Orbital solutions are products we have
built in the past for clients, or they reflect the way
that our products are actually used or installed.
Most often, the solutions occur when a client is adding
to an existing system and our solutions allow the client
to expand service without having to duplicate a system -
for instance when adding an additional modem or
receiver, or moving retroactively to a redundant system.
Frequently, our solutions allowed a client to overcome
an impaired system and replace it with a one with much
improved reliability and performance. A common
task for systems running on aging satellites, is to move
from low drift PLL LNBs or BDCs, to external reference
and therefore, master oscillators. Included, are
some typical installations of basic products, such as a
mux tee or thru tee.

BDCs - Block Down
Converters
The term BDC is commonly used to
refer to the modules (which look
like an LNB with the waveguide
removed and replaced with a
connector), and to the rack-mounted
unit which might contain from one to
several BDC modules. BDCs are
increasingly used in outdoor units
at the antenna - ODUs, and have an
indoor rack mounted controller -
IDUs. BDCs are commonly used
when a client uses multiple BDCs and
a single LNA to cover the entire
band.
When you want to add a service
without adding an entire new system,
you need a Combiner. For
instance, you may want to add a
second modem and you try to use a
standard combiner, and suddenly you
have lost or seriously impaired your
10 MHz signal, here's what to do.
Perhaps you want
to change from low drift PLLs to
external reference LNBs and you need
an Oscillator...
Here's a few LNB solutions, for
adding additional services, or
perhaps you have just purchased a
new LNB with external DC or dual DC.
There are a few external reference
examples as well.
Oscillator stacks,
plates and racks, here are a few
examples to start with. How to
discipline multiple products with a
single Master Oscillator. How to
organize oscillators and splitters to
best effect.
Also, you can start
your thinking from the other end - I
have a problem X - would an Oscillator
give me a solution? See if these
solutions are similar to your problem -
if they aren't we can design something
for you.
Although Combiners and Oscillators are
also SIP products, we have narrowed the
definition here to just include Bias
Tees, Diplexers, Mux Tees, TTL Switches,
Thru Tees, Dual Power Tees, etc.
Here are standard applications for each
of these products. Here's how to
insert 10 MHz, insert DC, extract 10
MHz, block DC, extract DC, multiplex DC
L band and 10 MHz, and perform impedance
transforms while you do it.
