Consisting of a high-performance, highly flexible fam-
ily of fiber-optic transmitter and receiver plug-ins,
system 8000 allows both microwave and RF signals
to be transmitted over long distances through fiber-
optic cable, and thereby eliminates the need for
coaxial and waveguide interconnections. A fiber-
optic link between the control room and antenna site
allows for convenient remote monitoring and control
as well.
The system can be tailored for a wide range of trans-
mit/receive frequency bands and offers an extensive
selection of unique, site-specific interconnectivity
solutions for satellite earth stations, including:

Configurable 19 in. x 3u (5.25 in.) equipment chas-
sis that includes redundant power supplies; redun-
dancy switching options: single thread, 1:1, and
1:2; and selectable serial interfaces, RS-232 or
RS-485.
Economical 70 MHz/140 MHz links for uplink
antenna remoting, downconverter output distribu-
tion, and intersite connections for backup or
antenna diversity.
L-band links cover the 950 MHz—2050 MHz and
can be used for block downconverted C-, extended
C-, X-, or Ku-band signals, or for L-band Inmarsat
transmit and receive applications.
C-, extended C-, X-, and Ku-band uplink and
downlink systems carry the main transmit and
receive signals between the control room and the
antenna site.
Description
The system 8000 fiber-optic interfacility links repre-
sent a comprehensive and simplified approach to
satellite earth station signal management and con-
trol. Essentially, the system is designed to bring
microwave technology into the 21
st
Century by con-
verting microwave signals into continuously variable
amplitude-modulated optical signals.

Description
(continued)
n
Remote RF monitor links measure the composite
uplink signal at the uplink EIRP monitor coupler
located at the antenna’s input feed flange.
Monitor and control data link provides a full-duplex,
fiber-optic path for either RS-232C or RS-422 data
for the earth station’s monitor and control system.
Status information, including alarms and warnings, is
indicated by front panel LEDs and through standard
system monitor and control serial data ports on the
chassis rear panel.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Typical Block Diagram
As indicated in the block diagram below, the input and output amplifiers are integral to the system 8000. The tables
presented throughout the following sections, however, give the expected performance of each functional block in
the link with respect to their corresponding performance bands, including 70 MHz—140 MHz, L-band, and C-, X-,
and Ku-band interfacility links. These specifications, along with those for remote RF signal monitor interfacility links
and fiber-optic data links, are presented to aid in generating level diagrams for overall system analysis.

70 MHz/140 MHz Interfacility Link Specification
These links are designed to interconnect the up- and downconverters with the satellite modems or video exciters
and demodulators. They are specified to meet and exceed Intelsat requirements to 70 km. They are ideal for inter-
connections on site, to and from a diverse antenna site and for local access between a teleport and the end user.
The 70 MHz/140 MHz links are available as nonredundant or 1:1 redundant links only.

System 8000 Fiber-Optic Interfacility Links
L-Band Interfacility Link Specifications
The L-band links can carry a downconverted C-, X-, or Ku-band polarization. They can also carry the L-band trans-
mit or receive signals for a satellite mobile communications feederlink station for systems such as Inmarsat. Each
link is designed to meet and exceed all of the requirements for use in Intelsat Standard A and C earth stations even
under the highest signal-loading conditions. The links are especially useful for routing signals to and from a diverse
antenna site. One fiber is used in single-strand links and two are used in 1:1 redundant paths. Optionally, the path
may share a fiber-optic link with another path in 1:2 redundant configurations.
