The frequency ranges

26、 of the band are those defined by WARCBS-77 and RARCSAT-83. The object of this part is to define the conditions and methods of measurement to be applied. This part does not specify performance requirements. The receiving antenna, together with an SHF converter, constitutes an outdoor unit of a satel

27、lite receiver. Methods of measurement on the SHF converter are described in IEC1079-1. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IEC1114. At the time of publication, the editions indicated

28、were valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreement based on this part of IEC 1114 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents listed below.

31、on DBS receiving antennas. 3 General explanation of terms For the purpose of this part of IEC1114, the following general definitions of terms apply. 3.1 receiving antenna: An SHF antenna intended for use in individual and collective reception of satellite broadcast signals. This standard mainly appl

32、ies to paraboloidal reflector antennas, which include offset paraboloidal reflector antennas, Cassegrain reflector antennas and other equivalent types. However, it may also apply to planar array antennas. A paraboloidal reflector antenna usually comprises a main reflector, a primary (and sometimes a

33、 secondary) radiator, a circular polarizer, an SHF converter, supporting structures for a primary radiator or subreflector, pointing structures and an antenna fixture to a supporting mast. The supporting mast, however, is not included in this standard. A radome is also excluded. 3.2 mechanical chara

34、cteristics: The characteristics selected concern the ability of the antenna under test to withstand mechanical forces (wind load, vibration etc.) with acceptable degradation of the electrical performance. 3.3 environmental characteristics: These characteristics concern the durability of the antenna

35、under test when exposed to various adverse climatic conditions over a long period. 3.4 wind velocity: The wind velocity is defined as the maximum instantaneous wind velocity. 3.5 operating wind velocity: The specified velocity at which the electrical characteristics of the antenna under test shall n

36、ot degrade by more than specified values, without readjustment of the antenna direction. A typical value for the antenna gain reduction is 1dB. 3.6 survival wind velocity: The specified velocity at which no permanent degradation of the antenna under test may occur, but re-adjustment of the antenna i

37、s required to restore the electrical performance characteristics of the antenna. 3.7 destructive wind velocity: The specified velocity at which permanent degradation of the electrical characteristics of the antenna under test may occur. But, for safety reasons, no part of the antenna shall mechanica

38、lly disintegrate at this specified wind velocity.EN 61114-2:1996 4 BSI 03-1999 3.8 illustrative definitions and typical values of the three kinds of wind velocities: An illustration of the definitions of the three wind velocity values is shown below: The three values of wind velocities shall be as s

39、pecified in the standard of the country for which the antenna is designed. Typical wind velocities are as follows: 3.9 maximum wind exposure area: Themaximum wind exposure area for a device under test is the maximum projected area for the device. It may not coincide with the projected area in the di

40、rection of the applied force, but it represents the worst case. 4 General notes on measurements 4.1 General conditions 4.1.1 Introduction Measurements shall be carried out in accordance with the following conditions, to ensure repeatable results. 4.1.2 Environmental conditions Unless otherwise speci

41、fied, the general ranges of ambient atmospheric conditions for measurement are those shown inTable 1. Table 1 Environmental conditions 4.1.3 Number of test samples One antenna should be prepared for each test item. If an antenna has to be tested for more than two test items, the test order shall fol

42、low the procedure given in IEC68-1. 4.1.4 Accuracy of measuring instruments Under consideration. 4.1.5 Stabilization period Measurements should be started after the characteristics have had time to stabilize. 4.2 Measuring instruments 4.2.1 Vibration generator The vibration generator shall be able t

43、o generate sinusoidal vibrations over a range of frequencies from at least5Hz to55Hz and have amplitudes that can be adjusted easily. 4.2.2 Test chamber for thermal test The thermal test chamber shall have sufficient capacity to contain the antenna under test and be able to maintain the chosen test

44、temperature at any portion of the antenna under test within 2C. The test chamber shall comply with the requirements given in IEC68-2-14. 4.2.3 Water tank for waterproof test The water tank shall have sufficient capacity to permit the complete immersion of a primary radiator and an SHF converter. Any

45、 air leaks from devices under test in the water tank shall be readily observable. operating wind velocity 20 m/s survival wind velocity 40 m/s destructive wind velocity 60 m/s Temperature range 20C 15C Relative humidity 55% 30% Air pressure 86kPa to 106kPaEN61114-2:1996 BSI 03-1999 5 4.2.4 Test inst

46、ruments for salt mist test The following instruments are necessary for the test: a) test chamber; b) salt solution tank; c) atomizer; d) thermal controller; e) humidifier. The test chamber shall comply with the requirements given in IEC68-2-11. The test chamber shall have a capacity that can contain

48、measurement a) The antenna under test is installed on a rigid antenna test fixture, as shown inFigure 1. The centre part of the reflector is directly supported by the fixture and the periphery of the reflector is connected to the fixture by means of springs at four points, that is at the upper edge,

49、 the lower edge, the right side edge and the left side edge. There shall be an apparatus to apply forces to a primary radiator in vertical and horizontal directions. b) The antenna under test with its fixture is set up in a test site according to clause4 of IEC1114-1, for the measurement of the antenna gain. c) Measure the antenna gain or the figure of merit (G/T) with no wind load. d) Apply forces W 1and W 2to the reflector and the primary radiator according to the procedure s
