Combiner Solutions

If you want to add a service(s) without adding a new system, you need a Combiner.  We use Combiners in the broad sense here, embracing dividers.  The big problems in Combining don't come from combining the L band signals, but in what to do with the 10 MHz and the DC power,  Well, the basis of the Orbital approach is that if you can't go through, you go around, but in order to go around, the 10 MHz signal and/or the DC power must often be taken off the IFL and passed around the L band Combiner or the Hybrid Coupler, and re-inserted on the other side.  Sometimes a separate source of 10 MHz reference signal is desired, and we show that too.

Synopsis

Solution Category
2 Way Combiner

Orbital 2-way Combiner using 10 MHz from one of the modems and Hi Power Mux/Tee to insert BUC power.

An Orbital Mux/Tee in reverse is used to extract the 10 MHz signal from one of the modems, while blocking the modem DC.  The L-band signal from both of the modems is combined in a two-way combiner in preparation for being multiplexed with the 10 MHz reference, and the new more powerful DC supply.

This is done in order to properly combine the L-Band signals, and to re-integrate the 10 MHz reference after combining.  In addition, in this solution, the DC power from the modem is insufficient to power the new BUC.

Orbital 4-way Combiner using 10 MHz & DC from one of the modems and Standard Power Mux/Tee to insert BUC power.

An Orbital Mux/Tee in reverse is used to extract the 10 MHz signal and the modem DC.  The L-band signal from all of the modems is combined in a four-way combiner in preparation for being re-integrated with the 10 MHz reference, along with the DC power -filtered by the mux tees.

Since this is a network using all F type connectors, the Orbital Mux/Tees are required to make an impedance transform for the BUC which has an N connector.

2 to 2 Combiner/Divider

Using an Orbital Hybrid Coupler to combine two combine and divide - using 10 MHz from one of the modems.

The L-Band signal from both of the modems goes to the Hybrid Coupler where it is combined and split to a pair of High Power Mux/Tees.  The 10 MHz reference is extracted and feeds a 10 MHz Splitter which redirects the signal to the pair of Mux/Tees.  The Mux/Tees multiplex the DC power with the L-Band and 10 MHz to re-integrate the combined signal for each of the BUCs.

Redundant BUC Combiner

Orbital Hybrid Coupler to combine and divide (2-way) - using MOS Oscillator and 10 MHz Switch for Redundant BUCs

L-Band signals from two modems are combined and divided with an L-Band coupler.  The 10 MHz reference is provided by an Orbital MOS (10 MHz Master Oscillator), and is switched by  the waveguide.  The signals are multiplexed together by a pair of Orbital Hi Power Tees, providing high power DC to the BUCs.  The switching of the 10 MHz utilizes the mute function on the BUCs to turn one of them to full power, and leave one in standby.

2 Way Divider

Orbital 2-Way Divider - extracting 10 MHz from Modem

A Mux/Tee in reverse is used to block the DC from the modem, but extract the L-Band and 10 MHz signals.  The 10 MHz is sent to an Orbital 10 MHz Splitter to provide a reference signal to a pair of Hi Power Mux Tees.  The L-Band signal is routed through a two-way L-Band Divider and then sent to the pair of Mux Tees.  Each Hi Power Mux/Tee multiplexes the two signals with DC Power and feeds one of a pair of BUCs.

Redundant BUC Divider

Orbital 2 way Divider - using Master Oscillator and 10 MHz Switch for redundant BUCs...

L-Band signals from a single modem is divided to feed two Hi Power Mux Tees, while the Orbital Master Oscillator provides a source to a 10 MHz Switch.  The 10 MHz switched signal is used to enable the BUC.  A pair of Orbital MT-40s multiplex the 10 MHz with the L-Band and DC power for the selected BUC.

Redundant BUC Assembly

Orbital Redundant BUC Assembly -

Orbital IDU supplies power, 10 MHz and L-Band filtering to ODU.  10 MHz and DC are extracted, split and re-inserted with minimal loss.

Orbital recommends this configuration (switched 10 MHz), since running both BUCs at full power gives no statistical advantage for redundancy.  It is possible that the redundant BUC will fail before the primary BUC with both BUCs running fully on.  No inrush current.  Instant "On" and lock.
