Control, Monitor and Alarm (CMA)

Answer 82

MET Master Terminal Server This contains the core Control Monitor Alarm (CMA) software, authenticates users, and coordinates status and control information for all devices in the SCT (Satellite Communications Terminal). The MMTS is connected to the ethernet LAN which provides connections to: all OCs, all AGs, PMTS, FTSS, LSS (if installed.)

Answer 83

MCE (MET Computing Environment) - This subsystem consists of a network of PC workstations and servers which hosts the software providing the terminal control and monitoring capabilities. CMA (Control, Monitor and Alarm) - Subsystem of the AN/GSC-52B satellite communications terminal provides the capability for an operator to control the terminal and monitor its performance. It also provides control and monitoring from an External Management Element (EME) via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Answer 84

Each AG has one Antenna Group Terminal Server (AGTS). The AGTS coordinates the status and control information for all devices in the AG, and transmits that information to the MMTS to be displayed on the CMA. *** The MMTS takes the information that the AGTS provides and passes that to the MCE, PMTS, FTSS, SCCS, LBCD, LSS, FOICF, ULAAs, DLAAs.

Answer 85

* Green: Ok/Online equipment carrying satellite communications traffic or performing ancillary functions that is operational. * Blue: Standby equipment available to carry satellite communications traffic or perform ancillary functions that is operational but not online. * Yellow: Equipment unavailable for traffic or to perform ancillary functions (due to manually initiated repair or maintenance). * Red: Equipment malfunction, not operational. * Gray: Equipment not Installed/No Data or Status cannot be determined.

Answer 86

The Performance Monitor and Test System (PMTS) uses a combination of test and signal routing equipment to provide the ability to monitor and test RF signal and equipment performance. Testing is initiated either automatically, on a predetermined schedule, or manually by the operator making a selection at the CMA. A selected RF signal is injected into the system and routed through a variety of signal routing equipment and received at one of two Spectrum Analyzers and Power Sensors. The Spectrum Analyzers and Power Sensors monitor and test signal strength and ensure SCT RF equipment is operating within set parameters. Two Signal Generators are used to inject a signal to assist in testing RF equipment operation. Results are displayed on the CMA screen at the OC, where adjustments can be made affecting system operation.

Answer 87

Automated Test Function allows the operator to perform tests on offline equipment strings and components. ATF functions are initiated by the operator at the CMA. The ATF makes measurements by first taking a baseline reading of a signal entering a component or equipment string, and then comparing the baseline measurement to the actual output of the component or string. Operators must manually route signals to the proper test points thru the CMA and manually connect a Power Sensor to those test points. ATF results are presented in graphical format and can be saved to an external file for later reference. Tests performed by the ATF are listed below: 1. Gain Stability 2. Insertion Loss 3. Amplitude Response 4. Gain Transfer 5. Two-Tone Intermodulation Distortion

Answer 88

Antenna Group Terminal Server CMA

Answer 89

Allows the operator to clear potential logical issues

Answer 90

There is a potential loss of tracking if antenna is not in standby before AGTS is rebooted.

Answer 91

Performance Monitoring Function is a series of tests performed on a continuous schedule to monitor individual carrier signals and composite power levels. PMF tests are performed automatically by the CMA and are displayed on the CMA screen. PMF tests require no operator intervention, but they can be run on demand if required. Individual PMF tests are listed below: * Composite Power Levels * Individual Carrier Feed Power Level * Individual Carrier to Noise Ratio at L-Band Converter Output * Individual Carrier Transmit Gain IF Input to RF Output * Individual Carrier Receive Gain RF Output to IF Input

Control must be taken *** This can be done using the remote client (laptop) or the server (KVM)

Answer 123

Transmit/uplink - terminal modules Receive/downlink - subsystem modules

Answer 124

L-Band *** This means you will have to perform a frequency conversion to L-Band from whatever given band you're working with.

Answer 125

For L-Band terminal/subsystem modules, a calculation must be performed to translate an X-Band or Ka-Band frequency into its corresponding L-Band frequency before it can be checked on the spectrum analyzer. These numbers can be calculated by subtracting the total span of the L-Band (1-2 GHz = 1 GHz span) from the lowest frequency in the frequency range you intend to use. For example, the X-Band Transmit range is 7.9-8.4 GHz. Since 7.9 is the lowest frequency point, subtract 1.0 GHz from this which gives you 6.9 GHz.

Answer 126

upconverter/downconverter

Answer 127

TRANSMIT: 6.9 GHz RECEIVE: 6.25 GHz

Answer 128

TRANSMIT: 29.0 GHz RECEIVE: 19.2 GHz

Answer 129

1. Convert the X-Band signal to its corresponding L-Band frequency: 8.22 GHz (X-Band TX) – 6.9 GHz (LO frequency) = 1.32 GHz 2. Ensure the spectrum analyzer is sampling the correct terminal module, and set the center frequency to 1.32 GHz.

Answer 169

Accept signals and displays frequencies components on the display

Answer 170

frequency amplitude

Answer 171

This is used to specify the frequency axis of the window.

Answer 172

The SPAN key allows adjustments to the frequency span. The frequency span is the perceived spectrum on the display screen. In this picture the span is set to 3 GHz. This means from the left to right limits of the grid display is 3GHz. Another way to look at it, Span is like zooming in and out of the spectrum. The higher your span the harder it is to see small changes.

Answer 173

The BW key calls a menu for setting the resolution bandwidth (RBW), video bandwidth (VBW)

Answer 174

RBW (resolution bandwidth) allows for filtering of the signal noise. This allows for a clearer signal for better signal analysis. VBW (video bandwidth) filters and serve for smoothing the displayed trace. Video bandwidths that are small compared to the resolution bandwidth average out noise peaks and pulsed signals, so that only the signal average is displayed They both basically clean up the signal

Answer 175

Sweep is a measurement that indicates how many scans of the displayed spectrum are happening within a time frame. In this video the sweep time is every 300 milliseconds. *** How many scans of the displayed spectrum are happening within a time frame. WRMS calls this dwell time.

Answer 176

The AMPT key is used to set the reference level, the maximum level and the display range of the active window as well as the input impedance and the input attenuation of the RF input. *** This allows you to adjust up and down on the noise floor to see amplitude. It is measured in dBm and is normally around -90 dBm.

Answer 177
