33、94 3 General 3.1 Up-converter An up-converter is a subsystem of the transmitting chain which converts an i.f. signal (e.g. in the frequency bands 70 MHz or 140 MHz) to an r.f. signal (e.g. in the frequency bands 6 GHz or 14 GHz). Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a typical double conversion up-conve

34、rier. Note that in some cases only one mixing stage may be used. The up-converter shown in figure 1 consists principally of a first i.f. stage, a first mixer, a first local oscillator and a first i.f. filter, a second i.f. stage, a second mixer, a second local oscillator and an r.f. output filter. T

35、he filters are provided after the mixers to suppress the local oscillator signals and other spurious signals which may be present at the output of the mixers. I.F. equalizers may be provided for correcting the up-converter amplitude/ frequency and/or group delay/frequency characteristics but additio

36、nal, separate, i.f. amplitude and group-delay equalizers may be provided to equalize the earth station trans- mit characteristic and to pre-correct for the satellite group-delay and amplitude/frequency response. A variable attenuator is included to adjust the gain of the up-converter. 3.2 Down-conve

37、rter A down-converter is a subsystem of the receiving chain which converts an r.f. signal (e.g. in the frequency bands 4 GHz or 11 GHz) to an i.f. signal (e.g. in the frequency bands 70 MHz or 140 MHz). Figure 2 shows a block diagram of a typical double-conversion down-converter. Note that in some c

38、ases only one mixing stage may be used. The down-converter shown in figure 2 consists principally of an r.f. filter, a first mixer, a first local oscillator, a first i.f. stage, a first i.f. filter, a second mixer, a second local oscil- lator and a second i.f. stage. The i.f. filters are provided af

39、ter the mixers to suppress the local oscillator signals and other spurious signals which may be present at the output. I.F. equalizers may be provided for correcting the down-converter amplitude/frequency and/or group delayjfrequency characteristics. Equalization of the receiving chain is normally c

40、arried out by individual equalizers. Auto- matic gain control (a.g.c.) may be provided to maintain a constant i.f. level with variations in the r.f. input level. 4 Input and output return loss See IEC 835-1 -2. Page 7 EN 60835-3-5 : 1994 NOTE - Special care should be taken that unwanted signals are

41、excluded by the measuring equipment, particularly those from the local oscillator. During the measurement the oscillator power should be adjusted to its nominal value. 5 Input and output level or power See IEC 835-1-2. 6 Gain See IEC 835-1-2. The gain is usually adjustable and should be measured at

42、specified gain control setting. NOTE - The input and output frequencies are different and this should be taken into account in the test arrangement. 6.1 Gain stability See IEC 835-3-4. 6.2 Gain compression 6.2.1 Definition Gain compression is the ratio, in decibels, between the gain measured at low

43、signal levels and !he gain measured at a specified test output and input level. It is usual to specify the output level at which gain compression is 1 dB. 6.2.2 Method of measurement The gain as defined above is measured at different input signal levels and gain compres- sion is then calculated from

44、 the values obtained. For the measurement of small gain compressions, the test equipment used needs to be of high accuracy and stability. If a filter is included to measure the wanted signal, its insertion loss needs to be taken into account in the presentation of the results. A selective level mete

45、r may be used to select the wanted signal for measurement. The gain compression can then be evaluated from the curve which relates output level to input level. NOTES 1 manually to obtain the specified test output levei at the nominal input level(s). If the converter provides a.g.c., this control nee

46、ds to be switched off and the i.f. gain adjusted 2 To avoid errors due to power fluctuations, it may be necessary to use two power meters which are read simultaneously - one meter being connected to the input port and the other to the output port. The use of differential measuring equipment enables

47、the measurement of gain compression to be made with greater accuracy than is achievable using two power meters. 6.2.3 Presentation of results Preferably the results should be presented as a graph of power gain versus input power.

48、1994 When the results are not presented graphically, they should be given as in the folloWng example: “The gain compression at output level of . dBm is . dB.“ 6.2.4 Details to be specified The following items should be included, as required, in the detailed equipment specifi- cat ion : a) input leve

49、l(s) and frequency; b) output level(s) and frequency; c) permitted gain compression. 7 Automatic gain control (a.g.c.) If an a.g.c. is employed its performance can be measured as described below. 7.1 Definition and general considerations The a.g.c. characteristic of the down-converter is given by the i.f. output level as a function of the r.f. input level, both expressed in dBm at the nominal input frequency. This is the steady-state characteristic which is measured by manually changing the r.f. input level. 7.2 Method of measurement The input port of t
