Tektronix 1705A L- Band Input Signals

Introduction

1-12 1705A Spectrum Monitor

L- Band Input Signals

At the present time thereare numerous satellites in geostationary orbit. The

transponderson each h ave specific assigned functions, which makes it essen tial

to accomplish at least four things before illuminating a particular transponder:

1. Locate a satellite.

2. Identify the satellite.

3. Find the transponderand check availability with the satellite operator.

4. Optimize signal strengthand polarization.

Once a satelliteis located and a particular transponderis identified, the 1705A

frequencyreadout can be set so that the entire range of transponder frequencies

can be readdirectly from the 1705A display. As it is shipped from the factory

the 1705A provides a readout in MHz for both bands. However, the 1705A has

severalcustomizing routines that can be used to tailor displays for ease of

operation. In particular the Readout Mode routine provides for frequencyoffset,

so that the frequencydisplayed on the crt is the actual frequency of the trans-

ponder down link. The readout can be set to indicate any1. 10 GHzblock within

the rangeof 0.9 GHz to 20 GHz.
