System Interface Products (SIP)

System Interface Products (SIP)

System Interface Products replace what is normally a mélange of separate devices with integrated systems manufactured specifically for the satellite industry. All SIP units are rack mountable, and act to reduce the mess of cables at the back of the rack. Product integration results in greater quality, vastly improved reliability, much less signal loss, properly matched components, and lowered overall costs, especially when the costs to source, assemble, and test a 'kluge' are considered.

MOS 10 MHz Master Oscillator (TCXO)

Quiet, Stable, Pure, and Enduring

Orbital Research introduces a 10 MHz Oscillator with excellent phase noise and stability, in a package made especially for the satellite industry, available at a great price.

The Orbital MOS - Master Oscillator can be used alone or combined with other Orbital products such as the MT 25/40 Mux/Tee, DPT - Dual Power Tee, or SP10 - 10 MHz Splitter to provide the 10 MHz source to synchronize your entire system.   See our Master Oscillator Module (MOM). You can lock the signals of your LNB, BDC, BUC, Modem or VSAT to the same precise signal.  You can even combine it with a pair of Mux/Tees to lock both the horizontal and vertical polarity to the same time base.  See our Master Oscillator Dual Modules (MODM).

J1 is a feedthrough from the DC in - J3 so that you can send power to any components attached or adjacent to the MOS Oscillator, such as the components mentioned above.

The Master Oscillator has been designed specifically for the satellite industry. Its sturdy case, allodyned finish, small size and back-o-rack mounting system make it both enduring and easy to use. The replaceable, Murray-style connectors guarantee the best possible connections for the life of the product.

System Interface Products (SIP), fit between the Outdoor LNB's or transmitters, (ODU),
and the Indoor receivers and modems (IDU).

SIP Solutions

Systems Interface Products
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.

Using a Hi Power Thru Tee to power a BUC Modem has DC power, but not enough to power my new BUC.
4 Way Combiner with 10 MHz Oscillator and Hi Power DC insert. I want to lock several modems to a single 10 MHz Oscillator, and insert high power DC to my BUC.
Orbital 2-way Combiner using 10 MHz from one of the modems and Hi Power Mux/Tee to insert DC power I have a pair of modems, one of which provides a 10 MHz reference, but I don't have enough power from my modem for my new high power BUC.
Orbital Combiner/Divider stripping out the 10MHz from only one of two modems I have a pair of modems and I need to use the 10 MHz reference from one of them and split it.  I need to take the L-Band signal from both modems and combine it with the 10 MHz reference.  Now I need to insert DC power for a pair of high power BUCS.
Orbital Combiner/Divider using a MOS 10 MHz Oscillator I need to combine the L-Band signals from a pair of modems with an common, external 10 MHz source, and insert power to a pair of high power BUCs.
Using an Orbital Hi Power Thru Tee to circumvent a divider or switch My modem does not have sufficient DC to power my BUCs, and I can't switch DC power to the BUC, what to do?
Horizontal/Vertical Polarity 1 for 2 Redundant System We need a system that will provide us with both horizontal and vertical polarities at Ku Band.  In addition, the system must offer 1 for 2 redundancy.
More SIP Solutions
Using a Mux Tee Using an Orbital MT-40 Mux Tee to multiplex the L-Band, and 10 MHz reference signals with DC power for a BUC.
Using a Bias Tee Using an Orbital MT-40 Mux Tee as a Bias Tee to insert DC Power to a BUC
Using a Diplexer Using an Orbital MT-40 Mux Tee as a Diplexer to insert a 10 MHz reference to a BUC
Using Redundant Power Tee Using an Orbital Redundant Power Tee provides inexpensive power supply redundancy.
Using a Thru Tee Using an Orbital Thru Tee to provide a separate DC power supply to the BUC, while passing the 10 MHz signal through from the modem.
