27. Figure 1 2 LPOD R Typical Block Diagram 1 4 2 SSPA Module The amplifier module performs the core function of the unit An isolator is at the RF input to ensure good voltage standing wave ratio VSWR The RF signal then passes through an electronically controlled attenuator that adjusts the overall attenuation according to the user input After some amplification a second attenuator is automatically controlled via a look up table to maintain the amplifier gain at a constant level over temperature variations The RF signal is then amplified by a multi stage design that utilizes proprietary combining techniques to meet the rated power requirements The output circuitry contains a coupler to provide a sampled signal for monitoring purposes A power detector circuit also is included and the reading can be accessed via remote communication A high power circulator and load is located at the output to provide good VSWR and protection from external mismatch LPOD R Outdoor Amplifier Block Up Converter BUC MN LPODR Introduction Revision 1 1 4 3 1 4 4 1 4 5 Cooling System The PS 5 contains a single fan that is always enabled The PS 1 contains one temperature controlled fan and the PS 1 5 contains two temperature controlled fans Monitor and Control M amp C The LPOD R includes a microprocessor based system that provides monitoring and control of the essential parameters of the unit You interface with the unit through the M amp C
