2.2 ADE block diagram
The ADE consists of Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), Antenna Control Unit (ACU), Radio Frequency Unit (RFU)
and Radome, while the BDE consists of Main Unit (MU) and Handset.
2.2.1 Antenna and LNA
The Antenna is a 12-array flat type antenna. The LNA is attached behind the Antenna, filtering
out unwanted signal from the Antenna. The LNA amplifies RX (receiving) signal from the satellite
and then output to the RFU and divides TX (transmitting) signal from the RFU into 12 signals of
each array. The LNA generates two signals, the right side RX signal and the left side RX signal,
from 12 signals of each array. These RX signals are used to demodulate in the BDE and also to
generate two tracking signals in the RFU.
2.2.2 ACU
The ACU is composed of ADE control circuit and GPS receiver.
The ADE control circuit is a controller of the whole ADE using a CPU and peripherals. The ADE
control circuit detects ship’s rolling and pitching using the inclinometer and the Rate sensor and
then control the stepping motor to stabilize the Antenna. The Antenna is directed to the satellite
by the above operation and the signal tracking system described later. And the ADE control circuit
controls the RF circuit and communicates with the main CPU on the interface board of the BDE.
2.2.3 RFU
The RFU is a fixed gain amplifier and amplifies L-band TX signal from the BDE and then output
the signal to the LNA. And the RFU amplifies RX signals combined with two RX signals of the
LNA and output to the BDE at L-band. Also the RFU generates two signals for the ADE control
circuit to track the satellite.

2.2.4 GPS and Rotary Joint
The GPS receiver is to receive the signal from GPS satellites and to calculate ship’s position to
decide the antenna elevation angle.
The Rotary Joint is the joint between the ADE and the BDE to pass TX /RX signals, control signals
and power to the ADE. The Rotary Joint is adopted to achieve no rewind operation and provides
consecutive communication.
2.2.5 Tracking system
The signal tracking system is new technology of JRC Inmarsat terminal. Two signals generated in
the RFU based on two RX signals from the LNA, are used for tracking the satellite in this
technology. One is used for the conical scanning of azimuth. The other is used for the step
tracking of elevation.
A GYRO signal is also available to track the satellite. When this GYRO signal is used for the
satellite tracking, above-mentioned two signals are ignored.
To connect ship's GYRO, both of the OIU and the GYRO I/F Box are required.
User can change the tracking system simply by Handset.

Figure 2.3 Functional Diagram of Interface Board
The BDE is composed of the Core Module, the Interface Board, and the Power Board.
External interfaces are listed below:
・ ISDN
・ Ethernet
・ SIM
・ USB
・ RJ11
・ Handset (12-pin connecter)
・ WRF
・ OIU
・ LED

2-6
2.3.1 ISDN
The interface board provides one RJ45 port for ISDN equipment. It meets ISO/IEC 8877, ITU-T
I.430 and Euro ISDN S0 interface.
A 40V (2.5W) power is provided for ISDN phantom power. The ISDN transformer
T60407-M5014-X002 from Vaccumschmelze is used. The phantom powering and power protection
provides 2.5W for a TE. External circuitry to the transceivers is needed to provide impedance
matching, and surge protection. The isolation transformer should be rated to pass 1500V high pot
test for surge and lightning protection. To meet the 1500Vrms isolation requirement, there should
be no ground, power or signal planes beneath the secondary winding of the transformer.
The ISDN transceiver is a PSF21150 from Infineon. Its D channel is routed via serial interface
(SCI) to core processor in CM and B channels are routed to DSP.
2.3.2 Ethernet
One RJ45 port on interface board is used as 10Base-T Ethernet port. It can operate up to 100
meters without external driver hardware.
2.3.3 SIM
The SIM interface meets the mechanical and electrical specifications in UMTS TS 21.111 and TS
31.101.
2.3.4 USB
The interface board has one USB 1.1 slave port as a TE user interface.
The BGAN-X CM shall support user IP traffic over the USB interface. The USB interface shall use
the Belcarra SAFE variant of the USB Forum Communications Device Class (CDC) Ethernet
Control Model. Here the USB port appears as a LAN interface on the user's PC and uses
Ethernet framed data over the USB physical link. This approach overcomes the limitations that
some USB hardware cannot fully support the CDC Ethernet standard and the restriction that the
Microsoft RNDIS approach can not be used on non Windows operating systems such MAC and
Linux.
JRC may provide manufacturer coder for USB device. CM is required to support applications of
dial-up system (PPP over Ethernet, e.g. AMOS, RYNEX etc).
2.3.5 RJ11
2 RJ11 ports provide 4kbps voice service or 3.1kHz audio (FAX).
2.3.6 12-Pin Connector
One 12-pin connector is for JRC-manufactured handset which provides 4kbps voice service.

2-7
2.3.7 WRF
The interface board may provide optional interfaces L-band RF output (connector: SMA type).
2.3.8 LED
LEDs may be used as indicators of:
Ready (Green); if system is logged on (i.e. ready), READY LED will be blinking.
Alarm (Red)
Comm (Green); on if in service
Ethernet connection and link activity (Green)

2-8

installed in the front of OIU.
2.4.2 2-wire FAX analogue terminals
To install 2-wire analogue telephones and FAX terminals, four analogue ports are prepared on the
terminal block. 4k-voice service and 3.1kHz audio service are provided.
2.4.3 External buzzer, and external button connecting terminal
To connecting optional external buzzer and external button, two systems of terminals are prepared.
These options are connected by RS458 interface.
2.4.4 External GPS input terminal
To input the position information from external GPS, external GPS port is prepared on terminal
block. Available format to input is [ ].
2.4.5 GYRO connecting terminal

and also, is the port to connect NMEA GYRO.
2.4.6 NMEA output terminal
The NMEA output is used to provide the information of equipment to VDR.
2.4.6 Remote Power Switch
This is the signal input terminal for turn ON/OFF the power source from a distance.
2.4.7 Connecting with BDE
OIU and BDE is connected by a LAN cable, control cable (7ZCSC0281), and power supply cable
(7ZCSC0222B).
