37、mpact modem and signal processing units. They can be installed very easily on roof tops, on a wall, or in the car park of the users office building, where the user data terminals are located. They can be used very conveniently and economically to connect the user terminals to the central host comput

38、er located at a distant processing centre. The VSATs are usually used for digital data communications. However, it is possible to use them for voice and/or video communications by adding appropriate voice/video coder/decoders or by adding TV receivers to demodulate analog FM TV signals. VSATs are of

39、ten used in the star type network as shown inFigure 1a. VSATs communicate with a relatively large central earth station, called the hub earth station. In this case, the type of modulation, the bit rates, the coding and access techniques of the outbound (hub to VSAT) channel and the inbound (VSAT to

40、hub) channel are usually different in order to use the satellite channels effectively by multiple access schemes. In this type of VSAT networks the user data are usually processed by the VSAT and hub to support the various computer network protocols effectively. Point-to-point connections between VS

41、ATs as shown inFigure 1b are also used. In this case, the modulation rate and format of the transmitting and receiving signals of the VSAT are usually the same, and the user data are usually passed through the VSAT network transparently without the protocol processing. 3) Formerly CCIR.EN60835-3-13:

42、1996 4 BSI 12-1998 Usually a network control and monitoring computer is provided to control and monitor the network configuration and operation. A typical configuration of a VSAT is shown inFigure 2. It consists of an antenna, an outdoor unit (ODU) and an indoor unit (IDU). Offset parabolic type ant

43、ennas are widely used and often the feed horn is integrated with the ODU, which contains a low noise amplifier, a high power amplifier and up/down converters in a weatherproof housing and installed behind the antenna focal point. The IDU contains an i.f. circuit, a modem and a baseband signal proces

44、sor, and is installed near the user data terminals. The ODU and the IDU are connected by inter-facility link (IFL) cable(s). The ITU-R has established recommendations for technical characteristics of VSATs (see ITU-R Recommendations S725 and 729). 3 Methods of measurement 3.1 General considerations

45、The RF port of the ODU is often directly fitted with the antenna feed horn. In this case, it is necessary to separate the antenna and feed horn from the remaining part of the ODU by manufacturers instructions, to enable the measurement of the antenna parameters and the RF parameters at this interfac

46、e point. Sometimes it may be necessary to use appropriate waveguide adapters and/or transducers to connect the measuring equipment with this interface point. In such a case, the performance of such adapters and/or transducers should be calibrated. When the antenna feed horn is connected to the ODU t

47、hrough a feeder circuit, the feeder circuit may be included either in the antenna sub-system or in the ODU sub-system in the measurements, or its performance (e.g. loss) may be measured separately, as appropriate. Where the loss of the feeder circuit is measured separately, that loss should be subtr

48、acted when calculating the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) of the VSAT (see 3.3.3, 3.3.8 and 3.3.9). Since the control function inside the VSAT usually inhibits emission of the output RF signal when the VSAT in the star type network does not receive the appropriate control signal from

49、 the hub station, it may be necessary to follow the manufacturers instructions to force the VSAT to emit the signal by disabling such control function or by using the hub simulator with network control and monitoring computer or its emulator which generates the control signal (see 3.5). Most of the measurements described in this standard are performed as type tests. 3.2 Antenna See IEC 835-3-2. Ideally, the following items should be measured: a) on-axis gain; b) radiation pattern; c) cross-polarization discrimina
