operate from an 90-132 or 180-264 V AC (autoranging),
47-63 Hz, single phase supply. The overall typical power consumption, at the saturated RF
output power, is approximately 1400 W.
4.3.7 COOLING SYSTEM
The thermal conduction from the modules to the heatsink and the cooling fan provide a sufficient
cooling for the SSPB.
